Chapter 349 Ernest Wakes Up!
In the afternoon at a hospital in Houston, Mark's hands trembled as he draped Kenneth's lifeless body with a white sheet. His voice was hoarse as he instructed, "Take him away."
Several medical staff stepped forward and pushed the gurney away.
Mark watched with profound sorrow as the gurney disappeared from view.
Just three hours ago, he received a call saying Kenneth had been involved in a major car accident and died on the spot.
In an instant, his mind went blank, and he almost fainted.
He was practically supported by his subordinates to the hospital.
When he saw his son's almost unrecognizable body, he was very sad and angry.
Despite Kenneth’s flaws and disappointments, he was still his son, and forty years of their father-son bond could not be dismissed.
The reality of the loss was a blow he could not accept.
"Bastard! Bastard!"
Mark pounded the bench beneath him with his fists, making loud thumping sounds!
He was usually a very calm person, never showing his emotions.
Such a loss of control was extremely rare.
Brian, standing beside him, softly reminded, "Mr. Davis, your wrist is bleeding!"
However, Mark seemed oblivious.
With bloodshot eyes, he ordered, "Investigate! Use all our resources to investigate! Kenneth was definitely murdered. No matter who the killer is, I will tear them to pieces!"
"Don't worry, Mr. Davis. I guarantee we will get to the bottom of this!" Brian said.
Brian nodded and quickly left!
At this moment, Villa No. 1 in Platan Height.
Ryder was applying medicine to Sarah's cheek and asked softly, "Does it feel better?"
Sarah nodded. "It's cool and comfortable, it doesn't hurt at all!"
Ryder added, "Rex said this is the latest special medicine!"
After Ryder finished applying the medicine, Sarah looked at him with gratitude. "Thank you!"
Ryder was taken aback. "Thank me for what? For saving you? That's what I should do. Besides, their main target was actually me!"
Sarah shook her head and said, "I'm thanking you for always being tolerant of me. No matter what I do, you never hold it against me. But I always throw tantrums and do unreasonable things."
Ryder lovingly patted Sarah's head. "For the past three years, haven't you tolerated a lot from me too?"
Sarah pouted, "But I still feel like I haven't fulfilled my duties as a good wife!"
Hearing this, Ryder suddenly thought of something, a mischievous smile appearing on his lips. "To be honest, in some aspects, you really haven't fulfilled your duties as a wife!"
Sarah blinked her big eyes and asked, "Really? Then tell me, in which areas do I need to improve? I’ll make sure to correct it!"
"Are you sure?" Ryder asked.
Sarah nodded firmly. "Of course."
A faint twinkle appeared in Ryder's eyes as he smiled and said, "As an excellent wife, the first thing you need to satisfy is your husband's sexual needs!"
Saying this, he gave Sarah a teasing look!
Sarah immediately understood his hint, and angrily said, "Ryder, your mind is always filled with these sexual things. It turns out all men in the world are the same after all!"
Ryder looked innocent and said, "What are you talking about? It's perfectly normal for a man to think about those things!"
Sarah pouted, looking unconvinced!
Ryder sighed, looking helpless!
Sarah bit her lip, thinking about something. Then, as if she had made a decision, she took a deep breath and said to Ryder, "Alright! Since you've been behaving so well lately, I'll make an exception today and let you enjoy the responsibilities I should fulfill as a wife!
A soft blush spread across her cheeks as she added, "But let me remind you, the last step is not allowed."
Seeing this, Ryder's heart raced!
This was the first time in three years that Sarah had been so proactive!
It was something Ryder had longed for many nights!
Even without the final step, he felt that what was to come would be immensely gratifying.
Ryder took a deep breath and gently placed his hand on Sarah's cheek.
Sarah, slightly nervous, closed her eyes, showing a look of acceptance.
Ryder couldn't help but gulp in excitement!
He thought to himself, 'Honey! Here I come!'
Just as he was about to lean in, Sarah's phone rang, cutting through the moment.
'Damn it! Who the hell is ruining this perfect moment?' Ryder complained in his heart.
Sarah gave an apologetic smile and answered the phone. "Hello, this is Sarah! What? He's awake and talking? Okay, thank you, doctor, I'll be right there!"
After hanging up, Sarah looked at Ryder with joy and said, "The doctor called, my dad is awake and can talk. They want us to go over now! Come on, let's go together!"
Hearing that Ernest was awake and could talk, Ryder was naturally happy for her!
But amidst the joy, he felt a deep regret for not being able to enjoy Sarah fulfilling her wifely duties!
He resolved not to let this matter slip away. Next time, he thought to himself, he would make sure she made up for it.
Houston Urban First Medical Center.
In a certain high-end ward, Ryder and Sarah, who had just arrived, sat by the bed, talking to the now-awake Ernest!
After this period of hospitalization, Ernest looked thinner and older compared to before.
In his weak state, he worriedly asked, "Sarah, has your mom been giving you trouble again during this time?"
Sarah nodded!
Ernest sighed. "I knew she wouldn't let it go. That vicious woman! If I had known she was capable of thiss, I should have divorced her back then! Then it wouldn't have come to this!"
At this moment, Ryder asked, "Dad! We want to know, what exactly caused your stroke?"
Hearing this, a trace of sadness flashed in Ernest's eyes, and he replied, "I think you all have probably guessed it. The reason I had a stroke was entirely because of that vicious woman Karen and that unfilial son, Kyle!"
Ryder squinted his eyes slightly!
So it was indeed their doing!
Ernest continued, "Ever since Kyle had a finger cut off in the basement last time, I couldn't stop worrying about them. So I offered to take care of them at the hospital, but they kicked me out!
"I had no choice but to secretly pay for their hospital bills and order meals to be delivered to the hospital, hoping it might influence them to reconcile and return to the family.
"But one day, Karen suddenly called me, saying she had something important to discuss that she couldn't let you know, or she would have Kyle commit suicide together with her!
"So I went over, and they took me out for a meal. I didn't expect them to drug the drinks with something that increased my blood sugar, causing my high blood pressure to relapse.
"I was so weak at the time. I asked them to call an ambulance, but they just watched as my blood pressure got worse and worse, until I finally had a stroke."
