Chapter 186: Living as a Joke
It was at this very moment that my cell phone rang, I picked it up and looked at it, it was my dad calling, I pretended to be tired and tapped on the speakerphone to pick it up, “Dad!”
“How’s it going?” His voice came out warmly, and it somehow put me at ease.
“Not good, I’m restricted in my movements, I can’t leave Newport until I find the baby, can’t say at the moment when I’ll be able to get back to Southend!”, I said as I secretly delivered a message to my dad, who definitely understood the situation I was in.
As expected, my dad immediately comforted me, “Don’t be anxious, then stay at home and cooperate with the investigation! The kids have me and your mom, we’re all good! How’s the Medikit Inc thing going?”
“I don’t know much about it, I’ve been messing around with it since I got back, so let’s just go with it!” I said a bit breathlessly, as if I was very uninterested.
“Where’s Robert?” My dad asked sternly.
Robert, who had been listening sideways to us talking on the phone, immediately got a jolt, “… Dad, I’m, I’m here!”
“Robert, you’ve really disappointed me! I thought you were a person who could take on important responsibilities, but I never thought you would make such a ridiculous mess for me! I didn’t want to get involved in your couple’s affairs, but what have you done? I didn’t hold you responsible for Daisy’s illness, but now it seems that you have everything to do with her illness!” My dad’s voice was thunderous at this point.
“I thought that, this time, I wanted to fight for it, taking this excuse of having opened up the overseas market, to give Medikit Inc another big tree to lean on, to lay down some roots, but now it seems that I was overthinking it!” After saying that, the phone was hung up by my dad with a bark!
The room was so silent that you could hear a pin drop.
I closed my eyes, a look of pain on my face.
After a long time, I opened my mouth and said to the woman Scarlette had brought with her, “I’m hungry! Can you get me something to eat?”
As soon as my words left my mouth, she immediately turned around and headed straight for the kitchen.
The moment I watched her flash into the kitchen, I laughed and spat out the words to Scarlette, “Live and let live as a joke!”
Scarlette sighed and gently reassured me, “Don’t think too much, your dad is just angry, how can he really just leave you alone?”
“My family lost sooner or later! What face do I have left to reach out to my family again?” I laughed to myself, “I’m all sick, and now I’m a suspect?”Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
Robert’s eyes deepened, got up and said to me, “Honey, you don’t think too much, I still have a few things I have to take care of, so I won’t accompany you to eat, I know I failed you, but don’t worry … I won’t let people look at the joke!” Said turned and went out the door.
Scarlette and I looked at each other in all directions, and Scarlette whispered, “It’s time to make up your mind!”
“I hope so!” I withdrew my eyes and looked to the kitchen, “Call it over! I’ll recognize it! ”
Scarlette was busy calling the woman to introduce me, “This was handpicked for you by Jerome and will stay with you from now on.”
“Hello! My name is Leila.”
I smiled at her and said in a friendly way, “You got here just in time or I’d really be beat up!”
Scarlette and I laughed.
“Mr. Rowe thought of that and set me up yesterday!” Leila introduced herself.
“Just stay with me for a while, you’re too versatile for me to use you again when I take back Medikit Inc!” I said truthfully, then I looked over at Scarlette and said, “I’ve got to get in touch with Hannah quickly, I’m worried about what comes next.”
“Give her a call soon then! No we can’t meet, I haven’t seen her in days!” Scarlette said impatiently as well.
I picked up the phone and called Hannah directly and she answered in seconds on her end, “Daisy!”
“Where are you?” I asked, opening the door, as I heard a ruckus on the other end of the line.
