The Guardian's Return Chapter 774
The psychologist wanted that too, but whether he could handle it was another issue. What was Stephen’s current condition?Putting aside everything that happened in the past half year, such as being unable to find Snow, causing the death of Julius, personally killing Jeremy, and missing Lily’s final moments...Even now, he failed to stop the bomb explosion, had Hugo turn against him, and in the end, watched helplessly as the latter died in front of him to save him.As a psychologist, he knew some classic cases.There was a man who, as a child, watched his younger sister drown. Fifty years later, he still had not recovered from the trauma and often woke up in tears from nightmares.Everything Stephen experienced over the past half year was a serious concern. Even the psychologist felt that it was a miracle Stephen was still alive.“I really can’t do anything,” the psychologist sighed. “Even Dr. Steel would be helpless here. At this point, we’ll need every top psychologist working t
The Guardian's Return Chapter 775
Harrison stood up. The Ledgers always kept a low profile, so it would not be easy to get their help. Furthermore, after being rejected so many times, he decided to go there himself. He did not believe that they would refuse if he came in person!Half an hour later, Harrison arrived at a massive courtyard. It was the Ledger family’s estate.After learning of Harrison’s arrival, an old woman welcomed him to the living room, making tea while she said, “Harrison Quinn, I’ve heard so much about you. It’s truly an honor to meet you in person today.”She was the grandmother of the Ledger family’s head, Lucy Ledger.Harrison placed the teacup aside and said, “Madam, I’ll be honest. I came today because I need help.”Lucy smiled. “What happened? We’ll definitely help if we can.”“My grandson has some psychological issues and is in poor health. I hope your family can send someone to treat him.”Lucy nodded. “That sounds simple.”She turned to a servant and said, “Bring me Alex Page.”Ha
The Guardian's Return Chapter 776
In Breeze City, Harrison waited for two days but still did not receive a call from the Ledgers. He called Lucy instead. “Has your family head returned?”Lucy replied, “Not yet.”“It’s been two days!” Harrison was running out of patience. He had seen Stephen’s condition through video calls. Although Stephen was still alive, it was as if he had lost his soul. His entire pallor had become lifeless and gray.“There’s nothing I can do either,” said Lucy. “She’s still young and willful, and she’s the head of the family. She doesn’t even listen to me anymore. How about this? I’ll send a few highly skilled doctors to you to help first.”Harrison wanted to lash out, but considering the other party’s status, he had no choice but to hold back. After all, they were a prestigious medical family.In this world, it was nearly impossible to go a lifetime without falling ill. Offending the Ledgers would be like offending the entire medical field. It would be difficult to find treatment anywhere.
The Guardian's Return Chapter 777
In Simon’s plan, Stephen was supposed to bring Riveria’s GDP to 20 trillion within two years, then return to Metropolis in glory and enter the cabinet.However, now Stephen needed three to five years for treatment.“That’s too long,” said Simon. “Isn’t there a faster way?”“It’s not like there’s no faster way,” the doctors answered. “Stephen’s main problem is psychological. If he can resolve the block in his heart, he won’t just recover. He’ll even become stronger.“There’s an old saying: only the one who tied the knot can untie it. As long as he finds his beloved and gains the forgiveness of his brothers and friends, he can recover in less than three days.”Even three days was a conservative estimate. They had once seen a mother who had gone for more than a decade after losing her daughter. However, the moment the daughter was found, she instantly returned to normal.Simon’s expression turned grim. Finding Snow and Lily, and getting forgiveness from Andy and Jeremy was nearly im
The Guardian's Return Chapter 778
The two doctors were stunned.Who was this man? He was so bold! He actually dared to interrupt the head of the Quinns. It looked like Simon was furious.George sighed. “Ethan, so much time has passed. Isn’t it time to let it go?”Rachel also spoke up, “You weren’t this petty and narrow-minded before. What made you become like this? Is it because you couldn’t have me and your love turned into hate? Is this your new method of trying to get my attention?”The two doctors watching from the side did not understand but were deeply shocked. What relationship did Ethan have with Simon and the other?Simon spoke again. “Ethan, our relationship isn’t that sour yet. If you’re willing to help, I’m willing to grant you the right to leave the mountain once a month.”As soon as he finished speaking...“Don’t you find your words ridiculous?”A cold voice came from behind Ethan.Simon froze, George’s eyes sharpened, and Rachel’s head jerked up. They all turned toward the voice.Avery walked o
The Guardian's Return Chapter 779
Avery coldly swept her gaze over them.“George Lowe.” She looked at George. “You used to be the governor of Riveria. Ethan spent three years managing Riveria well. He did you a favor.“However, not only did you not help him when he was framed and falsely accused, but you even turned against him. Now, you’re asking him to let it go? Let me ask you instead. Do you deserve to say that?“Ethan is kind and won’t argue with you, but I’m different. George Lowe, you’re nothing more than an ingrate! You share a significant part of the blame for how Riveria ended up today. You should just spend the rest of your life in prison.“You’re not qualified to tell Ethan to let it go. You’re only qualified to apologize to him.”George flinched. He was speechless, and shame and fear filled his heart.Avery was the head of the Ledgers. The only one on their side who could stand on equal footing with her was Simon.Even if Stephen were here today, he would still have to be respectful and polite towar
The Guardian's Return Chapter 780
Avery continued, “No wonder they say that people get more shameless the older they get. I wouldn’t dare say something like that even in fifty years.”Simon’s expression darkened. He wanted to scold Avery for her manners. After all, she was of a similar age to his son. However, when he thought of her status as the head of the Ledgers, his words got stuck in his throat. He was in the wrong, and their statuses were technically equal.Simon had nothing to say.“I was too impulsive just now,” he conceded. Ethan was already difficult enough to deal with. Now that Avery supported him, he had no choice but to compromise.“I just want to save Stephen. Please let go of the past and help him this one time. I can pay you.”Avery did not speak and turned to Ethan instead. During times like this, she would only listen to him.Ethan said calmly, “I already gave you my answer a long time ago. Now, I just have one word to say.”Simon’s heart leaped. Could it be ‘okay’?“Scram.”Ethan’s voice m
The Guardian's Return Chapter 781
At that moment, it was clear to Lucy that Avery's heart belonged to Ethan now, and her dedication to medicine was driven by her desire to keep him safe. She worried about him getting hurt in battle or, worse, succumbing to illness like the Grand Marshal.The mansion grew quiet again."Just a few more minutes," Avery told Ethan with a smile. "Dinner's almost ready."Meanwhile, Simon was heading down the mountain with George and Rachel, fuming. Not only had they failed to get Ethan's help, but they had been thoroughly berated as well. Looking at the two useless Lowes only made his mood worse.The contrast between the women infuriated him. Avery had fought five people to defend Ethan, while Rachel could not stand up for Stephen when Stephen was criticized.He had to take several deep breaths before he could speak calmly. "We're going to Breeze City."With New Year's just two weeks away, his priority was Stephen's recovery. The situation in Breeze City could not wait any longer eithe

After everything was settled, the people from HQ went to Ethan again. They apologized to him and begged for his forgiveness.“We’ve dealt with everyone involved in this matter. Are you satisfied with the outcome, Mr. Rivers?”With that, they lowered their heads to the ground nervously. Their only hope now hinged on Ethan’s response.They did not dare to ask for much. All they hoped for was that Ethan would not leave the country.Ethan glanced at them calmly and said, “Send someone to help move my stuff down the mountain.”Hearing that, everyone was first stunned, and then ecstatic.“Of course!” they replied in unison.They understood what Ethan meant. He was staying! Although it was not his complete forgiveness, he was willing to give them another chance.They were all overjoyed. As long as Ethan did not leave, there was plenty of time to slowly make amends.They took out their phones and made arrangements to help Ethan move.After the call ended, they said, “We respectfully
The Guardian's Return Chapter 919
The day of Rachel and George’s trial came.The livestream began at 10 a.m., and hundreds of thousands of viewers joined instantly.Rachel and George slowly walked into the courtroom in handcuffs.Bang! The judge’s gavel fell, and the room went silent.It was not a lawsuit. It was a trial to expose the sins of Rachel and George.The judge read out their crimes one by one, until Rachel and George’s faces paled to the point that they looked like corpses.The viewers in the livestream finally saw the full picture.“So that’s it! The Quinns and the Lowes conspired!”“They deserve to die! How could they frame Ethan like that? Are they even human?”“The death penalty! They deserve the death penalty!”They were all furious.Many people had lost their families as a result of supporting Stephen and scolding Ethan. After watching the livestream, they realized just how deeply they had been wrong.They were accomplices to the Quinns and the Lowes' crimes in framing Ethan!Their current
The Guardian's Return Chapter 918
They suppressed their disgust and returned home, only to see their parents and wives’ panicked expressions.“What did you do out there?”“So many people came today, asking for you by name.”How were they supposed to answer those questions? They could not just say that they had insulted Ethan online.If they did, their parents would beat them to death before anyone else could.“It’s nothing,” they replied stiffly. They had no choice but to hide the truth. After all, they could not say that they had insulted Ethan, or that they had lost their jobs.However, the next second, their parents received text messages. After their parents glanced at their phones, their expressions instantly changed.It was a message from the bank, stating that their child had been listed as a defaulter and urging them to repay the loan immediately.“What have you done?” Their parents’ voices trembled.Seeing that there was no way to hide it anymore, they had no choice but to confess the truth.They los
The Guardian's Return Chapter 917
Seeing that message, they immediately felt as if their world had ended.Because they had insulted Ethan, they lost their jobs, were blacklisted, and could not find work again.“How could this be?”No one expected this outcome. They thought, ‘So what if I insulted him? Are they going to punish me for it? Besides, so many people are insulting him. They can’t possibly punish every single person who did it. At most, I’ll post a public apology and promise that I’ll never do it again.’However, now they were all fired. Everyone who had insulted Ethan had been dismissed from their jobs.It seemed like there were several tens of thousands of people involved! It was hard to imagine just how many people had lost their jobs in real life.“Why are they going this far? Aren’t they afraid of causing unrest?”Of course, HQ had considered that. However, they knew what was more serious.If Ethan went abroad and cooperated with foreign countries, the consequences would not be limited to a few pe
The Guardian's Return Chapter 916
George thought that Rachel had already escaped abroad, so he was not afraid when he arrived.Now, when he saw Rachel there as well, he completely panicked.This was not what he had expected!“Where else would she be?” someone from HQ asked.George looked nervous and stammered, unable to say a word.With Rachel caught and him being brought here, it was clear that HQ already knew the truth. Coupled with his fear of Ethan and his helplessness in the face of reality, he no longer had the strength to make up any excuses.He had resigned himself to fate.“You really have some nerve." The people from HQ sneered. “You fooled us all completely.”“You’ve been hiding Ethan’s contributions all this time, haven’t you?”“You two are nothing but disasters to this country! You deserve to die a thousand times over.”George kept his head down while Rachel sobbed. “I was wrongfully accused!”“Shut up! Are you still trying to fool us at a time like this? You were wrongfully accused? By who? Sim
The Guardian's Return Chapter 915
They brought this on themselves, forcing themselves into a corner with no way out. “Ah!”Simon could not take it anymore. He suddenly ran towards the window, trying to end his life. Fortunately, the officials quickly stopped him. “Don’t be reckless! Think about Stephen. You’re all he has now!”That sentence made Simon stop. Now, Stephen and Simon were each other’s support and burden. Simon slumped on the ground weakly. Right now, they both wanted to die, but neither of them had the courage to follow through. All they could do was live on in pain. After a long silence, Simon said, “I’d like to file a report on someone.”To obtain some kind of reward and survive a little longer, Simon decided to turn in George and Rachel. When the officials heard him, they were stunned. They did not expect Rachel to be involved in framing Ethan. “Shit!” Someone exclaimed. “I heard Rachel bought a flight ticket overseas. Could she have fled?”The room was filled with dread. If Rachel ra

Seeing that Stephen was awake, the others rushed to get the doctor. The doctor was astonished as well. Stephen’s sudden awakening was nothing short of a miracle. However, after examining him, the doctor’s expression darkened. Stephen had regained consciousness, but the prognosis was far from hopeful.“He can’t move,” the doctor said. “As of now, he’s paralyzed.”Stephen could open his eyes, but the rest of his body was unresponsive. He could not move his limbs or his neck and mouth. The only part he could move freely was his eye. Even his breathing was dependent entirely on medical equipment. “He might never be able to leave the bed again.”Upon hearing that, Stephen closed his eyes in despair, tears continuously rolling down his cheeks. He had fought so hard to wake up, only to realize he had missed his final chance to meet Snow and Lily. Worse yet, he also lost the ability to move. From now on, he would be confined to the bed and hooked up to machines just to stay alive.
The Guardian's Return Chapter 913
His father died a miserable death, his son was in a coma, and the Quinn family was shattered, leaving only Simon behind to finally realize all his mistakes. However, it was too late. Harrison could not come back to life, the Quinn family could not be whole again, and Stephen could not recover. Simon would forever be haunted by pain, despair, and regret for the rest of his life. At that moment, in complete darkness, Stephen heard Simon’s voice. He was conscious but failed to open his eyes or speak; he could not move a muscle. He wanted so badly to sit up and tell Simon that it was not solely his fault. They were all wrong, and this was their retribution!Just then, two women walked into the ward. When the officials saw them, their eyes widened in shock. For a second, no one even breathed. They were Snow and Lily!The officials thought they were seeing ghosts. Those women were supposed to be dead. Why were they there? Snow and Lily noticed their shocked gazes and offered them
The Guardian's Return Chapter 912
Due to Harrison’s previous incident, the officials reacted quickly by sending Stephen straight to the hospital.After an emergency rescue, Stephen’s life was saved. However, he paid a heavy price. When the doctor walked out of the emergency room, the officials asked, “How is he?”“The situation isn’t looking good,” the doctor said grimly. “His body is in a bad state, and due to long-term emotional distress, he suffered a brain hemorrhage from the emotional shock.“He’s still in a coma, and we can’t say for sure when he’ll wake up again. It depends on his will to live.”The officials drew a sharp breath. “Do you mean he might end up in a coma forever?”The doctor nodded. No one saw coming that Stephen would fall into a coma, with little chance of ever waking up again. However, it also meant he did not have to die anymore. He would be alive but confined to a bed. Suddenly, they thought of Harrison’s desperate pleas to Ethan back in his villa. “I’m willing to trade my life fo
