Elise paused. Before she could turn around, Macaque had respectfully presented her with a box in hishand.

Bryce smiled a faint smile. “I’m also worried about your brother after he was hurt like that, El. Thismedicine can’t bring the dying back to life, but it can keep him in a state of suspended animation for halfa year to buy you time to save him.”

Elise darted a glance at the box in Macaque’s hand. Instead of taking the box right away, she threw asidelong glance behind her. “And the conditions are?”

That was the reason Elise had never really taken too much advantage of Bryce despite them havingknown each other for such a long time. Whatever he gave her, he would always have her pay him backdoubly in other ways. It had occurred to Elise more than once that it was a waste of his talents for Bryce,who was so good at doing business, to stay in the black market. He should’ve joined the financial marketto play the numbers game with those capitalists, she thought.

“That’s why I’d say no one in the world knows me better than you do, El,” Bryce replied ingratiatingly.

“Stop beating around the bush. Just cut to the chase,” Elise said irritably.

“Alright. You never speak with me longer than necessary, anyway; I’m already used to it.” Bryce put downhis wine glass. When he looked up again, his eyes flickered with shrewdness. “I want you to participatein the arena ten times and win all of them for me.”

“Okay,” Elise replied without hesitation. After a moment’s pause, she turned to look at Bryce, her eyesslightly narrowed. “Tell me who asked you to give me the medicine.” Bryce had few things to care about,but he didn’t have much time to spend at leisure, so he couldn’t possibly have looked into the AndersonFamily’s affairs. Since he had the medicine prepared beforehand, someone must have told him to do so.

“Well…” Bryce hesitated without giving Elise the answer. After lowering his head, he continued with ahalf-smile, “That’d be a separate deal, El. Short debts make long friends. If you want to know who it is,you’ve got to wait until you have something I

need.”

“Great.” Elise clenched her teeth. Then, she turned around, took the box from Macaque, and left theroom without looking back.

Bryce watched all of this quietly, but the smile in his eyes slowly faded. Then, he said indifferentlythrough his thin lips, “Go make arrangements for the arena matches.”

“Yes, Master Bryce,” Macaque replied reverently.

Elise returned to the hospital with the medicine. After she administered it to Trevor, his vital signs quicklystabilized.

Thomas was called over at the last minute, but the results of the medical examination were similar towhat Bryce had said: Trevor had gone into a vegetative state once again. Even though the results werestill unacceptable, he was lucky to have escaped death, so Jeanie and Austin thought it was a silverlining.

After the medical staff had left, Elise spotted Harald in the hallway and made an excuse to leave theward. Seeing him entering the nearest emergency exit, she followed behind him quietly.

Slowly, she heard voices coming from the stairwell. Harald said, “…Have you thought this through? Thatguy refused to take responsibility for you earlier, and now he’d become a vegetable. You’re not hisgirlfriend or anything right now, so the Andersons aren’t gonna think highly of you if you volunteer to lookafter him.”

Then, a young female voice replied, “He just didn’t know what had happened, but it’s fine as long as Iknow it myself. He’s my first man, Harald. I can’t just leave him to die.”

The Field Family had only one daughter. Judging from the voice, it was probably Yvonne.

Harald let out a heavy breath. “How could you call that ‘leave him to die? You’re an unmarried lady. Howcould you go look after a guy? If that guy still refuses to marry you after he comes around, who else inthe world’s gonna marry you?”

“If the Andersons are really that ungrateful, I’ll stay unmarried for life. I’m smart, anyway. When Igraduate, I’ll naturally replace a good job to support myself” Yvonne replied in a fit of pique.

Harald didn’t sound very pleased either. “That’s nonsense! There isn’t a girl who stays unmarried for life!”

It surprised Elise that the Field Family still had a daughter who had such a noble character. Indeed, withthe state Trevor is in, he needs someone to look after him constantly.

Money can buy people, but it can’t buy a genuine heart, she thought. After pondering for a moment, shewalked over to the wooden door of the emergency exit and opened it.

Fifteen minutes later, Elise returned to the ward with Yvonne.

Looking at Yvonne, Jeanie asked, “Elise, who is…”

“She’s the caretaker I’ve found for Trevor. She can be trusted.” Then, Elise said, “Yvonne, you’ll be incharge of looking after my brother from now on.”

“Okay.” Yvonne nodded.

However, Jeanie doubted Yvonne’s capabilities somewhat because of how young she looked. “Are youreally up to the task? You look so young.”

“I am, Mrs. Anderson. I took care of my mom during the ten years she was bedridden, and the doctorspraised me for not letting her suffer the least bit,” Yvonne said sincerely.

Seeing that Yvonne was quite well-behaved, Jeanie didn’t give her too much of a hard time. “Alright then.Since you’re the person Yoyo hired, I’ll let you try it. If you can’t do the job, we can hire another person tohelp you.”

With that, Yvonne stayed beside Trevor and looked after him under the assumed name of YvonneGreens.

Having made the arrangements for it, Elise had Jeanie meet her alone outside the ward. She asked witha serious look on her face, “Mom, you said earlier that it was because of Faye that my brother got intothis state. On what basis did you say that?”

Upon hearing Elise’s words, Jeanie felt a twinge in her nose, and her eyes reddened.

At last, my Yoyo is willing to acknowledge Trevor as her brother, she thought.

“What’s wrong?” Elise didn’t realize she had just called Trevor as her brother in front of Jeanie. Eversince she acknowledged him as her brother, everything seemed to fall into place, as though that was theway things were supposed to be.

“Nothing.” Jeanie fought back the tears that sprang to her eyes. After collecting herself, she explained,“Trevor was supposed to keep me company at home these days, but he got wind that Faye was biddingfor a piece of land in Riverdale. If she succeeded in doing so, she’d gain greater support from the boardof directors than before, so Trevor drove to Riverdale overnight, planning to stop that woman by

getting his hands on that piece of land before she did. But who would’ve thought that he’d get into such aterrible car accident as soon as he left the city? Faye has to have

something to do with this!”

Then, she suddenly stopped and grabbed Elise’s hand nervously. “That woman’s a madwoman, Yoona.I’ll avenge your brother, so don’t get yourself involved in this. Now that your brother’s already in such astate, you mustn’t get in trouble as well.”

“Mom.” Elise took Jeanie’s hand with a determined look in her eyes. “The one who’s gonna be in troubleisn’t me, but the one who did this to Trevor. Please watch over him while I go to the AndersonResidence.”

“No, you can’t!” Jeanie grabbed Elise’s hand in a tight grip. “I can’t let you go there. Your dad’s beentaken in by her. How are you gonna fight against them alone? Just take this as my plea to you, Yoyo:stay here, and never go anywhere or do anything, okay?”

Elise knitted her fine eyebrows slightly. She replied in a helpless tone, “Do you think she’ll let all of us offif we do nothing?”

“I know she won’t…” Jeanie’s eyes suddenly shone with a determination to face death unflinchingly. “ButYoyo, you’re not supposed to be facing all this. Just give me a bit more time. I’ll take care of all this!”

Elise had a vague feeling that something was amiss. “What are you gonna do?”
