Chapter 49
Danielle approached Caleb and treated him using the same method she had used on Alice. After a while, Caleb regained his consciousness too..
Caleb’s hair was well–maintained. He looked serious, clearly still rying to comprehend the situation.
As if noticing that his facial expression was too grim, Caleb forced himself to relax and smile. He asked, “Are you my granddaughter Danielle?”
He could tell at a glance that Danielle was a member of the Darling family. She looked just like them.
Danielle replied, “Yes, I’m Danielle.”
Caleb was very excited. Howard and Vivian had many sons. After many tries, they finally conceived a girl. Unfortunately, Danielle was kidnapped.
This had always been a scar in Caleb’s heart. He initially thought that he would never have the chance to see Danielle before he passed away.
Noticing that he was getting very emotional, Danielle patted Caleb’s back to calm him down.
“Danielle, I have wronged you. Because of my incompetence, some bad guy found the opportunity to kidnap you,” Caleb said with a trembling voice.
He held Danielle’s hand tightly. He was worried that Danielle would vanish again the moment he let go of her.
Danielle comforted Caleb, saying, “Grandpa, it’s all in the past. I’m doing well. You’ve just regained your consciousness. You shouldn’t get too emotional.”
When he was young, Caleb dominated the business world and eliminated countless rivals mercilessly. Yet now, he felt a lump in his throat after being comforted by Danielle.
He mumbled, “Nothing else matters as long as you’re back. Alice and I will treat you extra well from now on. We will make
up
for all the time we’ve lost.”
At the side, Alice added, “That’s right. We’ll definitely dote on you more in the future.”
Danielle was eager to find out the truth behind her kidnapping. Previously, she had assigned someone to investigate the case, but they hadn’t found any useful information. She figured she had to start investigating the people around her first. She wondered who had been lurking in the shadows and harming the Darling family all this time.
She was uncertain if the mastermind would make a move again now that Caleb and Alice were awake. She believed she had to speed up the investigation. She had a feeling that if she did not identify the mastermind as soon as possible, her family might be in danger.
Arthur stood at the side in a daze. He took a long time to process everything that had just happened. He knew of a person who had miraculous medical skills just like Danielle. It was the miracle healer.
However, the miracle healer only existed in rumors and legends. No one had seen them in person before.
Arthur asked, “Miss Darling, may I ask if you are the miracle healer?”

Danielle was at a loss of words at Arthur’s blunt question.

However, Danielle did not want to hide her identity from her family. They would find out sooner or later. She replied, “Yes, I
am.”
Shocked, Arthur exclaimed, “What? Miss Darling, are you really he miracle healer? The doctor who has performed countless miracles and saved many lives?”
Arthur was not the only one who was dumbstruck. The Darling family was also shocked.
They had been looking for the miracle healer to attend to Caleb and Alice, but to no avail. To their astonishment, Danielle was the miracle healer they had been searching for.
They now understood why Danielle was capable of waking up vegetables and curing Logan’s serious heart disease.
“Danielle, you’re really amazing!” Howard and Vivian said proudly.
Austin was also a doctor, but he couldn’t find a care to wake Caleb and Alice up. To his astonishment, Danielle seemingly effortlessly achieved what he couldn’t do. Austin was in awe of Danielle’s ability.
Meanwhile, Joseph had already guessed that Danielle was the miracle healer. It’s just that he had never gotten the chance to verify her identity. However, Joseph still had doubts.
Joseph asked, “Danielle, are you Quillon the hypnotist?”
He had seen Danielle’s hypnosis skills in the interrogation room last time. She had said nothing and had hypnotized someone with a snap of her fingers. He had always been curious about her ability.
Danielle thought, ‘Just how many of my aliases did everyone figure out in a few days?‘
Danielle affirmed Joseph’s guess.
At the side, Elliot’s eyes lit up. The hostages they rescued from the research lab could not remember anything after waking up. He did not know if they had lost their memories from the poison or if they had been hypnotized.
Elliot probed, “Danielle, can you do me a favor?”
Danielle asked, “What?”
Elliot looked at Danielle expectantly and explained, “The people we rescued don’t remember anything when they wake up. Can you go over and take a look at them?”
“Alright.” Danielle also wanted to check out their recovery progress.
Howard exclaimed, “Quillon the hypnotist? Danielle, you surprise us again and again.”
He had only heard of hypnotists before. This was his first time encountering one in person.
Vivian joined the conversation and said, “I’ve only heard of hypnotists before this. But Danielle, what you did to Caleb and Alice just now was indeed very magical.”
Howard belatedly realized that Danielle had performed hypnosis on Caleb and Alice just now. He got excited when he saw his parents regain consciousness and forgot about it.
Howard asked, “Danielle, why did Caleb and Alice require hypnosis to wake up?”
Chapter 49
Danielle explained, “Grandpa and Grandma suffered serious injuries in the car accident. However, by right, they wouldn’t have become vegetables. Someone came to the hospital and hypnotized them.”
Aside from Danielle’s brothers, who had known about this beforehand, everyone else present were shocked by this revelation.
“What? But this hospital belongs to our Darling Group. Who could have done this? Howard’s expression was serious.
Usually, there were nurses in the ward and bodyguards outside. The medical staff on this floor were all serving Caleb and Alice. Howard could not imagine how a stranger could have infiltrated the ward without being noticed.
Danielle calmly analyzed, “We will most likely not be able to identify this culprit right now. Moreover, the culprit had hypnotized Grandpa and Grandma right after they were admitted to the hospital.
“Since Grandpa and Grandma are awake now, let’s settle the discharge procedures today and take them home with us. We can take care of them.”
Danielle was afraid that her grandparents would be in danger in the hospital. The Treeside Villa would undoubtedly be safer.
A post quickly went viral online. The post read: [An accident occurred during the construction of the Charrington Group’s Hillside Resort, causing dozens of workers to be injured. Two of them are still in the intensive care unit.]
Along with the post was a video, showcasing a disheveled woman in her forties.
The woman pleaded before the camera, “I’m the wife of one of the injured workers. My husband was the sole breadwinner for my family. Now that he’s seriqusly injured and lying unconscious in the hospital, I demanded compensation from the Charrington Group. However, Mr. Charrington rejected my request.
“I have to feed my kids and my parents. How is my family supposed to make do without any compensation or source of income? My poor 80–year–old mother is sick and waiting for someone to support her medical costs.
“I heard Mr. Charrington goes around in suits worth millions of dollars. He surely knows how to enjoy himself. Yet he is harsh on the families of the injured workers.
“The Charrington Group is a black company. They treat ordinary people like us as lowlifes. Where should I go to seek justice? I feel doomed.”
Below the video, a bunch of netizens were seeking justice for this woman.
A netizen commented: [Isn’t the Charrington Group the largest company in the region? Their chairman is the richest man in the world. Why isn’t he compensating the victims?]
Another netizen stated: [In my opinion, the richer the person, the more selfish they are. They treat ordinary people like us as a cash grab, and they’ll dispose of us when they’re done with us.]
Yet another netizen tagged the Charrington Group’s official account in his comment. [Charrington Group, stop hiding and respond to this. Even if the victims recover, they might not be able to properly work in the future. This is serious. The victims deserve our sympathy. You can’t walk away irresponsibly.]
Someone lamented: [I used to be a fan of the Charrington Group’s products. I bought whatever they offered. Now I feel cheated. Why did I put my faith in a black company? Charrington Group, go bankrupt!]
A netizen with the username ChallengeMe commented: [The government authorities should investigate the Charrington

Group. How did the chairman become the richest man in the world? Their income sources might be questionable. God knows how many people were harmed over the years.)
Someone responded: [Challenge Me, be careful with your words heard that David Charrington, the big boss of the Charrington Group, is a powerful guy. He’s influential in both the business world and the underground world. Beware. He might kill you.]
ChallengeMe replied: [If anything happens to me, it’s the Charrington Group’s doing.J
A netizen agreed with ChallengeMe’s previous comment. [That’s right. We have the freedom of speech. If you asked me, everyone should hurry up and sell their Charrington Group’s shares. The company might close down any minute.]
