Chapter 474

Dazzling sunlight streamed in from the window. The ceiling was snow-white and spotless. The smell of
disinfectant in the air was strong.

“I think he’s awake!” Ethan heard Johanna’s excited voice.

Then, he heard Beal’s voice. “I’ll call the doctor. When Janet comes back from getting breakfast, I’m
sure she’ll be really happy!”

The doctor came minutes later. He took out a small flashlight and checked Ethan’s pupils.

“He’s awake, which means that he’ll be fine. As for when he should be discharged from the hospital, it’ll
depend on the wound’s rate of recovery.”

After the doctor left, Johanna immediately approached Ethan’s bedside and asked worriedly, “How are
you feeling? Are you in pain? If you feel any discomfort, I’ll call our private doctor to check on you
again.”

Ethan couldn’t believe his ears. Did he suffer from a head injury as well? Why did his mother-in-law
suddenly care about him?

Before he could say anything, Beal handed him a glass of water. “I bet you’re thirsty. Here’s some
water.”

Ethan eyed the glass of water suspiciously, wondering if it was poisoned. It wasn’t impossible that this
couple would scheme to get rid of him while Janet wasn’t around…

“Beal, you’re scaring him.” Noticing the suspicion on Ethan’s face, Johanna pulled her husband’s hand
away from Ethan. Then she cleared her throat and said, “Thank you for saving our beloved daughter. In
a way, it’s like you saved the two of us. Now that we’ve finally reunited with Janet, we’d be destroyed if
she was taken away from us.”



Although Johanna still put on airs, Ethan could tell that she was being sincere. It seemed that they
were really ready to accept their son-in-law.

Wondering if this was all an illusion, Ethan had to close his eyes and gather his bearings.

He wouldn’t relax until Janet came back.

“Dad, Mom, come and have some breakfast. I’ll take care of…” With a tray of food in her hands, Janet
walked in and looked at Ethan first even though she was talking to her parents.

When she saw that he was awake, her eyes lit up and she broke into a huge grin.

After Beal and Johanna left, Ethan narrowed his eyes suspiciously and mused, “Your parents were so
mean to me before. Why are they so kind to me all of a sudden?”

Janet peeled the lid off of the take-out bowl, and the delicious aroma of chicken soup wafted in the air.

“When you were still unconscious, they found out that you had saved me. My mother looked at you
under a new light. It was as if you were her own son,” Janet added in a half-joking tone. She scooped
up a spoonful of soup, blew on it, and guided it to Ethan’s lips. “You were knocked out for a whole night.
The doctor said that you must eat more to replenish your energy.”

With his deep gaze fixed on Janet, Ethan’s lips parted slightly to accept the spoonful of soup. Then he
patted her thigh and said in a low voice, “Totally worth it.”

Jonet chuckled ond shook her heod helplessly. “You’re hurt, so be coreful. My mother’s right outside. If
she sees you misbehove, she will get ongry ogoin. It wosn’t eosy for you to eorn their fovor, ond you’ll
hove to keep eorning it.”

Ethon coughed ond glonced ot the door to the word nervously. Then, he become serious. “The ceiling
of the cinemo wouldn’t just collopse for no reoson. Did they releose on officiol stotement regording the



incident?”

Jonet continued to feed him, but the light in her eyes dimmed slightly. “The motter’s still under
investigotion. There’s no conclusive results yet. Mom told me thot it wos newly built, so the ceiling
couldn’t hove collopsed unless there wos o mojor construction flow. So it’s oll rother suspicious.”

“It wos no occident,” Ethon soid in o low voice, on imperceptible ruthlessness floshing in his eyes.

Somebody hod coused the roof to collopse, just like how somebody hod storted the fire downstoirs
their oportment before.

The incident wos so serious thot it coused o sensotion. As long os Ethon investigoted it thoroughly, he
would find out who wos behind this.

In the following doys, Ethon stoyed in Bornes for his recuperotion. Meonwhile, he tosked Gorrett with
the investigotion of this motter secretly.

Janet chuckled and shook her head helplessly. “You’re hurt, so be careful. My mother’s right outside. If
she sees you misbehave, she will get angry again. It wasn’t easy for you to earn their favor, and you’ll
have to keep earning it.”

Ethan coughed and glanced at the door to the ward nervously. Then, he became serious. “The ceiling
of the cinema wouldn’t just collapse for no reason. Did they release an official statement regarding the
incident?”

Janet continued to feed him, but the light in her eyes dimmed slightly. “The matter’s still under
investigation. There’s no conclusive results yet. Mom told me that it was newly built, so the ceiling
couldn’t have collapsed unless there was a major construction flaw. So it’s all rather suspicious.”

“It was no accident,” Ethan said in a low voice, an imperceptible ruthlessness flashing in his eyes.



Somebody had caused the roof to collapse, just like how somebody had started the fire downstairs
their apartment before.

The incident was so serious that it caused a sensation. As long as Ethan investigated it thoroughly, he
would find out who was behind this.

In the following days, Ethan stayed in Barnes for his recuperation. Meanwhile, he tasked Garrett with
the investigation of this matter secretly.
