Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 497: Ayan Awakens

Mrs. Anna’s words had just fallen when Samuel Dalton opened his eyes.

"...Mother."

He called out hoarsely.

Mrs. Anna’s eyes brightened, tears accumulating in her eyes, "Alessio, you’ve finally awakened."

"Schedule the surgery immediately."

The attending physician noticed Samuel Dalton was awake and quickly instructed his assistant to arrange the surgery.

"Play it again."

Samuel Dalton spoke with difficulty.

He seemed to grasp at something like a lifeline, pleading with Mrs. Anna to play the voice message from Selena Kensington again.

Mrs. Anna silently clicked to play the voice message once more.

Selena Kensington’s voice echoed again.

Listening to her voice, the tension in Samuel Dalton’s expression gradually softened.

A slight smile appeared on his lips.

The joy in his heart blossomed like fireworks.

After listening, he looked at Mrs. Anna, "Go outside, Mother, I will survive."

His tone was somewhat weak and hoarse, but Mrs. Anna discerned the seriousness in his words.

Upon hearing Samuel Dalton’s words, Mrs. Anna knew what to do next. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

She nodded, "Okay, Mother will wait for you outside."

Then, Mrs. Anna turned to the attending physician and said, "I’ll leave the rest to you."

The attending physician nodded, "Don’t worry, Madam."

After saying this, Mrs. Anna and Evan left the operating room.

Once they exited, the "In Surgery" sign lit up on the operating room door.

Outside the operating room, Mrs. Anna’s gaze turned fierce as she looked at the people nearby, "Evan, gather Colombo’s current elite swiftly, I want the Smith Family to pay their blood debt!"

Daring to plot against her son, Mrs. Anna would not let them off so easily!

The black-clad man named Evan’s eyes steeled, "Yes, Madam!"

Before Samuel Dalton returned to the Colombo Family, Mrs. Anna was the leading force of the Colombo Family.

Though she was a woman, her methods were even more ruthless than men.

The more beautiful a woman, the more dangerous.

This saying was proven true in Mrs. Anna.

After Samuel Dalton returned to the Colombo Family, Mrs. Anna intentionally withdrew to the background, handing over many matters to Samuel Dalton, gradually leading people to forget that Mrs. Anna was once a fearsome figure.

However, the Smith Family’s plot against Samuel Dalton reignited Mrs. Anna’s fierce spirit.

The next day, Selena Kensington awakened and still hadn’t received any message from Samuel Dalton.

She felt a bit uneasy and tried calling back.

But the response was that the phone was turned off.

Selena Kensington bit her lip lightly, hoping... it wasn’t as she feared.

While she was worrying, Hugh Kensington sent a message.

[Sister’s Little Cotton-Padded Jacket]: Sis, we’ve reached outside The Northern Realm.

Only then did Selena Kensington calm her anxious mind slightly and reply to Hugh Kensington.

[Selie Stays Slim]: Okay, remember to contact me if there’s anything.

[Sister’s Little Cotton-Padded Jacket]: Hmm.

Today is the first day of the New Year.

After getting up and washing, Selena Kensington went downstairs.

Just as she reached downstairs, she saw Sterling Norwood and Mr. Norwood walking in from the main villa entrance.

They seemed to have just returned from morning exercise.

"Selie is awake? Perfect timing, let’s have breakfast together."

Mr. Norwood called out.

Selena Kensington nodded with a smile, "Okay."

Then Mr. Norwood went to change his clothes in the loft on the right.

She approached and asked Sterling Norwood, "Did you go morning exercising with Grandpa?"

Sterling Norwood nodded slightly, "I’m going up to change clothes."

"Go ahead."

After Mr. Norwood and Sterling Norwood changed their clothes, Selena Kensington was already waiting for them in the dining room.

After breakfast, Mr. Norwood planned to return to the loft to rest.

While Selena Kensington intended to continue watching "XX Apartment" in the living room.

She noticed Sterling Norwood wanted to leave when she switched to "XX Apartment."

Selena Kensington quickly grabbed his sleeve, "Where are you going?"

She asked.

"..."

Sterling Norwood paused, "I’m heading to the training camp."

Selena Kensington pouted, "Fine then."

Then she released his sleeve.

Sterling Norwood looked at Selena Kensington and smiled, ruffling her hair lightly, "I’ll be back soon."

Selena Kensington huffed lightly, "Sure, you just don’t want to watch dramas with me."

Sterling Norwood replied helplessly, "I really have something to do."

Selena Kensington knew that Sterling Norwood wouldn’t lie to her.

So she pretended to be a little annoyed and let him go.

Afterwards, Selena Kensington snuggled into the sofa and began watching the drama.

She had only watched for a short while when her phone rang.

Selena Kensington paused and picked up her phone to check.

It was a call from Samuel Dalton.

Her eyes brightened, and she quickly answered the call.

"Samuel!"

As soon as the call connected, Selena Kensington exclaimed urgently.

Upon hearing Selena Kensington’s slightly anxious voice, Samuel Dalton, lying on the hospital bed with a very pale face, slowly curved his lips.

"Sis."

He ensured his voice sounded normal before daring to call Selena Kensington.

Therefore, Selena Kensington did not notice anything amiss.

Seeing his tone was as usual, Selena Kensington breathed a sigh of relief.

She began chatting, "Were you busy yesterday? I called, but you didn’t answer."

Samuel Dalton paused and gestured to the nearby subordinates.

The subordinates noticed Samuel Dalton’s signal and promptly exited the hospital room.

When they had left, Samuel Dalton spoke to Selena Kensington, "I was a bit busy last night, then my phone ran out of battery and turned off. Sorry, Sis, for making you worry."

The young man’s voice was light and gentle.

Selena Kensington smiled lightly, "It’s good that you’re okay."

Then, she chatted a while longer with Samuel Dalton.

Her words mainly revolved around being careful and wishing him a Happy New Year.

After a while, Selena Kensington wrapped up the conversation.

"Okay, Samuel, let’s talk next time."

"...Okay."

Samuel Dalton, though reluctant, restrained himself and waited for Selena Kensington to hang up.

Once she ended the call, the tenderness in Samuel Dalton’s eyes vanished.

Only endless coldness remained.

He pressed a button.

Then, the subordinates outside the hospital room entered.

"Young Master."

They stood respectfully by Samuel Dalton’s hospital bed.

"Where are the Smith Family’s people?"

Samuel Dalton’s gaze was bleak and deep, like a venomous snake, cold and vicious.

The Smith Family was an established family on the Isle of Cyrin.

Initially, they always operated discreetly without offending the Colombo Family.

Therefore, the Colombo Family tolerated their existence on the Isle of Cyrin.

But Samuel Dalton recently received word that the Smith Family entertained rebellious thoughts.

Thus, he arranged a sweeping operation.

This was originally meant to be a simple clearing mission, but the Smith Family unexpectedly bypassed the Colombo Family’s intelligence network and found external support.
