Chapter 624: Chapter 624: Seeking the Truth

"Cousin." Harry Williams called out to Hope Williams.

Hope Williams nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

Luna Williams and Ted Williams both turned their heads, seeing Hope emerge at the door. Their expressions looked anything but pleasant.

Inside the hospital room, a few doctors were still present, seemingly having just finished examining Jade Bell.

These doctors were specifically arranged by Hope to prevent Luna and Ted from meddling with Jade. Upon seeing Hope arrive, they instinctively stepped forward and addressed her, "Young Madam Lewis."

Hope nodded. "How is my grandmother?"

The doctor hesitated, glanced at the people in the room, and recalling Hope’s previous instructions, cautiously said, "May I speak to you privately?"

A flicker of panic flashed in Luna’s eyes. Ted was faster to react, saying, "Doctor, we’re all family. It’s better to discuss the Old Lady’s condition openly."

Luna promptly chimed in, "Exactly. We’re all family. There’s nothing Hope can hear that the rest of us can’t."

"Uh..." The doctor hesitated, looking at Hope.

Hope’s gaze landed on Jade, who lay silently on the hospital bed, eyes open but voiceless. From the moment Hope entered until now, Jade hadn’t said a word.

"It’s fine, speak."

They were all members of the Williams Family, and nothing could be concealed for long anyway.

Receiving Hope’s permission, the doctor spoke openly before everyone in the room, "Based on the Old Lady’s current condition, we preliminarily diagnose Alzheimer’s disease."

The implication was dementia!

Jade Bell had dementia?

The moment the doctor finished speaking, everyone in the room immediately raised their heads. Hope clearly saw the range of varied expressions on their faces.

Harry was shocked and saddened.

Ted was indifferent and cold.

Meanwhile, an immense glee flashed across Luna’s face, though she controlled her emotions quickly. Upon hearing the news, she cried even more dramatically, sniffing and asking, "Doctor, how could this happen? How could my grandmother end up like this?"

The doctor explained, "The primary cause is brain cell damage due to head trauma, and some factors might also stem from emotional distress."

Hope blinked, her brows furrowing as she stared at Jade Bell on the hospital bed.

At that moment, she noticed Jade’s eyes subtly shift their focus—to Luna.

Luna didn’t notice. She seemed immersed in her grief, continuing to ask, "What are the symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease? Why hasn’t my grandmother said anything upon waking up?"

When Luna first heard the news that Jade woke up, it had terrified her. She had rushed to the hospital ahead of Hope.

But upon arriving, she felt relieved. Jade seemed as if she’d become senile, voiceless, staring blankly with a dazed expression that added to her former pallor.

Luna curved her lips slightly. She genuinely hadn’t meant to harm Jade before; she truly felt attached to her grandmother. If not for her careless mishap, this wouldn’t have happened. But the deed was done, and she had been genuinely scared of Jade waking up and exposing her secrets.

Now that Jade had dementia and forgotten everything, it was the best possible outcome.

Even the heavens were helping her.

These thoughts raced through Luna’s mind, though her expression remained sorrowful as she gazed at the doctor.

The attending doctor continued, "Symptoms include memory loss, decline in cognitive ability, diminished recognition, and impaired emotional control."

Memory loss, decline in cognitive ability.

Perfect!

Luna felt even more at ease hearing this.

Hope took in every shift of emotion in Luna’s eyes.

"Can it be cured?" Hope asked the doctor.

The attending doctor adjusted his rimless glasses and shook his head, "Currently, there is no cure. Medication can only help manage the condition."

Even with her attempts to mask her excitement with tears, Luna couldn’t entirely suppress the joy on her face. With her back turned to the room, she cried in front of Jade Bell.

Jade’s eyes shifted again, watching as the sobbing Luna displayed hardly any true grief in her gaze.

Hope sighed, her heart aching even more as she observed these individuals in the room with their hidden agendas, and felt deeply for Jade Bell.

An octogenarian, beaten down by her own family—what a tragedy.

After detailing a few precautions, the doctors left.

Hope approached Jade’s bedside, bent over, and took her hand. Luna reacted with alarm, abruptly standing up and shoving Hope aside.

"You’re the one who hurt Grandma. Don’t touch her! If it wasn’t for you, Grandma wouldn’t be like this. How do you have the audacity to stand here, Hope?" Luna yelled furiously at Hope.

Hope calmly raised her eyes, a chilling sharpness evident as she said coldly, "Everyone here knows who the real culprit is. Why keep up the pretense?"

Luna’s pupils flickered in uncertainty, darting between Ted and Harry.

Harry’s lips tightened, the fury evident in his expression.

Ted stood with his arms crossed, his face unreadable and devoid of emotion.

Luna faltered momentarily before forcing herself to regain composure.

"Luna!"

"Ah!"

Jade Bell suddenly spoke, startling Luna into a terrified scream, her entire body recoiling as if she’d seen a ghost.

Jade moved slightly, raising her hand as she gestured to Luna, "Come here, Luna. Come to Grandma."

Terror clouded Luna’s face as she stared at Jade, whose words carried a strikingly normal tone, making Luna shudder.

"Luna? What’s the matter? Why aren’t you coming to Grandma?"

"Grandma, you..." Luna swallowed hard, her heart pounding with guilt.

Harry, unable to endure any longer, stepped forward. Looking at Jade Bell, he asked gravely, "Grandma, do you remember who did this to you?"

Upon hearing Harry bluntly pose the question, Luna’s face instantly changed.

Jade’s eyes shimmered as they slowly shifted their focus to Luna.
