Chapter 686
Slowly, she regained her composure and clarity. “You mean someone’s pulling the strings and causing all this chaos?” she asked.
“Absolutely,” Benjamin replied, casting a glance at the man confronting the police. “Don’t worry. He won’t set off the bomb. He must have a goal, but we don’t know who he’s working for.”
Most people kept a safe distance from the man.
Perhaps reaching an agreement with the police, the man discarded the bomb and allowed himself to be led away.
The ordeal lasted just over ten minutes but had a significant impact on the Ferguson Group.
All the media outlets covered the crisis, failing to specify who was responsible. They simply highlighted Ferguson Group’s involvement.
As a result, Ferguson Group’s stock market took a hit.
To address the negative fallout from the incident, Eileen worked late into the night, finally heading home after eleven.
On her way home, as she drove past the hospital, she didn’t go inside but pulled over to the roadside.
She stepped out of the car and leaned against it, gazing up at a specific ward.
Though the light in the room was faint, it stood as the only glimmer of hope in her heart.
Bryan hadn’t been in a coma for long, yet it felt like an eternity to Eileen. She struggled to recall what it was like when he was always by her side.

Lowering her head, she couldn’t hide the disappointment in her eyes.
Suddenly, her phone rang, piercing the quiet night. She quickly answered it. Turning around and getting back into the car, she said, “Mom, I’m on my way home now.”
Roderick had heard about Bryan’s situation and had wanted to meet with Eileen multiple times, but his busy restaurant kept him occupied.
That wasn’t the only issue; Judie was nearing her due date, and her emotional instability led to frequent arguments with him over minor things.
Their disputes became even more intense whenever Eileen was mentioned. In the midst of this turmoil, Roderick could only send a few messages expressing his concern for Eileen.
Each time Eileen responded briefly, telling him to wait for good news and assuring him that she would update him immediately if anything happened to Bryan.
The more Eileen acted like this, the more worried Roderick became. Unable to shake his concern, he ended up closing the restaurant at midnight and drinking alone.
His drinking soon led him to collapse on the roadside. The police found him there and contacted Judie to bring him home.
Seeing Roderick sprawled on the bed, Judie’s frustration boiled over. “What’s the point of this? I’m your wife, and Eileen is not even related to you. Why are you so worried about her?”
