Chapter 394:
Just when Rupert was beginning to feel optimistic, his hope was dashed to the ground. His heart sank.
He pressed his thin lips together for a short while. Then he broke his silence. “What exactly happened twenty years ago p>
“Well, I am not sure.” Harley let out a sigh. “But whatever it was, it must have dealt him a huge blow. Many people tried to find him over the years, but none of them succeeded in doing so. No one even knows if he is still alive p>
Rupert’s face darkened and his dashing eyebrows furrowed.
He bent his head slightly as he looked at Bruce, who was still in a coma. His fists clenched subconsciously. Even if Chayce was at the end of the earth, he would find him.
Time was of the essence. He couldn’t just fold his arms and do nothing while his grandfather was in such a terrible state.
The feeling of helplessness was terrible.
Without further ado, Rupert brought out his phone to ask Finley to search for the missing doctor. Just then, the door was pushed open.
Jaxen walked in and asked with concern, “How is Bruce doing p>
“Not much has changed,” Rupert replied in a low tone. “He’s still in a coma p>
From the look on his face, Jaxen could tell that Rupert was very sad. So he walked over and comforted him. “Don’t worry too much. He is blessed. Just give him some time. He will wake up p>
“I know he will,” Rupert replied calmly.
“You have been with him for over a day now. I think that’s pretty exhausting, even for someone as strong as you. Let me take it from here. You need to have a rest p>
“That won’t be necessary. I want to stay with Grandpa.” Rupert shook his head.
“I know how you feel. But if you continue this way, then it’s very likely that you’ll break down. I don’t think your grandfather would want you to ignore your own health, would he? So you’ve got to rest. I’ll call you as soon as there is any development p>

“Thanks a great deal.” Rupert finally agreed.
Jaxen had been working for Bruce for decades and had a good relationship with him. Rupert was relieved, knowing full well that his grandfather was in safe hands.
He talked to the bodyguards standing by the door before finally exiting the ward.
Annabel was sitting in Rory’s car and staring out the window with mixed feelings.
She took a deep breath and looked down at the ring on her finger.
It was a gift from Rupert when he proposed to her.
Memories of the times they shared together suddenly overwhelmed her. Rupert had stood in front of her to block a knife, risked his life to save her, and proposed to her in a romantic way.
But why did he do so many things for her if he didn’t love her?
Was it really just because she reminded him of Candy?
Annabel rubbed the space between her eyebrows, hoping the thoughts would go away the same way they came.
At the moment, Bruce’s health was the most important thing to her.
