Chapter 261: Chapter 261: The Young Miss of the Lane Family

The family doctor spoke with a grave expression, "The old master has collapsed from acute distress, caused by excessive emotional fluctuations, which seems to have triggered complications. I suggest he be sent to the hospital for treatment immediately."

Justin Lane’s face darkened even more, and not a single servant dared to breathe loudly. Following the butler’s instructions, they called the emergency center.

He stormed down the stairs, yanked Jeanette Lane up from the sofa, and demanded sternly, "Don’t you know Dad’s in poor health? Your mere presence has turned this house into a pit of chaos. What right do you have to set foot in the Lane Family home ever again?"

In Jeanette’s memory, her elder brother had always been the epitome of gentleness and elegance.

It seemed he had never lost his temper like this before.

Even when speaking to her, he would always be soft-spoken, sometimes even coaxing.

She had never seen her brother so livid, his face consumed by rage.

"Big brother, please don’t... I’m scared," Jeanette looked at Justin Lane with a face full of fear.

Justin let out a cold laugh and violently flung Jeanette aside.

In fact, he had kept tabs on the Summers Family over the years.

Even though Old Master Lane had issued a strict order, stating that from that day forward they were to no longer care about Jeanette’s well-being, he still couldn’t stop worrying about his sister.

He had even been depositing tens of millions into her account every year.

But what he didn’t expect was that, after more than twenty years, Jeanette had not changed at all.

She had not only given up on the father and brother who had loved her for so many years for a scoundrel, but now she was also ready to bow her head to her family for a man who betrayed her.

As he looked at Jeanette, he felt frustrated at her inability to grow, remembering how bold and unrestrained she used to be. Now, she no longer bore any semblance to her former self.

"Scared? So you do know fear. I can tell you with absolute certainty that I will not help you, nor will I help the Summers Family overcome their difficulties."

"Big brother, I’m truly out of options, please..." Jeanette dropped her pride once again and knelt in front of Justin Lane.

Justin’s perception of her thick-skinned audacity was renewed, and he mocked coldly, "I told you more than twenty years ago, once you step out of this house, you sever all ties with the family. Whatever happens to you has nothing to do with us. So what face do you have now to come beg us?"

"I really realize my mistake..." Tears streaked down Jeanette Lane’s face as she wiped them away, recounting the hardships she faced over the years.

But Justin Lane didn’t want to hear a single word.

"Get out, the Lane Family does not welcome you," he rebuked coldly.

Stung by his icy gaze, Jeanette left the Lane Family home, disheveled and dejected.

Watching her retreating figure, Justin Lane took a deep breath and then turned to the silent, head-bowed servants beside him.

"Don’t just let any riff-raff into the house, do you understand what place this is?"

The servants nodded hastily.

When Justin Lane arrived at the hospital, the doctor recounted the severity of Old Master Lane’s condition with a very serious face.

"The old master’s condition is quite severe and requires an immediate surgery arrangement. However, the surgery is quite risky, and a decision needs to be made quickly," the doctors said.

Justin’s heart sank, his vision turned black for a moment, and his body swayed. He steadied himself by leaning against a wall with his arm.

An eerie silence pervaded the hospital corridor.

Everyone was holding their breath, staring straight at Justin Lane, waiting for his answer.

"Do it. Bring in the best doctors and specialists, spare no expense, just ensure my father recovers well."

After a long silence, Justin Lane finally spoke in a cold tone.

...

The following afternoon.

Serena Summers and Lucas Shaw flew to the Imperial Capital.

The pair hurried to the Lane residence, only to be stopped outside by a servant.

"The old master and the young master are not at home, please leave," the servant said.

Despite noticing the exceptional demeanors of Serena and Lucas that were far from ordinary, the servant had orders from the young master that no one was allowed in while he was away.

"I am Old Master Lane’s granddaughter; I’ve come specifically to see him," Serena explained patiently.

Granddaughter?

The servant looked at Serena Summers with suspicion, finding that her features did indeed resemble Jeanette Lane, who had visited just the day before.

But the girl before her was even more stunning.

There was an indescribable charm about her that made it impossible to look away once you’d seen her.

Even as a woman, she felt somewhat enamored by her.

But no matter how touched she was, she couldn’t violate her principles.

"Do you have any proof of your identity?" There are so many swindlers these days.

And there’s no shortage of impoverished relatives coming to seek fortune.

Even though Serena didn’t look like that sort of person, they had to be cautious.

Serena helplessly touched her forehead and hurriedly took out her phone to call her uncle.

Julian Lane had some unfinished business in S city and wouldn’t be able to return until tomorrow, so Serena and Lucas Shaw came in advance.

Soon, the call was answered.

"Serena? Have you gotten off the plane?" From the phone came Julian Lane’s clear voice.

The servant was startled; it was indeed the voice of their Second Young Master.

"Uncle, I’m already at the Lane house, didn’t you tell the family I was coming before?"

Julian Lane was silent for a moment, then spoke: "Turn on the speakerphone so I can talk to them."

Serena did so immediately.

Julian Lane explained Serena’s identity once more, then asked, "Didn’t I call Big Brother before and mention about this? What’s going on with you people? How dare you stop the Young Miss!"

The servant was frightened by his words and immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

"Second Young Master, I took a few days off to go home recently and had no idea about this situation. I am truly sorry..."

Julian Lane let out a sigh and warned, "If this happens again, pack your things and leave."

After hanging up the phone, the servant promptly ushered Serena and Lucas Shaw into the house.

While leading them inside, the servant explained: "Young Miss, Young Sir, I am really sorry, Miss... oh no, Jeanette Lane came yesterday and gave Old Master Lane such a fright that he fell ill. Therefore, Big Brother has ordered that no unidentified persons should be let in."

"My grandfather is sick? Which hospital is he at?"

"The best hospital in Imperial Capital, of course. It’s the private hospital under the Lane Group. Big Brother went there yesterday and hasn’t returned yet."

Serena paused in her steps and turned to look at Lucas Shaw.

Lucas immediately understood what was on her mind, "You want to visit the hospital?"

"Yes, I want to see my grandfather."

Serena had never met her grandfather; she had only heard about him from her uncle.

Before, her uncle had mentioned Old Master Lane only had some old ailments, nothing serious, but it seems this time Jeanette Lane had really upset him.

She turned to the servant and said, "We’ll leave our luggage here, we need to go to the hospital now. Also, could you prepare a car for us?"

The servant immediately nodded and headed toward the garage.

Oddly enough, although Serena was only twenty years old, the things she said somehow made people feel compelled to obey.

She went to the garage and took out a car that was commonly used in the household.

Of course, the heritage cars collected by the two young masters were not something these servants dared to touch.

Serena and Lucas were not picky; they got into the car, gave the servant a few casual instructions, and left.

On the way to the hospital, Serena’s phone suddenly rang.

She took out her phone and saw that it was a call from Dean Carter.

"Hello? Dean."

"Serena, I heard you’ve arrived in Imperial Capital? Great timing, I’m about to perform a surgery at the hospital and need an assistant. Your arrival is just perfect."
