Chapter 194 The Wife Behaves Strangely Around Us

• Mr. Riddle Sr., who had been lying on the bed, slowly opened his eyes and saw the anxious Damien by his side. He stretched his hand out and patted the other's hand to comfort him. After that, his gaze trailed away, seemingly looking for something. He then saw Daniel standing behind Mr. Riddle. Sr., with the ventilation tubes on his face, let out a faint smile. He waved at Daniel as if trying to win this silent son over. Daniel, taken aback, walked over with some hesitation.
• Mr. Riddle Sr. had never liked him much. He thought that his father would have preferred to see Damien first, so he did not rush forward. When Damien saw Mr. Riddle Sr. grasping Daniel’s hand with a look of relief in his eyes, an imperceptible cold glint appeared in his eyes. ‘This was a mistake in the choice I made. Otherwise, Daniel would not have gotten this advantage!’ As he thought of this, Damien seemingly stared daggers at Daniel. Mr. Riddle Sr. looked at Daniel, the son he had somewhat neglected all along.
• He wanted to say something but only belatedly realized that the ventilation tubes were inserted into both his mouth and nose, making him unable to utter a single word. He was unhappy with having those tubes stuck into him and wanted to pull them off. Nicole returned at this very moment as she held a small white pill in her hand. She placed the cup of water and pill by the side, as she said, under the curious gaze of the three present. “This is the medicine prescribed by the doctor.” After that, she deftly took off the oxygen mask and tubing from Mr. Riddle Sr. and handed him the medicine.
