As soon as Edison heard it, he knew it wasn't a good thing. Since Joseph hadn't told Zoe the reason
when he left, he naturally didn't want her to know. How could he possibly tell her now?
But if he didn't, Zoe wouldn't let him go, so he couldn't help but feel even more depressed.
"Ouch, my stomach hurts!"
With that, he was about to run for the toilet, but Zoe yanked him by the collar.
"Don't even think about leaving. You really think I'm afraid to go into the gents, don't you? Edison, think
carefully, if I go into your bathroom, you'll have to be responsible for me."
As soon as he heard the word “responsible”, Edison couldn't help but shiver.
"My God, you're really ..."
Edison couldn't even find the right words to describe her.
Zoe smiled sweetly, "Really what? "
"Forget it, I help you, okay? When Joseph tries to kill me later, you're going to have to protect me. Do
you hear me?"
Zoe suddenly said with contempt, "Aren't you ashamed to ask a girl to protect you?"
"No. I didn't want to investigate. You forced me to do it. Shouldn't you be protecting me?"
"Yes. I'll protect you! Just hurry up!"
Zoe was practically getting frantic.
Only then did Edison get up slowly and walk towards the study. He winked at the maid as he went, who
took his cue and already started to go outside to call Lucas.
Opening the computer, Edison tapped the keyboard quickly.
Lucas froze for a moment as he got the message, then quickly turned on the computer and started
chatting in code with Edison on the computer.
"Tell Zoe that Eaton is ill and in a very special condition, and that Joseph is here to take a look. Joseph
will be back in a couple of days with Eaton, and Great-grandpa is sick because he's anxious about it,
so tell her to take good care of Great-grandpa."
"Is Eaton really sick?"
Edison couldn't help but be a little worried.
"No, it's a kidnapping. the Shaffer family kidnapped Eaton, and I'll get even with them sooner or later."
"The Shaffer family? Is it the Shaffer family in Capital City?"
"Yes. You should be careful. I remember that the Shaffer family has people in the military. You should
keep a low profile these days."
Lucas wasn't too sure about Edison.
"Don't worry, my daddy is at least Edgar Kidd. They wouldn't dare hurt me. But I went back home to
Valence City the other day and saw someone come up to our house to talk to my daddy. I did overhear
the words “the Shaffer family”. It's not like they couldn't bribe the Green Family and turned around to
bribe the Kidd family, is it?"
"I don't know. Don't worry about grown-ups' business. How is your health these days?"
"I'm fine. Don't worry about me. If you need anything, just tell me. I'm always here."
"Okay."
Lucas was a little relieved.
Edison was one of the few friends he had.
Zoe couldn't see clearly what they were talking about in code and couldn't help but frown and ask, "Is it
done yet?"
"You think hacking is fun? I have to take my time finding it!"
Edison said quickly.
As she watched Edison's long fingers fly over the keyboard, she couldn't help but think of Lucas, and
she wondered how her brother was doing now.
She missed him a little.
Zoe waited quietly while Edison waited for a while before telling Zoe what Lucas had said.
She looked a little worried.
"What kind of disease does he have? Is it serious?"
"Missy, I can't find out about this. Since Joseph was there, it was natural that this wouldn't be filed.
Where am I going to look up something that isn't on file?"
He had no problem with that.
Now that she'd achieved her goal, Zoe got up and left.
"You're being too ruthless, aren't you?"
Edison got even more depressed.
Zoe waved her hand and said, "I'll buy you something good to eat later."
Was he the one lacking in good food?
Was he?
Edison looked at the maids. The maids hurriedly lowered their heads, but one by one, they pursed up
their lips and dared not laugh.
"Go, go, go. Just do what you need to do."
Edison shook her head and hurriedly changed her clothes to go out.
Zoe went quickly to the hospital when she learned what had happened.
Lucas was right. As they were outside rescuing Eaton, she had to stay with Great-grandpa, and it
looked like Tanner was still there.
Joseph got on the plane and it didn't take long to get to Capital City, where he was met by Michele.
Lucas didn't feel at ease having someone else pick him up, and Morty didn't object. He would have
liked his daughter to have more contact with the children of the Green Family.
Joseph quickly contacted Lucas after getting off the plane and was a little surprised to learn that it was
Mr. Morty's daughter who had come to pick him up, but he had no other emotions.
"Joseph, this way please."
Michele called after Lucas.
Joseph was a little surprised but nodded. Once he got into the car, he quickly opened his iPad to look
at something.
Michele glanced at it and found it all in medical terms, which were obscure and difficult to understand.
She couldn't understand it, so she asked, "Joseph, you can read all this?"
"This is the subject of my research."
Joseph said without raising his head.
Michele was instantly in awe of him.
She had always respected people who made a living from their talent, and besides, this man was
Lucas' brother.
Michele sat quietly on the side and didn't bother him, which made Joseph a little surprised, but also
comfortable.
The two made their way silently to the Hill family.
Lucas was already waiting for him. When he saw Joseph, he came out in a hurry.
"Brother!"
"Lucas!"
Joseph rushed forward and the two hugged each other tightly.
Michele couldn't help but freeze.
Lucas was indifferent and aloof to everyone. She thought he was the same way with his own family, but
she didn't expect him to hug.
For some reason, Michele was suddenly a little envious of Lucas's siblings.
Joseph had matured a lot over the years and was looking more and more like a successor to the Green
Family, which made Lucas particularly happy.
The two hugged and parted, and Joseph asked in a rush, "Where's Eaton?"
"Inside."
Lucas walked quickly ahead while Joseph followed behind. And Michele was ignored by them.
Morty was a little pleased to see Joseph.
"Joseph, you're here?"
"Uncle Morty."
Although the Green family and the Hill family were on good terms, Joseph did not ignore the courtesy
that he should have.
Morty was even more appreciative of him.
"Just make yourself at home. Come into my study. I have something to say to you."
Morty took Lucas and Joseph to his study, shutting everyone out.
Joseph learned the full story and couldn't help but be a little angry.
It seemed that he needed to strengthen himself quickly, otherwise, it would not do for anyone to take
action against the Green Family.
He could never, ever let the tragedy of his father's generation repeat itself!
Only by being strong could he protect the people he wanted to protect!
So Joseph didn't refuse Morty's invitation in the slightest.
"Okay, I promise to join. But I need to have an absolute say. At least in my field, I don't want to be
swayed by anyone."
He didn't do exactly what Morty wanted and was conceited, but it was precisely this conceit of his that
Morty admired.
