Chapter 139 You Can Forget about Being Part of the Martin Family
Nicholas let out a heavy sigh, guilt pressing down on him. "How did Chloe get sick? She's always been so strong and healthy. What went wrong? Was I too harsh, making her stay in Sovereign City? It's my fault she's sick."
Seeing Nicholas so upset, the family butler stepped in to try and comfort him. "Mr. Davis, don't be so hard on yourself. Maybe the Martin brothers didn't take good care of Miss Chloe.
You trusted the Martin Family with her, and now she's sick. Shouldn't they be responsible? They didn't look after her properly."
The butler's words struck a chord with Nicholas. He slapped his thigh and said, "You're right. It's the Martin Family's fault. They were careless with Chloe. I'm calling Louis right now."
Nicholas grabbed his phone and dialed Louis's number. As soon as the call connected, he started yelling.
"Louis, my granddaughter got sick at your place. If you can't take care of her, send her back to me."
With that, Nicholas hung up the phone with a loud click.
The pressure was now on Louis.
Meanwhile, Chloe, who had developed a high fever, was already taken to the hospital's emergency room. Due to her persistent high fever, she had to undergo examinations and treatment, and Grant was with her.
Outside the emergency room, Harry and Liam sat on the chairs, looking worried.
Liam's face was grim, his mood complex and contradictory at this moment. When he heard Grant mention Chloe's illness, a sudden sense of tension gripped his heart, leaving even himself surprised and confused. This moment of chaos made him feel at a loss, standing there with an unpredictable change of expression on his face.
He clearly had someone he liked. He admired the way his goddess exudes elegance and charisma at the motorcycle track. Whenever he thought of her, his heart was always filled with excitement and admiration. But why did he feel a pang of heartache upon hearing that Chloe was sick?
Didn't he use to dislike this plain girl?
Harry, sitting next to Liam, kept muttering, "Man, Grant went too far this time. Chloe just had a few drinks, did he really need to push her into the pool and make her choke?
Was it such a big deal? Did he have to bully her like that? If Grant doesn't want to marry her, just send her back home. Why go to such extremes?"
Harry's words made Liam frown.
Not long ago, Grant had nobly declared he was willing to marry Chloe for the sake of the family. At the time, Liam even sighed at the great sacrifice Grant made. Who would have thought he would actually want to harm Chloe?
Chloe might be plain and have an arranged marriage with the Martin Family, but she was innocent. The marriage was arranged by their elders, what did it have to do with her?
Grant actually wanted her dead?
That crossed Liam's line.
If Grant didn't want to marry Chloe, Liam would do it himself. After all, she was just a bit plain-looking.
With these complex emotions, Liam felt a bit better.
A few minutes later, Michael rushed in from the set.noveldrama
As soon as he arrived, he anxiously asked, "How's Chloe? Has her fever gone down?"
Harry shook his head. "No, she's still in the emergency room."
"What happened? I was away for just one day, and Chloe got sick? Can we not have such bad luck?" Michael was exasperated.
No one knew how fast he had rushed back from the movie set hearing Chloe was sick.
Harry pursed his lips and said, "It was Grant. Chloe had a bit to drink, and he pushed her into the water to choke her..."
Just as Harry finished complaining, Louis called, he harshly scolded Michael. "Mic, how are you guys even being brothers? I asked you to take good care of Chloe, and what did you do? You ended up getting her hospitalized!
Nicholas just called and gave me a good scolding. He even talked about calling off the engagement. I'm telling you three idiots, if the Davis Family calls off the engagement, you three can forget about being part of the Martin Family.
And take good care of Chloe. If this happens again, watch out for your lives.
Pass my message to the other two. That's it, I'm hanging up."
After a harsh scolding, Louis hung up in a hurry.
Holding his phone, Michael looked bewildered.
Liam leaned in and asked, "Michael, what did Grandpa say?"
Michael looked at Liam and said, "Grandpa said we need to treat Chloe well. The Davis Family is considering calling off the engagement because of Chloe's illness. If they do, we three won't be part of the Martin Family anymore..."
Hearing this, Liam's expression grew serious.

He didn't understand why Louis was so insistent on the marriage with the Davis Family, but he could tell from Louis's words that the alliance was crucial for the Martin Family.
Standing next to Liam and Michael, Harry was excited at the prospect of the three Martin brothers losing their family name.
"Awesome, if you guys aren't Martins anymore, I can take the Martin name. Then the entire Martin Family fortune will be mine, Harry Gonzalez... no, Harry Martin."
Harry's words drew immediate disapproval from Michael and Liam.
They glared at him and snapped, "Shut up..."
Harry quickly closed his mouth, afraid that saying another word would get him kicked. Outside the emergency room, Michael and Liam were tense.
Inside, the cold light illuminated the pristine white walls, while the pungent smell of disinfectant lingered in the air. Grant stood by the bedside, his gaze fixed on Chloe, who remained unconscious in the bed. An indescribable worry turned into a heavy sense of oppression, making his heartbeats feel disordered and heavy. Despite the medical team's efforts, Chloe's condition had improved slightly, but her fever hadn't gone down.
Faced with the challenging situation, the doctor shook his head in frustration.
He turned to Grant, who was standing nearby, and asked, "Are you the patient's husband? I need to know if she ate anything unusual before the fever started." The doctor's words left Grant momentarily stunned...
