Young Master Vance Has An Enchanting Wife!-Chapter 417: Is It Him?

"Really? Which ward is he in? Help me over to see him now." Heather Holt let out a sigh of relief when May Morgan said Justin Grant was fine, and she quickly pulled May along.

May didn’t dare let Heather go see Justin Grant, in case she saw him still unconscious, she feared Heather might faint herself.

"Auntie, you can’t go over right now. Let’s wait until Victor handles things over there, and then we’ll go see Uncle Grant, okay?"

May patiently coaxed her while personally feeding Heather some porridge from a servant’s bowl beside her: "Auntie, I had the servants at home specially prepare this porridge for you. Eat a bit first; don’t fall down yourself before we go to take care of Uncle Grant."

Looking at May’s gentle face, Heather felt warmed inside and suddenly her eyes grew moist: "Victor must have done some good deeds in his past life to marry such a wonderful girl like you." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

May felt a pang in her heart hearing this, and couldn’t help but confess with shame: "How can I be that good? I’m just a jinx; anyone who’s good to me ends up unlucky."

"Don’t look down on yourself like that, child. Many times, things are brought about by one’s own actions and are unrelated to others; it might just be a coincidence. You shouldn’t take everything upon yourself."

Feeling warmed by her words, May quickly thanked Heather: "Aunt Jennings, in this world, only you are sincerely good to me. Even my mother isn’t as good as you."

"Because you resemble my deceased daughter, and you’re so well-behaved and sensible..." Heather reached out to touch May’s face with a sigh: "Back then, when I knew about your condition, I was once afraid you’d bring harm to my son, but then I thought, life is all about seeking emotional support, isn’t it? When your Uncle Grant was such a rascal, so many people advised me not to be with him, saying there would be life-threatening dangers. But wasn’t I treated like a princess by him? I thought if I were to separate you two, given my son’s temperament, he might never marry another woman in this lifetime, right? He might even end up resenting us. If that truly happened, how would it be different from losing him?"

"Auntie, I promised Uncle Grant to stay and take care of you, and wait until Victor fully takes over the Grant Family business before deciding whether to leave, so I won’t be leaving during this period." May lifted her head, filled with gratitude, and told Heather.

Heather found May’s words somewhat peculiar. Why would Justin Grant tell her these things out of the blue? Wasn’t this like a farewell speech?

"When did your Uncle Grant tell you these things? How come I don’t know?" Heather stared at May’s face with a strange look.

May opened her mouth but suddenly realized it wasn’t the time to say these things, so she smiled and brushed her off: "A long time ago, back when I was making a fuss about breaking up with Victor, he probably feared I’d hurt Victor’s feelings, so he persuaded me."

"Oh, I see..." Though May’s explanation made sense, Heather still looked at her skeptically, not believing her entirely.

Afraid Heather would press deeper and she wouldn’t be able to answer, May hastily changed the topic: "Auntie, do you remember what happened last night? How could there be an assassination attempt out of nowhere?"

Mentioning this, Heather also looked puzzled: "I’m baffled too. That young, handsome man didn’t seem like a killer at all. Why would he suddenly wield a knife to injure me?"

Young and handsome?

May felt more and more puzzled, recalling Victor’s attitude when he mentioned the assassin. She suddenly felt a whirl of unease.

She had a bad premonition that something major was about to happen.

Meanwhile, Vincent had the hospital’s staff review all the surveillance footage and found the license plate of the car Adam Owens drove away in, then with the help of friends from the traffic bureau, tracked down the hospital where Heather was staying.

Knowing the hospital Adam came to was precisely the one where Heather resided, naturally, he thought of May.

Perhaps Adam drove over just to see May?

If that were true, then things would be simple.

Vincent thought for a moment and then couldn’t wait any longer and dialed May’s number: "May, is Adam there with you?"

"Adam? Why would Adam come looking for me?" May widened her eyes in surprise, the gloom in her heart suddenly growing a few shades darker.

Young, handsome, looking nothing like a killer—could the assassin Heather described be Adam?

No, it couldn’t be, could it? Adam and Victor have no grievances or enmity, and he doesn’t even know Heather or Justin. Why would he drive across Beldon City to kill someone?

It just doesn’t make any sense!

But, whether it was Heather’s description or Vincent’s comments just now, both were enough to indicate that Adam had indeed come last night.

"Why is this happening? May, wait for me. I’m driving over to see you right now!" Feeling increasingly uneasy about the situation, Vincent also couldn’t sit still and quickly advised May.

May felt things weren’t so simple, and from Victor’s sinister gaze earlier, she vaguely thought Vincent shouldn’t come, as coming would only complicate matters.

"You better not come. I’ll check the hospital surveillance myself."

May hastily advised Vincent and without another word, turned around and headed toward the hospital’s surveillance room.

When she arrived at the surveillance room, she requested to view the video surveillance from Heather’s room last night, but was unexpectedly told that the footage had already been taken by Victor, and the original tape was with him. So to find out the exact situation from last night, she’d have to go find Victor!

If Victor had taken the trouble to take the footage, he must surely have a greater purpose, but what was his purpose? If it was merely a common assassin, why go through all this trouble?

May thought for a moment and quickly pulled out her phone, found Adam’s photo from WeChat, and showed it to the surveillance room staff for a look.

"Excuse me, was this the man who attempted to assassinate Ms. Holt last night?"

Last night, when Victor reviewed the video, this staff member was present, so he vaguely remembered the man’s appearance. Because Adam’s physique was particularly striking, and his appearance was unparalleled, he had a deep impression.

"Yes, it’s this guy. At that time, I even thought, such a handsome guy came to be a killer? This man looked noble from head to toe, not at all like the sinister type, let alone a killer. Besides, he’s ridiculously unprofessional as an assassin. He just went in and stabbed, without any technique, didn’t even wear a mask."

May speechlessly looked at the verbose staff member, said nothing else, took her phone, and turned around to leave the surveillance room.
