After being scolded, George quietly stepped back and stopped talking.
By midnight, Stephen almost could not feel his legs anymore while George sat on the stone bench and fell asleep, resting his head on a stone table.
At 2 a.m., Stephen was tired and sleepy. His body swayed slightly in the cold wind. Although the area outside the mansion was lit, he somehow felt a sense of loneliness, coldness, and fear.
Where was George?
He looked around, trying to find someone to accompany him, but he saw George deep in
slumber when he turned around.
Stephen was speechless. For a moment, he did not know what to say.
He stood there, tired and struggling, only to make Ethan help them once. And yet, George had fallen asleep!
He was sleepy too!
But he could not rest now. This matter could affect his future.
At 6 a.m., Stephen had stood for the entire night. His body was stiff as if it had turned to stone. He could not feel his legs.
Besides, his body felt unbearably heavy, as if a mountain was pressing down on him. Just standing there took all his strength.
George woke up. Upon opening his eyes, he saw Stephen still standing there with a pale face, on the verge of collapse, like a candle melting away.
“Huh?” He was shocked and quickly stepped forward. “You stood here for a night?”
Stephen was barely conscious and nodded at him.
“Are you out of your mind? Do you want to die? Stop standing and get some rest.‘
Stephen shook his head. Rather than his exhaustion, he was more afraid of death. He did
not dare to rest before Lucas was saved.
Seeing that he could not persuade Stephen, George looked up at the second floor and shouted, “Ethan, come out quickly. Stephen has stood here for the whole night! Even if you have a grudge, you should set it aside first and help him!”
There was still no response.
George could only take out his phone and call Simon. Stephen refused to listen to him, and Ethan was nowhere to be seen. Thus, he could only ask Simon for help.

The call was connected quickly. At this moment, Simon was also busy, having already learned that Lucas was in critical condition and Dr. Rodman refused to help.
He was about to ask around if anyone was able to convince Dr. Rodman when he saw George’s call. It was a video call.
Simon accepted it and quickly asked, “What’s up so early in the morning?”
“Talk some sense into your son. He has been standing in front of Ethan’s door all night to get his help.”
The camera turned, and Simon saw Stephen, who was standing in front of the door with a pale face, and his body swaying.
“What!?” Simon was shocked. His son actually stood outside Ethan’s house all night?
“Where’s Ethan?”
“I don’t know. He might still be sleeping!”
Simon was enraged. His precious son had stood outside the door waiting, but Ethan was comfortably sleeping!
He glanced at the meeting room, where everyone was present. It was a great chance to praise his son and criticize Ethan!
“Since everyone is here today, let me show you how much effort Stephen has put in for Celestial City, and how despicable Ethan is!”
He connected his phone to the big screen, wanting to let everyone see Stephen’s dedication and Ethan’s cold–bloodedness.
At this moment, the door slowly creaked open. Ethan appeared behind the door.
Finally seeing him, Stephen trembled and suddenly shot wide awake. He subconsciously walked to Ethan.
However, he had stood for a night and lost all feelings in his legs. He wanted to move forward, but his legs would not obey, and he fell to his knees.
Thud!
Stephen knelt before Ethan.
Immediately, the air went still. Stephen widened his eyes, his mind going blank. Why did he kneel down?
And of all people, why was it to Ethan?
George was stunned, completely forgetting that his phone was capturing the scene.
In the federal government, as the live video was connected to the big screen, everyone saw Stephen suddenly kneeling to Ethan.
Their eyes widened, and Simon was dumbfounded too.
