Josh knew Eloise's personality, her mother was her only weak spot. She could not wait until after 24 hours.
The next morning, all he needed was to slightly pressurize Eloise. Then, she would have no choice but to find Hector to discuss the collaboration.
Agnes was sitting aside, she also knew about this good news. There was a smile on her face but she had no idea why there was a sense of insecurity in her heart.
'Would everything just go as smooth as what father imagined?'
At that moment, the doorbell rang. Josh was shocked, 'It is so late, would it be Eloise who came to our house?'
Upon thinking, Josh stood up and opened the door. He was astonished when he saw two police officers were standing right outside his door.
"Officers, what happen..."
Eloise was standing right behind the two police officers, she was staring at Josh with a piercing cold look.
The police said, "Mr. Thompson, we found out that you have illegally brought a patient away from the hospital. Please return the patient immediately or else we will need to arrest you."
After saying that, Josh's facial expressions changed.
He had already guessed that Eloise would call the police, but he did not expect the police would take care of the whole situation. Besides, this person had not even been missing for over twenty-four hours yet.
Why did the police come directly to him? Was it because Robin had already been exposed? What a useless garbage.
Josh's look was terrible and he managed to force a smile..
"Police, there must be some misunderstanding. I just want to send my ex-wife to a better place with better treatment. I have not discussed this with Eloise in advance. I am so sorry to bother you guys."
Staring at Josh's face, Eloise only felt disgusted. He obviously wanted to threaten her with her mom, but he was shameless enough to say that he wanted to take care of her mom.
"It is all my fault, Eloise. You can ask the police to leave, it is in the middle of the night..."
Josh was staring at Eloise with dangerous intentions in his eyes. That look seemed to say, 'If you don't ask the police to leave now, then don't blame me if I am ruthless to your mom!'
There were police right here, Eloise was not afraid that Josh might do something to her mom now.
A hint of mockery flashed in her eyes and she indifferently said, "My mom had nothing to do with you a long time ago, I can take care of her on my own. Mr. Thompson, I don't want to bother you as you are just her ex-husband."
Josh was so mad that his face turned blue, but there was nothing that he could do as the police were right there.
The police were staring at Josh, they were urging him to immediately tell them Maryam's whereabouts.
Josh gritted his teeth. A trace of reluctance flickered in his eyes. But he knew he was unable to muddle through this situation.
Eventually, Josh gave a location. It was a small clinic in City J.
"Ha, Mr. Thompson, so this is what you meant by taking care of my mother?"
Eloise was ironically looking at Josh. He was hiding a person in such a small clinic. Wouldn't he be afraid that her mother might need to have surgery in case of emergencies?
After getting the location, Eloise did not continue to tangle with Josh but followed the police and left.
The clinic was located in a remote place. The journey back and forth to settle down Maryam at the hospital was finally ended after midnight.
Upon watching her mother lying peacefully on her own sickbed, Eloise could not stop the tears from falling off in her eyes. She held Maryam's hand then sobbed and yelled, "Mom..."
Eloise could not even imagine if there was something bad happened to her mom, what should she do in the future?
"Ms. Thompson, since we have found your mother, we will leave now. If you encounter any problems, feel free to call us again."
Eloise wiped off the tears on her face, she said remorsefully, "Police officers, thank you for your help. It is so late at night, thank you so much."
"You are welcome, Ms. Thompson. This is our job."
