Chapter 17: How Dare She Insult Mommy And Even Hit Her Brother?
The door of the ward was then shut. However, one could still vaguely hear the conversation inside:
Lisa said, “Dad, Nora is—”
“Don’t speak her name! How kindly did your mother treat her? She treated her like she was her own, but how is she any different from Henry now? She’s holding on so stubbornly to the company and just standing by as your mother dies!”
Irene said, “Don’t say that about Nora. She’s not doing anything because she knows it’s useless even if she lets go of the company. Don’t vent your anger on someone else…”
“I know, but I feel so awful when I see her so indifferent!” Will suddenly couldn’t hold it in anymore, and he started to sob bitterly.
Nora, who was standing outside, could feel their helplessness and anger even through the glass windows.
“Don’t you feel bad?”
Henry stood behind her. “For the sake of a company, are you really going to disregard your aunt’s life?”
Their disputes here were too loud, and it had attracted a circle of onlookers.
Nora looked down and sent a text message to Lisa on her cell phone, telling her to get ready and that someone would be coming to operate on her aunt in a few days.
After sending the text message, she ignored Henry and the others’ angry castigation and turned to leave calmly.
Nearby.
Justin stood there with Lawrence. A relative had happened to be hospitalized today, so he had specially come to visit. However, he didn’t expect to encounter such a situation.
Lawrence said, “The Smiths are certainly shameless, but isn’t she a little too callous? No wonder she looks so unfeeling.”
Justin frowned and said, “Check if there’s anything that can be done about her aunt’s illness.”
This wasn’t anything hard to find out. By the time they were in the car and on the way back to the hotel, he had already found out everything.
“Her condition is indeed hard to operate on. There are only two experts in the States who can do it, but the success rate is only 50%. Coincidentally, both experts are currently employed in our hospitals.”
“…”
Seeing that the icy Justin wasn’t speaking, Lawrence couldn’t help but say, “If Miss Smith knows what she’s doing, then she’ll use this as an opportunity to approach you.”
When the car arrived at Hotel Finest, as luck would have it, Justin spotted Nora getting off the cab. Additionally, when she noticed their car, she even stayed where she was and did not enter the hotel.
Was she waiting for them?
Nora had indeed spotted them.
She didn’t understand what was going on. She obviously had nothing to do with that four or five-year-old child, but she simply couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable the moment she thought of him being abused by his tutors.
They misunderstood and thought that I was pursuing him this morning. If I go over now, I’ll really be seen as a stalker.
Nora lowered her cat-like eyes slightly. From the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Justin walking past her, surrounded by bodyguards.
Nora suddenly spoke. She said, “I have something to say, Mr. Hunt.”
As expected.
Justin stopped and looked at her with a deep gaze. His exquisite features exuded an aggressive air of heroism, and the mole at the corner of his eye gave off a feeling of slight interest. “What can I do for you, Miss Smith?”
He had already given her a chance, so she would probably start begging him pitifully, right?
In a slightly deep voice, Nora asked, “Are your son’s tutors professional, Mr. Hunt?”
She had only heard what the tutors said in the elevator, and hadn’t seen anything with her own eyes, so she had no way of judging whether or not their words were true. Thus, she merely gave him a subtle reminder.
Justin frowned, however.
