Chapter 20 Martin was speechless
Gotten enraged, Ian finally decided to come to the bad man because he had to figure out what was going on and why the bad man bullied his mommy.
And why the bad man abandoned him and Lily.
However, Haley didn’t know what Ian was thinking about. She was hurrying to clean up the house as she had to go back to the apartment later.
Just as she was cleaning, the newly purchased phone placed on the table rang suddenly.
“Hello?”
“This is Martin, Mrs. Black.”
As she had been thinking about Jason just now, his assistant happened to make a phone call.
When Haley heard his voice, she quickly explained, “I’m sorry, Martin. I haven’t seen my aunt and uncle for a long time, so they didn’t want me to leave and insisted on me for dinner, I…”
“Don’t be nervous, Mrs. Black. I didn’t urge you to come back. Instead, I called you to discuss something with you.”
“What? What is it?” Haley was a little surprised.
With her status, she didn’t think Martin discuss matters with her. Jason just kept forcing her without negotiation after catching her.
“Here is the thing. Don’t you want to see Roy? Now there is a chance for you to meet him, would you like to accept?”
“What? Are you serious?!”
Haley was so shocked that she couldn’t believe what she had heard.
But Martin nodded, “Yes, as long as you can cure Mr. Black’s disease, I can guarantee that you can meet Roy every day.”
“Mr. Black’s disease?”
Haley asked.
“Yes.
I’m telling you the truth. The reason why Mr. Black didn’t take you back to The Blacks today is because the blood pressure in his brain increased after arguing with you on the ship, causing him to pass out again. Now he’s still in the hospital. ”
“So, if you’re really able to make him sleep well, he’ll let you meet Roy without me telling him. What do you think, Mrs. Black?”
Martin finally made it clear to Haley, and, in order to get Haley to agree, he told her that Jason had passed out on the ship in the morning without reservation.
As soon as he finished speaking, Haley was shocked for a moment.
‘Jason is hospitalized?
No wonder that I didn’t see Roy or him when I came down. It turned out that he had an accident.’
Haley couldn’t help but gloat a little, “Of course I can do that. Judging from his situation, it’s lucky for him that he didn’t die on the spot.”
Martin was speechless.
After a long while, he smiled helplessly, “Yeah, so I come to you.
Don’t worry, as long as you can cure his illness, you can make any request as you like.
Although Mr. Black forbids you from meeting Roy, you’re his mommy, after all.
When you go to Mr. Black’s house, you can meet Roy and develop your relationship. By then, Mr. Black won’t be able to stop you even if he wants to.”
His last sentence attracted Haley so much that she almost wanted to agree as soon as she heard it.
‘That’s right. What I and Roy lack now is a chance to get along with each other.
How can I make up for him if I can’t get one? How to ask him to forgive me then?’
Haley finally agreed, but she still made a request.
“I can’t be locked up by you again and I have to live at my aunt’s house, otherwise, they’ll worry about me and come to make a fuss at the Blacks, which will embarrass you.”
“Okay, no problem.
As long as you can let Mr. Black sleep peacefully at night, we won’t restrict your freedom. Besides, you can also arrange your own time.
But remember that the prerequisite is that you can cure Mr. Black’s disease!”
Martin ordered.
“Don’t worry. I know that!”
Haley readily agreed.
All she wants was freedom.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
In that case, she could take good care of Ian and Lily and send them to kindergarten during the day and pick them up at night, just like what they had done abroad.
As for treating Jason’s disease, she really never doubted her ability.
Therefore, they agreed to start from this evening. Martin would go to the apartment to pick Haley up later. He would try it first and their agreement would officially take effect only when he made sure it really worked.
‘He will come soon?’
‘The I have to hurry up to return.’
After hanging up the phone, Haley immediately looked at Ian and Lily, “Ian, Lily, I have to go out to deal with something urgent. I’ll call Ursula to come here later, okay?”
Ursula was The Joneses’ former servant. After The Joneses went bankrupt, she went to Wendy’s house and treated Haley well.
Lily was pure-hearted and didn’t say anything, but Ian raised his head from the laptop once he heard that, “Where are you going, mommy? Will you come back tonight?”
“Of course. I’ll just go out for a while and be back in about an hour or two. Don’t worry, honey.”
Haley called Ursula while comforting Ian.
As she expected, Ursula agreed immediately when she heard that she was going to help take care of the two children. What was more, knowing that the two children hadn’t eaten, she especially went to the supermarket, ready to cook for them.
Therefore, Haley finally went out in relief.
Lily asked, “Ian, what are you doing? Why are you staring at mommy?”
When she watched Ian running to the balcony to see Haley’s back, she also ran over and squatted next to Ian, looking down curiously with her big eyes.
Ian squatted there and looked at the back of Haley downstairs with his eyebrow furrowed, “Our idiot mommy must be going to the bad man again.”
“What?”
Lily was terrified when she heard it, “Bad man? Then… Will mummy be in danger? Should we go to save her?”
She was about to cry as she was frightened by Ian.
Fortunately, Ian shook his head, “No need for now. I’ll go find that bad man tomorrow!”
Lily’s eyes widened suddenly, “Going to find the bad man? Then… Then I’ll go with you. I don’t like the bad man who bullies mommy, either.”
“No. Help me when the teachers find I’m not in kindergarten. When I find the bad man tomorrow, I’ll come back to tell you what we should do next.”
“OK!”
They quickly reached an agreement.

When Haley got back to the apartment, she didn’t wait long before Martin arrived in his car.
At that moment, Haley had prepared the acupuncture bag and came downstairs.
“Where are we going? The hospital?”
“No, we’ll go to Repulse Bay Mansion because Mr. Black has gone home.”
After Haley got into the car, she thought they were going to the hospital, but Martin told her that they would go to the Repulse Bay Mansion instead of the hospital, which was out of her expectation.
‘It’s so sudden.’
Haley stiffened her body and felt her heat beating fast, and she even breathed unsteadily.
