45. 4 She Has Nothing to Do with Me
Sally was also a little surprised when she heard that the injury was so serious. She gently patted her shoulder to comfort her, “His leg will definitely be fine. Don’t feel too much pressure.”
She could not help but sigh in her heart. It was not easy for him to walk out. Why did such a thing suddenly happen again? God was really testing people. ..
Linda walked into the ICU to visit.
Mike opened his eyes, “Where’s Jessie?”
Linda’s eyes were red and swollen. “The doctor said your leg… What should we do? I told you that the woman was a disaster. I told you not to look for her again. You had to listen to me.”
“Did you scold her just now?” Mike sat up from the hospital bed nervously and growled impatiently, “You have to treat her well now. Don’t treat her like you did in the past. She will soon become the young lady of a rich family. You have to treat her like a Bodhisattva, understand?” .
“Don’t move when you’re injured!” Linda quickly went to hold him down. “I didn’t scold her. I didn’t say anything. You’ve told me so many times. I listen to you. I really don’t know whether it’s worth it or not. Even if she’s the biological daughter of the company’s boss, you have to have a pair of legs. It’s not worth it for you if you can’t use your legs. My heart hurts so much.”
“Don’t worry, my leg is fine. It’s just a small bump.” Mike laid back down. “That doctor is my friend. He helped me make fake medical records. No matter what, Yura, that vicious b*tch, dared to drive and hit me. This time, I will definitely not let her off easily. When I go out later, and if Jessie ask, just say that I am seriously injured. You have to worry about whether she is injured or not. Before I remarry with her and help her and CEO Harold recognize each other, you have to pretend to be good to her. This concerns the wealth and glory of the rest of my life, remember?”
Hearing him say that the injury on his leg was fake, Linda became happy again. She pouted her mouth and laughed, “I did not know that Jessie, that disaster star, had good luck. She is actually the daughter of a rich family. Her crazy mother is going to reach the sky in a single bound.”
“When Jessie and I remarry, you will get a lot. I will personally get at least half of the family property from her father. Seeing how he is looking for his missing daughter everywhere, he might be able to give all of his family property to Jessie. That way, his entire company will be mine!” Mike’s eyes showed greed.
Linda also felt excited in her heart and took the initiative to ask, “I found that she is still outside. Do you want her to come in and see you?”
Mike thought about it and said, “No, just tell her that I am worried that she is tired and let her go back to rest first. She can come and see me tomorrow.”
Linda walked out and looked at Jessie. Her expression was a little awkward, “My son is very weak. He just woke up and said a few words before sleeping again. He said that Jessie was also frightened today and told you to go back and rest first. If you want to visit, come back tomorrow.”
“Did he wake up just now? How is his injury?” Jessie asked urgently.
“You should go back and rest first. Otherwise, he will worry about you and will not be able to rest well.” Linda said awkwardly and went back to the ward.
“Isn’t she half paralyzed? When did she recover?” Sally stared at the closed door of the ward and widened her eyes in surprise.
Jessie remembered that more than a month ago, Linda was still lying in a wheelchair and ordering her to do a lot of housework. Even the water would fall into her hands. She could not help but feel a little cold in her heart, “After I divorce Mike, she becomes fine.”
“This is too much of a coincidence, right?” Sally could not help but laugh coldly, “At that time, did this old woman deliberately pretend to be paralyzed in front of you and let you wait for her for five years? If that was really the case, these two mother and son are too despicable, right?”
“Sally, don’t say anymore.”
Whether Linda was really paralyzed or lazy at that time was no longer important now. Furthermore, her son was still lying in the ICU because he saved her.
“Alright, let’s not talk about it anymore. Go back. Your clothes are full of blood.”
Jessie looked down and suddenly she remember the two kids. Her heart suddenly shivered. She quickly took out her phone and found that the phone was broken and turned off.
She immediately charge her phone and turned it on again. There were two missed calls. One was from Fia and the other was from Alex.
She chose Fia’s number and called her back. The other person showed that she had turned off her phone.
No one answered her call.
“Sally, you go back first. I need to go somewhere!”
“Where are you going?”
Jessie had already quickly walked into the elevator and took off her blood-stained coat and put it in her handbag.
When Jessie rushed to school, there was no one in the school anymore.
In the security room, security guard told her that there was a parent-child meeting in the school today and that they would have a break after the morning and afternoon.
“You are here to find those two children from the Laurent family, right?” Jessie came over to pick up the children for a few days, and security guard recognized her.
“Yes, they have all left. Right?”
“The two children did not participate in the parent-child meeting today and have been standing at the gate for a few hours. From the way his nanny said it, it sounded like she was waiting for someone. The two children were scolded by Boss Alex and ran into the classroom. Boss Alex did not care about them anymore. He took the car and left. Later on, the two little fellows seemed to have gotten into a fight with their classmates. The teacher called their grandfather to come over. Only then did they pick them up.”
Jessie’s throat became hoarse, “They waited for a few hours?”
“They waited from seven in the morning until it was almost noon. They refused to leave even when it rained. When their grandfather picked them up, she even dropped a watch at the door. You can take it back.” security guard said and took out a pink Phone Watch from inside and handed it to her.
The watch belonged to Fia.
Jessie looked at the watch that was covered in a layer of dust and suddenly felt that she could not breathe.
She used her fingers to wipe away the dust on the watch because it was stained with rain. No matter how she wiped the watch, it could not be wiped clean. Guilt like the tide buried her inside. She seemed to see Fia wearing a beautiful parental dress, standing at the school gate, waiting bitterly with anticipation. Guilt and sadness were pressing down on her heart. This kind of feeling was even more unbearable than when Mike proposed a divorce. It made her powerless and anxious…
When Alex received Jessie’s call, he was in a meeting.
His phone was placed on the table on the right side of the table. When it rang, the subordinate who was reporting work tactfully stopped. He wanted to wait for boss to answer the phone first.
However, Alex only stared at the phone screen. He did not answer and did not hang up the phone. He just watched as the phone kept ringing. He only hung up after a while.
The phone was silent for a while, and Alex’s eyes were still staring at the screen. He waited for another minute before turning his gaze back to the crowd. “Continue.”
It was as if the interlude on the phone had never happened.
Rick saw that boss was too abnormal. He could not help but secretly look at the screen of his Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
phone. The number did not have a name.
The number that did not have a name did not hang up and only looked like it was not picked u p. There was only one possibility. She was someone he knew, and boss did not want to pick u p this person’s phone number.
Who was it?
Alex had a social gathering at night. After the banquet ended, he returned to the Laurent family’s old residence. It was already past nine o’clock at night.
“You are also this late every day in Mountain and River Residence?” Grandma Restall had called him during the day and told him that the children had been waiting for him at home ever since they had arrived at the old residence. Now that she finally caught him, she, immediately started to scold him the moment he entered.
“You can’t take good care of the children like this. You don’t have time to take care of them. But you have to quickly find a wife to take care of them. You won’t listen to me. After your blind date with her is over, you told her to take a taxi home. She won’t be willing to marry into your family like this. I think you should continue to keep Felix and Fia by my side. Anyway, you don’t care about them.”
Alex habitually ignored them. He untied the buttons of his suit and walked towards the children’s room.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to put the children by the elders in old residence’s side. The main reason was that the two children were now older. Fia was especially pixie. He was worried that the two elders would be tired. Another reason was that the elders doted on them too much. If he let them continue to take care of them, they would become more and more lawless.
Seeing that he did not care, Grandma Restall asked, “We have found so many women for you, but you are not satisfied. Do you have anyone you like? I heard that there is a girl with the surname Jessie who is very close to the three of you. She also helps you take care of the children every day. How about you take her home to have a meal one day?”
Alex took a few steps forward and frowned impatiently. “She has nothing to do with me. Why should I treat her to a meal?”
“She has already helped you take care of the child. She is very close to you. Why can’t you treat her to a meal?” Old Madam became even more energetic.
Alex did not reply. He pushed open the door of Fia’s room and walked in.
There was a warm yellow light in the pink room.
She was curled up in the middle of the bed, wrapped tightly in the blanket. Her small head was exposed, and her hair was messy. There were a few scratches on her face from fighting with her classmates. There were dried tears on her sleeping face.
He walked over and relaxed her blanket. He inadvertently saw a group of colorful things in
her arms.
It was the colored strips and small sandbags that she had been carrying during the day.
She probably made it when they were fighting. The corners of the small sandbags were ripped off.
Looking at the little girl’s tear-stained face, his already dark eyes became even colder, as if a layer of frost had formed in them.
Alex did not pick up Jessie’s call. The security guard said that the children had been picked u p by her grandfather, so she did not dare to call Felix’s number.
After thinking about it, she dialed Rick’s number and asked about the location of the Laurent family’s old residence where the children’s grandparents lived. The old residence of Laurent family was quite far from the city. She asked a few taxi drivers. They did not know this place. After telling them the exact address, No one was willing to go either. It was said that not only ordinary people could enter such a place. Moreover, there were private luxury cars in every house. After they went… When they returned, the car was empty. So, they were unwilling to go there.
Jessie paid a high price and called a car to get there first. The car could not go back and forth before getting out of the car. She then drove the GPS on her phone to look for it.
When she finally arrived at the entrance of the courtyard in Laurent Residence halfway up the mountain, the sky was already dark.
Other than the street lights lit up by the side of the road with excellent greenery and the lively lights in the house, there was not a shadow of a person in a few miles radius. She took out her phone, bit her lip, and dialed Alex’s number again.
