Chapter 366
But, surprisingly, about fifteen minutes later, Garrick slowly opened his eyes..
Staring up at the ceiling of the hospital room, he coughed softly
At that moment, everyone in the room was suddenly shocked.
“Garrick, how are you feeling? Yulia, quickly, check on your great–uncle,” Rita exclaimed anxiously when she saw her brother waking up
Yulia stepped forward, sat down on the stool next to the bed, and gently placed her fingers on the old man’s pulse.
After a minute, she pulled back her fingers and asked the old man lying on the bed, “Great Uncle, how do you feel now? Aunt, could you please get a cup of water for him?”
Gina finally snapped out of her daze, quickly turned around to pour a glass of water, and handed it over. “Here you go.”
With the warm water soothing his throat, Garrick started feeling a bit better and weakly said, “How did I end up here? And I feel like my whole body is aching as if I’ve broken several bones
“Did you forget that you coughed up a lot of blood before dinner? It really scared us,” Gina added.
Upon hearing her, Garrick suddenly remembered and said, “Oh remember now. My chest hurt really bad back then. I felt like a surge of heat was rising in my chest.
Then suddenly, I just spat it all up. After that, everything went dark and I woke up here. It’s really strange. I usually focus on exercising and staying healthy, so how could this happen all of a suddent
“I thought I might not make it. But now I feel a bit better, and my bones aren’t as painful as when I first woke up.”
Everyone was about to breathe a sigh of relief when Conon, the Hawkins family’s butler, came rushing over.
Gina knew Garrick and Rita didn’t like careless people, so she quickly scolded. “What’s wrong? Can’t you see Mr. Hawkins is resting here? Why are you so inconsiderate?”
Rita also frowned slightly, a bit displeased.
Conon was indeed out of breath. After a moment, he caught his breath and said, “Mr. Hawkins, the bell in that wooden box in your cabinet has exploded!”
“What?!” Garrick, who was lying down, sat up immediately despite the pain in his body.
Rita widened her eyes.
Everyone knew how important this bell was to the Hawkins family.
The hospital room suddenly became much quieter.
Rita stood still, not overly anxious. She calmly said, “You all go out first. I have a few words to say to my brother.”
She was highly respected in the Hawkins family. After hearing her words, everyone left the hospital room and waited.
outside the door.
As soon as Gina left the hospital room, she pulled Yulia aside and said, “What’s happening to our Hawkins family? Why is there so much bad luck lately? It feels like someone is watching us from the shadows!”
Yulia shook her head. She naturally didn’t believe in such thingbut she herself also felt a bit uneasy.

Chapter 366
Inside the hospital room, only Rita and Garrick were left.
Rita sat on a stool next to Garrick, looking at him. “Garrick, do you remember what our parents told us when they were still alive?
Garrick looked at Rita and nodded seriously. “Of course, I remember. The bell has always been the Hawkins family’s heirloom, and if the bell is destroyed, it can only mean one thing
“That is, the witchcraft was lifted by someone skilled! Once the witchcraft is lifted, not only will the bell be destroyed, but people could also get hurt.”
Rita finally sighed with some anxiety, “Yes, that’s how it is. So, now everything today makes sense. But after all these years, it passed down through generations, and there were almost no mistakes.”
Rita pondered for a moment and said, “Considering the last time you tried to summon the bugs on Hannia and failed, along with everything that happened today. To put it accurately, the witchcraft put on Hannia was lifted.

“In other words, the witchcraft being lifted is what led to everything that happened today. The blood you spat out was actually your organs reacting badly, and just now, our Hawkins family’s bell was destroyed.”
Garrick suddenly realized and asked, “Who did this? None of us in the Hawkins family can remove witchcraft. This is clearly opposing us!”
Rita stood up, looking out the window. “Whoever it is, I have to meet this

person way or another.
“It’s almost New Year’s. Find a way to get Hannia back home. If you can’t use witchcraft, appeal to family bonds. That child responds to kindness, not force.”
After she finished speaking, she rubbed her temples to relieve her exhaustion.
Today’s events were definitely out of her foresight.
Fortunately, the backlash issue was something she could manage. It just needed some effort and wasn’t a major problem.
Meanwhile, Cherise had just gotten back to Chivers Residence. It was still early, and Morris hadn’t come home from work yet when she received a call from Crow.
Crow told Cherise in detail about what happened with Garrick and the Hawkins family.
After Cherise ended the call, she didn’t show any reaction.
She took a careful look at the home Morris had personally set up for her and smiled with satisfaction.
She thought, “Tomorrow night is New Year’s Eve, so let’s enjoy the holiday!
