Regal Guard of Dragon

Chapter 2 Accident

People around there were astonished. Did Maura Shawn have a fever to speak such nonsense? Did

she mean that if Finn Chen couldn’t go in, she wouldn’t go in as well?

“Maura Shawn! Do you want to betray the family for an outsider?” Hank Shawn looked furious. He

didn’t think Maura would say such words because of Finn. The Ceremony of Ancestor-Worship was

one of the most significant activities in Shawn’s Family. Once it was held, every member of the family

had to attend, which was the unshakable rule!

The descendants of Shawn’s Family would be regarded impious once they missed the ceremony.

If Maura didn’t go in the Ancestral Shrine, in terms of the master of Shawn’s Family, Scott Shawn’s

temper, she would be expelled from the family.

Therefore, the nature of this matter was definitely serious!

“Maura, go in. Your cousin is right. They are the ancestors of Shawn’s Family, not mine, so it’s

inappropriate for me to go in.” Finn said.

He knew that someone must give in between Maura and Hank, or both would be punished.

But Maura would be punished more severely. Finn didn’t want Maura to be expelled, so he had to stand

out and give in.

Even if it was humiliating, and he would be mocked more by the public, but Finn still willing to.

For Maura, he could give up all his dignity.

“Finn...” Maura sobbed. She knew the reason for Finn’s compromise. But the more Finn did such, the

more reluctant she was, and the more guilt she got.

“Well, I’m going to work. I’ll be back early in the evening.” Finn pretended to be at ease and then left

without looking back.

Though Finn was severely humiliated, now, his mood was quite calm, and even a little bit secretly

surprised, because the word Maura had said before, “he enters, I enter!”

It was the first time in three years that Maura stood on his side and firmly chose him in front of her

family.

For this word, Finn felt that all his grievances were deserved!

After work, Finn went home and began to cook.

Finn was good at cooking. When he was adopted by Grant Shawn three years ago, he actually gained

Grant’s acknowledgment with his excellent cooking skills.

In Grant’s word, all men doing well in cooking were good.

At that time, Maura had a good impression on Finn as well. With Grant’s help, he became the adopted

son-in-law of Shawn’s Family.

However, after their marriage, a lot of contradictions broke out gradually.

Grant was not taken seriously in Shawn’s Family so that his business was getting worse. Finn had no

talent in business, so he couldn’t help Grant but live with delivering food.

Life had been becoming harder and harder, so Finn’s mother-in-law, Leah had also complained about

Finn’s uselessness and thought he didn’t deserve Maura.

If Finn didn’t appear, for the sake of Maura’s pretty appearance, she must have to marry into a

reputable family, so that Leah would have to live well.

Finn couldn’t refute this. He was an illegitimate son, with little money and poor educational background,

definitely inferior to Maura, who was indeed a beauty graduating from a prestigious university and

keeping the image of the goddess on campus for the whole four years.

The only thing he could give Maura was his sincerity.

But in this world, sincerity was always the most worthless thing.

Putting the prepared food on the table, Finn wondered. It was later when Grand and Leah came

usually, but why did they so slow today?

The telephone rang. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

“Finn, Dad...Dad was hit by a car...”

Finn’s face changed color. It was Maura’s voice, but the message it sent was frightening.

Did she say that Grant had a car accident?

“Maura, don’t worry. I’m coming.” Finn hung up the phone and then quickly went to the hospital.

When he arrived, Finn saw Maura weeping on a bench.

Leah was stamping around with anxiety.

“Maura, what’s going on?” Finn trotted to Maura and asked anxiously.

Slap!

Before Maura opened her mouth, Leah came up and gave a slap in Finn’s face.

It was quite painful.

“How dare you to ask what’s going on?” Leah growled. “You fool, where were you this afternoon? Why

didn’t you pick up Grant?”

Finn was stunned. Usually, Finn would be the driver for Grant when Grant was off work. Grant’s leg

was injured before, so it wasn’t flexible for driving.

But today, Grant had gone to the Ancestral Shrine and hadn’t called Finn after that.

Finn thought Grant wouldn’t come back today, so he forgot to pick up.

“Mom, I’m sorry.” Finn apologized. He was accountable for Grant’s accident.

“Is it use to apologize? You fool, you have done nothing good since you came to our family all these

three years!” Leah was emotionally unstable. She cried. “If Grant has any problem, you must

immediately divorce my daughter and get out of Shawn’s Family.

Leah’s voice was sharp, which attracted many people to watch.

But now Finn didn’t have time to consider his face. Grant was not only his father-in-law but also his

lifesaver, so he couldn’t accept Grant’s death.

“Who’s the family member of the patient?” A doctor in the white uniform came over.

“I am.” Leah and Maura rushed to him.

“The patient is now suffering from massive internal hemorrhage, which is severely serious and requires

immediate surgery.” The middle-aged Doctor said seriously.

Hearing this, Leah almost fainted, and Maura’s face was also pale.

“Doctor, please arrange the operation as soon as possible. We can accept it at any cost.” Finn said in a

deep voice.

“Fine, sign first, and then pay for the operation.” The Doctor took out a disclaimer. Finn signed his

name quickly.

But when he saw the cost on the list, his pupil suddenly tightened.

Five million!

An astronomical number!

It was just a surgical operation. Why did it cost five million?

Finn felt something wrong. With Grant’s economic situation, not to mention five million yuan, even

500000 was hard for him.

Could it be the wrong print? Finn came to the payment room with wishful thinking.

But then, the toll collector told him that there was nothing wrong.

It was five million!

Finn was a delivery man with a salary of about six thousand yuan a month, so how could he pay five

million?

Grant’s condition was serious, so it was too late to transfer to another hospital.

Where could he get five million?

How about asking someone to borrow it? But who would lend such a large amount of money to him?

Finn felt irritable. There had never been such a moment for him to find that money was so useful.

“Young master...” At this time, a familiar voice appeared behind him.

Finn turned around. It was Jones Chen who smiled at him.

In a flash, Finn knew it.

“It was you!” Finn furiously clenched his fist. Now, he would be an idiot if he still hadn’t realized this.

A sudden car accident, the astronomical number of the operation cost...

Every step was carefully planned!

The purpose was just to force him back to Chen’s Family!

Jones shook his head and said with a smile. “Young master, what are you talking about? I don’t

understand...”

“Bang!”

Jones was still speaking, but Finn suddenly hit Jones’s nose with his fist, blood running out.
