The CEO's Switched Bride Chapter 64
It was unknown how long I had been sleeping when I heard my cell phone ring. I picked it up vaguely and placed it next to my ear."Hey, do you know Haick Grimm?"Over the phone came the voice of a young man with a local dialect.These words made me sober in an instant, "Yes!"Then I looked at the phone screen and noticed the caller ID was Haick.The one over the phone explained the situation to me. Haick was drunk and the young man couldn't access his cell phone since it was locked. He called the emergency contact saved on the phone and he reached me.Haick had my number saved as his emergency contact...Thinking back to Haick's haggard look when I saw him earlier, I suddenly became nervous.I promised to go there right away.After I hung up, I looked at the time and saw it was 1:20 a.m.I put on a coat and headed outside.I stood at the entrance of the residential quarter. At this time, there weren't any taxis on the street and I couldn't even book a car online successfully.While

I sat at the door of the operation room and waited.After a couple more hours, Haick was finally pushed out of the operating room and transferred to a ward. Fearing that he would feel abandoned when he woke up, I guarded him for the rest of the dawn.At 9 a.m. in the morning, Haick woke up.It was his cell phone that woke him up.As soon as his cell phone rang, Haick woke up as if he had gone crazy. I had no choice but to hold the phone for him."Mr. Hammond, you asked me to drink yesterday. I did as you said and I'm even lying in the hospital at the moment. You can't go back on your words!"I vaguely heard Mr. Hammond say he had said so because he was drunk and that it didn't count at all.I felt indignant for Haick!Haick begged him with all his might but in the end, Mr. Hammond hung up the phone without a care.Seeing Haick lying on the bed and looking at the ceiling in a daze, I tried to seem energetic. I went over and pinched his face, "Don't worry. I have a solution.""Reed, I

Oogway and I had just met each other a few times. However rich he was, I surely couldn't take fifty million dollars from him for free.If I got the money from him, it was unknown what would happen next.However, Oogway didn't intend to take the check back. Moreover, he seemed to have seen through my mind as he said, "I don't have any ulterior motive. I won't let you do anything for me because of this. In my eyes, this money is petty. As your neighbor, I am just giving you a helping hand."Oogway added, "There's no interest. You can pay it back to me slowly."In fact, accepting Oogway's money would be the best solution after all, there was a deadline to repay a mortgage loan from the bank. If Haick couldn't repay, my apartment would be taken away and Judith surely would blame me.However, I believed if Haick got the money, he surely would make a greater comeback.I, who had been hesitant, made up my mind to accept Oogway's money...At that time, "Din!."A sound came from the elevator b

When Haick was in the hospital, I went to accompany him and however late it was, Dave would always wait for me at the entrance of the hospital.It had been half a month since I went to work in the cafe shop when I bumped into Blue again after going back.This time, she looked better.I took the initiative to talk to her. It was probably because Haick's company was in a good condition that she was in a good mood. She wasn't b*tchy to me anymore but when we were chatting, I found out something unacceptable to me.Blue told me Haick Design was now a subordinate company of Mitaka Group. Dave hired a professional manager to take care of Haick Design.As for Haick, he was now only the Director of the Design Department.It was somewhat difficult for me to accept this fact.I often saw Dave in recent days and I occasionally contacted Haick but neither of them told me about this.It should be Dave who had forced Haick to keep it from me.Although I was angry, I still had to continue my work.

I got up and headed for the guest bedroom but Dave hugged me from behind, lowered his head, and asked, "Were you waiting for me to come back?"As soon as he got close to me, I smelled all the various fragrances mixed together and frowned.I couldn't help but sneeze.Dave quickly loosened his grip, took off his coat, and apologized, "I'm sorry."As soon as he loosened his grip, I continued to walk away. Dave grabbed my arm and asked, "Why are you still up at such a late time? Is there something wrong?"He knew me very well. After all, I had been trying my best to draw a clear line with him but I was up and waiting tonight.I turned around but before I could say anything, Dave added, "You want to ask about Haick's company. Is that it? I think you'd better ask him. I didn't intend to take over his company. He asked me to.""He asked you to and you agreed just like that? Mr. Mitaka, when did you become so kind?"I surely wouldn't be convinced by his words but the next second, Dave gave m

"Haick, don't waste time on me. I will indeed divorce Dave but after the divorce, I probably won't get married."I lowered my eyes."Well, let's think about what to eat now."Haick changed the subject again.However, when we walked forward, I heard him say, "If you won't get married, I will be single for the rest of my life as well."At that moment, I felt a little warm hearted.After we had dinner, Haick took me to an amusement park and caught a big pink leopard doll for me.Haick sent me back all the way to the entrance of my residential quarter. When I got out of the car, I bumped into Lita, who just came out of the residential quarter.Thud! At the sight of her, I felt my heart skip a beat."What are you doing here?" The first thing that came to my mind was Dave had taken her to my apartment. Would he have done that?Lita rolled her eyes at me and said, "Why should I tell you what I do? It should be me asking you that question instead. Could it be that some lover of your's is l

The orphanage looked same as it used to when Dave and I had been here. The children were very happy and lively.Several children were playing basketball in the basketball court.As soon as I went in, the old dean came out to welcome me.After chatting with him for a while, I told him I was resting today so I passed by to check on the kids. The old dean said casually, "When you are free, you can come here to be a volunteer. Although I can't pay you, there would be free lunch."His words enlightened me and I agreed right on the spot.I spent the whole day hanging out with the children.There were children of different ages in the orphanage. I was mainly playing with the children who were three or four years old.Looking at them, I couldn't help but think, "If my child was still alive, he would be one and a half years old now."When I left, I made an appointment with the old dean I would come back to accompany the children every Tuesday and Wednesday.........................A week la

It was clearly illustrated on the billboard that a press conference about a new book publication held by the genius designer, Lita Defiant, would be held here today.In less than a month, Lita had published her design works as well as her books.No wonder she cared so much about the design draft in my hand. After all, once I exposed her, all of her "efforts" would be in vain.But since I was already here, I could only take the coffee in.Inside, a staff member came over and pointed to a place not far ahead for me to drop the coffee and leave.Lita was surrounded by a group of people for an interview not far away from me and I didn't want to get involved with her so I walked over, placed down the coffee, and intended to leave.Just then, I heard someone on the side say, "Oh, this delivery woman looks a lot like Miss Defiant."Everyone was staring at me at this point.I lowered my head as I tried to leave, only to be blocked by the ones who swarmed over.Then, I heard Lita shouting behi

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

I leaned on Oogway and played with my cell phone for a while before falling asleep.Located in the city center, Jamin's house was surrounded by residential communities. As soon as it was midnight, the sounds of firecrackers rang from all directions!I opened my eyes. Beside me, Oogway sat there with the same posture as he had before I went to bed.He looked at me. "You up?""Yes." I nodded and glanced at the watch on my cell phone, only to find that it had been midnight.Glamourous fireworks was on outside the window.Looking at Bryan sleeping soundly, I somewhat couldn't bear to wake him up.Oogway seemed to sense my hesitation and said with a smile, "Wake him up. It happens once a year. Otherwise, he will blame you."I nodded and patted Bryan's shoulder lightly. Putting my face close to his ear, I whispered, "Baby, get up, they've started setting off the firecrackers."Hearing my words, Bryan seemed to have been awakened by an alarm.He immediately opened his eyes and sat up from t

Oogway wasn't in a hurry. He slowly opened his mouth, "In fact, speaking of the dealership of this drug, across the whole country, there is at least...""Well, she was slow witted. My parents took her girl away and abandoned her, stimulating her in an instant. Then she was more out of her mind and scratched my mother's face, making it covered with bruises! So my parents sent her to a mental hospital!"James couldn't hold it in any longer and blurted it out in an instant.It turns out that my mother had experienced these. Then who on earth is my irresponsible father? According to what Kelvin said, my mother was beautiful and smart. When she left European Architecture, she was a normal person. How come she went crazy after returning to the City?I asked, "Which mental hospital did they sent her to?"James waved his hand, "I sincerely don't know this. That's all I know. I've said everything that I can say. As for the others, I have no idea about them.""Okay." Oogway nodded, "I'll ask m
