Chapter 319 Chapter 319 82 EX 55 vouchers " So it was he who helped me , " Zinnia murmured , her emotions in turmoil . When Anne got into trouble , she was worried something might happen to her too , but nothing did . She never expected Yannis would go so far for her behind the scenes . Looking at Zinnia's innocent face , so utterly oblivious to everything , Hugo felt a pang of resentment . She thought , ' Some people are just born lucky . She doesn't even realize it , yet someone's already taken care of everything for her .' Hugo said , " Ms. Shawn , you've seen enough . Just go . " Zinnia hadn't planned to stay any longer . She repeated , " She'll be fine ." With that , she turned to leave . As she checked her phone , she saw a message from Charlie informing her that they could go home now . ***** After Zinnia left , Hugo quietly pushed open the hospital room door . He pulled up a chair to the bedside and gazed at Anne , exhaustion shadowing his usually cold , handsome features . He muttered , " I told you , you have terrible judgment when it comes to people , but you just wouldn't listen . You had to be stubborn . Now look at you , see what your stubbornness has gotten you into . " I never said your face was ugly . But how could you use Betty's stuff without worrying it might ruin your skin ? That woman only does things for her benefit . She's got the whole Shaw family wrapped around her finger . So what chance do you have ? " If you'd made friends with Zinnia , I wouldn't have said a word . After all , she's just simple - minded . But no , you had to pick someone as scheming as Betty , and even argued with me that Betty was truly sincere to you . " All she gave you was a bottle of cream , and you were ready to give her everything . Who even knows where that cream came from ? " Hugo stared at the right side of Anne's face , now perfectly healed , without a trace of scars , and let out a soft sigh . He said , " You were always afraid I'd take the Carson family from you , weren't you ? If you never wake up , it'll be mine by default . Would you be okay with that ? " Anne remained perfectly still , giving no response . Hugo had no idea how long he'd been talking ; in the end , he kept vigil by her bedside the entire night . Meanwhile , Zinnia met up with Charlie , and the two headed home together . In the car , Charlie looked at Zinnia with concern and said , " Zinnia , I already know about what happened at school . Why didn't you come to me ? " Zinnia replied , " I know you're all busy . I just didn't want to worry you . " Zinnia had already brushed off similar concerns over the phone a couple of days ago . Now , face - to - face with 11:20 Thu , Sep 25 Chapter 319 82 65 vouchers Charlie , especially after recently dealing with Sofia , she found herself responding more naturally . She remembered Sofia mentioning how swamped Charlie had been lately , and Zinnia didn't want to burden him . Charlie said , " I may be busy , Zinnia , but I'll always make time for you . We're family . Don't ever hesitate to come to me . Promise you'll turn to me next time , okay ? " Charlie gazed at Zinnia with tender warmth and gently ruffled her hair . " Okay , " Zinnia replied softly . Zinnia had been struggling over who to turn to for help when the accident happened . But then , somehow , she ended up calling Yannis by accident . To her surprise , Yannis picked up on the first ring . Noticing the troubled expression Charlie had been wearing since leaving the hospital , Zinnia asked , " Charlie , is something bothering you ? " Charlie said , " I've been thinking about Anne's condition . One of her blood vessels is blocked by a blood clot in a critical location . The surgery is extremely delicate . I only have a fifty - fifty chance of success . " I'm trying to figure out if there's any way I can improve those odds , even just a little . The Carsons invited someone from the Moore family , but the person was no help at all . " We still have to find another solution . Anne is so young ; it would be such a shame if she never wakes up . Charlie didn't hide anything . His desire to help Anne came purely from a doctor's duty . He just wanted to save his patient , nothing more . As Anne's attending physician , Charlie felt that a fifty percent chance was already significant , but to Daniel and his family , the risk still seemed too high to accept . Hoping for the highest possible success rate , the Carsons called in someone from the Moore family . They figured that even if the collateral branch of the Moore family hadn't inherited most of the main family's medical expertise , it would still be better than nothing . But to their disappointment , the person who showed up turned out to be just a good - for - nothing heir . Charlie thought , ' No wonder the Moore family has been on a downward spiral for twenty years . Once the main branch died out , the whole family became a disorganized mess , just living off their past glory . The Moore family , once mentioned in the same breath as the Perkins and Lynn families , had become almost unheard of . The Stark family only rose to prominence later . Back then , it was the Moore family that truly dominated the pharmaceutical industry , with a global presence . Zinnia said , " Charlie , maybe you should run another brain scan for Anne tomorrow . Neurological conditions can change from day to day. Who knows , her situation might be different by then . " Charlie smiled and said , " Yes , daily check - ups are routine for all patients ." Hearing Charlie bring up the Moore family again , Zinnia hesitated and asked , " Charlie , who exactly are the 11:20 Thu , Sep 25 Chapter 319 Moores ? " 2 65 vouchers Though Zinnia wasn't sure if her Master had any connection to the Moore family , she couldn't suppress her curiosity . She obediently refrained from seeking her Master out , as he had forbidden , but whenever something possibly related to her Master came up , she couldn't help but pay close attention . Charlie explained , " The Moore family used to be one of Jinston's most prominent families , standing shoulder to shoulder with ours . But about twenty years ago , for reasons no one understood , they suddenly packed up and left the city for good . " But just three years after moving abroad , the main branch of the Moore family was wiped out in an explosion , with all three members perishing in that tragedy . Now , the collateral branch has taken the reins of the family . " The collateral branch of the Moore family has been riding on the coattails of their former patriarch's legacy . They've learned nothing useful , just squandering their days away . " The person they sent to help is nothing but a good - for - nothing heir . Not a shred of the Moore family's true medical expertise has been passed down to him . " Charlie's voice was tinged with regret , and when he thought of the current situation of the Moore family , deep disappointment made his words reflect this sentiment . He thought , ' Without the main branch of the Moore family , the family can't last much longer . If they keep letting the collateral relatives squander their legacy like this , they'll fade into complete obscurity before long . Zinnia blurted out , " Why did the Moore family move abroad twenty years ago ? And how did that explosion happen just three years later ? " Charlie said , " I'm not entirely sure about what happened twenty years ago . I was just a kid back then . All I know is what the family elders told me . " As for the explosion , I heard they might have been sabotaged . When our family found out , they sent people to help at the time . " Charlie himself wasn't very clear about what had happened twenty years ago . He just remembered the adults in his family lamenting the fact that the Moore family patriarch , such a brilliant and extraordinary man , had perished in that explosion . The entire family of three was lost in the blast ; none survived , which left Charlie's elders deeply grieved . 11:20 Thu , Sep 25 Chapter 320
