Chapter 294 The Facts Are Plain to See
Isaac had a powerful presence, and he usually commanded respect without even trying.
At this moment, when he got angry, his aura was fully unleashed, and everyone was intimidated by him.
The servants and bodyguards were so scared that their legs went weak, and they directly knelt on the ground. "Mr. Porter, please forgive us. We were always nearby, but Mr. Edmund Porter wanted to play with the kids and didn't let us get close, fearing we would scare the kids and affect their mood..."
Isaac roared, "Get to the point, don't waste my time with this nonsense!"
The servant was startled and quickly said, "Mr. Edmund Porter was playing hide and seek with the kids. When Mr. Edmund Porter was blindfolded and looking for the kids, that boy pushed Mr. Edmund Porter. Mr. Edmund Porter fell and hit his forehead on the corner of the table, causing a severe head injury and he passed out immediately."
Nora's heart tightened, and she instinctively looked down at Magnus in her arms.
She thought, 'Magnus pushed Edmund? How could that be?'
When the kids first played with Edmund, she repeatedly reminded them that Edmund was old and couldn't be tired or bumped. She told them to be careful.
Magnus and Soren had always been very well-behaved and cautious around Edmund, much more so than usual. Magnus was especially sensible. How could he intentionally push Edmund?
She didn't believe it.
Isaac said, "It might have been an accident. Let's take my grandfather to the hospital first and talk about it when he wakes up." He also didn't believe Magnus would intentionally push Edmund.
Although he didn't like the kids, he had spent enough time with them to understand Magnus's character, which was thoughtful but always well-behaved and kind. Even if Edmund was indeed pushed by Magnus, it was likely an accident.
Moreover, Edmund liked these two children so much, Magnus wouldn't have any reason to harm Edmund.
Nora felt slightly relieved hearing Isaac's words.
However, the servant, with red-rimmed eyes, said, "It wasn't an accident. He intentionally pushed Mr. Edmund Porter! He's so small. If it was an accident, Mr. Edmund Porter wouldn't have fallen!"
Other servants nodded. "We were worried about Mr. Edmund Porter having an accident, so we kept watching. We all saw it. He intentionally pushed Mr. Edmund Porter!"
"Yes, I saw it too!"
"He pushed hard and waited until Mr. Edmund Porter was in front of the table before pushing!"
"He even pushed Mr. Edmund Porter's face towards the table corner."
"I think he deliberately lured Mr. Edmund Porter to the table. Mr. Edmund Porter was cautious and had all sharp objects removed before playing hide and seek. It was clearly intentional."
The servants spoke one after another. They had been watching closely, so they saw everything clearly.
Nora's eyes darkened after hearing the servants' words.
Magnus couldn't have malicious intent!
They were all maliciously speculating about Magnus.
How could Magnus intentionally lure Edmund to a dangerous place and then push him?
Absolutely impossible!
She didn't believe her child could be so cruel.
Isaac's face was extremely grim, and he angrily shouted, "Enough! Don't maliciously speculate about a three-year-old child without evidence!"
The servants wanted to defend themselves.
But Isaac's dark glare made them immediately lower their heads, not daring to say another word.
At this moment, the ambulance arrived.
Edmund was quickly carried onto the ambulance.
Nora also took the kids and followed.
On the way, Isaac contacted Rhys, asking him to go to the hospital immediately.
By the time they arrived at the hospital, Rhys was already there.
Nora and Isaac waited anxiously in the hallway.
After more than two hours, Rhys found them.
"How is my grandfather?" Isaac stood up and asked in a deep voice.
Rhys sighed. "His fall was quite serious. There's a blood clot in his brain, pressing on his nerves, preventing him from waking up. At his age, he can't undergo surgery to remove the clot. We can only use external instruments to break up the clot and hope it clears naturally, but this isn't guaranteed to be 100% effective, especially given his slow metabolism at his age." He sighed again. "You should have been more careful. Mr. Edmund Porter is so old. How could you not watch him properly? Don't you know that people his age can't afford to get injured? Look at what happened now. Don't say I didn't warn you. If he doesn't recover well, he might never wake up again."
Isaac's face was extremely grim, and his fists clenched tightly.
Nora's heart sank to the bottom.
She thought, 'How could Edmund's condition be so serious? If Edmund never wakes up...'
The thought of this possibility caused her heart to ache, making it hard to breathe.
At this moment, Wesley hurried over.
"Mr. Porter, I brought the surveillance footage from the old house. Please take a look," He said as he opened the tablet and played a surveillance video.
Nora also leaned in to watch.
In the footage, Edmund was blindfolded, playing hide and seek with the kids.
The kids were cautiously hiding from him.
However, after a while, Magnus, whether intentionally or unintentionally, started moving towards the table. He made noises to attract Edmund.
When Edmund followed the sound, he suddenly dodged to the side and forcefully pushed Edmund.
Edmund lost his balance and fell. As he fell, his forehead hit the corner of the table. Blood gushed from his forehead, quickly staining half of his face.
After falling, Edmund groaned a few times before losing consciousness, lying motionless on the ground.
The surrounding servants screamed and quickly surrounded him.
The bodyguards rushed in, and the servants accused Magnus of being the culprit, so the bodyguards immediately grabbed Magnus.
Nora was stunned by that Edmund was indeed pushed by Magnus after watching the surveillance footage.
