Rebirth Reclaiming Her Self by Fleur Delacour

Chapter 296 Try Asking Her
Joseph quickly set aside his work and gently urged Fanny to sit down before
questioning her in a gentle tone. “Why are you crying like this? Didn't you have a
good time yesterday?” He trusted Fanny's explanation that she had visited a
friend's house the day before, and he assumed that her tears were due to a
disappointing experience.
Fanny hastened to clarify herself. “No, that's not it. I was upset to see the
caretaker mistreating Mom when I visited her earlier. Joseph, why don't we
dismiss the caretaker and let me care for Mom instead?” Upon hearing this,
Joseph immediately pressed for details. “Did the caretaker mistreat Mom? What
exactly happened?” Despite his efforts to hire reliable help, it seemed like they
had failed to fulfill their duties properly.
“I witnessed the caretaker being rough while attending to mom, and when I
confronted her, she responded inappropriately...” Fanny recounted the events
tearfully. Her red eyes were filled with sorrow as she spoke.
Joseph's anger flared up at that moment, but he made sure not to direct it at
Fanny. “Fanny, don't worry. I will find a replacement for the caretaker,” he
assured her.
Fanny nodded. “I can look after mom. We don’t really need to rely on any
caretakers,” she suggested. However, as she spoke, she was overcome by a fit
of coughing. She bent her frail body to the side as she coughed.
Joseph reached out to support her. “Fanny, don’t concern yourself with the
hospital. Your health is the most important thing now, and you need to prioritize
self-care.”
-Fanny paused for a moment, and she looked as if she had awakened from a
daze. Her expression made her seem like she was frustrated for not taking better
care of herself. “When will Mom wake up, Joseph?” Her teary—eyes were filled
with hope as she spoke.
Joseph felt a pang of sorrow, and he comforted her by enveloping her in a tight
embrace. “The doctor has not provided a definite timeline for her recovery.” The
uncertainty surrounding their mother’s condition left them at a loss for what to do.
Moreover, although George was reluctant to divulge details, both Joseph and
Jonathan harbored suspicions that their father might be responsible for their
mother’s predicament. Hence, they confronted George about the incident that
prompted his call to the authorities the previous night. Although George did not
confess to any wrongdoing, both brothers braced themselves for the possibility.
Fanny departed in disappointment upon learning the truth.
Meanwhile, George, who was still at the hospital, seethed with resentment. Not
only had

James and Joseph jointly interrogated him, but James, who had left for work after
he didn’t get any answers, had the audacity to return during noontime. On top of
that, James was clearly keen to revisit Scarlet's incident with him.
“Are you meddling in my affairs, James?” George fumed. He felt offended by
James" lack of respect. When James noticed George's agitation, he continued
speaking in an assertive tone. “I am not interfering in your affairs, but if you are
involved in this matter, then this isn't just
about you.”
“What do you mean?” George was perplexed.
“If you were indeed involved in the incident, then there is only one way to make
sure that the police stop bothering you,” James stated bluntly. George looked as
if he was offended by James“ accusations at first, yet he couldn't help but
continue the conversation. “What's the solution? Even if I didn't do it, it's worth
knowing in case someone mistakenly accuses me.”
James chose not to expose him yet. “The solution lies in waking Mother. Her
testimony will prevent the family from falling apart. If Mother puts the blame on
Linda, who has gone mad, the police will cease their investigation, and you will
be free from further scrutiny.”
George slapped his thigh. “Exactly! Why don’t we wake her up right away!?"
“If we had a way, do you think we'd choose to delay this? The doctor also
mentioned that the chances of her waking up are slim, but there is still a
possibility.” James rubbed his temples. He felt exhausted listening to George's
authoritative tone. It wasn't just the company that was in disarray at that point—
even the family was in turmoil.
“Why did you come to me, then?” Upon hearing that the chances of Scarlet
waking up were slim, George felt irritated and a bit concerned that the police
would continue to bother him. about it. If they eventually found something
incriminating and pressed charges on him, it would be a major problem!
“You can get Angela to take a look at Mom. Angela cured Zacharias’ illness
before, so maybe she can help Mother too,” James suggested. James had
considered reaching out to Angela himself, but he had been too preoccupied
lately to find the time: Furthermore, Joseph had informed him that he had
attempted to persuade Angela, but she had declined. Angela probably wouldn't
listen to James anyway, and James figured that he didn’t want to face that
rejection.
“Angela again?” George felt irritated every time Angela’s name was mentioned.
The person they had kicked out of the family was thriving and becoming more
capable. That truly irked him. “Are you certain she can help?” George asked
skeptically.
“We have no choice but to give her a chance.” James didn’t provide a definitive
answer—he simply suggested that George consider it. Before George could
further contemplate this

matter, James stood up
to leave. “Alright, I need to attend to matters at the company. You take care of
yourself. You can recuperate slowly in the hospital while you think about how to
persuade Angela.”

Angela responded coldly. “So what?” George was infuriated by her composed
response. you have no conscience or sense of responsibility at all? She is your
mother! Your mother is now in a vegetative state. Can't you think of a way to
wake her up?” George shouted into the phone.
“Do you think I'm a fairy or a miracle worker? When someone gets into a coma,
isn't your first instinct to reach out to a doctor? Do you just want me to come up
with a solution?” Angela was almost amused by George.
“You were able to cure Zacharias, so why can’t you cure your mother?” George—
gritted his teeth. “Don’t you have any sense of responsibility at all?”
