Chapter 651 Buying a Coffin
Lloyd stared intently at the news on TV, his pupils dilating instantly.
He scrutinized the photo of Susan on the screen and realized something was off. Susan's complexion didn't look right. Thinking about how Finnegan had pretended to be blind before, full of tricks, Lloyd rubbed his head. "They're trying to fool me again."
"Sir" Anthony said from the side. "it must be a trap set by Finnegan to lure you out. Don't go."
Lloyd laughed, "The Abbott family is really cunning, thinking I'd believe them? Anthony, send someone to Yorkhaven to check it out. Keep an eye on the hospital and notify me immediately if anything happens."
"Sure thing, I'll get someone on it pronto." Anthony moved a few steps and continued, "Aria got the axe, and Tate got slapped with a three-year stretch. Boss, you still want to handle Tate..."
Lloyd raised his hand. "Not for now. No need to stir up more trouble. Settle accounts with Tate after this period."
"Understood." Anthony left.
Even though Moonlight Gate was wanted, with so many assassins skilled in disguise, it was very difficult for the police to capture them.
Anthony notified the Moonlight Gate assassins stationed in Yorkhaven to go to the hospital and find out what was going on with Susan.
In Yorkhaven.
In the hospital, Finnegan had already sent Jude and Celia away, leaving him alone in the hospital.
Susan had been in critical condition for several hours, and there was still no movement from Moonlight Gate.
With the ward door shut, Finnegan told Susan, who was lying in bed, "Hey Grandma Susan, you're good to get up and stretch your legs now."
Hearing Finnegan's voice, Susan sat up quickly and removed the oxygen mask. "I was suffocating. It feels like my bones were about to fall apart."
Finnegan laughed, "Grandma Susan, I'll peel an apple for you."
Susan sat cross-legged on the bed like a child. Finnegan peeled an apple, cut it into small pieces, and handed it to her.
"Finnegan, heard anything from Lloyd?" Susan asked casually, munching on the apple.
"No rush, Lloyd is cautious. It won't be that quick." Finnegan had already drawn the curtains and even had guards at the door.
Susan stretched her back and said. "Your parents were crying so miserably just now. Tell them not to come tomorrow. People might really think I'm dead."
"You'll definitely be healthy." Finnegan also took a bite of the apple. Outside, he had to pretend to be sad, but inside the ward, he could relax a bit.
Susan let out a long breath and said, "Finnegan, if Lloyd doesn't come, you should announce my death. Buy a coffin and be ready to hold a funeral. If we're going to act, we need to go all the way."
Finnegan was speechless at Susan's cooperation and determination.
"Grandma Susan, it's not necessary."
"Finnegan, listen to me," Susan said seriously. "I know Lloyd's temperament. He hates me. Only news of my death will make him come. Don't worry about buying a coffin. I'm at that age anyway."
"Grandma Susan..."
Before Finnegan could finish, Susan patted his hand and said, "When I really die, I won't be able to see how you all turn out."
Susan had seen through life. She actually wanted to hold a funeral while she was still alive and attend her own funeral. How novel!
"Let's not rush. Let's see what happens with Lloyd first," Finnegan said. "Give it a couple more days."
"Alright." Susan finished the apple in her hand. "Finnegan, peel me a banana.""Okay," Finnegan said. "But these are high-sugar fruits. You shouldn't eat too much. They can cause indigestion."
"Just one," Susan said like a child, holding up one finger.
