Meanwhile, in the hospital, Carly and Marilyn rushed to Zayn when they saw him coming out of theward. "How is he, Zayn?" they asked anxiously.

"Dad has fallen asleep. The doctor who did a check-up on him mentioned that he is recovering well, sodon't worry about him," Zayn answered.

Hearing that, Marilyn sighed as she sat down on a chair next to them. "I know that you are trying tocomfort me, but I know his condition well. He spends less time conscious, and he's asleep most of thetime. How could his condition be better?"

"Mom, the doctor said that it will take time for him to recover. You should go home and get some restsince you've spent so many days in the hospital," suggested Zayn while squatting in front of Marilyn.

"I'm fine. However, you've been back for a while now, yet you've been in the hospital for so many days.You haven't stepped foot at home, so you need to rest more than I do."

"I'm fine. There's still some work that I need to take care of in the company..."

"Zayn," Carly suddenly uttered. "You should listen to Mom and go home to get some rest. Our family isalready in such a situation, and we wouldn't know what to do if you collapse too."

Upon hearing that, Zayn pursed his lips and slowly got up. "Alright, I'll go home and return later in theevening."

As he was about to leave, Marilyn suddenly grabbed his hand. Her expression was solemn comparedto earlier on. "Zayn, there's something that I need to tell you about."

Seeing that, Carly's expression turned grave, and she stretched her hand out to tug Marilyn's blouse."Mom…"

"There's no point hiding it from him at a time like this. Moreover, how are you planning to explain it tohim when he sees her with his own eyes once he gets home?" Marilyn explained.

Carly's face instantly turned pale. She stammered as she opened her mouth, but she couldn't say athing.

"What happened?" Zayn furrowed his brows and asked.

"Your sister did something really silly. She got someone to push Aidan's ex-wife into the water. Itcaused a commotion back then, but she was fine after she got out of the water," Marilyn whispered.

"I know about this," replied Zayn as he pursed his lips. However, it wasn't as simple as that.

"Your sister went to apologize to her after that. We thought that we could put the incident behind us, butwho'd have thought this incident was used to get a hold over the Barnett Family?! Because of this, yoursister has been suffering from insomnia and drastic weight loss."

"No matter what, I'll bear the consequences of my actions. However… As you can see, Dad is currentlyin such an unstable condition. The doctor said that we shouldn't provoke him. Moreover, the BarnettFamily has become vulnerable, and a lot of people have set their sights on us. In other words, they're

hoping to get a hold of us. If this news gets out, the Barnett Family will be done for!"

"Who has been threatening you?" Zayn asked.

"It's… It's…"

Seeing that she was stammering, Marilyn revealed, "It's Georgina."

"I watched that child grow up. Yes, Carly made a mistake, but she kept holding that information againstus and threatened us with it. Carly and I are just worried that your father might not be able to take itwhen he replaces out about the incident. That's why we didn't dare to tell him about it and let her stay atthe Barnett Residence." Marilyn sighed.

"Zayn, you might not be aware of what has happened within the Crossley Family recently, she…"

"I'm aware of it," he responded.

He was concerned that Leanna's gala might be affected, so he had been keeping an eye on news thatwas happening within the country even though he was at Swiysal. At times, although he might only replaceout about things later on or without too many details, he couldn't have been unaware of the majorincident that happened to the Crossley Family.

At that moment, Carly's legs suddenly gave way as she stumbled against the chair. As she covered herface with her hand, she said in a quavering voice, "I don't know what to do. Aidan's men are looking forher, and if he replaces out that the Barnett Family has been hiding Georgina, he will not let us off the hook.The thing is, I can't tell dad about this either…"

Hearing that, Zayn squatted before her as he pursed his lips and said after a brief pause, "Carly, youare part of the Barnett Family, and we will stand by you no matter what."

"What about dad…"

"I'll get someone to watch over him, and I will also remind the doctors and nurses to never let any newsget to him."

"Does it mean that you're ready to hand Georgina over to Aidan? Have you thought of theconsequences? The Barnett Family might be done for if we do so."

"The Barnett Family is now an empty shell. If it wasn't for the sacrifice that Leanna made and herdiscussion with the Pearson Family, the Barnett Family wouldn't have been able to hold up until now,"Zayn responded impassively.

Marilyn was speechless after hearing that. After the marriage with the Pearson Family was called off,they initially thought that it would all be over for the Barnett Family. However, they were surprised toreplace out that the projects they had previously negotiated weren't against the contract. It was alsobecause of these projects that the Barnett Group was able to survive until now.

"We are indebted to Leanna. We should make up to her whenever we can." Both Marilyn and Carlywere quiet after hearing that.

"Is Georgina still at the Barnett Residence?" Zayn asked after a short pause.

"She is staying in the backyard. She was worried that someone might discover her, so she's beenasking us to send her things over. However, after Dad was hospitalized, I arranged a maid and

reminded her repeatedly not to reveal to anyone that Georgina is staying at our house."

"Got it," Zayn answered.

When she saw him standing up, Carly suddenly grabbed his shirt and asked, "Zayn, what are youplanning to do? Are you planning to send her over to Aidan directly? If we make a commotion, I'mafraid…"

"Let me handle it. I'll make sure to take care of things properly."

Hearing that, Carly slowly retracted her hand. After Zayn left the hospital, he dialed Aidan's number assoon as he got into the car.

Just as the call went through, Aidan said calmly, "Mr. Barnett, do you have a business to discuss withme upon returning to the country?"

"I have something to speak to you about," Zayn replied.

"I don't think there's anything to discuss between us."

"In that case, I'll have to look for Leanna."

Aidan was speechless upon hearing that and replied as he licked his mouth, "What is it?"

"I know where Georgina is," Zayn uttered.

"Where?" Aidan's tone had become cold.

"My house."

Upon hearing that, Aidan chuckled as he knew the reason why the Barnett Family was helpingGeorgina to hide. He then lightly tapped the table with his finger and said coldly, "Are you turningagainst your family?"

"My dad had fallen sick, so both my mother and sister are concerned about his condition. They don'twant the whole thing to escalate, and they were even threatened by Georgina. However, I guaranteeyou that I will personally send Georgina over by today."

"Alright," answered Aidan, his gaze darkening.

After the call ended, Zayn put his phone down and drove toward the Barnett Residence.
