As soon as I left HT Villa District, I received a call from Billie. At first, I thought she called to inform me about Davidson’s condition had deteriorated. But, as soon as I picked up, I heard a loud crying sound from the hospital and Billie was shouting on the other of the phone, “No...You can’t take away Davidson! Ms. Cornell, you need to come back soon, they are going to take Davidson away!"
"What's going on, Billie?" I was frightened by the crying sound on the other end of the phone, but Billie didn't answer me at all, and the phone was hung up. I had no time to hesitate but to hurry back to the hospital.
Before I entered the infusion room, I saw Billie was sitting in the corridor and crying her heart out. At the moment when she saw me, she quickly pulled me and vented her frustration, "Mrs. Cornell came here to take Davidson away. I resisted but they forcibly brought him out, and even fired me!"
Upon hearing this, my blood was boiling. I never thought that Shania and others would be so unreasonable. "Billie, don't worry about it. You go home first, and I will take Davidson back!" I reassured Billie. Since Billie was already an elder, and she had been here to take care of Davidson these days, if I kept on troubling her to help, I was afraid she couldn’t cope with the pressure and stress.
"But..." Billie was worry about me.
I smiled, "You don't have to worry as I won't be acting impulsively." After I had calmed Billie down, I hurried back to the Cornell family’s house, and I was stunned by the scene in front of me.
Davidson, who was still unconscious when I left, was not only awake at this moment, but he was also playing with Alicia, while Shania and Marvin were sitting on the sofa and watching TV. This scene with a family of four looked so harmonious that I almost suspected that I had entered the wrong house.
"How dare you to come!" When Marvin saw me, he became angry instantly, and he seemed to want to fight with me again after he got up.
Shania gently held Marvin’s hand, "Marvin, since Davidson has been brought home safely, you don't have to be angry. Also, no matter how she takes advantage of Davidson, she is his own sister. If you were to hit her in front of him, at the current Davidson's age, he will definitely be traumatized by what he sees!"
"Get out of here now!" Marvin directly threw an ashtray at me. Fortunately, I dodged fast enough. Otherwise, if I were to be hit by such a hard object, I would be admitted to the hospital.
However, I was not in the mood to argue with Marvin. I just wanted to make sure that Davidson was safe, and then took him away immediately. But, as soon as I got closer to him, Davidson looked terrified, and I was puzzled, "Davidson, come on. I'll take you home!"
Davidson shook his head repeatedly and fell back into Alicia's arms. She then smiled and looked at me, "My dear sister, stop scaring Davidson away. Isn't it enough for you to hurt Davidson!"
"Davidson, tell me. What have they done to you? As long as I'm here, you don’t have to be afraid!" I took a step forward towards Davidson, but he quickly ran upstairs in fear. I wanted to get up and chase after him, a hard slap from Marvin was landed on my cheek, "What a heartless brat. First, you lied to me for money, and now your auntie has finally rescued Davidson from your ruthlessness, how dare you come here pretending that you are nice. I'm going to kill you!" Marvin strangled my neck and beaten me up again. After the fight, he threw me out of the gate.
I stood outside and leaning against the stone wall. I did not even care that the pouring rain had soaked me, and I could not even bother that my whole body that full of many wounds and scars. I just wanted to know what had happened to Davidson, so I refused to leave.
However, Cheryl called me at this time and asked me to go to work. I tried to get work leave, but she refused to accept my request. Instead, she told me that I would be fired if I were absent that night.
Although I was not willing to work in the club, I absolutely couldn’t afford to lose this job. Moreover, Davidson’s 100,000 yuan operation fee had yet to be fully paid. Perhaps, I could ask Cheryl to pay my salary in advance, and this would be the last glimmer of hope I could hold on to.
As soon as I entered YES Club, the ladies who were standing at the door to greet the guests, looked at me strangely. They all appeared to be shocked as if I had become something weird, but then they sneered at me again.
