Chapter 568: When Ruth asked her question, Marissa was pulled from her thoughts. "Don't worry, Grandma. I got to the hospital in tto neutralize the poison for Mom. She's experiencing smemory loss from the shock, but it's temporary. She'll recover," she said gently.
Ruth exhaled in relief, and the rest of the group mirrored her sentiment.
Marissa continued, "However, Mom's recovery might be slow because she's still weak. Grandma, try to stay patient and not stress." "Okay, I'll be patient. I've waited twenty-two years to see my daughter recover. I've learned to remain patient during her coma. Now that she's conscious, there's no need to rush," Ruth responded.
With Ruth's reassurance, Marissa let out a quiet breath and addressed the group, "I need to handle something urgent now. I'm counting on you all to look after Mom."

She surveyed the group briefly. "It's not completely dark yet, so let's not rush. First, let's have a brief meeting," she proposed.
The room fell quiet, and everyone's movements synchronized. After Marissa's cue, they congregated around the table where she laid out the floor plan of Skytop Mansion. She pinpointed the critical zones, detailing her tactical approach with precision.
"Any thoughts?" she asked the group.
"Sounds good to me," Silver Fox responded.
