Chapter 282
Love Is Fair
Chapter 282 Taking Daughter-in-Law as Daughter For their childish bickers, Sofia was speechless.
Luckily, Owen finally woke.
The nurse came and checked Owen. She said that he was fine and he should have a good rest and a good mood. Moreover, he needed to eat something nutritious and kept clean of his head.
Both of them looked at his head.
âI have a question, nurse.â
Looking at the handsome speaker, the nurse grew a pink face, âgo on.â
Matthew asked seriously, âdoes a bold need to wash his hair?â
âErâ¦â
Sofia laughed hysterically because she wanted to ask the same thing.
His family members came to see Owen when they got the message. They asked many questions. Polly cried a lot, âhow do you feel? Do you have a headache?â
Owen replied, âIâm fine.â
He glanced and failed to find Hailey, âwhereâs Hailey?â
Benson said, âshe is kidnapped by presidents of this hospital.â
The sensitive word like âkidnapâ raised Owenâs eyebrows.
âNonsense.â
Gene patted his brother, âshe is invited by them to deliver speeches. For the time being, she has no time to see you. Sheâll come later.â
Owen was a little confused, âspeech?â
âYes. You do not tell us that Hailey is Grace who saved you. She is our saver!â
Abby said in thankfulness, âshe saved you again. You injured so badly this time. Without her, we donât know what to doâ¦
He was shocked, âshe is my doctor?â
âYes.â
Polly continued, âyou donât know your condition. Other doctors were not available at that time. Iâm in a hurry to find doctors. I didnât expect that Hailey was Grace.â
This truth entirely hit them.
Back then, Owen was injured badly in a car accident, covered with blood. His bones were nearly broken all over his body. His father used his relations to invite all surgical doctors to cure his son. No one dared to do the surgery for Owen.
In this case, Dr. Grace found them unexpectedly.
She came in a rush, and so did she go. She left before Owenâs family members spared the time to thank her. This had been a regret for them all these years.
When they found out the truth, Steven and Abbey hold Haileyâs hands, with their face covered with tears, âwe owe you two lives!â
It was Hailey who saved Owen twice.
âFrom now on, she is the saver of our family.â
Steven stood near Owen, and said to him in dignity, âI donât care. She saves your life twice! In that accident, she stitched your broken bones one by one, this time, your head is broken! Other doctors wonât have the patience and capabilities to save you!â
âDefinitely Abby said, âHailey is not our child. You treated her so badly and divorced her for Eliza. We would drive you away! How fortunate are you to have her save you over and over again?â
As the elders criticized Owen, the youngsters nodded and agreed, âyes, yesâ¦â
âSon, your grandparents said a lot. We all agree. It doesnât matter if you are one of our family, but Hailey has to be. If you can be her boyfriend again, Iâll be happy. Otherwise, Iâll adopt her as my daughter.â
Polly gave her final word, âwhatâs your opinion?â
Gene was overjoyed, âgreat! Iâd like to have a sisterâ¦â
Owen replied in resolution, no way!â
If Hailey became his sister, itâs such a mess!
Others looked at Owen with expectation and waited for him to speak.
Owen took a breath, âI, I will do my best.â
âIs that enough?â
Steven stared at him, âyou must try everything possible to do that!â
He lifted his fists, âGo for it!â
So did the rest of his family members, âGo for it!â
Owen felt their love and chucked.
He nodded a lot.
Hailey took a deep breath after she spared time to go out of the room.
Presidents followed her and invited her, âDr. Grace, your speech is fascinating! Tonight, how about we enjoy our meal together? Il pay the bill. I have so many questions to ask you.â
âSorry, Iâm busy.â
Hailey refused their request.
Itâs rare to meet Grace. This was a good opportunity for the hospital to promote its reputation. She was the living advertisement. These old people could never let her go. Apart from that, they really wanted to consult her.
Itâs what Hailey was afraid of.
She stayed a low-key and hardly appeared in public because she would be undulated with all kinds of things. Hospitals invited her to give speeches while others begged her to attend seminars and press conferences of medical companies.
Sometimes, she had to go for the sake of relations, but she hated that.
The phone ring saved her. She winked at Chris. Chris blocked the doctorsâ way and said, âshe has no timeâ¦â
Hailey took another breath and answered the phone.
She spoke in a loud voice, âbrotherâ
Here came the low and clear voice of Karl, âyou must be tired.â
âYes.â
She was upset because of his words and sat on a bench.
âBrother.â
She called his name again and asked timidly, âare you not mad at me?â
Ryan yielded at her for she ran out of the Traditional Medicine Center. He said Karl locked her up to protect her from danger instead of punishing her. However, she did not listen and ran away with Brook.
Now, she paid the price due to her reluctance and disobedience.
She was guilty and had no guts to call Karl.
Her brother paused a while.
Then he said gently, âcome to Engese. Letâs talk about this face to face.â
