Chapter 169

When Lena was sending Lauryn away from the morgue, she didn't know what to say.

She had intended to help with Jacoby's affairs, but Lauryn just shook her head and then took the bus to leave.

Lena could no longer hold back and could only stand in place, constantly urging.

"If you need any further assistance, just give me a call."

Lauryn nodded at her through the bus window and then wearily leaned back against the seat and fell asleep.

Lena stood still for a while and then turned to look at Hayden.

Hayden had more sweat on his forehead and his lips were paler.

Lena wanted to ask you what was going on, but the next second, Hayden simply fainted.

She was so scared that she quickly sent the person to the hospital. As a result, when the doctor lifted his back, she finally saw the crisscrossed whip marks.

And the traces were very deep, in some places even bones could be seen.

Who on earth dared to be so heartless to Hayden, the Reid family.

She covered her mouth, somewhat incredulous.

The Reid family soon had visitors, and the first one to arrive was Helen.

Helen saw her and wanted to slap her, but Lena stopped her wrist.

Helen was trembling all over.

"Broomstick, you, this Broomstick, if it weren't for you, how would Hayden have turned out like this?!"

Lena found it funny, she herself didn't know what happened to Hayden, how it was all because of her?

She was about to retort, when she saw Grady, whom she had seen earlier in the day, appear.

Grady's gaze made her uncomfortable, as he stared at her it felt like he was still staring at prey, with a smirk on his lips.

"Lena, you probably don't know, but this evening Hayden suddenly rushed into the old house, begging Grandfather to cancel his engagement with Leah. He said he regretted it and that he actually likes you. The wedding date was set by Grandfather at that time, and the invitations have already been sent out. Now they need to be canceled, which would be a slap in the face to Grandfather and would bring shame to the Reid family. So Grandfather got angry and invoked the family's rules, the Reid family's rules, and not many people can withstand them."

Lena's face instantly turned dark, Hayden was simply sick!

After secretly pursuing Leah for so many years, finally being able to marry her, and now she's saying she regrets it.

It was just after watching that recent video that I didn't want Leah to be like this anymore. Saying that I still liked Lena, it was simply a joke.

She turned around and was about to leave, but she didn't expect Helen to hold her back.

Helen's face was contorted with a grimace. "Lena, you couldn't leave. You had to stay here and wait for Hayden to wake up, or else I wouldn't spare you."

Lena took a deep breath, thinking that at least this time Hayden would help. So she stood here, quietly waiting for the person to wake up.

Hayden was severely injured this time, and it took the doctor three hours just to treat the wounds on his back. Especially when encountering fabric sticking to the wound, the doctor had to forcefully tear off the flesh, causing Hayden, who was unconscious, to tremble involuntarily.

Lena sat in the corridor, waiting until it was almost dawn when her phone received a message from Mr. H.

Don't think that I didn't know, I knew everything.

Originally, she was feeling quite depressed, but when she saw this message, she suddenly laughed.

This person is really...

She explained the matter in its entirety, and then emphasized it once again.

I will go to buy you a gift later, don't be angry. I won't look for him next time.

The response from the other side was very quick, and every time he replied, it was fast enough to show how much he valued her.

This also made Lena feel warm in her heart. In fact, she didn't really like to disappoint someone's sincerity. At that time, she also felt his affection, which is why she didn't reject it so strongly.

Not angry, but you can find me.

Lena's lips curved, wanting to say, "What can a waiter like you do? This person probably has no idea how powerful the Reid family was."

But being able to work in such a place, one way or another, also heard some things about the upper class society, right?

She sighed and didn't want to respond to him like that, afraid of hurting him.

"I will definitely look for you next time."

Hmm, I missed you, I missed you every day.

When Lena was staring at her phone and laughing, she only felt a figure standing in front of her.

She looked up and saw Grady's face.

Grady was gloomy all over. "Ms. Dawson, is this messaging with Hunter? At this hour, is he still not asleep?"

Lena's forehead twisted, feeling his strangeness.

"I was chatting with my boyfriend, and Mr. Reid was my immediate supervisor. How could I dare to disturb him at this time?"

A trace of surprise flickered in Grady's eyes, as if he had learned something incredible.

Lena ignored him and lowered her head to continue replying to Mr. H, when she heard Grady mockingly speak up.

"Don't you think Hunter treated you differently? Lena, he went to that kind of place to eat with you last night, probably for the first time in so many years. You can still freely go to Palm Bay, and even... you can still participate in his meetings with those few people."

The more he spoke, the darker Lena's face became.

She put away her phone and stood up slowly, "Mr. Reid, were you following me?"

Grady sneered, "I don't know if you truly don't understand or if you're pretending not to. I thought Hunter's feelings were quite obvious. He likes you, you're his exception. He doesn't treat others the same way."

"Mr. Reid, I was still working at the Reid Group and I didn't want to create such a scandal with my boss."

Grady looked her up and down several times, then smirked in a strange manner, "It seems like you really don't care about him at all, which makes things easier. Let's talk somewhere else."

Lena furrowed her brows, she didn't want to get involved in the disputes within the Reid family. Grady, being so familiar with her whereabouts, was probably looking for an opportunity to go after Hunter.

Outsiders thought that Hunter's legs would not recover, thinking that he would be easy to deal with now.

She wanted to refuse, but Grady seemed like a very dark person, who knows what means he would use afterwards.

"Okay, let's talk on the balcony at the end of the corridor."

At this moment, there were already many people in the hospital, so I don't believe he would dare to make a move in this place.

The two of them arrived at the corridor, and Grady immediately took out a card.

"Lena, are you very concerned about your boyfriend now? I only need one day to find out who he is, where he works, how many relatives he has. If you don't want to involve him, then listen to me next, otherwise what you will see next will be the corpse of your boyfriend."

Grady, being good at reading Lena, immediately stated his purpose as soon as he stood still.

Lena's face turned cold for a moment. She really didn't expect that Mr. H would put her in danger.

He was just a defenseless waiter, sensitive and insecure, always shining with anticipation to meet her, making him an easy target for everyone.

She took a deep breath, always needing to steady Grady first.

"How do you want me to cooperate with you?"

Grady's lips curved, placing the card into her palm, along with his own business card.

"Report to me about Hunter's whereabouts anytime in the future, and also help me find out if his leg really never recovered."

The entire population of Westfell was watching Hunter's leg.

Lena smiled and said, "Okay, but Mr. Reid is very perceptive. If there's nothing urgent, please don't call me, just send a message."

Grady immediately added him as a friend, and then revealed that smile hiding a knife expression.

"Next, we hoped that Ms. Dawson would cooperate well for the sake of your little boyfriend."

The reason he added a diminutive word is that he saw Lena easily being threatened and speculated that her boyfriend was just an ordinary person.

The Dawson family, he could easily control them all, and he was afraid he couldn't control an ordinary person?
