Although he is just an adopted son, without Owen's adoption, where would he be today?

"It's been a long time since I visited the old man, I hope he is still in good health?"

"Not good, tomorrow he might need your help to check on him, his heart problem is very serious!"

Heart problem?

Upon hearing this, Freya furrowed her brow slightly. If she remembered correctly, the old man had always been quite spirited!

Early the next day.

Bradley personally drove back to the old Austin family mansion.

As soon as they entered the house, Freya could smell the strong scent of Chinese herbs.

The two were led by the steward to the old man's room, only to see Brian standing by the side serving tea and water, while the old man would occasionally cough.

"Old master, look who's back?" The butler said excitedly.

Owen, who was coughing, slightly sat up and saw Bradley and Freya. Tears welled up in his eyes instantly.

"Bradley, Freya, you're finally back."

Overjoyed, the old master tried to get up in a hurry, but strained his airway, causing a severe bout of coughing.

The coughing wouldn't stop, and he even coughed up blood.

Brian panicked and quickly helped the old master pat his back, urgently saying, "Dad, what's wrong with you? Quickly, go call the doctor."

Seeing the situation, Freya quickly approached, saying anxiously, "Second brother, let me take a look."

The old master's mental state wasn't too good, and his face was devoid of color, hinting at something abnormal.

Freya checked his pulse, then furrowed her brows sharply and turned to Brian, saying, "Second brother, what medicine did you give father just now?"

Brian didn't understand what she meant, and said, "It is Chinese medicine for treating the heart."

"No, that's wrong. Can you get the remnants of the medicine for me to see?"

The old man's face was not the pale color of illness, but rather a sickly pallor with a hint of toxicity, even with a pulse and heart rate that was too fast, abnormally so.

Although Brian was suspicious, he quickly had someone bring the remnants of the medicine.

Freya carefully examined the remnants of the medicine and unexpectedly found a herb called Rencao. This herb may not be harmful to ordinary people but is fatal for those with heart disease.

"Is there a problem with this herb?" Brian asked in confusion.

Freya checked everything and found no issues with the other herbs, except for Rencao.

She explained the dangers of Rencao to everyone one by one.

When they heard that Rencao could endanger the old man's life, Brian became anxious, "Such a quack dares to harm people. I will have him brought here immediately."

Ten minutes later, two bodyguards brought in a white-bearded doctor in custody!

Brian kicked him to the ground and made him kneel, saying fiercely, "Tell me, what grudge does my dad have with you? Why do you want to harm him?"

The doctor, with blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, tears streaming down his face, sobbed, "Second Young Master, I didn't do it!"

"No?!" Brian snorted, "You knew my dad had a heart condition, yet you prescribed Rencao for him. Do you know what Rencao is? It's tobacco. Are you trying to kill my dad?"

The doctor's face turned pale upon hearing this accusation. He cried, "I only prescribed heart medications!"

As a doctor, how could he make such a basic mistake? Moreover, he had been taking care of the old master's health for many years. How could he have plotted against him?

"Do you dare to argue? Did you prescribe these medicines?" Brian confronted him with the herbs in hand.

The doctor nodded, "Yes, I did prescribe them!"

"Then it's true, you wanted to harm my dad!"

Freya stood quietly on the side, turned to look at Bradley, and asked, "What is your take on this?" The doctor did not seem to be lying, she recognized this doctor. Initially, when she was bitten by a snake in the old house designed by Jinny, it was this doctor who examined her.

Serving in The Austin family, not worrying about food and clothing, and earning a salary several times higher than other doctors outside, this doctor would not benefit from harming the old master. Bradley also had the same thought, feeling that there was something suspicious about this matter.

He stopped Brian from continuing to beat the doctor. "Second brother, let's investigate this matter. Perhaps it is not as simple as it seems. Besides, Doctor Henry has been by dad's side for many years and wouldn't do something disloyal like this!"

"You can't be too trusting, Third brother. This man has been running around a lot in the past three days. Who knows who he has taken advantage of, with the intention of harming dad's life!"

Now, this old house, is not a home. Ever since Arthur ran away, and Bradley went abroad for several months, the entire responsibility of the family fell on his shoulders. He not only had to take care of the affairs of the old house but also handle the company's matters. One person took on several responsibilities, pressing down on his shoulders!

Bradley's sharp gaze fell on Doctor Henry, causing him to tremble. And with this action, Freya noticed something unusual. This Doctor Henry indeed had issues!

"But she didn't expose it. Instead, she said lightly, 'Second Brother, rest assured. Bradley and I will investigate this matter thoroughly. We will definitely not let the person who poisoned escape unpunished!'

'Bradley, you came back just in time. Otherwise, I really don't know what to do. There are so many things going on in the house, I haven't rested for several months!'

Brian let out a deep breath!

Previously oppressed by Arthur, he had developed a timid and fearful personality, but in the past few months of experience, he had gained a bit of confidence.

If it were before, he would never dare to do something like hitting someone!

However, he was not cut out for business, and these past few months had really exhausted him!

'Second Brother, can't we ask James to come back and help?' Freya blurted out, not thinking too much.

At the sight of Bradley's changed expression, Freya felt a shiver as she met his dangerous gaze, realizing she had said the wrong thing!"

Since Bradley knew about her past with James, he has always harbored resentment. If James hadn't gone overseas to manage the branch company, these uncle and nephew might have fought!

Now that she mentioned James, isn't she asking for trouble?

"I... I just casually mentioned it, now that Bradley is back, Bradley can help!"

She avoided his gaze, afraid to face the man's eyes!

This man is terrifying when he gets jealous!

Bradley saw her acting like a young bride, and curved his lips, but warned her with his eyes to go home and tidy up!

Freya hurriedly said, "I'll go check on Dad's condition further, you guys talk, you guys talk!"

After speaking, she quickly ran over to Grandpa's side.

Seeing this, Bradley smiled faintly, then returned to the topic, "Second brother can take a few days off recently, I will stay in the capital for a while, waiting for Dad's condition to improve before leaving. As for the company matters, I will help with handling them, you can go out and relax with your wife!"

"Well, thank you for your hard work during this time!"

After Brian finished speaking, he ordered the bodyguard to take Dr. Henry away, and to release him only after the investigation is complete!
