Chapter 1425 He’s Alive
The meeting ended soon after that, and everyone seemed like they were in a hurry to
leave the house. Soon enough, Remus' family was the only one left in the large Sawyer
Residence. Stefania sat on the couch, still fuming from what had happened earlier. "I can't
believe they would do such a thing to their younger generations. They're just too much!"
she hissed through gritted teeth.
Tessa was worried that Stefania would get too worked up, so she hurried over to comfort
Stefania. "You should be more mindful of your health. There's no need to get so angry now
that they've been captured. They're about to pay for what they did," Tessa uttered.
However, Stefania only seemed more emotional after hearing Tessa's words. "What's the
use of capturing them? They can't bring Kieran back." She sighed. She sounded like she
was close to tears.
Tessa didn't know how to comfort Stefania at that point—she felt saddened by what
Stefania said as well. The best Tessa could do then was to quietly stay by Stefania's side.
When Nicholas sensed the sorrow in the two women, he surprised them with a shocking
piece of information. "Actually… Kieran's still alive."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBoth Tessa and Stefania were too stunned to speak for a while, but Stefania was the first
to react. She turned to stare at him. "Are you serious? Is your brother still alive?" Both
Remus and Tessa shifted their gazes to Nicholas as well.
"Yeah. He's still alive." Nicholas nodded.
Remus, who was a smart man, was the first to understand the whole situation. "So, you
brothers teamed up to plan this whole thing, huh?" Remus seemed rather displeased as he
glanced at Nicholas.
Nicholas didn't reject Remus' hypothesis. "We didn't exactly plan it all out, but we just
went along with the situation," he explained.
"What's the plan? What's going on here?" Stefania asked anxiously.
Nicholas explained everything from the start. "The accident wasn't staged. We managed
to find Kieran after we sent out men to search for him that day, but Kieran was in bad
shape, so I told someone to secretly send Kieran to the hospital for emergency treatment.
You know what happened after that," he uttered.
"So… We were all worrying for nothing?" she was furious.
Remus seemed rather angry as well. Even Tobias felt the need to lecture Nicholas. "How
could both of you keep such a huge secret to yourselves? Your grandpa and your mom
were so worried about Kieran. Some of us nearly fainted," he muttered.
Nicholas remained calm in the face of his family members' annoyance. "We didn't tell you
anything as we wanted Granduncle Joseph and Adam to lower their guards. I doubt I
would've been able to catch them red-handed if they hadn't seen the genuine emotions
that came from Mom and Grandpa."
"Well, that's still no excuse to hide things from us." Stefania shot Nicholas an angry look.
Tessa, on the other hand, was more empathic about Nicholas' decision to keep this a
secret. She took one glance at the sour looks on all the elders' faces before she decided
that she should help her husband and tried to change the topic. "You mentioned that
Kieran was in bad shape. How is he now? Where is he? Can we visit him?" she asked.
As expected, Stefania and the rest of the family were distracted by Tessa's question. They
all started asking to see Kieran.
Nicholas agreed to this suggestion, and he ordered Edward to get the car. Soon enough,
the whole family was on the way to the hospital where Kieran was staying. Kieran had
already been awake for a few days by then, and he was starting to regain his energy and

When Stefania entered the room, she found the young man playing with his phone on his
bed. Kieran greeted his parents excitedly when he saw them. "Hey Mom, hey Dad. You
guys are here!" he cheered. However, what he got in response wasn't their care but a firm
slap from his mother.
She couldn't contain the rage that she felt when she thought about how agonized she had
been after the news of Kieran's death. The thought of herself crying while Kieran was
playing some mobile games in bed made her furious. "You brat. Were you trying to scare
me? Why didn't you tell us anything if you're still alive? Do you know how sad your father,
your grandfather, and I were? We struggled so much the past few days because we
thought you were dead," she cried.
Kieran felt a mixture of guilt and sadness when he heard his mother. He hunched his
shoulders while pouting and gave Stefania a pitiful look. "I'm injured. Why are you still
hitting me?"
"Well, you deserve to be hit. Let's see if you have the guts to lie to me after this!" she
hissed.
