In truth, Zion did it on purpose!
However, his pitiful eyes made the nurse unable to refuse the request.
"How about this? I'll go and call a doctor for the young miss inside, while you go to the bathroom inside the ward. However, you can't disturb her okay? She has a horrible temper."
The nurse discussed the plan with Zion.
Then, Zion replied fearfully, "But she's so scary!"
"Just ignore her. Right now, she can only lay down on her bed, so she won't hurt you if you don't piss her off. You go and pee while I call the doctor, okay?"
The nurse was a little anxious.
Although she didn't like Edolie at all, she had been employed by the Ye Family. So, she was afraid that she might be in trouble if something actually happened to Edolie.
Meanwhile, Zion had an extremely reluctant expression on his face but he was actually gleeful on the inside.
This was exactly the opportunity he wanted.
The nurse carried Zion in her arms back to the ward after he nodded at her.
Meanwhile, Edolie was in so much pain that her stomach bled. She was already livid, but she got even angrier when she saw the nurse carrying Zion inside the room.
"Didn't you just leave? Why have you come back? I'll consider keeping you employed if you get this kid out of here, or else..."
However, the nurse didn't even look at her as she carried Zion into the bathroom before she muttered, "Wait here for me, I'll call the doctor."
"Okay."
Zion acted very obedient.
Hence, the nurse's heart ached for this child, but she had no choice but to leave and get the doctor.
"Hey, come back!"
Edolie shouted angrily, but the nurse had already left.
The nurse was so anxious that she forgot about the alarm bell that was inside the ward.
Then, Zion left the bathroom as the nurse exited the room and he went up to Edolie.
When Edolie saw the look in Zion's eyes, she instantly knew that he was up to no good. After all, she'd been cast out on the streets since her youth, so she knew that the look in his eyes was a malicious one.
"Kid, what are you going to do?"
In fact, Edolie didn't really care about this random kid. So what if she killed him? After all, he brought this upon himself.
Then, Zion sneered and said, "You're a very arrogant person!"
"I have the privilege to be arrogant, so what are you going to do about it? I don't care who your parents are, just get out of here before I get really angry, or else you're gonna get a good beating."
Right now, Edolie was filled with rage towards Zion.
However, Zion was not afraid and he gave Edolie a once over before he asked faintly, "How did you get your wound?"
As he spoke, he reached out his hand and he poked at Edolie's wound hard.
"Ouch!"
Hence, Edolie was caught off guard and the pain made her shout out loud. Then, she slapped Zion's hand so hard that the skin on the back of his hand started to swell.
"Do you have a death wish, you little brat? I'll kill you!"
Edolie was in so much pain that her back broke out in cold sweat.
Then, Zion suddenly took out his cellphone and he took a few photos of his swollen hand before he sent it.
Thus, Edolie suddenly felt that something was wrong.
"Who did you send those pictures to?"
"I sent it to my parents. I'm going to tell my grandmother that you hit me."
Zion replied angrily with a domineering tone in his voice.
Then, Edolie suddenly sneered.
"Who the hell is your grandmother? Let me tell you, I'm not afraid even if you ask your father to confront me. I respect no one here, except the Ye Family. Kid, you should know who I am before you picked a fight with me."
Edolie couldn't care less about a child like Zion.
On the other hand, Zion's lips curled up into a smile.
The sound of a sent message from his phone reached Eddie’s ears once more.
Then, she frowned slightly.
"Get the hell out of my sight!"
"I wanna wait here until my grandmother arrives!"
Now, Zion looked as if he had been bullied.
Meanwhile, Edolie felt like she had a stroke of bad luck today. Why did she have to deal this little brat? Who were his parents?
"I'm warning you, if you don't leave now, I'll really hit you!"
"Don't you dare! My daddy is the most powerful person in Ocean City!"
Zion replied in a childish tone.
However, Edolie only sneered and said, "Ah, you're so short sighted! How could the most powerful man in Ocean City be your father? Are you going to leave or not?"
"No!"
Soon enough, Zion started to argue with Edolie.
Edolie was already dissatisfied when she didn't get the result she wanted with Mango, so she lacked any tolerance when Zion bothered her. After that, she twisted his ear and said in a harsh tone, "Are you leaving or not?"
"Ah... Ah... it hurts! Let go of me! My ear is falling off! I'm going to tell my grandma that you've bullied me! Even my mom and dad have never hit me, let go of me now!"
Zion shouted as he flailed his hands around wildly. However, he might have intentionally hit Edolie's wound in the midst of his struggles and it caused her so much pain that she broke out in a cold sweat as her anger rose.
Then, Madam Ye's face suddenly became very gloomy and she said to the driver, "Turn around and take us back to the Central Hospital! Hurry up!"
The driver rarely ever saw Madam Ye so angry, so he dared not dawdle and he immediately drove back to the Central Hospital.
Meanwhile, Nathaniel had also received the video.
He knew that Madam Ye had gone to the Shen family to convince them to take in Edolie. At the same time, Nathaniel had to settle some affairs with the company so Thomas had sent a laptop over to him.
Although he needed to rest now, he still had to deal with his work.
Just as he was having a meeting with the board of directors, he received Zion's video.
Nathaniel glanced at the video and wondered what his son was up to at home. Then, he clicked into the video and played it.
The scene of Edolie slapping Zion was immediately displayed on the screen before Nathaniel.
The entire board of directors heard a child's crying and they saw Nathaniel's rapidly darkening expression.
How dare she beat his son?
Where did Edolie get the bravery to do something like that?
Furthermore, everyone heard Eddie's arrogant words loud and clear.
Nathaniel didn't even stop to think about why Zion was at Eddie's room in Central Hospital instead of the Ye's Mansion. Instead, he only saw his son being helplessly bullied and crying sadly.
"The meeting is adjourned!"
Nathaniel immediately cut the video call and he threw on some clothes angrily before he rushed towards the Central Hospital.
Then, Madam Ye and Nathaniel arrived at the Central Hospital at roughly the same time.
When Madam Ye saw Nathaniel, she was rather surprised.
"What are you doing here?"
"Mom, you're here too?"
There wasn't even a hint of a smile on Nathaniel's face at all.
Even he was reluctant to beat his own son, but now an outsider had beat his son so savagely. This was absolutely ridiculous!
Then, Madam Ye immediately understood that Nathaniel must have also received the video, but she did not say anything to defend Edolie's actions.
There had to be an explanation as to why the beloved grandson of the Ye Family had been beaten so savagely.
"Did Mango call you?"
Madam Ye suddenly asked.
The look in Nathaniel's eyes was terrifying as he muttered, "She might not know that her own son was beaten. You know how protective she is of her own children, she would have killed Edolie by now if she knew about it."
After that, Nathaniel immediately entered the hospital.
Madam Ye was somewhat puzzled at Nathaniel's words. If Mango didn't send the video, then who did?
