Brayden was questioning if Angeline knew that she still had a boyfriend for now and that she should keep appropriate boundaries.Lenny pursed his lips when he heard that, not knowing what to say.On the one hand, Angeline had told him not to say anything. On the other, Brayden had misunderstood Angeline.Brayden was furious. "Are you mute? Say something! What is Angeline doing over there with Ned? Does she know that he's her ex-husband? Doesn't she remember how Ned treated her? Why is she going to him when he gets admitted to the hospital? Doesn't she have any dignity?""Mr. Green!" Lenny's temper flared at once. "Don't talk nonsense if you don't know what's going on! Mr. Fletcher's arm was broken while saving Ms. Angeline's daughter, which is why she went to the hospital to take care of him. What's wrong with that? Besides, Ms. Angeline called Mr. Lawson, but he didn't pick up! When she called you, you hung up without letting her finish!" Lenny explained. Brayden was stunned.
Sean seemed to care about the kids a lot. Brayden hoped that Angeline could keep her word and not let things get complicated. If Sean found out that Brayden had been the cause of a delay in this incident, he would surely beat Brayden up.Brayden looked grim as he flicked on the car signal lights.The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He wanted to know if Ned had done this on purpose, so he made a call."Can you go to the police station and ask what's going on with the kidnapping of the Lawsons' adopted daughter's child? Find out how the investigation is going!" Brayden requested. "Huh? Why are you suddenly asking about this?""No reason! Just ask! If there's anything the police need my help with, then let me know," Brayden said. "I know what you're talking about. Mr. Lawson Senior is pressuring the higher-ups and saying that this incident must be investigated thoroughly. The people related to that female kidnapper must be captured, too! "Do you know which kinder
Angeline sat at the dining table with the coffee in her hands. "Sure! I'll start planning once I'm back in office." Angeline smiled. "With this, our employees won't have to worry about schools and dormitories. This might be an amazing idea!" Angeline heard the door open and thought Lucy had forgotten something. She turned and saw Sean taking off his coat. Clenching her phone, Angeline looked down and said to Asher, "Well, Mr. Millstone, please remind Granddad to take his medicine. I'll head to the office soon. Talk to you later." "Okay, bye," Asher replied. After hanging up the phone, Sean had gone into the washroom to wash his hands after placing his coat on the couch. Angeline recomposed herself and sipped her coffee. Then, she checked her phone to reply to the accumulated messages. Sean pulled the chair to sit beside Angeline. "Didn't you tell Lucy you'll be back early today? She just prepared my meal," Angeline asked while replying to her messages. "Should I order y
"Alright." Angeline nodded. Although Angeline was fine, there was something off between her and Sean. Sean leaned down to kiss Angeline while cradling her face. But Angeline held his wrist and turned her head to avoid him. "We should eat. You're not going to stop once we start kissing." After letting go of Sean's wrist, Angeline was about to pass him when Sean pulled her by her wrist. "Don't you miss me?"Angeline's phone rang again. She broke free from Sean's grasp and answered the phone, "Hello?" "Hey, Angie. It's me, Sherryn." Sherryn sobbed, "Ned's fever hasn't gone down, and he keeps calling your name. Can you come over to visit him?" Angeline remained silent. "Please, Angie! I know I went too far yesterday! It was because Ned kept speaking up for you." Sherryn bawled, "Please, Angie! Don't be so cruel. He got hospitalized because he tried to save your daughter!" "Alright. I'll come over now," Angeline replied. Angeline looked at Sean after hanging up the phone. B
Barry was infuriated. "How am I supposed to know Ned got into an accident?" "Just think about it yourself! Why would I call you if it isn't something urgent? Have I ever called you this urgently? I've called you hundreds of times like I'm crazy just to tell you our son is in trouble!"I contacted your assistant after failing to call you, but do you know what he said? You're on vacation with your mistress, on a honeymoon! Ned is in a life-or-death situation, yet you're enjoying your honeymoon? "Your stupid assistant even told me to stop harassing you since we've divorced! What is he trying to say? You'd better fire that useless assistant right now!" Sherryn yelled. "I'm the one who told him not to disturb me if anyone called! He's just following my orders. Why are you mad at him?" Barry raised his voice. "Ned was already hospitalized. What do you expect me to do? Get hospitalized in his place? "All you know is doing pointless things. Couldn't you have sent me a message if I did
Ned opened his eyes drowsily and saw Angeline standing at the bed's end. Tears rolled down Ned's face. He closed his eyes like he was dazed and cried while acting meekly to Angeline. "Angie… It hurts so much, Angie!"Sherryn felt a heartache looking at Ned. She looked at Angeline with pleading eyes. "Please, Angie. Could you comfort Ned a little?" Angeline sighed and looked at the delirious Ned. She placed her purse on the side table before walking toward Ned and patting Ned's forehead. But Ned quickly grabbed Angeline's hand. "Angie… I'm in pain," Ned mumbled. "I'm in so much pain! I'm a terrible person. I saw myself being all terrible to you. But I couldn't stop myself, Angie." Ned had dreamed of his past. He sobbed and sniffed while tears kept flowing out of his eyes, quickly drenching his pillow. "Angie is here now, isn't she? She won't blame you anymore!" Sherryn talked to herself before looking at Angeline expectantly. With a poker face, Angeline removed her hand fro
Angeline remained silent and looked at her watch. Barry and Sherryn sure were a married couple. Both of them were fond of guilt-tripping. Angeline recalled Danny once said, "No one could guilt trip me if I never felt guilt." "Ned had never, ever disliked you for having kids with another man," Sherryn said. "He's always loved and wanted to be with you, even willing to sacrifice his life to save your daughter and break his arm. Is that not enough to compensate for what he did in the past? "He lost his memories! What was wrong with falling in love with another person when he had amnesia? Is your heart made out of stone? Couldn't you be empathetic to him?" Sherryn tried to flaunt to Barry that Ned and Angeline had reconciled, and she would soon become the Lawson family's in-law. But now she was scolding Angeline hysterically without even thinking about embarrassing herself before Barry. Ned grimaced. His nose and neck were drenched in sweat. It wasn't Angeline's fault. Ned wo
"Where's Angie?" Sean asked. Lenny looked at Angeline in the ward and answered, "Ms. Angeline's friend got hospitalized. She's visiting them right now." "Which friend?" Sean asked. After a moment of silence, worrying that Sean might misunderstand, Lenny finally said, "It's Mr. Fletcher. He broke his arm from saving Yasmine, so Ms. Angeline transferred him to Vitality Biotech Group's hospital. "Mr. Fletcher's mom said he had a high fever this morning and kept calling for Ms. Angeline. So she asked Ms. Angeline to visit him." "What happened to Yasmine? When was it?" Sean sounded worried. "Yasmine got kidnapped. It happened when you were on a business trip," Lenny said. "Mr. Fletcher was the one who saw it and saved Yasmine. Although Yasmine only bruised her arm, Mr. Fletcher had an open fracture on his arm. "The doctor said the muscles weren't torn, luckily. Otherwise, Mr. Fletcher might need to be amputated. But regardless, his rehabilitation is going to take a long time."
