Chapter 288
A Billion-Rich Woman Was Chased by Her EX-Husband
In the early hours of the morning, after Vincent coaxed Annie to sleep, he rushed to the hospital to meet up with Thorp family and Sawle familyâs people.
Rory was too old to hold on, so Jake helped Old Master find a comfortable VIP room for ward to rest.
âBig brother, I just finished interrogating that son of a bitch.â
Oscar walked to the corridor and answered Marbleâs phone. âI am an old criminal police officer. I can see that the man is hiding something from me. But his mouth is harder than a dead duck, and he just refuses to say it!â
âWhat did that guy say?â Oscar asked in a low voice.
He said that he attacked Sia because he used to be Siaâs fanatic fan. Later, after Sia withdrew from the circle after that incident, he had always been resentful of Siả. He felt that the head of the Jade Maiden back then had deceived his feelings.
âAh, what nonsense are you talking about!â Sia was a beautiful female star back then. He was a toad dreaming of eating swan meat. If he didnât eat it, how could he blame the swan for flying high? âMarble angrily vented the emotions he had been holding back for the whole night to his big brother.
âGet to the point,â Oscar said with a frown.
âAh, Iâm sorry, Big Brother. I was too angry. I was a little out of line when I spoke.â
Marble sorted out his thoughts and said in a low voice, âHe said that he came to attack Sia because he saw Sia once again appear in public and stirred up the sad memories of that year.â
âBut this kind of speech is still good. I canât believe it at all. He must have been ordered by someone!â
âYou investigated the whole night, and it was basically the same as what I thought.â Oscarâs tone was indifferent.
âBig brother, thereâs nothing I can do. At present, the evidence I have can only investigate this. Moreover, this man is very cunning. His mobile phone is very clean, and there are no traces of being instigated. He probably has another mobile phone, and the plan is very thorough.â
Oscar: âYou need to continue to investigate this manâs background. If he was bribed, it means that he did not do this kind of thing only once. There should be other victims.â
âWhat if he only did it this time?â Marble asked.
Oscar narrowed her eyes and said coldly, âThen I do not believe his confession. Everything is so coincidental that it is obvious that someone is doing it.â
I have to investigate the person who tried to hurt Sia.
âI understand, big brother. I wonât let our family suffer for nothing.â
Marble paused and hesitantly asked, âHow is Joseph?â
âHe hasnât passed the critical period.â Oscarâs throat felt a little tight.
Oh.â Marble did not know what to say.
âBut I believe that he will be safe because Chloe is doing a craniotomy for him. The surgery has been going on for five hours.â
âPfft -!â
âOpen â open â open the head! Chloe thought that a human head was a watermelon, so she hacked it!
âCough, cough. Big brother, Chloeâs way of taking revenge on her ex-husband... is quite unique!â
âWe have to believe in her medical skills. It shouldnât be much more difficult for her to open the human brain than to open a watermelon, right?â When Oscar thought of his talented little sister, the corners of his lips could not help but rise, and his eyes were full of love.
âGod... Lewisâ
Marble was stunned and shouted, âThat smart hand doctor, the God Lewis who had been on newspapers and magazines multiple times and had robbed people from King Yama more than once... Is it Chloeâ
âYes, it is my sister.â Oscar smiled proudly and nodded.
With a thud, it was the sound of Marbleâs chin falling to the ground.
âShit!â
The next day, at nine in the morning.
Sawle Groupâs people gathered outside the operating room again. Jake supported Rory, and the father and son stared at the door of the operating room.<
Aubree had already used the excuse that she was not feeling well to go home with Skyler. Either way, Rory hated her, and she did not care whether Joseph was alive or dead. Therefore, she was too lazy to pretend. She went home to sleep.
âIt has been such a long time. Why hasnât Chloe come out yet?â
Stefan sat in the corridor and looked straight in the direction of the operating room, feeling uneasy.
âHow could a craniotomy be a minor surgery? Itâs not like she hasnât done it all day and night.â
âDonât worry. Chloe is stronger and more powerful than you think. She will definitely succeed in this surgery.â Oscar stroked his fatherâs back and comforted him gently.
âHey, Iâm not concerned about this. Iâm worried about my daughter standing for the whole day. Is her small body able to take it?
Is she tired? Do you have time to eat and drink?â
The more Stefan asked, the more worried he became. If his son hadnât pulled him, he would have rushed in to see his daughter.
âDad, I thought you were concerned about... the one lying inside.â Oscar smiled bitterly.
Stefan looked at Roryâs anxious back and frowned slightly, âThat kid did save my precious baby this time, so I added some points.â
From the negative to zero.
Oscar pursed her lips. She had promised Chloe that she would keep the secret for her, so she did not say anything. This is not the first time Joseph saved your precious baby. Last time at Mount Quny, he almost couldnât came back. âDad, Iwant to ask you a question, if...â
âWu... Second brother! Second brother!â
Before Oscar could speak, he was interrupted by a crying voice.
The originally quiet and depressing atmosphere in the corridor changed. Sawle Group and his son also turned around. They saw that Zoey was wearing high heels and crying like a pear blossom in front of everyone.
âZoey, why are you here?â
Vincent rushed for ward to stop her and ordered in a deep voice. âThis is not a place for you to make trouble. Go home immediately!â
Zoey raised her face to meet his gaze, her eyes cold and cold.
Vincent was stunned.
He only felt that this gaze was so strange that it was terrifying. It was like cutting off their friendship of twenty years. He could not see any trust and reliance in her eyes.
The next second, Zoey gritted her teeth, pushed Vincent away fiercely, and ran directly to Sawle Group and his son. âGrandpa Sawle! Uncle Sawle! How is Second Brother? Has he woken up?â
Zoey cried until her round face was pale and haggard, her eyes were red and swollen, coupled with the sobbing that was about to break, she looked really pitiful.
âThis is...?â Looking at the crying woman in front of him, Rory was, confused..
âDad, this is Vincentâs sister, Anderson familyâs second daughter, Zoey.â
Seeing that Zoey was crying for her son like this, Jake was moved in her heart and said in an amiable tone, âWhen she was a child, Vincent brought her to our house many times. Joseph and her relationship has always been very good, treating her like a real sister.â
âLater, Zoey went abroad to study, so he didnât move around anymore. This child just came back this year.â
âOh... Itâs Brother Andersonâs sister.â Rory understood and did not say anything.
âSince I was young... Second Brother has been very good to me. He has always been very concerned and took care of me. In my heart, Second Brother is an important person...â
Zoey wiped her tears and her shoulders kept shaking. She choked and said, âI heard that something happened to him last night.
I was so heartbroken that I couldnât sleep all night... I wanted to rush over last night, but Big Brother refused to let me come over.
I was also afraid to cause trouble for you...â
Iâm the one who didnât understand. I should have come over earlier. Maybe I can help you with something...
âSigh, good child, youâre so considerate.â
Jake sighed and looked at Zoey with a touched and somewhat approving gaze. âUncle is here to thank you for your concern for Joseph. It really wasnât in vain that you two had a good time when you were young.â
âItâs not just when we were young. Second Brother and I are very close now.â
âAs long as second brother needs me, I will always be here.â Zoey blushed shyly.
He knew what this meant.
Vincentâs handsome face did not look good.
Putting everything aside, Zoey showing her love for Joseph in front of Sawle family was indeed not as good as her, Anderson family and Miss Brown. She was too unrestrained!
âSon, is this Mr. Andersonâs sister also interested in Joseph?â Stefan was also an old gossip, and while watching the show, he used his elbow to poke Oscar beside him.
âIt seems that it is.â Oscar said bluntly.
âWhat about this Miss Anderson? Doesnât he have any interest in him?â Stefan narrowed his eyes in suspicion.
âAs far as I know, no.â
It was not that Oscar wanted to say good words for Joseph, but he had repeatedly interacted with her. He had also seen through Josephâs character.
That man was a single-celled creature. Previously, he liked Grace. In his eyes, there was only Grace. Even a fairy like his sister was unmoved by him.
Now that he had turned back, he was enlightened. In his eyes, there was only Chloe in his heart. Otherwise, he would not have risked his life for her again and again.
âTsk, really donât know what these little girls are thinking. Whatâs so good about that Sawle family kid? Why does he have to pounce on him like a swarm of bees and butterflies?â
Stefan scoffed and muttered discontentedly, âMy sons are all single. Which one of them is not as handsome as him, Joseph?â
Anderson familyâs family background is also good. Since his family has a daughter, it is better to be at our sonâs everywhere.
Oscar, why donât you go and take her down!
âI donât like women.â Oscarâs heart tightened and his eyes flashed.
âWhat? What did you say?â Stefan raised his thick eyebrows.
âWhat I mean is, Miss Anderson is not the type I like.â
âCanât you see that Miss Anderson already has someone in her heart? Donât mess up the mandarin duck book and make things difficult for her.â.
âI really donât know what I have done wrong. None of my sons are like me. All of them only know how to start a business and donât know how to find women!â Stefan sighed and shook his head.
âThank you, Miss Anderson, for remembering my grandson because of our childhood friendship. I appreciate your kindness.
Please back.â Rory was indifferent to Zoey and did not smile.
go After all, Joseph had not passed the critical period, and he did not have the heart to deal with outsiders.
âI heard that... Second Brother was injured to protect Miss Thorp.â
It was not easy for Zoey to have a chance to gain favorability in front of Sawle familyâs elders. She definitely could not leave just like that. âI canât do anything for Second Brother either. Let me stay here and pray for Second Brother... If Second Brother doesnât wake up, I wonât leave.â
âNo need, Miss Anderson.â
âI appreciate your kindness, but I am a materialist.â Rory forced a smile and still gave the elder a gentle smile. Instead of believing that prayers were useful, it was better to believe in people to win the heavens and believe in science.
Zoeyâs heart skipped a beat. She hurriedly explained with a red face, âGrandpa Sawle, I donât have any other intentions. I donât want to cause trouble for everyone... I just want to do what I can!â
Although my ability is limited, at the very least, I have never hurt my second brother! It is even less harmful to him lying in a cold operation and suffering!
âZoey, stop talking!â Vincent frowned and walked over to stop her.
At this time, Rory asked coldly with a cold face, âMiss Anderson, are you accusing Miss Thorp? Do you think Miss Thorp caused my grandson to be like this?â
âI... I...â
Of course!
Of course, it was all because of that damned slut Chloe!
1 But how could Zoey say that? It was clear that this old fellow was biased to wards Chloe!
At this moment, a loud sound rang out.
Everyone turned around, and the door of the operating room opened!
Stefan and Oscar suddenly sat up from their chairs. The black suits standing in the corridor also rushed to the door like a black tide.
1 Two medical staff walked out first, and then there was a series of slow footsteps, heavy and tired.
A graceful figure slowly walked out. Even if she wore a large surgical gown and a mask, it could not block her beautiful face. She took a deep breath and slowly took off her mask.
When Chloe did not put on any makeup, but her beautiful face appeared in front of everyone, Zoey was completely dumbfounded! Her mouth was wide open, and she almost could not believe her eyes!
How could it be...
Could it be that the one who performed the surgery for Second Brother... was this slut âChloe... Chloe!â
Stefan and Rory quickly went up to her, each holding Chloeâs trembling hand.
Looking at her red eyes and deep red marks on her white and tender face, the two elders couldnât help but feel distressed.
âChloe... Joseph, he... he...â Tears welled up in Roryâs eyes. He wanted to ask but didnât dare to. It was really heartbreaking.
Chloe took a deep breath and held her grandfatherâs hand. Her beautiful eyes slowly curved. âGrandfather, you must have heard your prayers when Mr. Sawle was in a coma.â
âI have helped him get rid of the blood clotin his brain. The operation was very successful.â
Everyone instantly let out excited cries!
Vincent closed his eyes and covered his chest, his heart that had been lifted for the entire night finally settled down. âThank God!
Thank God! Thank God!â Jake was so excited that he put his hands together and kept muttering.
âWhat do at Jake.
you mean thank the God? The operation was done by Raya. You have to thank Raya!â Rory shot a resentful glance Although Jake was still dissatisfied with Chloeâs character, he did not want to appear too messy because of his face, so he could only walk over and whisper, âMiss Thorp, thank you for your help this time. Thank you for saving my sonâs life.â âDirector Sawle, please donât say that.â
âMr. Sawle is doing this to save me... Saving him is my duty and obligation.â.
âRaya! Itâs all thanks to you... Itâs all thanks to you!â Rory hugged Chloe wholeheartedly, tears almost flowing down. After Chloe comforted her grandfather, her cold eyes suddenly fell on the stupefied Zoey.
