Chapter 308 Karl’s Punishment
Hailey had a splitting headache. Her vision was blurred. She could barely keep her eyes open. The deep and
helpless voice of Joe seemed to ring in her ears. “You’re really not afraid of death.”
And then, countless headlights cast over, along with many figures. A familiar voice called out to her repeatedly,
“Hailey…”
She seemed to be picked up and fall into a pair of warm arms. She felt tired at that moment. She had tried so hard to love someone. She had tried so hard to live’a good life. She had tried to protect her loved ones, but she
could never get her parents back..
When she woke up and opened her eyes, she immediately smelled disinfectant.
“She woke up.” A bunch of people swarmed over. Hailey felt a little dizzy and shut her eyes. When she opened
them again, Owen’s head came into view.
She looked at him and yelped, “Gee, you grow new hair?”
In the ward, Owen leaned against the window and listened to Jared’s scolding. Hailey was uncontrollably
distracted by Owen’s head. He indeed had grown new hair. It was short. He used to be like this when he was in the army. It added some toughness to him. He looked like this when she first met him. Their first meeting was
always unforgettable. She couldn’t help glancing at her first love.
Jared noticed her vacant look, stood akimbo in anger, and snapped, “Hailey, I’m talking to you. Are you
listening?”
“Yes,” she was startled by his loud voice and quickly responded. At the sight of his sullen face, she had to coax him, “Alright, alright, I’m sorry. My approach was a bit risky, but we caught him.”
“It was more than risky, okay?” Jared pulled a long face and poked her forehead which was covered with gauze,
“That was a pyrrhic victory!”
“Ow… ouch!” Hailey grunted in pain. Owen got anxious, unconsciously straightened up, and glared at Jared. “That’s enough. Hailey is injured. Go easy on her.” Kyle came up to stop the violent man. Upon learning about the incident, Kyle rushed to Poya by plane together with Nicholas. He was terrified.
“Hailey, I have to say this. Your action was ill-considered.” Still suttering from the aftershock, Kyle criticized his sister, “This was a serious matter Why did you act without consulting us? What, you’re full fledged now
and no longer need us?”
He involuntarily raised his voice Hailey hung her head, pursed her lips, and uttered no sound.
“All right, enough for the scolding” Upon receiving the news, Randal asked tor leave and hurried over without
even changing his costume. He wasn’t relieved until he confirmed that she was fine.
Randal, the gentlest among her brothers, came over and stroked her head “How are you feeling? Dizzy?
Hungry?”
