"Grandma!"

Francis's brows were furrowed so tightly, a rare spark of urgency flickered in his eyes, "You can't talk about

Gilbert like that!"

"During all these years at the Johnsons, Gilbert didn't schfor anything from us. If he were that sort of

person, he could've easily claimed everything for himself while | was out cold those four years. But he didn't!"

Over those years, he diligently managed everything for the Johnsons.

To outsiders, he was the powerful figure steering the Johnsons, but in reality, he was nothing short of a loyal

worker!

"He truly sees us as family, treats you like a grandmother, andlike his own brother! Speaking of him this

way, you're hurting him deeply!"

Sylvia was speechless.

She couldn't refute those words.

"Ah..."

The old lady sobbed, suddenly covering her eyes.

"What do you wantto do then? Just the thought of my Gilbert being gone... and him taking Gilbert's place, it

just breaks my heart... Gilbert, my dear Gilbert! Sob..."

Chasing after Gilbert was definitely not an option now.

Upon leaving the hospital room, Francis dialed Gilbert's number.

But...

[The number you have dialed is currently switched off. Please try again later.]

His brother's phone was never out of reach. Clearly, he had turned it off himself.

"Sawyer." Francis gestured for Sawyer to cover.

"Mr. Francis, what do you need?"

"I need you to inform Charles, along with Allen and Abel - and you, to go look for Gilbert. We have to find him!"

"Understood." Sawyer stiffened, quickly affirming and setting off.

"What's going on?"

Caroline arrived, concerned for Sylvia. Seeing Francis in distress, she knew something was up.

"Is Grandma not doing well?"

"It's not that."

Francis shook his head, sighing deeply, "Grandma drove Gilbert away, and now | can't get in touch with him."

"What?"

Caroline was taken aback, "She did...?"

She harbored quite a bit of

resentment towards Sylvia, but catching a glimpse of Francis's

troubled face, she held back, silently criticizing Sylvia in her thoughts.

Sylvia was heartless!

Even if Gilbert wasn't a blood relative of the Johnsons, he had honored their kindness with years of loyalty. The

value he added to the Johnson family over the years, didn't that

count for anything?

To put it bluntly, if it weren't for Gilbert, the Johnsons would've been history when Francis was in a coma!

And Sylvia had the nerve to turn her back on him, just like that!

"Don't worry."

Mindful of Caroline's well-being, Francis tried to reassure her, "I've already sent Sawyer and Charles to look for

him." After a moment's thought, he asked her, "Can you think of any place Gilbert might go?"

"um..."

Caroline furrowed her brows, hesitating before suggesting, "Have you checked with Sherilyn? Maybe he went to

see her?"

Reminded by her, Francis realized,

Wool

"Right, totally forgot about Sherilyn... You're more attentive. I'll give her a call right away."

He immediately picked up his phone and dialed Sherilyn's number.

But she didn't pick up.

Caroline checked the time, "She's probably on set filming. Gilbert might have gone to see her, but | can't be

sure." "The movie you had a cameo in recently?"

"Yeah, that one."

"Got it."

Francis put away his phone, "I'll head to the set to find her. Why don't you go in and keep Grandma company?"

Caroline nodded, not forgetting to remind him, "Letknow if there's any news."

"Will do."

With that, Francis rushed off to the set to find Sherilyn.

"Big brother." Sherilyn, still in costume, was surprised to see him, "What brings you here? Is something wrong? Is

it Grandma...?" "No."

Francis shook his head, "Don't worry, Grandma's fine."
