Justin Battleson furrowed his brows, his long legs striding as he left the room.
As the door shut, Sophie Allen looked up at the ceiling, taking in several deep breaths.
Composing herself, she quickly changed into her sleepwear, picked up her phone, and sure enough, saw Henry Hudson’s missed call.
Without any hesitation, she called back.
Soon, Henry Hudson’s elegant voice came through, "Charlotte, Aunt Watson has been found. She is in room 212 of the geriatric department at Mercy Hospital."
Upon hearing this news, Sophie covered her mouth, holding back her tears.
Good, she’s been found! She’s been found!
"Thank you, senior. I truly appreciate it." Only upon knowing that Aunt Watson was at the hospital did the weight in her heart lift.
"Mercy Hospital is primarily for the elderly. Aunt Watson’s condition is quite serious. I suggest transferring her to Ryan to undergo surgery." Henry Hudson had already received Aunt Watson’s medical record, and the situation wasn’t looking good.
Hearing this, Sophie couldn’t help but worry. However, her heart was filled more with rage.
Mia Stewart promised her that she would provide the best treatment for Aunt Watson, but in reality, she deceived her by sending Aunt Watson to a nursing home, with no intention of curing her. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel fire.net
"Senior, I’m going to transfer Aunt Watson now." Sophie quickly hung up the call, hastily changed her clothes, and ran out of Stardust Garden.
The man stood by the French windows, his hands behind his back.
Before him, Sophie’s frightened face kept flashing in his mind.
Suppressing his emotions, he turned to Jones George and ordered, "Look up Sophie’s information. I need every detail."
Justin Battleson raised his hand to signal him to stop. His cold, deep eyes were staring straight towards the direction of Stardust Garden’s entrance.
Under the streetlight, a petite figure was running away until they disappeared from his sight.
Could it be... Sophie was frightened away by him?
Narrowing his eyebrows, Justin Battleson coldly ordered, "Sophie has left. Have someone follow her and see what she is up to tonight."
"Yes, Mr. Battleson," Jones George responded, scratching his head in confusion.
Isn’t she just a contractual wife? Why is Mr. Battleson so concerned?
On the other hand, the woman from Litchlodge seemed to be neglected.
He couldn’t decipher Mr. Battleson’s thoughts. Could Mr. Battleson perhaps be interested in this contractual wife?
After all, Mr. Battleson was an emotionless man, only feeling a sense of responsibility towards the woman from Litchlodge.
Could it be that our emotionless man is going to blossom?
Jones George was somewhat looking forward to it. Compared to the woman from Litchlodge, he found the woman from Stardust Garden more charming.
Moreover, she was, by right, Mrs. Battleson.
Sophie saw Aunt Watson and the two of them embraced, crying out loud.
"Charlotte, my lovely child, it’s all my fault..." Aunt Watson found out about her marriage and was writhing in pain, beating her chest.
Aunt Watson saw Sophie as her own daughter, the child she painstakingly brought up and for whom she would even marry a handicapped man.
Aunt Watson was filled with regret.
"Aunt Watson, don’t cry, I only have you left, don’t leave me," Sophie said, choking up. "Don’t worry, Ryan and my marriage is fake, and he can also lend me one million."
Sophie did her utter best to calm down Aunt Watson’s emotions.
Once Aunt Watson calmed down, Sophie immediately went to find a doctor to handle the discharge procedures but was rejected.
"You’re not Mrs. Watson’s daughter. If she wants to be discharged, let the person who admitted her come." The female doctor’s brows were furrowed, her attitude firm.
"Aunt Watson is all by herself, can’t she handle the discharge procedures?" Sophie noticed the doctor’s suspicious behavior and questioned her coldly.
"Right, she can’t!" the female doctor responded with an indifferent glance.
Sophie laughed coldly, "Doctor, have you accepted money from Mia Stewart?"
"You!" The female doctor started to avoid Sophie’s gaze.
"Do you still have medical ethics?" Sophie interrogated her.
Just then, the office door was pushed open and Mia Stewart and Emily Allen walked in, looking confident.
Emily Allen, looking malicious, rushed over and intended to slap Sophie.
This time, Sophie didn’t tolerate it and extended her hand to grab Emily’s wrist forcefully.
She had already found Aunt Watson and wouldn’t let Emily hurt her again.
Emily yelled in pain and cursed, "Sophie, you bitch! How dare you hurt Ryan’s manhood and almost make him lose his function!"
