Chapter 1392 Waiting For The Prey
Looking at Juan, Nicole asked, âAre you planning to do something?â
âMommy, youâll do something anyway if I donât do it. Am I right? In that case, why donât you let me help you? I can settle it by making a phone call.â
After giving it some thought, Nicole replied, âOkay, Iâll leave it to you, then. However, can you retrieve the money for them? I can tell that they are now in dire straits without the money.â
âMommy, I know what to do. Besides, Iâm ready to pay for the money out of my own pocket if I canât get the money back.â
âWell, Iâm relieved to hear it.â
An hour later, several men in a black suit arrived at that coupleâs house and knocked on the door. The husband was bewildered the moment he opened the door.
âWho are you?â
âThis is the medical fee that the hospital conned you into paying. Please keep it.â
âWhat? Did you get the money back for me? Thank you so much!â
âYouâre welcome. Mr. Juan instructed us to deliver the money to you.â
Even though the husband had no idea who Juan was, he still thanked Juan non-stop. The bodyguards smiled in relief and comforted him before they left.
Knowing that the matter was settled, Nicole felt relieved and overjoyed. She gazed at Juan and asked, âBy the way, why did you come over? Is anything the matter?â
âUm⦠No.â
âDonât beat around the bush. You can return to your office if there isnât anything you want here. You canât help me out with my tasks, anyway.â
Juanâs face fell. Huh? Is Mommy chasing me out?
âMommy, I canât return to the office yet. Thereâs something that I have to do here.â
âWhat is it about?â
Juanâs mind whirred before he answered, âIâm waiting for someone!â
âWho is it? Is your friend coming to the hospital for treatment?â
âNo, Mommy. Itâs not my friend. Itâsâ¦â
âWho is it? Stop hemming and hawing. Just spit it out!â
âItâs Sally.â
Nicole gazed at Juan bewilderedly and asked, âAre you saying youâre meeting Sally here? Why donât you ask her out to a coffee shop or a shopping mall instead?â
Juan was rendered speechless. Mommy, Iâm not having a date with her. I came here on purpose so that I could monitor the mysterious woman, for Iâm worried that she will hurt you!
Since Juan thought he had to keep it from Nicole for the time being, he made up a random excuse and said smilingly, âMommy, Sally said she wants to come here and help you. Thatâs why Iâm here waiting for her.â
âShe offered to help me, and you came all the way to wait for her. Well, it seems that the relationship between you and Sally is progressing smoothly.â Nicole scanned Juan as she said.
Juan was speechless. My god. Since when am I in a relationship with Sally? Iâm merely a hunter who has to keep an eye on the cunning fox!
âMommy, donât worry about my relationship with Sally. Since there are many things that you have to handle in the hospital, you should get going. When sheâs here, Iâll ask the staff to assign some tasks for her.â
After pondering over it for a while, Nicole replied, âYouâre right! There are many patients today. Well, I have to get going.â
Juanâs eyes beamed when he looked at Nicole, who had left for the other ward. He couldnât help but feel that his mother was the most beautiful woman when she treated the patients.
âJuan, why are you here? Why arenât you in the office?â
A familiar voice came from Juanâs back. He didnât have to turn around to find out who was talking to him.
âIâm waiting for the prey!â Juan turned around and scrutinized Sally.
Meanwhile, Sally was taken aback. âYou arenât here to wait for me on purpose, are you?â
âYes, I am!â
âDo you know that Iâll be here?â
âWell, Iâm good at precognition.â
The truth was that Juan took a shortcut to rush to the hospital once he got the news from Draven that Sally would come here.
Not long after Sally got close to Juan, she was seemingly eager to meet his family members at Imperial Garden. Hence, Juan believed that Sallyâs ulterior motive was related to his family.
