Chapter 1776 An Emergency
Ian spoke up after they all sat down. “I’ll give a call to Sean in a while. If everything’s fine at the hospital, then we’ll
leave the day after tomorrow. You guys will have to start packing.”
Aurora and Cindy didn’t bring much with them—they had packed light since they both knew that they wouldn’t be
staying for too long. Aurora nodded. “I bet the Morgan Family will have a lot to deal with after this situation, so it’s
best that we leave soon in order not to get involved.” Just the fact that Bryce had locked Leah in the basement
would definitely create a huge commotion once the public found out about it. Once that happened, Ian would
definitely get involved if he stayed around, so it was the right choice to leave as soon as they could.
The Morgan Family’s bad deeds had been dragging Ian down from the start, and it seemed like they had no
intention of setting Ian free even as they were nearing the end of their troubles. I don’t think it’d be enough

with money. For example, from now onward, I know that I’ll feel guilty and self-critical whenever I recall the things
that Leah said. I’d never be able to make it up to Ian no matter how much money I give him. I’ll have to spend the
rest of my life fixing my wrongs to Ian, and Bryce will have to do the same.
That evening, Ian gave Sean a call to ask if there were any other issues at the Morgan Family that had to do with
him. Ian added that he would leave if he had no other business there. Sean was rather surprised to hear this—he
hadn’t expected Ian to leave so soon. Sean figured that Ian would only leave after the Morgan Family had
completely resolved and dealt with everything.
There was a hint of amusement in Ian’s tone as he spoke. “The rest of these issues have got nothing to do with me,
so there’s no point in me staying here,” he uttered.
Sean paused for a moment when he realized that Ian’s words made sense. I’ve always admired how easy it is for
Ian to let go, Sean thought. If only I could do the same. If only I could go on and live my life without caring about all
these things. But I can’t do the same as my circumstances differ from Ian’s. I’ve lived with the Morgan Family for so
long—I’m indebted to all that Bryce has done for me. I can’t possibly pull away when the family is facing such
turbulent times. I have no choice but to stay here and deal with everything, he decided.
“If you’ve decided to leave, I think you should drop by and pay him one last visit. Dad hasn’t been feeling well
recently, and he keeps talking about incidents that happened in the past. I don’t know if he’s just reminiscing old
memories or if he feels some guilt toward his past actions,” Sean uttered after some consideration.
That was exactly what Ian had intended to do—he had already decided that he would pay Bryce one last visit.
Perhaps he wasn’t entirely eager to see Bryce, but he had to do it to ensure that the media wouldn’t have anything
to say, at least. In the end, Ian agreed to visit the next afternoon.
However, just one hour after Ian got off the phone with Sean, he received another call from his brother. This time,
Sean sounded much more worried than before. He told Ian to rush to the hospital, and he explained that something

was wrong with Bryce. Sean didn’t tell Ian what exactly the problem was—Sean sounded like he was driving, and he
ended the call after a few sentences.
Initially, Ian had planned to bring Cindy and Aurora to visit Logan, but he decided that they wouldn’t be able to
make it after he received Sean’s call. Ian gave Logan a brief call to explain his situation, and Logan naturally didn’t
protest upon hearing Ian’s reason and simply told Ian to prioritize his own matters. “We can always meet when we
have time in the future,” Logan offered.
After the call was over, Ian hurried to get changed before he, Cindy, and Aurora rushed to the hospital. When Ian
arrived at the ward, he saw Bryce on the bed with an oxygen mask over his face. He was practically motionless.
The doctors had just managed to resuscitate Bryce, and Sean was seated beside the bed with an especially stern
look on his face.
“What is it? What happened just now?” Ian took a peek at Bryce before he turned to Sean.
Sean looked up at his brother before letting out a sigh. “I don’t know what happened. The nurse just said that he
had a seizure and that his heart stopped after that. The doctors just saved him, but they say that his condition isn’t
looking good.”
