Chapter 294

The rain went on for a very long time. After it stopped, Mila fell sick. She was probably infected with
Nathan’s virus. She spent three days in bed with the illness.
Besides taking care of Mila, Phoebe had to secretly investigate Oliver for information about Mila’s
parents. Mila’s cold was completely gone a week later.
At the quiet hour of 2:00 am, Mila quietly entered Zach’s sick room. After locking the door, she opened
the app on her phone and scanned the room. The app showed that besides a surveillance camera,
there were two hidden cameras in the room.
Mila activated the signal blocker. After a few seconds, all the cameras and signaling devices stopped
working. She walked up to the bed and whispered in Zach’s ear, “Grandpa, can you hear me?”
Zach remained still. Mila touched his hand and continued, “Grandpa, can you hear
ar me?”
Mila smiled in relief when she saw Zach’s fingers move a little. She reassured, “Don’t worry, I’ve
jammed every single camera.”
Zach slowly looked toward Mila. The warm light in the sick room made the room seem a little dim, but
Mila could clearly see that Zach had opened his eyes. His gaze was still sharp, not that of a seriously ill
patient.
“Grandpa, you awake?” Mila asked with a lowered voice.
With tears in his eyes, Zach spoke hoarsely, “Sally! You are the real Sally. I realized we had made a
mistake when I saw you in Sudvilla.”
Mila gently touched his hand, comforting him, “Grandpa, don’t say those things now. It’s all my fault.
Losing my memory for three years gave the bad guys a chance.”
“Leave quickly and never come back. Run for your life.” Zach choked up.
Tears welled up in Mila’s eyes. “Grandpa, I can’t just abandon you and Grandma.”
“You silly goose.”
“Grandpa, have you been pretending to be sick from the beginning? Or are they trying to hurt you?”
Zach’s hands trembled as he said angrily, “Oliver is an ingrate. He poisoned me. I was lucky enough to
be saved in the hospital. But I dare not wake up before him, or he’ll poison me again.
“So you keep pretending to be sick?”
Zach nodded. “I bribed the attending doctor to hide the fact that I’m conscious. I got him to tell them
that I didn’t have much time left. It was my way out of a close call.”
Mila sighed. “Grandma’s too blunt. She can’t hide what she’s feeling. I dare not tell her about my
identity.”
Zach nodded understandingly. A sudden thought struck him and he clasped Mila’s hand.
“Sally, why did you change your citizenship? What’s the reason? You’re the only one left standing from
the Hoffises. Who will inherit my considerable wealth if you change your citizenship?”
Mila stroked his hand. “Grandpa, I’ll explain when the time is right. Right now, my
ow my most important task is to keep you and Grandma safe and to find my parents.”
“Your parents are alive? They’re alive?”
“Yes, they probably do. I don’t believe they’re dead, so I have to find them.”
Zach closed his eyes and shed tears in silence. Mila’s unwavering faith rekindled the hope in
him.
