Chapter 991: Chapter 983: Second Brother in Trouble 4

Maxim Ford’s voice was hoarse: "Have you remembered anything?"

Tiana Thorne looked toward the corridor and said again, "Check the surveillance footage at home, and we’ll know if it’s my sleepwalking acting up."

At this moment, Tiana Thorne felt very uneasy, her breathing becoming rapid.

She didn’t know what had happened, but she was covered in blood, and her brother had come; something serious must have occurred.

At this time, Sean Thorne also gathered himself, speaking coldly, "Hurry and check the surveillance footage."

"Yes."

Quickly, the security retrieved the surveillance footage from the house tonight, copied it, and brought it to Tiana’s room.

Maxim Ford took it, opened it to watch.

The excerpted footage showed Tiana coming out.

She closed her eyes, walked back and forth in the corridor, as if something was commanding her to move forward, and when she reached the staircase, she opened her eyes, looking blankly around.

Afterward she went downstairs, then to the living room.

Sitting on the sofa, she used a fruit knife to peel an apple.

After peeling, she took both the apple and fruit knife out the door.

The knife handle was very distinctive, with a dragon totem; even though the surveillance footage wasn’t very clear, Maxim Ford recognized it instantly.

The handle and the knife in Julian’s chest were the same.

He took a deep breath harshly.

Tiana also realized something, looking back at him, holding his hand tightly: "Brother, did I hurt someone? Tell me, who did I hurt?"

Sean Thorne saw this, quickly came in, soothing her anxious heart: "Tiana, don’t worry, don’t worry, maybe it isn’t like that."

However, reality was very cruel.

The surveillance captured her returning hastily, then going upstairs, entering the room, shutting the door.

Maxim Ford was unwilling to tell her.

One was his brother, the other his sister, both equally dear to him.

He never imagined that such a fantastical event would happen to Tiana.

After contemplating for a while, shaking his head, refusing to believe.

Murmuring, finding reasons to convince himself: "A sleepwalker driving on the road, then having enough strength to find the way home..."

Tiana held his hand tightly, although reluctant to admit, some things are just like this.

"Brother, sleepwalkers can drive cars; in ’03, a nurse from Glimmerfall had sleepwalking, she drove her car at midnight, in 20-degree weather wearing a very thin nightgown, parked the car aside, and relieved herself at the intersection, when the police arrived, she was even violent toward them, afterward, she had no recollection of it."

This remark plunged Maxim Ford into an abyss.

If Tiana knew she hurt Julian while sleepwalking, would she still speak so calmly?

"Tiana, your claim doesn’t count, come with me to the hospital for a check-up, take a shower, I’ll wait outside."

Tiana looked at his cold demeanor, her heart suddenly ached, didn’t ask more, got out of bed, went to the bathroom.

Maxim Ford left the room, waited in the living room downstairs.

The maid was cleaning the room; even so, the bloody smell hadn’t completely disappeared.

"Young Mr. Ford, what exactly happened to my daughter?"

Maxim Ford looked up at him, not wanting him to worry, nor for Tiana to know about this, replied: "Tiana went out unconsciously, killed the neighbor’s sheep in the backyard, she might have wanted to make lamb stew for someone, don’t worry."

Hearing this, Sean Thorne calmed down, not as tense as before.

But Georgia Thorne felt something was amiss, asked in a low voice: "Did she really kill a sheep?"

Maxim Ford’s eyes turned cold, looking at her, exuding an oppressive and chilling aura, raising his eyebrows: "Otherwise, what does Miss Thorne think?"

Georgia Thorne was intimidated by his gaze, lowered her head, said no more.

In the bathroom.

Tiana was washing up, she had no memory of what had just occurred.

Yet her heart throbbed inexplicably.

Ring, ring, ring...

In the bedroom, her phone rang.

She quickly dried off, wrapped in a towel, and came out.

A chill approached, looking out the window, the rain intensified.

The phone screen kept flashing; she walked over quickly, picked up the phone, the caller ID read—Xiao Old Fourth.

It’s Fourth Brother.

Her anxious heart seemed to have found a place to anchor.

After connecting, she spoke softly: "Why call so late?"

On the other side, Aiden Shaw was driving over.

Speeding along, yet still worried.

Hearing her voice, he relaxed significantly, took a long breath, then whispered: "Sixteen."

His voice was hoarse, full of concern.

Tiana hesitated a bit: "What’s wrong with you?"

"Are you okay? Wait for me at home, I’m on my way."

Listening to him, the sense of helplessness and unease conveyed once again, she frowned: "Fourth Brother, you know about this too?"

Aiden Shaw knew little and worried saying too much would hurt her: "Wait for me, I’m coming soon."

"Big Brother also came."

"I know."

Upon hearing this, the confusion in Tiana’s eyes deepened: "Alright, I’ll wait for you."

Downstairs.

Maxim Ford waited quietly, each minute, each second, was painful for him.

He didn’t know Julian’s current condition, lost a lot of blood at the time.

From his wet pocket, he took out his phone, drawing a paper from the coffee table, dried the slightly moist screen, there wasn’t a single WeChat message from his brothers.

At this moment, they were all busy.

No news is the best news.

Georgia Thorne’s keen observation immediately noticed his slightly trembling hand.

Maxim Ford swallowed, opened the chat window with Sebastian Ford.

Typed a line: Young Fifth, how’s your Second Brother?

Didn’t dare press send.

Just then, footsteps came, damp from rain.

He raised his eyes, seeing Aiden Shaw with an umbrella, his expression wasn’t any better.

Closing the umbrella, he asked: "Where’s Sixteen?"

"In the shower."

Aiden Shaw said nothing.

Second Brother was at the brink of life and death, a disaster for their brothers.

Maxim Ford worried about slipping up, said softly: "Tiana has sleepwalking, relapsed tonight, hurt the neighbor’s sheep. Old Fourth, you’ve been with her for so long, did you know about her condition?"

Aiden Shaw understood the implication of his words.

With Second Brother in trouble, Big Brother intended to hide it from Sixteen.

But however he tried, he couldn’t believe Tiana would harm Second Brother.

Even if it was sleepwalking, how could it harm Second Brother?

His voice was cold and stern: "Has it been thoroughly investigated?"
