Chapter 502: Chapter 502
Hugo Quinn quickly called the doctor, who conducted a thorough examination on Marcus.
But the more the doctor examined him, the more his brows furrowed deeply.
"The young master’s body is peculiar; his temperature reads normal, and it seems like a regular cold, but how could a regular cold cause him to fall into a coma?"
Hugo was somewhat angry, seeing that even the doctor couldn’t find the cause of the illness, he pressed his lips tightly.
"Are you the doctor or am I?"
The doctor turned pale with fear, knowing that this man’s mood was bad, he hurriedly lowered his head respectfully.
"I’ll continue to investigate, nothing will happen."
Although he said this, in fact, the doctor had no confidence, as Marcus’s condition worsened that night.
He kept having a fever, but it wasn’t an ordinary cold.
Eleanor Hollis stayed beside the child all the time, feeling guilty when she saw Marcus’s flushed face, she reached out and touched his forehead.
"If you feel unwell, just sleep. Maybe sleeping will make it better."
The child hadn’t really slept that night; wasn’t he tired? ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novel{f}ire.net
Marcus’s eyes were full of confusion, as the fever didn’t subside, his mind was in a haze.
Even at this time, he didn’t forget to reassure the adults.
Eleanor’s eyes heated up, awkwardly averting her gaze.
The two stayed with the child at home for a week, and the inexplicable high fever finally subsided, but the doctor didn’t dare to be careless at all, carefully checking the body before saying that Marcus had truly recovered.
Eleanor also breathed a sigh of relief. To make it up to the child, she immediately took him to the amusement park.
Recently, Hugo Quinn had resolved the Dawson Family’s matter completely, leaving no room for sentiment. The Dawson Family’s hope to establish a foothold in Serenford was instantly shattered.
Now online, there was still a torrent of criticism against the Dawson’s company, and coupled with Damian Dawson’s fondness for causing trouble outside, everyone’s resistance towards this future heir had reached its peak.
Old Master Dawson originally hoped for Damian to stay quiet for a while, not to create more troubles for him. But just a week later, news broke out that Damian had forced a girl, and that girl faced the media with bruises, trying to cover up her injuries.
"Mr. Dawson wasn’t too extreme, please don’t blame him for this matter, it was all my fault."
Although the girl said these words, her eyes were full of fear, and her body was trembling.
It was clearly because she was afraid of the Dawson Family’s power, everyone immediately understood, and for a while, even more, people were criticizing Damian online.
Old Master Dawson nearly fainted from anger at these news and immediately summoned Damian.
"What did you do to that girl?"
He questioned, and Damian hadn’t known that the girl’s matter had been exposed. He just saw the news online for the first time, and his brows furrowed.
This time he was truly wronged; he didn’t do anything to that girl, and it was the girl who was proactive at first. Although he didn’t listen to the Old Master, after a stern warning from him, he stayed low for a while.
"I didn’t do anything to her; that night it was all her initiative, and I even gave her a large sum of money afterwards."
Old Master Dawson couldn’t believe a word from him, delivering a slap across his face.
"Damian, oh Damian! I worked so hard to erase your past wrongdoings, but now you’re just eager to stain your own reputation? How could you be so stupid? As the heir of the Dawson Family, aren’t there enough women available to you? Why must you mess around outside?!"
Damian endured the slap, feeling utterly resentful and infuriated.
Clearly, it was the woman who was proactive, so how did it become him forcing her from her words?
He had to find that woman and stop her from speaking further!
Damian thought so, but upon actually looking for that woman, he found the situation even worse.
He shouted fiercely, then grabbed the woman’s hair.
"What are you doing? Hurry and clarify to the media that it was your own initiative that night, I didn’t force you, and your injuries have nothing to do with me!"
Damian’s face was full of rage, wishing he could tear the woman apart right there.
A hint of a smile flashed in the woman’s eyes, her lips curled slightly, then her face turned deathly pale.
"Mr. Dawson, you... what do you intend to do?"
Damian was stunned, not yet reacting before he was surrounded by reporters.
The microphones in the reporters’ hands almost poked into his face, and everyone’s faces were unfriendly.
There were many second-generation wealthy individuals who bully around, but Damian was by far the most excessive and arrogant one. The girl hadn’t done anything wrong, yet he was still harassing her at this point.
Damian couldn’t explain properly, and seeing everyone act so unreasonably, blocking him, a flash of anger crossed his eyes.
"Move aside for me! Do you know who I am?"
Those words precisely announced his downfall.
Everyone’s eyes were filled with disdain, even with the thought of ridding the community of a menace.
This news segment was immediately seen by Old Master Dawson, who couldn’t bear the blow, and fainted on the spot, being rushed to the hospital.
Ashley Dawson also saw this news, the corners of her mouth curling up in mirth.
Damian is truly stupid. To think he would go and confront that girl at such a time, only to be caught red-handed by the media.
A flash of realization crossed her eyes, as she recalled Damian repeatedly claiming that the girl’s injuries had nothing to do with him. With a slight nod, she somewhat deciphered the intricacies within.
The girl was Hugo Quinn’s person, everything done merely for revenge against the Dawson Family.
Damian, being foolish, fell into their trap without hesitation.
The girl was in a vulnerable position, and his attempts to find her amounted to confessing to the charges laid against him.
A flash crossed her eyes, seeing Old Master hospitalized, the household was utterly unattended.
This time, Old Master was angered into sickness; it seemed he wouldn’t return for ten days to half a month.
Ashley slowly clenched her fist. This was her opportunity. She definitely did not wish to remain in the Dawson Family as a scapegoat!
She immediately contacted a pawnshop specializing in antiquities, quietly pawning off all of the Dawson Family’s valuable antiques.
Being smart, she didn’t use her own card. She used a card given by someone else, a valid bank card.
Even if Old Master wished to freeze all her bank cards, this card would remain unaffected.
The Dawson Family was full of antiques, and lately, no one had the time to mind her, so there was no one aware of everything she did.
In just a week, she had pawned off all the valuable antiques, her account suddenly swelling with billions; money sufficient for her to live overseas for a lifetime.
