CHAPTER 745: CHAPTER 745: I’LL SING MY LOVE TO YOU

Consort Willow looked at Serena with terrified eyes, suddenly realizing that with her exposure, the infiltration of the Merfolk Clan into the Crawford family had also been revealed.

"No, it’s not like that, Serena Sterling, I just wanted to retaliate against you, don’t overthink it!" Consort Willow quickly denied.

Serena looked at Consort Willow, playfully blinking her long lashes, "What, are you scared?"

"Scared? What should I be scared of?"

"Because you alone brought the Merfolk Clan’s forces to the surface, all your hard work and detailed plans over the years are now ruined in an instant, losing Zelda Willow as your insider means you’re a fighter short, why do you think you’re scared?" Serena said with a graceful smile.

Consort Willow gasped, looking anxiously at Serena, now more fearful, she opened her mouth to say something, but nothing came out.

Serena didn’t look at Consort Willow anymore, because she had more important things to do. She turned to Jude Crawford beside her, "Uncle Jude, make sure Consort Willow and Zelda Willow are watched closely, the matter with the Merfolk Clan is far from simple, I need to investigate thoroughly, but for now, I need to see Aunt Iris."

Jude Crawford nodded, and glanced at Riley Sutton beside him, "Go do it."

Riley Sutton’s gaze towards Serena became increasingly respectful.

Serena and Jude Crawford walked toward the hospital room, Jude Crawford curled his thin lips with interest, "Where is Dylan Gardner, didn’t you bring him back?"

Serena smiled without replying.

Jude Crawford’s gaze was profound, "Dylan Gardner is like a turtle hiding in its shell, he dares not come back, he hides himself tightly to avoid facing his past mistakes as a form of protection, so I’m sure you couldn’t bring him back."

Arriving at the hospital room door, Serena paused, her clear eyes filled with twinkling laughter, like stars shining in the dim corridor lights, "Uncle Jude, I’m afraid you’re going to be disappointed, because I have already brought Dylan Gardner back."

This left Jude Crawford stunned.

Serena reached out a slender hand to push open the hospital room door, and went inside.

Little Caden Crawford raised his perfectly sculpted little face to look at his grandpa, "Grandpa, this time you lost, my mommy is still the best."

"..." Jude Crawford raised his large hand to fondly touch Little Caden Crawford’s head, "Alright, your mommy is great, your mommy is the greatest."

...

In the hospital room, Jude Crawford walked in, Serena had already put away the Golden Needle, the heart monitor showed everything normal, Iris Crawford had regained her breathing and heartbeat, but her face was extremely pale, she lay there, not yet awake.

"When will Iris wake up?" Jude Crawford asked quietly.

Serena tucked Iris Crawford in with a blanket, shaking her head, "Aunt Iris’s health is fine, the poison from the Merfolk Clan has been neutralized by me, but Aunt Iris is too tired, when she wakes up depends on... when she wants to wake."

Just then, the hospital room door was pushed open again, and someone appeared at the doorstep, it was... Dylan Gardner, not seen for many years.

Dylan Gardner and Iris Crawford from the City of Aethelgard were truly a match made in heaven, not seen for years, Dylan Gardner who had been teaching in mountain areas carried a quiet and weathered presence.

Dylan Gardner stood at the doorstep, his eyes landing on Iris Crawford.

After a long time, he moved his stiffened legs to Iris’s bedside, his fingertips trembling as he touched Iris’s cold hand, slowly kneeling beside her, his eyes red, lowering his head, already choking with sobs.

Jude Crawford looked at Dylan Gardner with cold eyes, delayed affection is worth less than grass, he pursed his lips into a grim line, fists clenched as he stepped forward.

But a slender hand reached out, directly blocking his path.

Jude Crawford lowered his gaze, looking at Serena.

Serena faced him, slowly shaking her head.

Jude Crawford looked again at the sleeping Iris Crawford, but two tears suddenly slid quickly down from her eye corners, instantly disappearing into her hair.

Jude Crawford’s tight fists quickly loosened.

Serena looked at Dylan Gardner, "Mr. Garner, you’ve taught and nurtured many excellent children in the mountain areas over the years, who knows if you’ve obtained self-redemption during these times, I’ve brought you back this time to save someone... someone you should have saved many years ago but chose not to see, perhaps only by saving her, can you save yourself."

The dim lights cast a fine jade-like glow on Serena’s flawless little face, hearing her words, Dylan Gardner’s heavy, weathered shoulders collapsed instantly, he cried uncontrollably beside Iris Crawford.

...

Jude Crawford left the hospital, standing on the early morning street, the cold wind blowing the coat tail of his black coat briskly.

Light footsteps sounded beside him, Serena arrived.

Jude Crawford didn’t turn around, he spoke in a low voice, "How did you manage to bring Dylan Gardner back?"

Serena stood beside Jude Crawford, "It’s simple, the longer someone hides inside their turtle shell, the less likely they will come out, the only way is... breaking their shell, leaving them nowhere to hide, I knocked him unconscious and shipped him back directly!"

Jude Crawford turned his head to give Serena a look, "You really have guts."

"Thank you for the compliment, Uncle Jude."

Then, several black-clad bodyguards brought out Consort Willow, Serena said, "Uncle Jude, I’ll take Consort Willow away."

Jude Crawford pressed his thin lips, "You can hand this person over to me, after all, it’s an old Crawford family matter, you may not know the details."

Serena tilted her little head, "Uncle Jude, you’re invulnerable in front of others, but defenseless before Aunt Yara, years ago the Merfolk Clan set up a delicate chess game for you in the name of love, unfortunately you never saw through it, since that’s the case, I can only sing you a love song and put on a grand play for you all."

Jude Crawford’s gaze fell on Serena’s face, Serena smiled gracefully, with intelligent and composed lights flickering in her clear eyes.

Jude Crawford withdrew his gaze, not speaking.

The next second, a deep, magnetic voice sounded beside him, "It’s so late, people who don’t know might think you two are sharing a romantic moment standing together."

Oh, a strong air of jealousy, like someone broke an entire jar of vinegar from a certain household, Jude Crawford didn’t need to turn around to know who it was.

Serena turned around, seeing a familiar tall figure under the dim streetlights, Hayden Crawford arrived.
