As she walked, she wondered what excuse she could use to take her parents away.
After all, they had only been here for a short time, and there were so many dishes left on the table that her parents would not leave without some special reason.
She had to think of something that made sense, that wouldn’t be suspected.
But such reasons were not easy to find.
Makayla Gardner was getting more and more upset when Mrs. Gardner suddenly said, “Makayla, what happened? Why are you so pale all of a sudden?”
“Nothing.”
Makayla Gardner looked up and was about to reply that she was all right when she thought of something and a light flashed in her eyes.
Yes, pale. Wasn’t that a very good excuse?
Makayla Gardner smiled at the thought, but afraid she would be seen, so she quickly put it away again. Then suddenly her face changed, and she put her hand to her heart with an expression of great discomfort.
Startled, Both Trenton Gardner and his wife stood up.
“Makayla, what’s wrong?” Mrs. Gardner hurried around the table toward Makayla Gardner.
Trenton Gardner didn’t speak, but there was unabashed tension on his face.
Makayla Gardner saw that they were worried, and with a twinkle in her eyes she knew her plan was half done.
But that wasn’t enough. She needed to make it big.
Makayla Gardner let out a cry of feigned greater discomfort and gradually sank to the ground, as if she were dying of some sudden illness.
And it really scared Trenton Gardner and his wife.
“Makayla, what happened?” Mrs. Gardner was so worried that she could cry.
Trenton Gardner picked Makayla up from the ground and asked, “Yeah, Makayla, come on, what’s wrong with you? Don’t scare us.”
“Dad,” Makayla Gardner clutched her heart, panting violently, her eyes staring at Trenton Gardner. Then her mouth quivered and she replied weakly, “I… I feel terrible, I…”
The voice stopped abruptly.
Then, Makayla Gardner passed out in Trenton Gardner’s arms.
Trenton Gardner shook her, but she didn't respond.
It scared the hell out of Trenton Gardner, “Makayla!”
“Honey, come on, let’s get Makayla to the hospital.” Mrs. Gardner, her eyes red with worry, hastily warned.
Trenton Gardner regained some sense, then he nodded his head and said, “Yeah, hospital. Hospital. Let’s go. Let’s go.”
With that, the two of them walked quickly to the door with Makayla Gardner in their arms.
In the hallway, Jared was still smoking against the wall next to his room.
He had almost finished the cigarette, but he did not put it out and went back to the room. Instead, he kept staring at one of the rooms opposite, as if he were waiting for something.
Makayla Gardner just texted back that she would take Mr. and Mrs. Gardner away soon.
He wanted to see how long it would take her.
Jared took a puff of smoke and put it on the ashtray on top of the nearby smoking bin. When he tapped the stick with his finger, the ash fell off and fell into the ashtray.
Then there was a noise from one of the rooms opposite.
Jared was about to take another puff, but when he heard the noise, he suddenly changed his mind and slammed the end of his cigarette into the ashtray to put it out.
As soon as he finished, he dropped his cigarette into the ashtray, and the door of a private room diagonally opposite swung open. A couple that Jared knew well came rushing out of the room, holding one person.
Jared immediately recognized the couple as Trenton Gardner and Mrs. Gardner.
