Chapter 0357
Suzy immediately headed to Charlotte’s private villa, her mind solely focused on tracking her down as quickly as possible.
She remained completely unaware of everything happening with Dylan–unaware that Diana had tried to contact her, unaware of Hawk’s Interference, and oblivious to the fact that Dylan still hadn’t woken up,
Though his life had been saved, more than ten hours had passed with no signs of consciousness.
No matter how much Diana, Victor, or Graham called out to him, nothing worked.
Diana was crying so hard she was nearly out of tears. “What if my brother ends up in a coma?”
She’d read enough stories to know the trope: someone gravely injured falls into a coma and becomes bedridden indefinitely.
Diana wasn’t the only one afraid. Victor shared her fears, and even Graham, as Dylan’s attending physician, was deeply uncertain.
As the old adage goes, “Sometimes, only the one who hurt you can truly mend the pain.” For Dylan, the only cure was Suzy. But it was clear she no longer cared whether he lived or died.
After some discussion, the three decided to involve Grace.
They had initially agreed to keep the truth from her, given her age and fragility. But with the situation escalating, they realized Grace might be the only person capable of convincing Suzy to show some compassion.
However, what they didn’t expect was that when Grace called Suzy, she didn’t answer.
“My sister wouldn’t ignore Grandma’s call, no matter what!” Diana couldn’t accept the reality. “She’s always treated Grandma like her own. She’s probably just busy or doesn’t have her phone on her right now.”
Grace stared at the unanswered call, her weathered eyes filled with worry. “Or perhaps something has happened to her.”
Diana’s eyes widened in realization. “You’re right! Why didn’t I think of that?”
Diana turned to Victor. “That night when we went to find my sister, we never actually saw her in person. Everything was relayed through that guy, Hawk.
“Something about him doesn’t sit right with me. He doesn’t seem trustworthy at all. What if he deliberately kept her from contacting us? Maybe he’s trying to ensure she completely

cuts ties with my brother.”
The more Diana thought about it, the more plausible it seemed. “Even if my sister really doesn’t love my brother anymore, she would never just stand by and do nothing. Remember last time? The moment my brother got hurt, she immediately came to stay with Grandma.
“We’ve misunderstood her!”
With that realization, Diana rushed to Dylan’s bedside and grabbed his uninjured hand. ” Brother, you can hear us, can’t you? Sister hasn’t abandoned you. She probably doesn’t even know what happened to you. It’s all that guy, Hawk–he’s behind this!
“He wants to steal her from you, so you have to wake up. If you don’t, he really will take her away!”
“Exactly, Dylan!” Victor chimed in, adding his own provocation. “If you can’t live without Suzy, then stop lying here like a coward. Wake up and face that bastard Hawk head–on!”
The
group surrounded Dylan’s bed, each taking turns trying to goad him into waking up,
Charlotte’s Private Villa
Inside the villa, Suzy headed straight for the family portrait on the wall. She inspected it thoroughly, but no matter what she tried, she couldn’t figure out how to open the secret passage Mark had mentioned.
Feeling frustrated, Allen, who had come with her, frowned. “Do you think Mark was lying? We’ve searched the entire wall, not just the portrait, and there’s no sign of any mechanism.
