Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 1031

At that moment, a faint voice stirred from the bed.

"Nana…"

Yolanda, who had been crouched by the bedside, was the first to respond. Her voice quivered with excitement as she called out, "Mr. Cunningham is awake! Mr. Cunningham is awake!"

Everyone's attention shifted to Johnny, who had gone from weak and unresponsive to conscious and alert. Yolanda helped him into a sitting position, supporting him against the headboard.

Fiona was overwhelmed with a surge of relief and fear. Her eyes widened in disbelief as she gasped, "Dad?"

Clutching his makeshift bandages, Johnny gave a weak nod to signal that he was conscious.

In that instant, Fiona shook off her panic and threw herself beside the bed, tears streaming down her face. "Dad, you're awake! Thank goodness, you're okay!"

With Johnny conscious, she felt a renewed sense of security. As long as he was alive, she had someone to rely on.

Johnny struggled to lift his hand and gently patted Fiona's head. In a soft voice, he reassured her, "It's okay. As long as I'm here, you don't have to be afraid of anything."

Standing nearby, Helen found his behavior rather intriguing.

Given that Johnny had undergone emergency treatment, he should have required some time to fully regain consciousness.

He had likely overheard their conversation and realized that Fiona's actions had nearly led to his death. Despite this, his affection for her remained evident, showing how deeply he cared for her.

Seeing Johnny's frail condition, Fiona managed to control her emotions and stepped back.

Johnny then shifted his gaze to Otto and Helen, who were standing nearby.

Besides, Fiona was well aware that she was the one who had sent the red dress.

"Dad," Fiona said, stepping in, "you've just woken up and are still weak. It's not wise for you to get involved in these matters right now. Let me handle it; I'm an adult now and should take some of the burden off your shoulders."

"I appreciate your concern, but this matter touches on a man's dignity and the reputation of our family. I have my own way of handling it, so please leave it to me," Johnny said firmly.

He then exchanged a silent glance with Yolanda, signaling her to bring Faye in.

Before Fiona could protest further, Yolanda had already hurried out, leaving Fiona to restrain her objections.

In no time, Faye was ushered in, her hands securely bound.
