Chapter 15 Reunion
Taylor frowned. Before she replied, a gentle but anxious voice came.”Kevin, are you trying to kill me?”
On the hospital bed, a gentle middle-aged woman in a hospital gown struggled to get out of bed. Her hair had been shaved off. Although she was skinny because of illness and her cheeks were sunken, she was still gentle.
It was her aunt, Leah Green.
Taylor took several quick steps and sat beside the bed. She held her hand and called out,”Aunt.”
Leah recognized her,”Taylor, you look like your mother now,”her eyes brimming with tears.
Her voice trembled,”You’ve suffered outside for so many years.”
During the five years abroad, Kevin did not give her a penny, but Leah gave her some money.
Although there was not much money, it was her intention.
Taylor felt warm in her heart.
At this time, her stepmother Morgan said,”Taylor, your aunt has been kind to you since you were a child. Now she is ill, you are the only one who can help her! Will you let her suffer?”
Taylor frowned.
A brain tumor…
She picked up the medical record and CT scans next to her and looked at them carefully.
Morgan said,”Taylor. No doctor is willing to perform the surgery since this operation is extremely tricky. Tina’s medical school teacher Victor Weed also happens to be the chief of neurosurgery in this hospital. He might give it a try if Tina pleads for his help.”
Speaking of this, Morgan sighed.”But now Richard said he won’t marry your sister if Tina doesn’t take over the company. Tina is upset now. She can’t ask her teacher for help in this mood. So, as long as you give the company to your sister and then Tina will beg Victor. Your aunt’s life depends on your decision.”
After Morgan finished speaking, Kevin roared,”And you messed up Tina’s proposal, seduced Richard, and beat her up. You must apologize to her!”
Morgan pretended to be generous,”We are family. No need to apologize. Taylor, your aunt can’t wait. You’d better sign the contract now.”
While they were talking, Taylor finished reading her aunt’s brain CT scans.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
The situation was troublesome. The tumor wrapped around the blood vessels. If the doctor was not careful enough, there would be a chance that her aunt would die during the operation.
Not to mention Victor in this city, few doctors dared to do such an operation even if they went to Parkgrove.
Except for her.
Hearing these words, Leah roared angrily,”The company is the only thing her mother left. How can you two be so shameless?”
Morgan smiled,”What do you mean by leaving it for Taylor? At that time, Taylor’s mother and Kevin were still husband and wife. The company was also Kevin’s property.”
“You are shameless…”Leah looked at Taylor,”Don’t listen to them. Even if you sign the contract, there is a high chance that I will die. You’d better leave now!”
“Okay, I’ll come to see you when I’m free.”Taylor put down his aunt’s medical records and turned to leave the ward.
Leah’s condition was very serious and she could not wait any longer. What was important now was to find a hospital for the surgery first, she needed to use their equipment and venue.
Kevin and Morgan didn’t expect her to leave the ward so quickly.
Kevin scolded Taylor,”What an ungrateful woman. It’s a waste of you to treat her so well!”
Morgan also said sarcastically,”She was such an ingrate!”
Leah’s eyes turned red.”It has nothing to do with her…”
–
In the presidential suite on the top floor of Kempinski Hotels.
“Gene, why didn’t you finish the classwork I gave you at noon? How can we teach in the afternoon? You should finish it first.”
Gene looked at the classwork which was not assigned at noon.
He stared at his tutors silently.
The family teacher said discontentedly,”Why are you looking at me? I heard that your father had completed the courses when he was your age. But you even don’t know this question. Your mother must be a woman of low intelligence!”
Gene reacted when he heard the word”Mother”. He tightened his jaw, picked up the pen, and began to write on the homework.
He had already learned these questions.
His mommy was not stupid!
But as soon as he finished writing, he heard the tutor say,”Your answer is wrong. I have told you so many times to write down the process. Hold out your hand!”
Why did he need to write down the answer process to such a simple question?
Gene didn’t move.
The tutor immediately grabbed his hand and hit him hard in the palm with a ruler.
“Clap clap clap!”
Gene’s hand hurt, but he kept silent.
“This is a punishment for your carelessness. You can’t sit to listen to my class today.”
Gene had stood there for two hours when the tutors ended the afternoon lecture. They were still whispering as they went out,
“Can he not speak?”
“Don’t talk too much. Mrs. Smith told us to take good care of him!”
“Well, I’ll report it to Mr. Smith tonight. We must make him sound naughty. A child who doesn’t write homework is not a good boy!”
After they left, Gene looked at the homework assigned by the tutors on the table. He knew what they would say to his father.
Even if he wrote, the two tutors would still say that he had not completed his homework.
But he didn’t want to tell Julian because he would be… Thinking of the consequences, he pursed his lips tightly.
He just wanted to talk to his mommy and the little sister next door who played the game very well…
Thinking of this, he was upset.
The aunt next door was driven away and moved downstairs.
Downstairs…
Gene suddenly stood up. He put on his clothes and quietly walked out of the door. He couldn’t take the elevator because the bodyguards were all there.
He slipped along the corner of the wall to the stairwell, pushed the door open, and ran in.
At the same time.
Kate, who was downstairs, sneaked out while Mrs. Weed was busy preparing dinner.
Yesterday she didn’t make it to the top floor. Today, she wanted to find her father!
Kate was in a cool kid’s suit, she climbed up the stairs with difficulty owing to her short legs.
As she walked, she suddenly heard footsteps coming from above.
Kate looked up and saw Gene coming down.
“…”
They looked at each other. For a moment, nothing disturbed the silence here.
