Chapter 18 Ian didn’t reply
Haley was speechless.
She stood in the door staring at the bodyguard, unable to say a word for a long time!
‘Jason, you scumbag!’
In the end, Haley still didn’t get anything and was locked in the apartment. She tried to sneak out of the window.
However, he thirty-floored building scared her to retreat with a pale face after she glanced at the height of it.
She was afraid of heights!
In this case, she had only one way, which was to pick the lock.
Raising two children alone for five years, Haley had actually endured hardship.
Without having a strong background or a strong network of contacts, she managed to survive by herself.
Therefore, it was really not surprising that she could pick locks.
However, the door was opened from the outside with a “Click” just as she found some tools in this apartment and squatted at the gate to start.
Haley was shocked.
“What are you doing, mummy? Are you picking the lock? It seems that my guess is correct. You were arrested by the villain again. Mommy, who did you offend?”
Unexpectedly, the door was suddenly opened by Ian!
When Ian saw Haley squatting with tools in her hand, he immediately showed a very angry expression on his cool face, clenching his fists.
Haley was stunned!
‘God, do I see it wrongly? How could Ian be here? How did he find this place? I just got here a few moments ago!’
Haley was in a daze for a while.
“Ian, how did you get here? How did you find this place?”
Haley was dumbfounded for a few seconds.
“Stupid mummy. I followed the tracker on you!
Mommy, what are you doing these days?
Why did the tracker still show that you were in the Atlantic a few days ago? What did you encounter? Is it the bad man? Did he arrest you again?”
In fury, Ian strode over, and stretched out to took out the tracker he had put on Haley.
Haley was still in shock.
‘Could he… Not humiliate me like that?
After all, I’m his mommy, so could he not shame me?’
“It seems that the bad guy hasn’t learned his lesson. I have to teach him one.”
Ian lost his temper and decided to leave a note like last time.
When Haley saw that, she regained her senses and rushed over to hug him in an instant.
“No, Ian.
You misunderstood. He didn’t bully me. He is just a patient of mine.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
In the past few days, I came with him by ship in order to treat him.”
“Really?”
“Yes, trust me.
Because of his illness, he couldn’t come back by plane but only by ship. Then I went on the ship with him. There was no signal on the ship, so I didn’t contact you.
Ian, I’m really sorry. It’s all my fault for not telling you in time.”
Haley did everything she could to coax Ian in order to calm him down.
She didn’t dare to take the risk.
If she allowed Ian to mess around, Jason would definitely find him.
Moreover, Ian was so smart that he would definitely find out the identity of the bad man if he continued investigating.
Haley looked at Ian nervously.
Fortunately, although Ian was extremely clever, he was still a child.
Therefore, he didn’t make any movement after hearing her reasonable explanation.
“Then why are you still locked up here if you treat him?”
“… No, no. I’m not locked. He just arranged me to live here. Just now… I was holding tools because I actually felt that the lock wasn’t safe and wanted to tighten it.”
Haley continued lying.
Ian didn’t reply.
For the sake of that bad man, Haley actually told so many lies to deceive him. It seemed that he really needed to investigate the bad man.
‘Jason, the president of The Black Group, right?
Okay, I remember that and I’ll come to him soon!’
In the afternoon, Martin was informed in the hospital that Haley, who had been locked at the apartment, had escaped.
‘She escaped again?’
As soon as he answered the phone, he furrowed his eyebrows fiercely.
But soon, he received a strange call, which was to his surprise.
“Hello?”
“Martin, I’m Haley. I’m sorry that I really wanted to meet my aunt and the others, so I slipped out. Don’t worry. I’ll be back soon after I finish visiting them.”
It turned out to be Haley, and she made a special call to explain it to him.
Martin had mixed feelings for a while and glanced at Jason, who was still lying on the ward bed without waking up. Then he could only reply, “Then you’d better come back quickly, in case Mr. Black finds out.”
“Yes, I know. Don’t worry.”
Hearing that he agreed, Haley was much more relaxed. After replying, she hung up the phone.
Looking at the phone, Martin was nerve-wracking and helpless.
He should have been happy because Haley actually remembered his phone number after five years. After all, he thought this former mistress probably hadn’t remembered any phone numbers of The Blacks’ by now, including Jason, who was sleeping on the bed.
Therefore, he estimated that there would a lot of troubles.
He was about to enter the ward when the doctor suddenly came over.
“Mr. Biles, Mr. Black’s CT is here, along with the inspection report.
Fortunately, I find no traces of ruptured blood vessels in his head, but we should still pay attention to this situation.
Although it didn’t happen the first time, it doesn’t mean that it won’t happen for the second time. According to his state, he will be easily to have cerebral hemorrhage.”
“What? What should we do then? Doctor, is there really no other way?”
When Martin heard this, he was very anxious.
The doctor shook his head, saying, “You know about his condition. After searching all over the country for famous doctors, there is no way to treat him.
You also went abroad for this purpose, but I want to ask why you come back so quickly?
And as soon as you came back, Mr. Black was sent to the hospital in a coma. What the hell is going on? Was the famous Chinese medicine doctor in the Pukins Hospital not good enough?”
The doctor suddenly asked.
Martin sighed when he heard this…
‘It’s not that she isn’t good enough. It’s because we didn’t try her at all. None of us had expected that the so-called famous Chinese medicine doctor was actually Mr. Black’s “dead” wife five years ago.’
“Since the foreign medicine couldn’t cure him, do you think the Chinese medicine could? Don’t you overestimate that?”
“No, no, you don’t know Chinese medicine very well.
Traditional Chinese medicine has a history of thousands of years in our country and it is no worse than the foreign medicine.
Moreover, acupuncture is very powerful. It uses the acupuncture points of the human body to control the disease and sometimes, it is more powerful than having an operation.”
The doctor answered Martin without hesitation.
He affirmed the power of traditional Chinese medicine, especially when he mentioned the acupuncture, he had a rare admiration.
Hearing that, Martin glanced at Jason, who was in a coma on the bed, and finally fell into deep thought.
‘In that case, I might as well let Haley try it?’
