Chapter 383: Chapter 382: Gathering [Start of 20 More Updates]

In the hospital, when Yusuf Zuck saw Ember Vance again, he was so excited he didn’t know what to say because Ember Vance’s muscular functions had recovered. Her heart was beating strongly, her gastrointestinal system was functioning normally, and even the injuries deep in her brain had healed completely. Even her skin was glowing with health.

Yusuf Zuck finally witnessed the miraculous effects of the traditional Miao medicine. Although he had experienced many strange events in his life, the miracle that occurred with Ember Vance still made him marvel at the vast depth and sophistication of Chinese civilization’s heritage.

"She hasn’t woken up yet, but it’ll only be a few days now. I guarantee she will wake up before the Spring Festival!" Sophia had been very tired these days. She had been staying in the hospital, and although the hospital had arranged a separate room for her to rest and the Vance family had someone specifically to take care of her, the hospital was so noisy that she probably hasn’t had a good night’s sleep!

"You’ve worked hard, I am beyond grateful. From now on, your matters are my matters," Yusuf Zuck thanked Sophia in the way of the rivers and lakes, clasping his fist and bowing to her.

"Hehe, go on with your business, keep the good food and drinks coming." Sophia had exclusive access to food and drinks, with a new variety every day. Yusuf Zuck had Grey Petty deliver food to Sophia every day, cooked in the restaurant and brought over in food containers.

"I’m not busy today. You go and take a rest. I’ll keep her company for a while!" Yusuf Zuck shook his head. It had been many days since he accompanied Ember Vance, so he wanted to stay here for a while and talk to her.

"Alright then, I’ll go rest. You talk to her," Sophia gave Yusuf Zuck a wink and then turned and walked out.

As soon as Sophia left, Yusuf Zuck sat down and took Ember Vance’s hand. She was attended to every day by a carer who helped wash her and cleanse her face, so all Yusuf Zuck needed to do was simply keep her company.

"Wake up soon, I’m waiting for you..." Yusuf Zuck gently warmed her hand and stared blankly at her; she had lost a lot of weight.

...

Meanwhile, as Yusuf Zuck was accompanying Ember Vance in the hospital, news of his return reached everyone. Samuel Ross and others received the news, as did Miles O’Brian, the young nurse, and others, and they all rushed to the hospital.

Seeing Yusuf Zuck was truly not an easy task now.

The Petty Family also received news of Yusuf Zuck’s return, but they got even more insider information. Essentially, they learned everything that Yusuf Zuck had achieved in Japan through special channels.

"Dad, should I give him a call?" In a large mansion in the capital, which is the Petty Family’s property in the capital, a traditional courtyard house, it was always maintained and managed by professionals even when not in use.

"No need, he has just come back and must be busy. Let’s wait a bit, we will see when Raelyn gives us an update," the elder Mr. Petty shook his head. The stronger Yusuf Zuck became, the more they dared not command him, and they had to lower their status even more.

"Okay, I got it. But Dad, we are staying in the capital for this year’s Spring Festival—it’s really nice here." Alvin Petty hadn’t spent Spring Festival in the capital for many years, so after staying there for a few days, he didn’t want to leave.

"Alright, inform the Hong Kong side to come over if they can. The capital is the place where the dragon prospers, the head of the dragon veins. A longer stay might even bless us with a touch of the immortals’ aura, haha." Mr. Petty laughed, regarding the capital as a precious land. Of course, many people saw it as a place of malevolence, as it was the imperial capital, a city where countless people, including many of some renown, had died.

While the Petty Family was busy preparing for the Spring Festival, Russ Trujillo and Felicity O’Brien, who had already returned to the capital, also received a secret mission from the organization to invite Yusuf Zuck to the headquarters, as the deputy chief had ordered it.

The deputy chief of the Sacred Dragon organization was not only powerful in his authority, but he was also a formidable and unmatched force within the group. Besides the chief, he was the strongest, in charge of all matters, both internal and external, while the whereabouts and actions of the chief were rarely seen or known. Russ Trujillo and Felicity O’Brien had never seen the chief of Sacred Dragon, unsure of appearance, level, or even gender.

With an order from the deputy chief, Russ Trujillo and Felicity O’Brien had no choice but to comply. Moreover, they needed to go through Miles O’Brien to learn of Yusuf Zuck’s whereabouts; otherwise, they would have no way to find him.

On her way to the hospital, Miles O’Brien received a call from Felicity.

"Felicity? You’re back home? On leave?" Miles O’Brien did not know the specifics of Felicity’s military service; she only knew that Felicity was a signal soldier serving in the south. She had no idea about the details.

The military base was strictly managed, so she never visited, but of course, the two sisters often called each other.

"Sis, where are you?" Felicity asked with a laugh.

"I’m in the capital, very busy with business recently. I’m not sure I can make it back for the Spring Festival." Miles gave a heads-up because she felt that Yusuf might not accompany her home this year for the festival, so if Yusuf wasn’t going back, she didn’t plan on going back either.

After all, she had spent every year at home; missing one wouldn’t matter much.

"Oh, busy with work? So what about my brother-in-law, what’s he busy with?" Felicity teased with a giggly voice, thinking that Miles was kidding her.

"Stop talking nonsense. What brother-in-law." Miles’s face turned red; she and Yusuf were only boyfriend and girlfriend at most. They had never discussed marriage.

Moreover, she had Paisley Kirk and Raelyn Petty sitting in the car.

"I’m asking what he’s up to, why are you so busy? Sis, there’s something I want to tell you, I’m in the capital. Where are you? I’ll come to find you." Felicity knew that she might not get the real story from Miles over the phone, so a face-to-face meeting was a must.

"Ah? What are you doing in the capital? I... Where are you? I’ll come to find you?"

"Where are you? I’ll come to find you. My boyfriend is from the capital, and we’re out shopping now."

"A friend of mine is sick, and I need to visit the hospital first. Do this, bring your boyfriend to Union Hospital, and after I’ve visited my friend, I’ll meet up with you and your brother-in-law and treat you to a meal."

"Oh, got it. I’ll hang up now, see you in a while!" Felicity immediately understood the situation. She knew about Ember being hospitalized, so she knew the location.

Miles was inevitably nervous, not because she was worried that Yusuf would refuse to meet her sister and future brother-in-law, but because she feared her sister’s endless queries might place Yusuf in an awkward position.

Miles drove Paisley Kirk and Raelyn Petty to the hospital. By coincidence, Jerome Hart and his group, including Faye Webb, Everest Zuck, and Rachel Fournier, also arrived at the parking lot.

Jerome Hart’s heroic rescue had completely captivated Faye Webb’s heart. Even though Faye still feared she might bring bad luck to Jerome, the power of love was great, and she couldn’t bear to be apart from him.

Besides, Jerome was crafty. Whenever Faye felt upset and wanted to keep her distance, he would start complaining of leg pain or a sore butt, the lingering effects of a previous arrow wound!

During these days while Jerome was recovering from his injuries, he stayed at Khaza Zuck’s home, while Khaza himself stayed in a hotel to accompany Rachel Fournier.

No need to mention Samuel and the others, The Pillar, Uriel Arellano, Nickels, and Floyd Hart, who had just been discharged from the hospital. Grey Petty was already in the hospital, after all.

Coming with Samuel’s group was the private detective, Anais Dillon, accompanied by his wife Mary Berger. The lone wolf, Isaac Quintana, didn’t show up.

After everyone met up in the hospital hallway and exchanged greetings, they all headed to Sophia’s private rest room, which was actually a patient room, but made available for her to stay alone.

Yusuf also stepped out of Ember’s patient room and entered Sophia’s rest room.
