Andrew hurriedly turned back from the window and walked quickly to the bedside , his face full of worry . " Mr. Hawthorne , how are you feeling ? Is anything bothering you ? " Lucas gently shook his head . " I'm fine . I just woke up , and my body feels a little weak . " Andrew , hearing this , was so relieved that he almost cried . " Mr. Hawthorne , it's so good that you're awake ! You've been unconscious for so long , and the doctors were helpless . Madam Tessa was so worried . " As he spoke , he gently wiped the tears from his eyes with his sleeve . Andrew had been brought back to the Hawthorne family by Lucas when he was six , and they had practically grown up together . He had always considered Lucas his most important family member . " By the way , I need to tell Madam Tessa you're awake . She'll be so happy ! " Andrew said , almost overwhelmed with joy . " Wait a moment , listen to me first ... " Lucas briefly outlined his plans . After he finished speaking , he appeared a bit tired . After all , he had just woken up and was still extremely weak . " Alright , I'll handle it right away , " Andrew nodded repeatedly . " Mr. Hawthorne , you should rest . I'll send more people outside . " Especially near the windows ; he hadn't forgotten that Sloane had climbed through the window . Sloane returned to the lobby on the first floor and bumped into Adrian , who had come to find her . Adrian grabbed Sloane's arm , his face dark and his forehead veins pulsing . " Sloane , do you think my warning was just for show ? I can send you to asylum once , I can do it again . " " Heh ! " Sloane snorted , breaking free from his grip and mocking him . " Mr. Adrian , how could I not believe what you say ? " Helen quickly approached , lowering her voice . " Sloane , if you want to embarrass yourself , go back to the countryside . This isn't a place for you to cause trouble . " She turned to Adrian and said , " I'll handle this . Your dad is waiting to introduce you to a few executives , don't waste any more time . " " Fine , Adrian shot Sloane a warning glance and walked off in another direction . Helen pulled Sloane into a secluded corner . Her smile instantly vanished , replaced by a look of anger . She raised her hand as if to slap her . " You b * tch , you did this on purpose , didn't you ? Do you have any idea how important this marriage is to the Rivers family ? " Sloane reacted quickly , grabbing Helen's wrist and coldly staring at her . " Your family always wants to hit people . That's a sickness . It needs treatment . " Helen was momentarily taken aback by Sloane's gaze . She hadn't expected Sloane , who had always been obedient before , to become so tough after returning from the asylum . After a moment , Helen forcefully yanked her hand away from Sloane's grip . " You'd better be careful . Who do you think would want to marry a lunatic ? Just be glad that you can help the Hawthorne family to ward off the bad luck . " " Is marrying into the Hawthorne family paving the way for your precious daughter , Sammy ? " Sloane sneered , the curve of her smile bitter , though her eyes revealed only endless sorrow . This person is my own mother . " You ! " Helen was about to scold her but stopped when she noticed the strange look in Sloane's eyes . Following her gaze , she saw two blurry figures in the distance , standing close together . Samantha was her daughter , whom she had raised with her own hands . She knew her figure well , and the other man had to be Mason A proud expression instantly spread across Helen's face , as all her plans were falling into place . 6.5 She slightly lifted her chin , her eyes gleaming with satisfaction .
