Chapter 834 Failed Mission
Jennifer had a disdainful look when she was informed by June that Crystal did not have a miscarriage from the accident. “You can’t even do such a small thing. How can you deal with Oscar?” she derided.
June was starting to lose his temper when he heard what Jennifer said. “This is Derrick’s matter. Why are you such a busybody? I suggest you behave and don’t mess with Tony for now. The people I’ve sent to monitor them have told me that Oscar has beefed up their security to keep an eye on Tony, and they’re all good at fighting. You’ll be no match for them,” June warned.
A sense of contempt rose in Jennifer’s heart. “June, you’re just trying to shift the blame. You’re such a loser. Whatever. You either sneak into the hospital to get rid of the baby in that woman’s belly or shut your mouth.” With that, Jennifer hung up on him.
“Jennifer, listen to me—Damn it, how dare you hang up on me?” June smashed his phone on the ground. He was so infuriated that he kicked the man in front of him and cursed, “A bunch of trash! You all couldn’t even deal with a woman! I spent so much money to hire all of you for nothing! I’m giving you all another chance. Go to the hospital and get rid of the baby in her belly. You can all get lost if you fail the mission again!”
“Yes, Boss.” With a stern expression, the man turned and left. That night, a few dark figures sneaked into the hospital and went into the ward when no one was around. Just as they crept toward the bed quietly and wanted to make a move, a sharp scream filled the air, “Ah! Help! There are thieves in the room!”
The dark figures were stunned. They glanced at the silhouette running out of the ward, exchanged looks, and escaped from the window.
The silhouette soon returned, having brought many people with her. After the lights were switched on, the silhouette’s identity was finally revealed.
It was none other than Kate.
The maid, doctors, and nurses following behind Kate scanned the room and didn’t see anyone but Crystal, who was lying on the bed. “Mrs. Hisson, where are the thieves?” one of the maids asked.
Kate hurriedly said, “They must’ve escaped! Call the police now and get someone to surround the hospital! How dare they mess with the grandchild of the Hissons!”
The maid hesitated and asked, “But Mrs. Hisson, other than the doctors and nurses, there are only patients in the hospital. It’s such a big building, so it would be impossible to have it surrounded.”
Kate shot the maid a hard glare and demanded, “Call the police now!”
“Yes, Mrs. Hisson. I will call the police now.”
The maid hurriedly took out her phone and called the police. Meanwhile, the doctor advised Kate, “Mrs. Hisson, the patient needs to get a good rest now. We shouldn’t disturb her. Since the thieves have escaped, I don’t think they will be back anytime soon. The caretaker can stay and look after her, but the others should leave the room.”
Kate nodded in agreement and asked the other people to leave.
The police officers quickly arrived at the hospital and took their statements. Pressured by the Hissons, they also checked the surveillance footage. However, no suspicious individual could be found in the footage.
“Mrs. Hisson, there’s no sign of the suspect. Could it be you saw it wrongly?” one of the police officers asked.
To that, Kate responded with a sneer, “What do you mean by that? Are you trying to say that I’m lying?”
“Mrs. Hisson, please calm down. We’ll investigate the matter. However, as the patient did not suffer from any injuries, it is better not to waste police resources.”
Kate’s expression darkened when she heard what the police officer said. When she was about to argue further, Derrick rushed over and stopped her.
He politely sent the police officers away, then turned to the doctors and nurses and said, “You guys can leave now. I’m sorry on behalf of my mom for causing you so much trouble.”
The doctors and nurses then took their leave.
Kate grabbed Derrick’s hand and said, “Derrick, how could you let them go? The police officers are too much! I called them to catch the thieves, but they suspected I was lying. I want to call the police chief and tell him about this! How could they be so rude?”
