The CEO's Switched Bride Chapter 182
After the coffee we had ordered was served, Thomas said, "Reed, your grandmother was transferred to a Second Best Level Hospital. She will only cost you more than a few thousand dollars a month. You surely have a lot of money left in your pocket after you sold the apartment, don't you?"I immediately understood why he had come to me humbly.He was lusting for my money."Enough!" I pushed the coffee in front of me and took out a banknote of 100 dollars from my bag. I placed it on the table and added, "I will reserve the rest of the money for Grandma's hospitalization fees. I won't lend it to anyone. I won't even touch it."After that, I got up and left.Thomas chased after me to the door, "Reed, I'm not asking you for help. I'm borrowing the money from you. My company is in need of capital recently..."I refused firmly, "I'm sorry, I can't help you.""Reed.""Mr. Thomas, you'd better call me Reed Defiant. You cut off your relationship with me. Have you forgotten about it?"As soon as a

I couldn't hear Helen's answer but I could see the look on Thomas' face had became a little stiff.He looked at me and said, "Grilled chicken sandwich, salmon, and...""Stop it. Mr. Thomas, these are Lita's favorite not mine."When I asked him that question, I had a sort of unrealistic expectation in my heart but when Thomas spoke, I gave up.Lita couldn't eat greasy dishes so the dishes she liked were all light however, I liked greasy dishes.I walked to the subway entrance. Thomas chased me and asked me to go to his house as he apologized.I would have gone with him but his request was a little unusual.The more he looked like this, the more I felt something was wrong. It seemed to be a feast with ulterior motives.I feared I wouldn't come back alive if I followed him.I scanned my subway card and went in. He wanted to chase after me but only one with the pass can walk through the gate.He, who was stopped outside, couldn't come in.The staff next to him also shouted, "Sir, you can

There wasn't even a single car on the road tonight.The sky was dark and there weren't any stars nor the moon.It was unknown as to how long I had been running. Finally, I saw two beams of light breaking through the dark streets and flying toward me."Stop!""Stop!"I rushed straight to the front of the car without thinking.It was so late and the harsh braking sound was particularly ear piercing in the quiet night but the car still didn't stop.Bang! It hit me, causing me to fly backward.I was thrown backward only a few meters away.A man got off the car quickly and asked, "Are you alright?"Although I felt my legs were somewhat in pain, I didn't have time to think about that. I limped forward and said sadly, "Sir, please send me to the Hospital down town."When I got close to the driver...He called out, "Reed Defiant?""Mr. Oogway?"I never expected I would meet Oogway of all people in such a big City.He bent over to check on my legs and asked with more concern, "Are you okay? I

It was as if what's going on right now wasn't reality, but a dream and after I wake up, Judith would still be alive...By the time I turned around again, every one of the Defiant Family had left.Oogway insisted on sending me home however, when I came to my senses, I found that he had driven to Unit No.1.I, who was a little embarrassed, explained to Oogway, "I moved out of here. I no longer live here.""I know." Oogway parked the car, got out and opened the door of the passenger seat for me, saying, "You will stay at my place tonight.""What?"I sat in the car and looked at him in a daze.Oogway looked at me while adjusting his glasses, "There is a guest bedroom in my apartment. I won't be at ease if I let you go home alone tonight and don't worry, you're the beloved one of Dave. I won't do anything to you."After Oogway finished his words, he smiled faintly.His words stung me deeply..Am I the beloved one of Dave?That is clearly false.I believed Oogway wouldn't do anything to me

"Give it back to you? You are dreaming!" Over the phone, Lita's voice became fierce as she said, "Reed, be very clear about what you have done! Let me tell you, if I can't get Dave, then I will be doomed together with you!"Her words reminded me of the photos I had sent a few weeks ago.I, who had been concentrated on Judith's matter, forgot about it.I snorted and said, "Lita, you messed up your own private life. It has nothing to do with me!""Nothing to do with you? If it weren't for you, would I be like this? Do you think I don't know you complained to Dave about my private life? Otherwise, how could he have treated me like that?""How did he treat you?" I asked curiously.Could it be that what Dave once said is true?Over the phone, Lita was silent. After a while, she said, "Let me tell you, I won't give your laptop back to you!""Oh."I hung up.Now that Judith had passed away. The ten million dollars in my bank account was no longer reserved for anyone.I could afford to buy an

Outside, Comfort sorted out the signature book and said to me without even looking up, "Reed Defiant, when my mother was alive, she was the only one that recognized you as a member of the Defiant Family. We didn't refuse to recognize you because of her feelings. Now my mother has passed away. You are no longer a member of the Defiant Family.""Do you think I will care about it? I always knew my grandmother was the only relative I got." After I said that, I took two steps forward. Thinking of something, I walked back and said to her, "I would be here on the day of Grandmother's funeral and it will be the last time you'll see me!"At this moment, Comfort raised her head to look at me with a complicated expression in her eyes.Before she could say anything, I walked away.As soon as I went out, I saw Oogway's car parked with him next to the car.When he saw me, he smiled faintly.As I approached him, I hesitated for a moment and said, "Thank you."Oogway seemed to have noticed my strange

I handed the broken lens and arm to him saying awkwardly, "Sorry. Seeing that the glasses was about to slip down your nose, I planned to take them off safely for you."Oogway lowered his head and checked his glasses. He frowned slightly and said, "This pair of glasses had been with me for several years. I have grown attached to it.""I'm sorry." Hearing his words, I felt even more sorry. I hurriedly added, "How about I order you another similar one?""This pair of glasses was produced several years ago. It surely has been out of stock."When Oogway spoke, his expression was serious, which I rarely saw.I regretted it so much, thinking I shouldn't have helped him take off his glasses. He had comforted me with good intentions but I ended up crushing his glasses under my buttock...When I was struggling in my heart, Oogway suddenly placed his hand on top of my head, rubbed my hair, and said, "If you do order one with me, I will forgive you.""Huh?"I looked up at him blankly."Didn't yo

Dee hesitated for a moment before saying in a low voice, "Trish violated the rule that nobody should use cell phones in the resort.""Using her cell phone? Who did she get in touch with?"Dee shook his head and waved his hand, "I can't tell you anything about that.""Why?"I chased after Dee, only to see him look embarrassed as he said, "Miss Defiant, you have helped me before and I am very grateful for that, which is the reason why I revealed Trish's matter to you. As for other things, I indeed can't tell you anything more.""I see."Hearing his words, I knew what was going on.Who else could it be?I knew what had happened without any further guessing needed. I thanked Dee and went home.Sitting in the small room and looking up at the balloon floating above my head, I seemed to be in a better mood. I turned on the TV and took out my cell phone to browse the news on the Internet.My laptop had been taken away by Lita so I couldn't work at home.I browsed the newsfeed on Facebook an

Soon, we arrived at the floor where Jessica's ward lay. When we went over, a nurse happened to come out of it. Upon seeing us, she greeted Oogway respectfully, "Dean Oogway.""Yes." Oogway nodded and asked, "How's Miss Jessica?"After Jessica was transferred here, Oogway completed the registration for her under the name of Jessica Drake.As for this, I didn't raise any objections about it. Because in my opinion, the Newman Family no longer regarded her as a family member.The nurse replied, "The patient has fallen asleep. I measured her temperature just now. It's normal. This afternoon, we examined her, only to find that she is seriously malnourished. She suffers from a low degree cataract in her eyes. More heinously, there are parasites inside her body. Besides..."Standing there, the nurse told us about the situation of Jessica roughly.Hearing the ins and outs, Kelvin looked serious on the side.Oogway asked, "Can we go in and have a look at her?""Yes. But she has fallen asleep. H

Kelvin spoke loudly over the phone.Moreover, it was pretty quiet inside the car. Oogway seemed to hear his words and glanced at me out of the corner of his eyes, "Is Mr. Kelvin coming over?"I nodded.Oogway immediately said, "Then I'll arrange a room for him on the top floor of the rehabilitation center.""Well, sorry to trouble you."I was grateful for Oogway's attentiveness.As we were about to arrive home. I suddenly remembered something and said to Oogway, "Can you take me somewhere?""Yes, I can." Oogway nodded.I got an address online and sent it to him.Oogway immediately turned the car around and drove there with me.As he turned the car around, he raised his hand and looked at me with some displeasure, saying, "In the future, wherever you want to go, just tell me directly. You don't have to ask my opinion first. I will always be available for you."I nodded. Only after that did I tell him where I was going.It was a light and textile market selling cloth and hand made craf

I went up and supported Jessica readily. Fearing that she wouldn't accept it, I said, "Aunt, can I bathe you? By the way... I can bathe your baby too.""It sounds good!" Jessica accepted it happily.All the nurses looked at me with strange looks.Ignoring the looks, I stepped forward and helped Jessica take a bath.The rehabilitation center of the Way Hospital was in a good condition. There was a Jacuzzi. After I finished pouring the water into the bath, I let Jessica sit inside.I cleaned up the doll first. Seeing that, Jessica became quite obedient.I bathed her with scented soap first and then rubbed her with a bath towel little by little.It had been a long time since Jessica took a bath, making her body covered with a layer of shell like and hard skin. Seeing so, I asked Oogway to fetch me some white vinegar. After that, I bathed her bits by bits.Sensing that the water turned cold, I scooped the cold water out with a basin and added hot water in.Because it had been years sinc

I stood still and said to her, "We won't do that. We... we'll transfer you and your child to a better place. She... She..." I hesitated for a moment and said, "She is all grown up. And she will have to go to school soon. It's not good for her to be here. She has to go to a better place where there are teachers to impart her knowledge, which is good for her."Upon hearing this, Jessica stared at me with her pair of clear and bright eyes as if she had understood my words and suddenly became as obedient as a child, saying, "Really? Is it true that someone will teach her?""Yes, it is true. The teacher is great and experienced. Any child who follows him can learn a lot and become smart." I tried to persuade her.Jessica nodded desperately, "Okay, okay. That will be so great." She looked at the doll in her arm, "Reed, did you hear that? You can learn soon.""Yes, yes." I echoed. And my tears kept falling.Oogway patted me on the shoulder and said, "Come on, let's go transfer her to another

The nurse took us inside and said, "To be honest, before you, nobody visited the patients here. Generally speaking, the reason why people send patients here is that they have a guilty conscience. They are too embarrassed to kill them and yet find them a burden. So they send them here and pay for their stay here to keep their conscience at bay."The more the nurse said, the more upset I felt.It was quiet on the fifth floor as well.I saw that there was a small window on the door of each ward. With the window high up on the door, someone my height couldn't see what was inside.However, Oogway was taller. He looked around with a frown and a dignified look on his face.Seeing him look like this, I was worried."Bang!" When we were going, a sound rang all of a sudden.I was so frightened that I shrank backward and looked at the door where the noise came from, only to find a face attached tightly to the window on the door.The face was black, dirty, and skinny.The pair of eyes above were

Oogway and I arrived at the gate together.As expected, there was a security guard at the gate . We went over and saw the old security guard laying there in a thick military green overcoat, listening to music.The sound of the music was quite loud.It wasn't until we called him for a long while that he heard us.Looking at us in discontent, the old guard got up and opened the window of the gatehouse, leaving it ajar."Hello, we want to...""No visit is allowed during the New Year."As soon as I opened my mouth, the guard snapped. After that, he closed the window.He was afraid that we would harass him. Then he locked the window from inside.I became anxious all of a sudden.Oogway beside me wasn't in a hurry at all.He reached out, took out his wallet from his pocket, and took out a stack of pink banknotes before putting them in front of the window.The security guard's eyes lit up as soon as he saw the money. Instead of opening the window, he came out directly from the gatehouse, o

I glanced at it and found that there seemed to be an inkstone in the first box.But what was different was that the inkstone wasn't black but red.I was confused. However, as soon as the Master of the Newman Family saw this, his hands began to tremble. Placing his hand a few meters away from the inkstone, he seemed to intend to touch it but dared not do so.After a long while, he asked, "Is this for me?""Of course, it is a red silk inkstone I got by chance. I don't know about this kind of inkstones. It will be a waste if I keep it by my side."Oogway said casually.Although he spoke lightly, I could tell that this inkstone should be quite rare."Thank you, Mr. Oogway." When the Master spoke, he had been staring at the inkstone. It wasn't until a long time later that he gently caressed it with his hands.His expression showed that he loved it so much that he couldn't bear to let it go.After that, Oogway said to the maid, "Open this too."Hearing his words, the maid opened the secon

There was a cold and determined look in his eyes. Confirming that he wouldn't say it, I wouldn't force him further.Moreover, I knew well that I couldn't control what they were going to do.What I could do was to protect Bryan well in case he would get hurt.I nodded lightly, "Okay. Then I'll go and accompany Bryan."As soon as I intended to open the door, Dave directly pulled me from behind with force. I was caught off guard and fell backward.The next second, I directly sat in Dave's arms.My face turned red. And I said, "No." I struggled to get up. However, Dave restrained me firmly in his arms and placed his other hand on my waist. Holding my waist with both hands, he said to me, "Turn around.""No. I'm leaving.""You can't." Dave refused.I closed my eyes, thinking about Oogway's words and my own identity.Although I wanted to be closer to Dave, I couldn't do it with my identity.I was Oogway's fiancee. Regardless of the excuse, the identity, or the reason. I made up my mind,

It was night. Even so, I could clearly feel Oogway kept staring at me closely with his pair of profound eyes.Oogway patted me on the shoulder and left.After he left, Bryan, who had been following Dave, suddenly ran over, "Mom, let's set off fireworks together!""Ah... Okay." I nodded.At this moment, Jamin, who had been standing outside all this while, turned around and entered the room.In the blink of an eye, only the three of us were outside the house.We set off most of the fireworks. By the time it was 1 a.m., Bryan was so sleepy that he couldn't even open his eyes. Thus, we stopped setting off the fireworks.The maid took the fireworks into the room.Holding Bryan in my arms, I said to Dave, "Then we will go back."After that, I turned around, intending to ask the driver to drive us back, only to be suddenly pulled by Dave. Then, I heard his magnetic voice, "Stay here tonight."My heart thumped."Being here without Oogway.. Won't that mean..."In fact, I didn't want to leave a
