After verifying the arrival of 20 billion U.S. dors, Helena turned to Howard with a cheerful smile and said, “Mr. Rothschild, the funds are here. This time, I’m allowing you to spend some money. Here’s to a fruitful partnership! I’ll be heading back to Northern Europe in two days, and I hope your AI team will arrive there at the same time.”


    Howard immediately responded without any hesitation, “Don’t worry, Your Majesty! I’ll ensure they get ready right away and head over early to start the preliminary nning and preparations!”


    Meanwhile, Steve and his son Royce, who had just arrived, stood anxiously about twenty meters away from the ward door, watching the time tick by.


    Steve couldn’t help but feel the meeting between his father and Helena wassting a bit too long. It wasn’t that he opposed their discussion, but he was primarily concerned that it might interfere with their family meetingter on.


    The meeting was set tomence at ten o’clock, marking a pivotal moment for Steve as he aimed to ascend to the role of family patriarch.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    At such a crucial time, he wondered why they couldn’t arrange for a wheelchair to get his father to the venue before half past nine.


    Today was a significant day for him, as he was determined not to let anything dy this important transition.


    Just as he was feeling the pressure, the ward door swung open.


    Helena emerged from the room.


    Upon seeing her, Steve rushed over with Royce at his side.


    He was also anxious about whether his father had managed to convince Helena to join their family.


    If that were the case, wouldn’t Helena potentially be his future daughter-inw?


    The medical staff behind him hurried over as well.


    They were concerned about the old man’s health. Given his condition—struggling to speak and dealing with hemiplegia and convulsions—long conversations were not advisable. However, they hadn’t anticipated such a lengthy chat with Helena, prompting them to check on the old man’s well-being. If anything were amiss, it could lead toplications.


    Yet, before either group could reach the ward’s entrance, an astonishing sight left them feeling as if they had been struck by lightning.


    Helena turned back to the doorway and remarked, “Mr. Rothschild, there’s no need for me to be seen off.”


    Almost immediately, old Howard stepped out of the room as if nothing had happened. He approached Helena politely, saying, “It’s a great honor for Her Majesty to visit me in New York. As the head of the Rothschild family, how could I note to see you off personally?”


    Steve, Royce, and the medical staff stood frozen in disbelief.


    Each of them was grappling with the same question: What on earth is happening?


    Steve was equally bewildered, thinking, “What is going on here?”


    “Wasn’t he just lying in bed, trembling? And now he’s walking?”


    “How can he appear so fine now? Is he really back to normal?”


    Steve, feeling confused about reality, rubbed his eyes in disbelief. Once he confirmed what he was seeing, he didn’t waste time pondering the situation. He quickly rushed over to assist Howard, expressing his concern, “Father! Why did youe out on your own? You shouldn’t be straining yourself right now…”


    Before Steve could finish, Howard interrupted with excitement, “Steve, I have fantastic news! I’m feeling great now! I’ve fully recovered! The stroke, the weakness, the stuttering, and the shaking are all gone! Isn’t this a miraculous recovery? Hahaha!”


    “Wha…what?! He’s fully cured now?!” Steve eximed in shock, as if his mind had just short-circuited from the revtion.


    He thought to himself, “How can this be? Didn’t the doctors say it was a stroke? Hemiplegia? They mentioned that his speech nerves were severely affected, making a full recovery unlikely!”<fn427d> The rightful source is FindN0vel</fn427d>
