Chapter 185
The room was silent, thick with anticipation as everyone's gaze still locked on Ethan. The disbelief was palpable. Could it really be him? Could Ethan have somehow known the godly investor? It seemed impossible, yet his earlier words echoed in their minds.
[ I've settled it.]
' What did he mean by that?'
One of the York sons crossed his arms, a smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth.
"You're not seriously telling us this was you, are you?"
he asked, his voice dripping with skepticism.
However Ethan stood there, calm and unreadable, his hands in his pockets. He looked like he was about to speak when the door creaked open.
Immediately all heads turned, and in walked Mr. Davis, his sharp suit and commanding presence instantly drawing attention.
"Ah, Mr. Davis,"
one of the family members said, half in relief and half in confusion. "What brings you here?"
However Mr. Davis smiled faintly and stepped forward, his eyes scanning the room until they landed on Ethan. He was still surprised that he told him to mention his name, and it Unusual.
He gazed at Ethan again looking for a sign, but his face remained calm.
He gave a small nod before addressing the group.
"I thought it was time to clear up a few things,"
he began, his tone steady and authoritative.
Upon hearing what Davis just said The room seemed to hold its breath as he continued pointing at Ethan respectfully.
"Ethan here made the call," Mr. Davis said.
"He ensured that the York that was brought here was transferred to the best room in the hospital, under the care of the finest doctors. That was his doing."
At that moment a murmur rippled through the room, disbelief and surprise etched on every face.
"He what?"
one of them whispered, their earlier doubt now replaced with shock.
Mr. Davis raised a hand, quieting the room.
"There's no need for any of you to worry now," he added with a reassuring smile.
"Everything will be taken care of, that was what Mr Ethan wanted."
His words hung in the air, leaving the family stunned and speechless. The weight of what had just been revealed settled heavily on their shoulders, but no one dared to look at Ethan. Instead, they stood frozen, unsure of what to say or how to react.
The silence in the room lingered, heavy and uncomfortable. Finally, Serenity Uncle at the center of the group cleared his throat, breaking the tension. His gaze landed on Ethan, reluctant but firm.
He doesn't want it to look as if he didn't believe earlier, but he couldn't keep calm,the news about the Godly investor Interest in their family business is the best news ever.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"Ethan," she said softly, catching his attention. He paused, his expression calm but curious.
"I just..." She hesitated, searching for the right words.
"I wanted to thank you—for everything you've done for my family, I mean, My father, and... just everything."
Ethan didn't respond immediately, and the silence pushed her to continue. "But, I need to ask," she said, her voice quieter now. "Did you have anything to do with the godly investor?"
Her words hung in the air, and her eyes searched Ethan's face, hoping for an answer that might make everything clear.
Ethan met Serenity's questioning gaze, his expression calm and unbothered.
"No,"
he said simply, his tone leaving no room for doubt. "I had nothing to do with it."
Serenity blinked, caught off guard by the bluntness of his response. She opened her mouth to say something, but Ethan's phone buzzed in his pocket, drawing his attention. He pulled it out, glanced at the screen, and sighed.
"It's the bank," he explained, slipping the phone back into his pocket.
"They need me to come verify my account."
Serenity nodded, through her eyes lingered on him as he turned to leave.
"Ethan," she called after him, her voice softer this time.
"Thanks. For everything."
Ethan paused for a moment, then gave her a brief nod before heading toward the hospital exit.
As he pushed through the glass doors into the crisp afternoon air, he spotted a familiar figure lingering near the entrance.
Julian's face lit up the moment she saw him, her steps quickening as she hurried over, her smile wide and eager.
"Ethan!" she called, her tone bright and almost rehearsed. She stopped just in front of him, adjusting her uniform.
"I was hoping to catch you. I was wondering if you'd like to grab a coffee—or dinner. My treat."
Ethan's gaze was steady, unimpressed by her sudden enthusiasm.
"Julian," he said evenly, his tone carrying a hint of curiosity,
"What about Annabelle?"
Ethan gazes around.
" I have not seen her today, did she not come to work?"
The question made her freeze, her smile faltering for the briefest moment before she recovered.
"Oh, her?" Julian shrugged, feigning nonchalance.
"She quit."
