Chapter 584: Visit Nora

Janet had no choice but to rush to Seacisco with Ethan. While she was worried about Laney. Nora’shealth was more important. On the plane back to Seacisco, Janet pondered over the situation.

“At your grandmother’s birthday party last year, she looked radiant and energetic. How could her healthhave declined so quickly?”

As Janet thought about the warm old lady, she couldn’t help but feel sorry for her. Although they hadn’ttalked often, she could tell that Nora was the most sensible Lester. Ethan loosened his tie and leanedback in his seat. He held Janet’s hand and closed his eyes wearily.

“She’s getting old. It’s normal for old people to get sick. Besides, the Lester family has been facing a lotof problems recently, which couldn’t have been good for her health.” Janet nodded. Leaning against hisshoulder, her eyelids gradually grew heavy. She had been so busy looking after the drunk Laney throughthe night that she didn’t get to sleep much.

Hearing the sound of her steadied breathing, Ethan opened his eyes and looked out the window.

Recently, the business world in Seacisco had gone into turmoil because Ethan had been openlyattacking the Lester Group’s businesses. Joining hands with the Whites had doubled the strength of theLarson Group. Not even Patrick’s, Seth’s, and Ritchie’s combined strength could fight against them.

Moreover, the news that Elissa was a cold-blooded murderer had spread like wildfire, which haddamaged the reputation of the Lester family. It didn’t take long before the share price of their company toplummet. Ethan was only worried about how he’d explain all this to Nora.

In the Lester family home, after waiting for a long time, Patrick finally heard the sound of a car pulling toa stop outside. Soon, Ethan strode inside the house hand-in-hand with Janet. Patrick stood up and wentstraight to the stairs, gesturing at them to follow.

“Your Grandma has been waiting for you for a long time.” Ethan followed Patrick up the stairs. When theywere about to reach Nora’s room, Patrick suddenly stopped and turned to warn his son seriously.

“Don’t say anything that you shouldn’t say in front of her. Your Grandma’s health has been rapidlydeclining. We haven’t even told her what you’ve been doing to us.” . Ever since Ethan openly declaredwar on Patrick, Patrick completely resented him. If Nora hadn’t asked specifically for Ethan to come backand see her, Patrick wouldn’t have even called Ethan.

Ethan had nothing to say to Patrick, so he simply nodded. His attitude only served to make Patrick evenangrier. He had to take a deep breath to calm down. Finally, he put on a fake smile and opened thedoor.

“Mom, look who’s here! It’s Ethan!” Nora was lying in bed, her face as pale as a ghost. Several nurseswere standing by the bed. Her eyes had been closed, but when she heard that Ethan had come back,she slowly peeled them open and raised her hand at him with a smile.

“Ethan, you are home.” Ethan approached her and held her hand gently.

“Grandma, I heard that you wanted to see me.” Nora smiled. However, she was so weak that she fellasleep after exchanging a few words with Ethan. Upon seeing this, a lump formed in Janet’s throat.Although none of them said it out loud, they all knew that it would be unlikely for Nora to make a fullrecovery this time.

After Nora had fallen asleep, Ethan and Janet turned to leave. When they reached the stairway, Ritchiehappened to come home drunk. He had just gone upstairs and leaned on the railing to support himself.When the three of them passed by each other, Ritchie suddenly sneered and cursed, “You damnedbastard!”

Ethan looked at him coldly. The alcohol gave Ritchie unprecedented courage. He flew into a rage andgrabbed Ethan by the collar. “Don’t you dare look at me! You shameless bastard! How dare you comeback!”.
