Bryson’s expression turned stern as he continued, “Makenna was taken to the police station but hasn’t said much.

She claims she was framed, saying she was there because she feared something might happen to Grandpa.

Bryson scoffed, “The surveillance camera on that floor was out.

The police haven’t found any footage from the scene, so they can’t charge Makenna yet.

Tyshawn is seeking bail for her.

I’ve managed to thwart him.

Hannah pulled out her phone and said, “I have photos.

The lock on the fire escape door was deliberately jammed, and there’s paint splattered on it, which I photographed.

I met Makenna last night.

She had a knife and tried to attack me, but I managed to defend myself and get her downstairs.

These pieces of evidence should keep her detained for a while.

Bryson was unaware that Makenna had attempted to attack Hannah.

Shocked by her revelation, he grimaced and said, “I was considering letting Makenna off.

Clearly, that would be a mistake.

“Ahem.

.

.

While they were talking, a cough echoed from a distant bed.

Bryson and Hannah exchanged a surprised glance.

The two of them quickly approached the bed.

“Grandpa!”

“Franco!”

As Franco opened his eyes, his gaze was vacant and unfocused as he slowly turned towards them.

“Bryson…”

Franco’s voice was weak, as if speaking took all his energy.

Hannah quickly reassured him, “You just woke up.

Try to stay calm.

We’re here with you.

The surgery went well.

Don’t worry.

Franco closed his eyes then looked at Bryson, seemingly eager to communicate.

Understanding the unspoken words, Bryson showed rare tenderness and took Franco’s hand.

“I know what you want to say.

Now’s not the time.

We’ll discuss it when you’re stronger.

Hearing this, Franco composed himself and nodded slowly yet decisively.

Exhausted by the effort, Franco soon fell asleep.

After some time, a bodyguard entered and said to them, “Mr.

Bryson Mitchell, Tyshawn is outside asking to see Mr.

Franco Mitchell.

Bryson’s eyes flashed with anger.

“How dare he show up here?”

Hannah gently pressed Bryson’s shoulder and shook her head, signaling caution.

“Now’s not the time for confrontation.

Let’s replace out what he wants first, then we can decide how to handle it.

Bryson took a deep breath, blinked, and nodded.

“Okay, let’s see him.

After the two of them went out, they saw Tyshawn waiting outside.
