Chapter 480: 480 Kindness

Thanking and bidding the Rivas, Alvin chose to leave by air to avoid wasting time on a long road journey or any possible threat.

Zane faintly gasped when Anya's mobile rang as soon as he switched it on. Flinching at the whirling sound of the helicopter blades, he tugged on Anya's hand and displayed the mobile screen, "Mommy, it's Little Linus." He had to shout for him to be audible. He wasn't sure if he should answer the call.

Unintentionally, Anya glanced at Alvin as Linus would prefer to reach Alvin if anything was important. She answered the call once they entered the Rivas hospital building. "Linus!?"

[Sister-in-law, Brother Liam is on hold. He was asking for your contact number. Why didn't he ask Bro?] He was suspicious of Liam.

Anya glanced at Alvin again who was listening to the doctors about his staff's condition and recovery. Why do people think she can convince Alvin?

Even if she could persuade Alvin, how could they assume she would support others over Alvin?

Alvin does listen to her and compromises sometimes. That doesn't mean he will agree with everything she says.

[Sister-in-law!?] Linus probed when the call was silent. [Did something happen?] If he didn't have his start-up, he would be helping Alvin, and be up-to-date. But Alvin doesn't include him anymore so that he could focus on his start-up.

Anya sighed silently. One was a step-brother who grew up with Alvin. Another one was a cousin who hardly gets to meet Alvin. Yet, Liam failed to understand Alvin. She liked the rapport between the cousins.

Instead of sharing the contact details, she asked, "Could you please put us on a conference call?"

[Sure.] After a brief moment, Anya heard Linus speak again, [Brother Liam, Sister-in-law is in the line.] Then he fell silent as if he wasn't on the line.

Anya wasn't ready to hear any lengthy emotional speech. She probably would have heard him if she hadn't overheard Liam pushing the blame on Alvin.

She spoke without giving Liam a chance to utter anything, "Mr. Matthews, I'm aware of the situation. We will meet you once we return to Narnia." She ended the call, leaving Liam edgy as the shareholders meeting was on the next day and he didn't know when they would return.

She quickly typed a message to Linus, [Don't worry about all these.]

Alvin nodded and thanked the doctors before turning to his wife. He could guess the intention of Liam but Anya.

Will she stop him if Casper had a real heart attack?

He wasn't quite sure. She detests businessmen when they do anything illegal and covers it up using their power and resources. At the same time, she was the same woman who was sad by knowing the Matthews family was irredeemable.

Anya met his cognac eyes, staring into her eyes while patiently waiting for her to speak her mind. She was drawn to his solitariness despite having many people around him, his maturity at a young age, his passion for his dream, and his patience when he was teaching her. He was still the same.

He had changed his plan against Matthews industries to be helpful for her mission. He changed the plan again for Liam, respecting Liam as a brother who stood with him in the Matthews mansion.

Whereas Casper had become the monster who killed four men for his motive. So she didn't think of stopping Alvin even once.

She had given many chances for Casper. She even spoke to him and failed in her efforts. She wasn't going to think a heart attack could change Casper. She wasn't going to watch Casper hurt more people fearing Alvin.

She rolled her eyes, "I may be kind but a fool." She has learned the hard way that too much kindness is harmful. She wasn't going to let Casper abuse their compassion.

Yes, she was going to drop by the hospital irrespective of whether the heart attack was real or fake. If it was real, she would wish for his recovery. If it was fake, she wanted Liam to learn it and toughen up for his daughter. There won't be his parents or a secretary to hold his hand and guide him all his life.

She softly shrugged her shoulders, "I don't mind watching a small live drama."

Alvin shook his head in resignation. She wasn't going to watch drama, instead, she would scare the crap out of the doctors just with her cold stares.

"Momma…" Zane ran over and held Anya's hand, "I want to go with you and Chipmunk Monster." He had heard they were visiting Alvin's staff who were injured.

Rob helplessly looked at Alvin, after failing to keep the little man busy.

Putting the face mask on, Anya held Zane's hand and followed the two men. The duo noticed Alvin and Rob treating the archaeologists cordially unlike mere workers. Even the three men were happy to see Alvin and spoke cheerfully.

They dropped by the archaeological site. Anya looked through the police investigation process and instructed the legal team when Alvin had a meeting with Shawn Rivas on how to handle the situation.

Alvin let the Rivas Industries deal with Arrow Trucking company as they wanted. The Arrow Trucking company would pay for the losses at the archaeological site as they had taken the restricted route.

Shawn Rivas let Alvin handle the shooters and Casper to avoid complicating their situation and wasting their time.

At the hospital, in Narnia.

Worried, Liam watched his father laying on the hospital bed, connected to many devices. The beeps from the monitoring devices were increasing his anxiety level.

He heard the doctor say Casper was briefly awake and dozed off due to weakness. He wanted to convince his father to stop worrying about the company and focus on his recovery. Nevertheless, a nurse mentioned that the medicine was of high dose, and Casper could be in and out of consciousness and be in a daze.

The butler spoke after some time, "Young Master, why don't you go home and rest a bit? I will stay beside the Master and take care of him." He paused and added, "Young Madam will be worried without you."

Liam knew he could do nothing there. He didn't know what Alvin was up to. He feared that Alvin could be angry at him and start looking for foreign capitalists.

With innumerable growing thoughts, he chose to drop by the Matthews mansion for his wife and daughter.

The butler who waited for Liam to leave made sure Liam got in the elevator. He peeked out of the window until the car drove away from the hospital premises.

He rushed to Casper and reported, "Master, Young Master has left the hospital."

The next second, the calm sleeping face contoured in irritation. Casper pulled his oxygen mask and threw it aside. He pulled other wires and tossed them away.

Casper sat up and breathed long and deep. His lips were twitching in anger and disgust over his act. He couldn't believe that he was putting on an act to escape the laws.

Well, he did faint in the study room but it wasn't a heart attack. He was overwhelmed and feared. He hadn't eaten anything and was dehydrated after consuming alcohol in large amounts.

He had woken up when the butler sprinkled water over his face. He quickly cleaned up the evidence of his spare mobile and the contact number he used. Then he cooked up the plan because Anya was too smart to trap him under the laws with tiny clues.

Well, he forgot that he was creating more lies and accomplices.
