Chapter 243 It was Bettyâs message. She said that Johnny had left the police station and gone to her place.
âHis liquor distillery was sealed for some unknown reason. The girl from the orphanage suddenly changed her statement and claimed she didnât do those things voluntarily. Johnny seemed crazy and ready to attack anyone at any time, so I drove him away.â
âMikayla, although I warned him not to act recklessly, he has nothing to lose now, so you must be careful of him. Itâs best to ask Mr. Miller to accompany you if you go out Betty assumed Mikayla and Jeromeâs relationship had improved because Jerome had driven away those two men and sent Johnny to the police.
Mikayla didnât correct Betty. She only reassured Betty that she was out of town and wouldnât meet Johnny âThen Iâm relieved. The police are now investigating and collecting evidence. If that orphan girl tells the truth, Johnny will return to detention in a few days. Heâd get sentenced to at least two yearsâ
The next day, Mikayla accompanied Eduard to the hospital to visit old friend, Todd Young.
Sheâd met Todd before. He had visited the Davidson residence several times. She was familiar with him.
It had only been a few years since she last saw him. Todd, who had previously been healthy, was now so sick that he could only lie in bed in pain. His hair had turned gray, and he had become skinny.
Mikayla felt heartbroken she imagined Eduard lying on the hospital bed in her previous life. She couldnât help but shed tears.
âI know youâre happy to see Todd, but you donât have to cry,â Eduard joked, unaware of the truth.
When she realized Todd was looking at her, she wiped away her tears embarrassedly. âMr. Young Senior, how do you feel now?â
He was in good spirits and joked, âI feel much better after seeing you two.â
She said, âI hope you get well soon. Weâll visit you often. Weâll come over these days.â
âThatâs great!â Todd nodded happily and then sighed. âTime flies fast. The last time we met, Kay was still college. Now, sheâs married.â
âYes.â Eduard nodded in agreement and asked, âHow about your grandson? Has he found a girlfriend?â
Todd seemed to have a headache when Eduard mentioned his grandson. âCarl has been going abroad to run a new company with his friends since last year. Heâs focused on work has no time to find a girlfriend.
âBut after knowing that I was sick, he came back to stay with me for more than a month. He went there two days earlier to hand over his work. Heâll stay here with me from now on.â
âCarl is a good kid,â Eduard praised.
Toddâs had passed away in an accident. He only had grandson, whom Mikayla had met before. But it had been so long that she couldnât recall how Carl looked.
As Eduard and Todd hadnât met for a long time, they chatted enthusiastically. Seeing that, she made an excuse to leave the ward, leaving them some privacy.
After strolling for while, she received a call from Taylor.
âThe target has taken the bait. Kylie is negotiating the project with my people. I believe weâll sign the contract with her soon.â
Mikayla smiled. âThatâs great. There wonât be any flaws, right?â
âProbably not.â
âWhy donât you sound confident?â Mikayla wondered.
Taylor replied nonchalantly, âBecause it depends on your response.â
âWhat response?â
She suddenly thought of something and warned him, âI wonât help you drive away women anymoreâ
âDo you think thatâs what Iâm talking about?â
âThen what are you talking about?â
âGet me some top information from Jeromeâs computer,â Taylor said seriously.
âMr. Blue, stealing is against the law. Iâm a model citizen.â
âItâs âstealing if others do so. As his wife, youâre just âgetting the information from him.â Mikayla was speechless when she heard that.
