Chapter 619
“I don’t really wanna go out these days”, said Theresa.
“All right.” Mr. Garson respected her choice. “Just feel free to tell me anytime you need help.”
Theresa gave him a grateful nod. “Thank you, Mr. Garson. And please help me send my thanks to Mr. White.”
After a light nod, Mr. Garson led his men out of the door.
Theresa gazed after them at the door till they disappeared, her heart still fluttering with fear. It suddenly dawn on her how naive she was to think that she had perfectly covered her track by just staying indoors and concealing address. Mr. Garson’s visit today shattered all her illusions. Had it not been for their help, she might have been found by Charlie Calsis.
Back to the kitchen, Theresa had a look at the fresh seafood. Ben came over at this moment. “Wow, so many shrimps! Mom.”
“Wanna have it for breakfast?”
“Yes!” Ben nodded eagerly.
A smile played on Theresa’s lips when she cast a tender gaze over Ben. “Then go wake your brother up. I’ll make it for you now.” Leonard should still be sleeping at this hour. Sleep took up most of his time except studying now.
The boys were salivating as the shrimps were served, but an abrupt ring from Theresa’s phone broke the atmosphere.
It was a message from Jimmy Watson. [Your father’s sick and hospitalized.]
Theresa remained skeptical of his words though she knew Jimmy was in charge of company affairs recently. [Save your breathe. I don’t buy it.]
[Believe it or not, I’m just telling the truth. Charlie has been making things difficult for your father so as to press for your whereabouts. But Mr. Cameron remains unforthcoming. He now even shields you from the truth that he’s sick.]
