Chapter 824 Corey listened in silence and continued down the stairs.
Elliot watched his retreating figure, shaking his head in resignation. Suddenly, the ant on his left hand from slicing fruit throbbed faintly,
Only then did Elliot remember his injury and went downstairs to find a servant to disinfect it and apply a discreet bandage. Two hours later, Noah and Howard arrived one after the other.
Noah immediately went to Albert's room to comprehensively examine his condition.
Sheena stayed by his side, occasionally assisting where needed.
After a tense half-hour, Noah and Sheena descended the stairs together.
Corey, Howard, Barbara, and Elliot were all seated on the sofa in the living room, waiting anxiouslyy Upon seeing them come down, Barbara stood up and asked, “Noah, how is he? Is there any hope?” Noah lowered his gaze and shook his head, solemnly explaining the examination results, “The head trauma from the last fall caused internal bleeding in the brain. Despite our efforts, the clot has spread, affecting vital nerves. His brain will soon cease to function, and given his age and frail condition, even surgery offers no chance of survival.”
A heavy silence descended upon the entire room after Noah's words. Sheena felt her legs go weak, almost unable to stand.
Elliot rushed forward and held her, comforting her in his arms.

However, despite these circumstances, Sheila was still contemplating an escape plan.
In the afternoon, Sheila was working in the fields when heavy rain suddenly poured down.
This rain came out of nowhere, pouring down heavily and rapidly.
Usually, during the day, Paul and John would be catching up on sleep.
Margaret, upon seeing the rain, sought shelter under a nearby tree.
Sheila was left alone to endure the downpour in the fields. She had hoped to tough it out for a while, as these sudden rains typically cleared up within half an hour.
Yet, it was different this time. The rain went on for several hours, relentless and unyielding, as if lamenting some injustice. Feeling overwhelmed, Sheila began to falter.
Margaret also found the rain strange.

With dinner time approaching, it would soon be time for Sheila's punishment after that. The two of them walked back, one behind the other, to their hut. Upon returning to the hut, they found Kye waiting at the door, holding a towel.

Margaret looked at him, pleasantly surprised.
“Well, when did you become so obedient?”
Kye chuckled awkwardly in response.
Sheila remained expressionless, busy cleaning her drenched hair. Suddenly, a muffled sound could be heard.
It was Margaret collapsing, falling into Kye’s arms.
