Two weeks later, Daniel returned from abroad. He then went straight to the Lous’ mansion.
As Officer Lou had a few days off and he had just returned the night before, so now he was having breakfast with Mrs. Lou.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Lou also urged him to check the situation in Country XL, which exactly got him mad.
“He is now in coma! What’s the point for me to head there?!” Officer Lou scolded. Then he continued, “How could you hire a hitman to kill Stella! Just because you hate her? She didn’t even have a chance to be part of our family!”
Actually, Officer didn’t even care who Daniel would like to be with. Nor did he care even though Mrs. Lou manipulated his power to send Sophia to Country XL for that nasty plan.
But Daniel came to his front to question him in harsh voice after what happened to Stella, showing great disrespect to both his parents. And that was what ignited the heated quarrel between the father and son.
However, no one had expected that Daniel then fell into coma.
Though inflammable Officer Lou was, he was quite worried because his only son was still unconscious.
“I was just being too mad to stay rational.” While wiping her own tears, Mrs. Lou sighed with regret, “If I had known earlier about the fact that both Stella and that kid staying with her belonged to Daniel, I would never…”
“Shut up!” Officer shouted to shut her crying, irritated.
“Do you think regret can solve the problem? I will head to Country XL by my own plane this afternoon to see how is going on with that kid.”
Mrs. Lou sighed again and frowned, “I have met that kid before in the hospital. He held great hostility against me. But he looks intelligent. He is like Daniel from the inside.”
“Try to talk to Louis and bring that kid back to the family.” Said Officer Lou. Then he added, “If Daniel stayed unconscious for the rest of his life, that kid would be the only sibling of the family. We must get him back.”
Mrs. Lou showed no response.
Now she could only stay cautious while talking to Louis. Not to mention if she had the guts to suggest Chandler should be brought home.
What was more, being brought up here would be the last thing Chandler would do.
“I will talk to Louis someday.” Mrs. Lou sighed.
She still had to try even if it was impossible.
While they still continued with breakfast, the voice of servant sounded.
“Mr. Daniel, welcome back. Officer Lou and Mrs. Lou are having breakfast. Let me go to serve some for you…”
“No!”
When his cold and strong voice sounded, Mrs. Lou even deemed herself mistaken.
When Daneil walked into the parlor, she saw him with his own eyes. She suddenly jumped up from the chair out of excitement.
“Daniel?!” she was being too thrilled to utter.
She could only stammer, “How did you…how did you wake up?”
Daniel strode over with a cold face.
Mrs. Lou moved the chair away and hurried over. Her eyes were filled with tears.
“When did you wake up? Why don’t you tell your father and me about it? Are you still good?”
Mrs. Lou was about to touch him but Daniel grabbed her hand to fling her off.
Mrs. Lou then teetered backwards.
“What are you doing?” Officer Lou thumped the table with his fork. He shouted, “She is your mom! How dare you be so rude to her with this sudden arrival!”
“I am fine. Don’t shout at him. He has just arrived.” As Mrs. Lou stood still, she told the servant to serve breakfast for Daniel. Then she said to him gently, “Daniel, just take a seat for breakfast.”
Daniel refused with silence. He strode towards Officer Lou with a chilling horrible looking face.
After a few seconds of silence, he pulled out something dark and heavy from his waist. And then he put it next to Officer Lou’s hand.
Daniel gave the order coldly, “Escort Officer Lou to the base. And bring back what I need.”
“Yes, sir!”
The two men walked over to Officer Lou with respect. But they still looked alert, “Officer Lou, if you have finished your breakfast, we will be ready for the escort.”
When Officer Lou was about to lose his temper again, Mrs. Lou grabbed his hand tight to beg him with her eyes.
Officer Lou could only glare at Daniel and stood up.
Before he left, he warned, “If you dare to be rude to your mom again, you will no longer be my son.”
After they left, Mrs. Lou walked to Daniel’s front. It took her quite a while to utter awkwardly, “It’s all my fault. Please don’t blame it on the whole family. The Lous need to stay strong.”
Daniel only replied with an indifferent face, “The family will be fine as long as you spend the rest of your lives peacefully in the hometown.”
“Please utilize what your father offers. I…” Mrs. Lou stopped while wiping her tears with handkerchief.
“Please say sorry to Stella for me.”
“She doesn’t need it.” Daniel replied with coldness. Then he continued, “You will never be recognized by her.”
Upon hearing that, Mrs. Lou shed tears again.
She had never expected to shred the family just because of something she committed.
Daniel showed no response and then went into his car outside the mansion to wait.
About an hour later, when his men returned after escorting Officer Lou, they brought a box of files into the car. Then Daniel made the chauffeur to leave.
He went to Chloe’s dwelling.
Coffey didn’t seem to be surprised about his arrival when opening the door. He just asked out of politeness, “Do you want some breakfast?”
