Angelina decided to step forward, grabbed Nancy's arm and said, "Father. Look, these wounds that you
can see on Nancy were inflicted by Joseph."
She seemed to be implying that Joseph deserved the blame and that the incident had little to do with
Nancy.
"I wasn't asking you. Let Nancy speak for herself," Frederic snapped in a cold, authoritative tone.
Nancy inhaled a deep breath.
Speaking in a calm tone, she said, "Grandpa, there is absolutely no animosity between me and
Joseph. There is no reason for me to frame him. We are at a hospital, and Joseph was causing a
commotion by crying and screaming. The other patients who also are injured or sick were being
affected and couldn't rest properly. So of course, I had no other choice but to call the police."
"Of course. It was you who called the police!" Frederic scoffed.
"Grandpa, you already knew about that, didn't you?" This time, when Nancy spoke, she was neither
humble nor pushy.
"You! How dare you speak to me that way?" When he heard Nancy's tone, Frederic was even more
furious than he was before.
Angelina looked at Nancy, trembling from fear. She whispered, "Nancy, grandpa is sick."
Nancy bit her lower lip to resist her urge to react and said, "Well, grandpa. Let me check your heart
rate."
In an attempt to change the atmosphere, Nancy took out a stethoscope from her bag and tried to listen
to Frederic's heartbeat.
Since Frederic was typically a very calm and reasonable man, she wasn't able to anticipate that he was
currently too angry and flipped out of his mind for a moment.
All of a sudden, Frederic grabbed the stethoscope from her hand and hit the wound on her forehead.
By this time, Nancy's wound hadn't even stopped bleeding yet. So when Frederic knocked on her head
again, a stream of crimson blood flowed from her forehead down to her chin.
"Oh no... Father... Nancy..." Angelina was so frightened by what she had just seen from her father that
she couldn't even speak coherently.
Nancy's vision turned into a haze and her body dropped to the ground.
"Nancy, Nancy... Somebody! Help!" Angelina shouted in a state of panic.
Around this time, Erin happened to be walking to the pharmacy to get some medicine. She had already
been promoted as the head nurse of the Second Pediatric Department by now.
Upon hearing Angelina's screams, she ran over to the ward out of curiosity.
When she got there, she found Nancy unconsciously lying in Angelina's arms.
Erin's eyes widened from the shocking scene. Then, she placed both her hands to cover her mouth.
When she arrived, the doctors and several nurses had already rushed inside to help them.
"What happened? What's wrong with Director Nancy?" the stupefied doctor asked anxiously.
"My father... Please be careful!" Angelina didn't dare to neglect the fact that Frederic was also in poor
health. If anything happened to him that would worsen his sickness, she wouldn't be able to afford it.
"Okay." One of the doctors went towards Frederic to comfort and take care of him.
Another doctor took Nancy to the therapeutic room to check on her wound.
After what she saw, Erin contemplated for a while and decided to give Charles a call.
At that time, Charles was dealing with some things in the traffic police station.
He spent the whole time inspecting the surveillance video with Hiram, but didn't seem to find anything
unusual.
Based on the video, Hiram's car suddenly stopped, and then Derrick's car crashed right into him. It was
rush hour at the time and Derrick's car was driving a little too fast. However, it was also apparent that
the driver of Derrick's car wasn't over-speeding.
For that reason, Hiram felt that he had to take full responsibility for the matter.
Hiram claimed that there was no purpose for his actions, but couldn't seem to find any evidence. The
police had detained his car as it needed to be inspected.
"Mr. Fu, since we know that Derrick and Anna were secretly conspiring together, maybe we can find a
way to manipulate her into telling the truth," suggested Hiram after having thought of it for a while.
"That is possible. However, we will have to wait until Derrick wakes up. In fact, even if Anna was not in
the picture, there would also be other women working for Derrick. It seems that when it comes to
dealing with women, my uncle is better than both you and me," Charles said as he laughed at himself
ironically.
"What? What do you mean by that?" asked Hiram. Charles was a man who was always confident in
himself. He had never spent a single second looking down on himself for any reason.
"Don't think about it too much. All I meant was in terms of deceiving women," answered Charles as he
patted Hiram on the shoulder.
"Oh, I thought you were referring to sex." Hiram laughed and said, "I guess he's too old, so he is hardly
functional."
"It's hard to say." Charles raised his eyebrows and smiled sardonically.
"You guys don't even know whether the man is dead or alive, and yet the two of you are joking about
him," the policeman suddenly intercepted. He continued, "But of course, in the eyes of many women,
Joseph is more popular than his father."
"Well if you know so much about gossip, then why wouldn't you let us do the same?" Hiram sneered at
the policeman.
"This is part of my job, but this case seems to be very tricky. Mr. Sun, if you are unable to find any
evidence, your future is clearly in jeopardy." The policeman's tone was suddenly cold and detached.
"We will find the evidence. Don't worry about it," answered Charles with confidence.
Just as he finished speaking, his phone suddenly rang.
When he looked at the caller ID on his phone, he saw Erin's name. The sight of this caused Charles to
frown from displeasure.
The reason why Erin's number was saved in the first place was in case there was any emergency
regarding Nancy. Now, that she was suddenly calling, Charles immediately knew that something was
wrong.
"Mr. Fu, is anything wrong?" Seeing Charles' face flush pale in such a critical moment, Hiram suddenly
became agitated as he sensed that something was wrong.
"Nothing. I need to go out to answer this call," Charles said before he walked out of the station.
Because Hiram was so worried, he wanted to follow him out. Unfortunately, he was stopped by the
police. "Mr. Sun, you're not allowed to leave the station as we are still processing the investigation. I
hope you can cooperate with us."
Hiram didn't have any choice, so he stopped in the middle of his tracks.
"Erin, what's going on?" Charles asked in a low, brooding voice.
"Mr. Fu. I'm calling about Nancy. It seems that something bad had happened to her. She... She just
fainted." Erin was stammering as she spoke.
"Fainted?"
"Yes..."
"Can you tell me everything that happened?" Charles knew that Nancy wouldn't simply pass out
because of her injury, so he knew at once that something was wrong.
While he asked that question, he briskly walked into his car.
"All I know was that Mrs. Fu asked for Nancy to go to Frederic's ward. Then... she just passed out."
Erin didn't dare to hide anything from a man like Charles, so she immediately told the truth.
"My mother?" His mother really was a troublesome woman. She knew that her son was currently in
distress, and yet she was still causing more problems for him.
"Yes," Erin answered timidly.
After the call ended, Charles drove straight to the hospital.
At first, he went straight to the therapeutic room to check up on Nancy. By that time, Nancy had just
woken up and her wound was re-bandaged. There was bright red blood seeping from the white gauze
on her forehead.
"How is Nancy doing?" Charles asked the doctor.
"There doesn't seem to be any major problems. However, it will take a much longer time for a wound to
heal after a second injury," the doctor calmly explained.
Without uttering a single word, Charles turned back and hastily walked straight into his grandfather's
ward.
"Charles, where are you going?" Nancy was worried that Charles would get into a fight with his
grandfather again, so she tried to get up to stop him. However, the moment she put her head up, she
suddenly got light-headed.
She placed her hand on her forehead to collect herself.
"Director Nancy, it would be best if you don't move for now. Since you have lost so much blood, you
might be unable to walk properly." The doctor gently placed his hand on her shoulder.
Nancy had no choice, so she had to lie down again.
Charles strode to Frederic's ward.
By now, Frederic's mood had already been pacified. However, his hard staring eyes remained squinted
and he was red in the face. It was evident that he was still feeling angry.
Even if Joseph was a decadent child, he was still his grandson and a descendant of the Fu family. Of
course, he couldn't refrain from being enraged upon finding out that Joseph was arrested by the police.
Nonetheless, it was a bit excessive to put the blame on Nancy.
