Chapter 107 – Sheepish teenager
“Nothing to do with you? Don’t pretend, didn’t you tell the truth about last night?”
[I don’t know what you’re talking about.]
Edith sized her up, trying to see something on her face, and said suspiciously, “Really, you didn’t say that?”
[What should I say?
“You better not have said it, I tell you, if it affects the business of both the Walsh family and the Howard family because you said it, Alan won’t let you off the hook.”
Edith’s voice was cold, “the Howard family has decided to send Tina abroad to convalesce, and for you, that’s something to celebrate, right?”
Lexie looked at Edith quietly, [At the Mitchell family’s winery, you arranged for me to crash them, right?
Edith’s face froze, “What are you babbling about?”
[You came to me so furiously because you were worried about something happening to Tina, or you were afraid that without her as a knife, there would be no one to use as a gun for you in the future?
Lexie hit the nail on the head, nailing Edith’s dirty mind in no uncertain terms.
Where did she ever really consider Tina as a sister, but just a murderous knife.
Edith was furious, “So what if you are? Who the hell do you think you are? You think I’m worthy to do it myself?”
[Is he treating you well?
“What are you talking about?”
Lexie writes three words on a Post-it note and slowly pushes it to Edith.
The word ‘Bob’ is extraordinarily clear and strong.
Edith’s face went pale.
“You … you …”
Lexie rang the bell at hand and the assistant outside immediately opened the door and came in, “Mrs. Howard, what can I do for you?”
[Sending guests.]
Edith stared at Lexie incredulously for a long time before coming back to her senses and gritting her teeth.
“Lexie, wait for me.”
After Edith left, Lexie leaned back in her chair for a long time, her eyes all quiet.
Tina’s miscarriage is the last straw that broke the camel’s back, and she seems to have lost her mind.
Alan really doesn’t suspect that this has anything to do with him at all?
Never.
Tina and Bob’s engagement fell out, for the Howard family is a disadvantage, but for Alan is confronting Lennox, but the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
The lesser of two evils.
You’re just pushing the envelope!
In the evening, Lexie packed up her materials and left work, and asked her grandma to have dinner with her today.
Grandmother habitually glanced behind her and was disappointed again.
“I’ve told you many times to bring that Alan back for me to take a look at, but why hasn’t there been any movement so far?”
[He’s busy at work and will come when he has time].
“I don’t know if it’s true,” Grandma frowned, “I’m not an old feudal mind, if you really can’t live, divorce him early, there is no delay in finding someone else.”
Lexie gave her grandma a bowl of food, smiling and not answering, and muddled the matter again.
After accompanying Grandma to dinner, Lexie went downstairs alone.
A figure sneaking around the neighborhood, hiding behind a tree.
Lexie’s heart tightened, and subconsciously reached into her bag, clutching her accompanying anti-poaching alarm, which she immediately dropped on the ground as soon as the other party made any movement.
For some time now, she has been feeling like someone is watching her.
No, she had to find out who it was!
“What people? What are you doing hiding somewhere?”
A reprimanding male voice suddenly came, startling the figure hiding behind a tree.
A look at the community security, the figure immediately ran towards the entrance of the community.
“Stop!” The security guard drew his legs and gave chase.
Lexie was stunned in place for a few seconds and went after her.
When I first found this neighborhood for my grandmother, I was looking at the good security here, the security guards are young and strong, and indeed before the man ran to the entrance of the neighborhood, he was jumped to the ground by the security guards.
There were many residents around who came out for a walk, gathered in twos and threes, and immediately surrounded the security guard and the ‘thief’.
“Is this the person who was burglarized in the neighborhood in the past two days?”
“Eighty percent is.”
“Looking pretty young, what’s wrong with doing something?”
“Kids these days are loafing around.”
“…”
Gossiping, Lexie looked inside from afar.
It was a teenager, looking young, just about 20 years old, dressed up in a flowing manner, a blond hair is particularly conspicuous.
“What’s wrong with him?” Suddenly someone exclaimed, and the crowd scattered outward like a tidal wave.
The man who had been jumped to the ground by the security guard suddenly convulsed wildly, spitting out large clouds of white foam from his mouth, his eyes rolled straight up, and this hideous look scared all passers-by.
Lexie, however, reacted immediately.
Sheep epilepsy.
She immediately rushed up, pushed aside the pointing crowd, squatted on the ground, picked the teenager’s head up directly, went around from behind, flipped out a signature pen and snapped it hard in his mouth, separating his tongue and the upper and lower rows of teeth.
While doing this, she made a motion towards the people around her to make a phone call.
A passerby soon responded, “Call an ambulance, right?”
Lexie nodded her head desperately.
“Okay, I’ll make the call.”
The ambulance soon arrived, Lexie is considered the first witness, and the first time out of the first aid, so was called by the paramedics, accompanied all the way to the hospital piece.
Hospital Emergency Department.
“You handled it well, did you learn it before?”
After the nurse checked on the patient, she pulled the curtain closed and came out to talk to Lexie, “What are you to him?”
Lexie shook her head repeatedly and wrote a line to the nurse, [Just passing by and met it, by the way, can I go now?
“Huh? You don’t know him, huh? Then who signed for him?”
The nurse froze, turned her head to look at the emergency room bed and patted the side of the bed, “Hey, talk when you wake up, people send you to the hospital you can’t let them pay your bill, right?”
Behind the curtain, the teenager’s figure shrank back significantly, closing his eyes in a play dead.
In fact, he woke up long ago and deliberately pretended to be asleep.
Lexie held out her hand and took the payment slip.
[Give it to me.]
After paying the fee, Lexie returned with the bill.
The teenager was still lying in a makeshift bed in the emergency room, his blond hair sticking out against the white pillows.
Lexie stood next to her for a while, put the slip for the medication on the side of the bed, tore up another sticky note, wrote down a line with a brush and set it aside.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
After doing so, she left.
After Lexie left, the teenager opened his eyes and got up from the hospital bed, seeing the sticky note on the side of the pillow, “Remember to take the list to get the medicine when you wake up, I paid the money, don’t worry.”
The handwriting was clear and the teenager looked at the direction Lexie left with a complicated look.
