My Poor Husband Is A Billionaire

Dazzling sunlight streamed in from the window. The ceiling was snow-white and spotless. The smell of disinfectant in the air was
strong.
“I think he’s awake!” Ethan heard Johanna’s excited voice. Then, he heard Beal’s voice.
“I’ll call the doctor. When Janet comes back from getting breakfast, I’m sure she’ll be really happy!”
The doctor came minutes later. He took out a small flashlight and checked Ethan’s pupils.
“He’s awake, which means that he’ll be fine. As for when he should be discharged from the hospital, it’ll depend on the wound’s
rate of recovery.”
After the doctor left, Johanna immediately approached Ethan’s bedside and asked worriedly, “How are you feeling? Are you in
pain? If you feel any discomfort, I’ll call our private doctor to check on you again.” E
than couldn’t believe his ears. Did he suffer from a head injury as well? Why did his mother-in-law suddenly care about him?
Before he could say anything, Beal handed him a glass of water. “I bet you’re thirsty. Here’s some water.”
Ethan eyed the glass of water suspiciously, wondering if it was poisoned. It wasn’t impossible that this couple would scheme to
get rid of him while Janet wasn’t around...
“Beal, you’re scaring him.”
Noticing the suspicion on Ethan’s face, Johanna pulled her husband’s hand away from Ethan. Then she cleared her throat and
said, “Thank you for saving our beloved daughter. In a way, it’s like you saved the two of us. Now that we’ve finally reunited with
Janet, we’d be destroyed if she was taken away from us.”
Although Johanna still put on airs, Ethan could tell that she was being sincere. It seemed that they were really ready to accept
their son-in-law.
Wondering if this was all an illusion, Ethan had to close his eyes and gather his bearings. He wouldn’t relax until Janet came
back.
“Dad, Mom, come and have some breakfast. I’ll take care of...”

With a tray of food in her hands, Janet walked in and looked at Ethan first even though she was talking to her parents. When she
saw that he was awake, her eyes lit up and she broke into a huge grin.
After Beal and Johanna left, Ethan narrowed his eyes suspiciously and mused, “Your parents were so mean to me before. Why
are they so kind to me all of a sudden?”
Janet peeled the lid off of the take-out bowl, and the delicious aroma of chicken soup wafted in the air.
“When you were still unconscious, they found out that you had saved me. My mother looked at you under a new light. It was as if
you were her own son,” Janet added in a half-joking tone. She scooped up a spoonful of soup, blew on it, and guided it to
Ethan’s lips.
“You were knocked out for a whole night. The doctor said that you must eat more to replenish your energy.” With his deep gaze
fixed on Janet, Ethan’s lips parted slightly to accept the spoonful of soup. Then he patted her thigh and said in a low voice,
“Totally worth it.”
Janet chuckled and shook her head helplessly. “You’re hurt, , so be careful. My mother’s right outside. If she sees you
misbehave, she will get angry again. It wasn’t easy for you to earn their favor, and you’ll have to keep earning it.”
Ethan coughed and glanced at the door to the ward nervously. Then, he became serious. “The ceiling of the cinema wouldn’t just
collapse for no reason. Did they release an official statement regarding the incident?”
Janet continued to feed him, but the light in her eyes dimmed slightly. “The matter’s still under investigation. There’s no
conclusive results yet. Mom told me that it was newly built, so the ceiling couldn’t have collapsed unless there was a major
construction flaw. So it’s all rather suspicious.”
“It was no accident,” Ethan said in a low voice, an imperceptible ruthlessness flashing in his eyes. Somebody had caused the
roof to collapse, just like how somebody had started the fire downstairs their apartment before. The incident was so serious that
it caused a sensation.
As long as Ethan investigated it thoroughly, he would find out who was behind this. In the following days, Ethan stayed in Barnes
for his recuperation. Meanwhile, he tasked Garrett with the investigation of this matter secretly.
