The Substitute Wife My Poor Husband is a Billionaire novel Chapter 474

Dazzling sunlight streamed in from the window. The ceiling was snow-white and spotless. The smell of disinfectant in the air was strong. 

“I think he’s awake!” Ethan heard Johanna’s excited voice. Then, he heard Beal’s voice. 

“I’ll call the doctor. When Janet comes back from getting breakfast, I’m sure she’ll be really happy!”

The doctor came minutes later. He took out a small flashlight and checked Ethan’s pupils. 

“He’s awake, which means that he’ll be fine. As for when he should be discharged from the hospital, it’ll depend on the wound’s rate of recovery.” 

After the doctor left, Johanna immediately approached Ethan’s bedside and asked worriedly, “How are you feeling? Are you in pain? If you feel any discomfort, I’ll call our private doctor to check on you again.” E

than couldn’t believe his ears. Did he suffer from a head injury as well? Why did his mother-in-law suddenly care about him?

Before he could say anything, Beal handed him a glass of water. “I bet you’re thirsty. Here’s some water.” 

Ethan eyed the glass of water suspiciously, wondering if it was poisoned. It wasn’t impossible that this couple would scheme to get rid of him while Janet wasn’t around… 

“Beal, you’re scaring him.” 

Noticing the suspicion on Ethan’s face, Johanna pulled her husband’s hand away from Ethan. Then she cleared her throat and said, “Thank you for saving our beloved daughter. In a way, it’s like you saved the two of us. Now that we’ve finally reunited with Janet, we’d be destroyed if she was taken away from us.”

Although Johanna still put on airs, Ethan could tell that she was being sincere. It seemed that they were really ready to accept their son-in-law. 

Janet chuckled and shook her head helplessly. “You’re hurt, , so be careful. My mother’s right outside. If she sees you misbehave, she will get angry again. It wasn’t easy for you to earn their favor, and you’ll have to keep earning it.” 

Ethan coughed and glanced at the door to the ward nervously. Then, he became serious. “The ceiling of the cinema wouldn’t just collapse for no reason. Did they release an official statement regarding the incident?” 

Janet continued to feed him, but the light in her eyes dimmed slightly. “The matter’s still under investigation. There’s no conclusive results yet. Mom told me that it was newly built, so the ceiling couldn’t have collapsed unless there was a major construction flaw. So it’s all rather suspicious.” 

“It was no accident,” Ethan said in a low voice, an imperceptible ruthlessness flashing in his eyes. Somebody had caused the roof to collapse, just like how somebody had started the fire downstairs their apartment before. The incident was so serious that it caused a sensation. 

As long as Ethan investigated it thoroughly, he would find out who was behind this. In the following days, Ethan stayed in Barnes for his recuperation. Meanwhile, he tasked Garrett with the investigation of this matter secretly.
