In the hospital.

Ben felt his heart skip a beat and had a bad feeling. 

He covered his chest with a blank expression on his face. How long had it been since he last felt this way? 

“Ben, the three–day deadline is up,” Leo said from the side. “Have you decided whether you want to get a divorce or give her the shares?” 

Ben suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and took out a divorce agreement expressionlessly. 

Susan had already signed her name on the divorce agreement. 

Although Ben hadn’t signed his name on it yet, no one thought that Ben wouldn’t. 

Leo took a look and felt a little regretful that he couldn’t get any more benefits out of it, but he still said reluctantly. “Okay. You should settle the divorce as soon as possible.” 

“Ben,” Isabella, who was next to him, asked tentatively, “Will I be attending your wedding soon?” 

Ben glanced at her and said indifferently. “Who knows?” 

He didn’t deny it directly. 

Isabella was excited immediately. 

“Ben! Is it Monica? You’re getting married again?” Leo asked Ben curiously. 

“Who knows?” Ben replied again calmly. 

Leo understood immediately. He replied with a smile, “It’s basically settled then. As your younger brother, seeing that my business has yet to pick up, I can’t afford to give you a gift. I’ll just give you a few words of congratulations 

for now.” 

“Why are you congratulating him? It is not confirmed yet.” Isabella’s voice became sharp suddenly. 

Leo looked at her in confusion. “So what if it’s not confirmed yet? Why are you so agitated?” 

Realizing that she had lost her composure, Isabella coughed a few times and said, “I’m sorry, I… I’m just too shocked.‘ 

“What’s there to be shocked about?” Leo looked at her strangely. 

Isabella smiled perfunctorily and said nothing.

Just then, a joyful voice rang out. 

“Ben, I’m here.” Monica was dressed brightly and came happily. 

over to 

She walked over to Ben and held his hand. 

Ben resisted the urge to push her away and didn’t move. 

Isabella’s face fell immediately. 

“Ben, why did you call Ms. Lynn over?” Leo asked curiously. 

Monica said coquettishly, “I heard that Mrs. Landor was hospitalized, so I came to visit her myself. After all, she is Ben’s mother and my elder too.” 

Isabella couldn’t help asking, “Is it the proper way to dress like this to see a patient?” 

Monica’s outfit was suitable for attending a gathering of socialites, but it was obviously a little out of place if she was coming to visit someone at the hospital. 

Monica said matter–of–factly, “I’m dressed well, and Mrs. Landor would be happy to see me. Maybe she’ll recover from her illness then.” 

“Mom is in a vegetable now. She can’t see you!” Isabella couldn’t stand it anymore and said. 

“Oh, how did she become a vegetable?” Monica was shocked. “It’s so sad. If I become a vegetable, I’d rather die.” 

“What do you mean?” Leo got angry immediately. 

Even though he never respected his mother much, he couldn’t help but take Monica’s words as an insult. 

Monica didn’t think too much about it. She was plain stupid. Seeing that Leo was angry, she couldn’t help but say as if she was wronged, “I… I didn’t say anything.” 

Leo was livid. 

“Monica doesn’t mean it, so don’t take it to heart,” Ben said indifferently. 

His words made Isabella livid. 

“That’s right. Don’t take it to heart, Monica said happily. 

Isabella clenched her fists, her nails digging deep into her flesh. 

She couldn’t stand Monica. 

She couldn’t bear seeing her for another minute.

If she could get rid of Susan, she would definitely be able to get rid of Monica as well. 

However, she had to act fast. 

Otherwise, it would not be easy for her to make a move when they remarried. 

“Don’t just stand there. Let’s go to the ward and have a look,” Ben said as he shook off Monica’s hand carelessly and took the lead to walk into the ward. 

Leo and Isabella hurried after him. 

In the ward. 

Penelope was still lying on the bed, looking like she was on her deathbed. 

Numerous instruments were connected to her brain and heart, monitoring her condition. 

Leo put on an act and asked the nurse a few questions before finding an excuse to slip away. 

Suddenly! 

The readings of the monitoring instruments changed suddenly. 

The instrument connected to her brain suddenly lit up with a green light and made a sharp noise. 

Leo jumped in fright. “What… what’s going on?” 

The nurse was pleasantly surprised. “The patient’s brain has a huge fluctuation.” 

“What does that mean?” Leo asked. 

“That is to say, the patient may wake up soon.” The nurse pressed the bell in surprise. 

After a while, a large group of physicians came in. 

After a simple check–up, everyone was amazed by Penelope’s progress. 

One of the physicians said, “It’s a miracle that she can wake up in such a short time after suffering such a serious injury.” 

Another physician said, “This case is too special. I must record it carefully.” 

A third physician said, “If this goes on, the patient should wake up by the evening at the latest!” 

The last physician said, “This is amazing.” 

The more shocked the physicians were, the unhappier Isabella became.

Didn’t they say that unless there was a miracle, Penelope would never wake up? 

But how could Penelope regain consciousness soon? 

If Penelope woke up and testified against her… 

Isabella suddenly felt a chill down her spine. 

If Penelope woke up, it would be the end of her! 

No. She couldn’t let Penelope regain consciousness. 

However, at this moment, with so many physicians and nurses around Penelope, not to mention that Ben and Leo were also there, how could she have a chance to make a move? 

Isabella became increasingly nervous and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. 

She kept telling herself to calm down. 

“I can think of a way. 

“I can do it!” She assured herself. 

“Isabella, what’s wrong? Why do you look so nervous?” Leo looked at her strangely. 

Isabella forced a smile. “I… I am too happy.” 

Leo looked at her affectionately. “Mom used to bully you all the time. When she wakes up and finds out that you lost your child to protect her, she’ll be very sorry for what she has done to you.” 

Isabella didn’t dare to respond and only nodded her head in a hurry. 

The physicians stayed for about an hour. 

Then, a physician connected Penelope to a new machine, and said with a smile, “This is the latest monitoring Instrument for brain waves. You see, there is a horizontal line here. Now the degree of brain waves of Mrs. Landor 

is around 70 or 80. When it reaches the value of 100, she can wake up at any time. I estimate that this process may last for five or six hours, but it is also possible that it can reach 100 immediately. So, from now on, one of you must stay here and watch over her. When the reading reaches 100, you should ring the bell immediately. Do you understand?” 

Leo agreed. 

When the physicians were about to leave, suddenly, a physician thought of something, turned around, and said, “Remember, press the bell immediately to get us here as soon as the reading reaches 100. Don’t touch the machine at will, especially the red button of this machine. If you press this button, the instrument will produce waves of stimulation to the brain. This is only for patients with no brainwave reaction. For patients like Mrs. Landor

who are about to wake up, such stimulation is fatal.” 

“Fatal?” Isabella’s eyes flashed and she asked subconsciously. 

“Yes.” The physician said casually, “Maybe she will become a vegetable again, and she will never regain consciousness then.” 

After that, the physicians closed the door and left. 

Only a nurse was left to take care of Penelope. 

Isabella’s eyes lingered on the red button for a while, and she already had an idea in her mind. 

She already had a way to prevent Penelope from regaining consciousness. 

Now, the first thing she needed to do was to send the others away. 

Then, she needed someone to take the blame for her. 

As for the scapegoat…. 

Isabella shot a sinister glance at Monica, who looked bored. 

She was the perfect scapegoat. 

In that case, the only thing Isabella needed to do now was to send everyone away. 

Isabella thought for a moment and said gently, “Leo, Penelope will wake up in five or six hours. You and Ben are both busy with work. There’s no need for you to waste your time here. You can go back to work first. Ms. Lynn and I will stay here and watch over Penelope. I’ll inform you when she is about to wake up.” 

Leo was already getting impatient to stay in the hospital. Hearing Isabella’s suggestion, he couldn’t wait to agree. 

He had an appointment with a friend to play golf today. How could he waste his time here? 

“Isabella is right. We still have work to do. We shouldn’t stay here. Ben, let’s go now,” Leo said confidently. 

Ben glanced at Monica. 

“Ben, let Ms. Lynn stay on your behalf,” Isabella said gently. 

Monica was in a hurry to show her value, “Sure. I’ll stay.” 

Ben didn’t say anything else and left with Leo. 

After Ben and Leo left, Isabella found another excuse to send the nurse away.

Only she and Monica were left in the ward. 

Monica was on her phone in boredom, looking careless. 

Isabella could not help but smile. 

What a stupid woman. 

If Monica wouldn’t take the blame, who would? 

Isabella glanced at the instrument. 

Penelope’s brain fluctuations were rising at a very slow speed. 

But it was indeed rising. 

Isabella narrowed her eyes, wondering when she should take action. 

All of a sudden, Penelope’s steady brainwaves began to rise sharply at an amazing speed. 

In just a few seconds, it had exceeded 100. 

Isabella widened her eyes in shock. 

She remembered what the physician had said. 

v time! 

If the reading exceeded 100, Penelope might wake up at any 

It meant that she could wake up any time now! 

“Oh, it has already past a hundred.” Monica also noticed the reading. She stood up and walked over to take a closer look at the machine curiously. 

As soon as she walked up to the machine, someone grabbed her hand tightly and pressed it down desperately. 

Monica was caught off guard and her hand was pressed down on the red button. 

With another strong push, she was forced to press the button. 

An ear–piercing alarm sounded in the ward. 

Monica was stunned. She looked at Isabella in shock and asked, “What… what are you doing?” 

Although she was not very smart, she still remembered that the physician said that the red button could not be pressed. 

But Isabella took her hand to press the button deliberately.

Isabella didn’t say anything and just looked at Monica gloomily. 

Monica suddenly felt a chill up her spine: She looked at Isabella in shock and said, “You… you don’t want Penelope to w 

wake up? You did it on purpose.” 

Isabella looked at her and gave her a strange smile. “No, it wasn’t me. You, Ms. Lynn, were careless and accidentally pressed this red button to cut off the possibility of Mrs. Landor waking up.” 

“What? I was careless? It was you…” Monica was stunned. 

Before she could finish her words, the door was suddenly pushed open. 

Ben and Leo stood at the door, supporting Old Mr. Landor from both sides.
