Zoey laughed a little, with an indescribable pallor, as she looked back at Feng, “So the only reason why he would go out of his way to be willing to help the Baker family is just because he wants to show off his strength and means by taking the Baker family down with his own hands?”
Her words, not very sharp, plain, but unusually sharp. Ah Feng lowered his head, “The president does want to take down the Baker family with his own hands, this is Mr. Zhan’s order.”
Zoey nodded her head as she continued to ask all the questions in her mind with the calmest of gestures, “So, when we broke up later on, you purposely called me and said those words to persuade me to come back, but it was all just a bunch of bullshit to get me to come up with the shares?”
What he left his work in the UK for himself to temporarily come back, what he carried the pressure of the entire headquarters to help Baker family … These turned out to be nothing more than a trap waiting for her to jump down.
Afon pursed his lips, “The phone … is indeed authorized by the president. However, the contents are all decided by me. However, those words are not considered nonsense. The president really cares about you.”
“If it were before, if you were to say these words to me, I would really be happy and would believe them without hesitation. But now, I can really only listen to it as a joke.” She took a deep breath, as if smoothing out the pain in her chest. Don’t look away from Fung’s face before saying softly, “The word ‘care’ seems a bit ridiculous when even the marriage proposal has turned out to be a fake.”
Afon didn’t know where to explain, and in the end, in the end, just said, “I’m really sorry. If I could have thought that the consequences would be this serious, I think that the president would have given up halfway through. By now, the president and I are both equally sorry.”
“It’s just a pity that in this world, there are no regret pills to buy.” She smiled in a cloudy manner, like it was none of her business, and asked lightly, “All those things that went wrong with MY company, they’ve all been resolved now, right? Even without my father’s 5E, I believe that with your strength, you can still solve it well.”
Afon’s tone, somewhat heavy. “Yes.” In the end, only one word was lightly spat out.
“That was a great use of the ‘bitter trick’.” Zoey fought back the sourness at the tip of her nose and laughed. “So what are you guys going to do with the Baker family from now on?”
Feng glanced at her, she was clearly smiling, but that smile oozed more hurt than tears.
“I’m sorry, but all of this will have to wait until the president wakes up.”
“Oh …” she responded very, very softly. Just then, the elevator ‘dinged–‘, the door opened, and Zoey trudged out, holding onto her crutches, and headed for her hospital room. Ah Feng just silently followed behind, confirming that she entered the door and laid back on the bed before finally leaving.
Zoey lay back down on her bed, in theory, she was really tired lately, she should have been able to sleep when she hit the pillow. However, she couldn’t fall asleep after tossing and turning. As long as she closed her eyes, her mind was filled with the figure that had been pushed out of the clinic, a scene that tore at her heart every time she thought about it, making her feel terrified and even afraid.
Yes, she really hates him. However, she didn’t want anything to happen to him! Otherwise, this strong hatred, she should be sent to where to go? The feeling of being empty all of a sudden, she should not be able to grasp?
She, wants him, well …
Just live well!
Even if, from now on, they are strangers to each other …
“Jerry, no!”
With a startled yelp, Zoey’s eyes snapped open, her forehead and palms already in a cold sweat.
A warm towel, moist and gentle, wiped the cold sweat off her forehead. Focus came into focus, and all Zoey saw was her mother’s anxious face. She was twisting a fresh towel to wipe the palms of her hands, and apparently having heard her just exclaim, she muttered, “I think you’ve really gone off the deep end, and you’re still screaming his name after all this!”
“Mom, what time is it?” Zoey asked.
“It’s after 10:00 and your brother said he’d see you later.”
It’s after 10:00? It’s been hours since last night …
Zoey , heart shuddered gently. Just now, had that nightmare again …
“Mom, I want to go downstairs.” Zoey struggled to sit up from the bed and lifted the covers to get up.
Yami Hu held her down in one swift motion, “Great Ancestor, please, don’t toss and turn. You were running around last night, weren’t you? The doctor came early this morning to check, and the wound on your leg is cracked again. If you don’t hurt, it hurts when mom looks at it …”
At the end, Yami Hu’s tone was a bit choked. Zoey didn’t dare to be capricious and make her mother worry, so she had to take a step back: “I’ll take the wheelchair, okay? Mom, I’ll be right up.”
“You are going to him.” Yami Hu’s words, unquestioned, looked at her daughter with certainty. Zoey’s heartstrings shook slightly, and there was no rebuttal, just quiet acquiescence.
Yami Hu sighed and patted the pillow to fluff it up a bit, “Zoey , do as you’re told and lie down. The most important thing for you right now is to get well, you can’t keep the kids worried all the time!”
“Mom …” Zoey looked at Yami Hu.
Yami Hu put the towel down and looked solemnly at Zoey , “You still love him? Haven’t you had enough? Zoey, give it up, you can’t beat him!”
“Mom, I won’t have anything to do with him anymore, I really, no longer love.” The last sentence, four simple words, she went as if she had exhausted all her strength, one word at a time, biting extremely heavy. Said to her mother, but also to warn herself. No longer love, do not dare to love, can not love. Everything, to this point should be the end …
Yami Hu heard her daughter’s assurances, and her heart was still hard and tight. On the road of love, she is considered to be a person who has been there. Who would not be able to hear how much hurt and sadness is hidden behind these four words?
She sighed and sat down with Zoey at the edge of the bed, her hand reaching over to take hers. Her hand, so cold it seemed as if it had no temperature. “Don’t bother to look, he’s on a special plane by now.”
Zoey inclined her face, emotions welling up in the bottom of her eyes, and licked her dry lips before asking, “Is he awake yet?”
“I was told that he was conscious, and the doctor who came from England early in the morning transferred him at once. That assistant of his and that friend of his came to see you in the morning, and seeing that you were still asleep, they only chatted with me for a few moments and left in a hurry.” Yami Hu glanced at Zoey, and seeing that she looked bleak, he added, “British medicine is advanced, there will be no problem.”
“Well …,” Zoey answered softly and quietly lay back down on the bed. She closed her eyes and hid the pain, worry, and even reluctance that should no longer exist in her heart into the deepest part of her heart. She thought, as long as this buried, for a period of time, gradually will really will completely forget that person. Along with the heart of those hate, also gradually into the ground for peace, smoke disappears.
“Mom, you say …” she suddenly spoke softly, the corners of her eyes slightly moist, “What about Nini in the future? And KK, will it be the same as his father, now the disease is still latent, when it grows up …”
She, suddenly, didn’t dare to say any more, much less look down and think. Her throat felt like it was choked with a thorn, and her hand subconsciously tugged at the sheets beneath her.
Yami Hu was also shocked, and then made three “blah, blah, blah, blah” sounds, as if he wanted to pour out the nonsense. “All nonsense. Now Nini is still fine, why are you worried about KK? As long as the Xiao Family’s penis can be cured this time, we will take Nini to England to see a doctor. She’s still young now, so she can be cured.”
“Well …” hopefully … everything, is fine.
Zoey gently closed her eyes. I’m afraid that only she can understand Mrs. Zhan’s feelings at this moment. By now, I’m afraid that she can’t rest for a moment, and her heart is hanging in her throat all the time.
Time passed in a trance and Zoey was discharged from the hospital, still a little weak, but much better. The color of her face has gradually appeared.
Since Jerry Xiao became the largest shareholder of the Baker family, but there has been no other news, until today, suddenly notify the shareholders to hold a general meeting …
Sam Baker didn’t want to attend, so he let Owen Baker go.
The whole day’s meeting is related to the development and operation of the Baker family afterward. Zoey thought that her father would not have the courage to go. This, after all, is the foundation of the Baker family. …
Zoey felt guilty.
Meetings that went on all day.
Zoey led the two children to play soccer in the garden at the back, but Nini, being a girl, couldn’t beat KK, but she was so strong that she fell down, got up again, and rushed towards KK, who would occasionally give way for fear that she might hurt herself.
Zoey smiled and watched it all.
The sun is shining just right, and gradually, surprisingly, it’s already summer. I just don’t know what kind of news Owen will bring back today …
Just after 5pm …
“Zhen Guo! Zhen Guo!” Yami Hu cried, causing Zoey’s heart to twist as she hurriedly stood up and headed for the house.
“What happened?” KK and Nini didn’t dare to play anymore and were going inside. “You guys stay here for now, don’t run around. I’ll be right back!” Zoey was afraid that the two children would be worried, so she only hurriedly pacified them before jogging off.
“Mom, I’m calling emergency!” It was my brother’s voice.
He’s back?
Zoey’s heart went cold. It seems that it must be the news brought back today that is bad! Father’s heart and blood pressure have always been bad, in case of irritation, myocardial infarction …
She didn’t dare think any further, and when she entered the hall, it was a real mess. Father’s face was twisted as he rubbed his chest, shocked and sweating on the couch. Mother trembled and held him firmly in her arms, obviously terrified.
“Mom, let dad lie down flat.” Zoey’s face turned white with fear, but she forced herself to calm down. Yami Hu didn’t dare to slow down, but could only let go and let her husband lie down, not even daring to utter a breath. With trembling hands, Zoey anxiously unclasped Sam Baker’s collar, and while applying extra-chest compressions, she instructed, “Li Ma, open all the windows! Hurry up!”
Li’s mom rushed to open the window.
Sam Baker looked a little better and Zoey could hear a faint heartbeat as she pressed against her chest. Owen Baker came running over at a fast pace, “Mom, the doctor will be here soon. How’s Dad doing?”
“It should last a while.” Zoey was glad that when she took her father to the hospital last time, she had carefully asked the doctor for first aid. It seems that next time, we need to prepare an oxygen absorber.
“Brother, what’s going on?” Zoey asked Owen Baker as he helped his father loosen his belt.
Owen Baker eyes slightly dark, looked at Zoey, pursed lips did not say. Instead, Yami Hu choked up, “It’s not the matter of the shareholders’ meeting … the Xiao Family’s calculations this time around, changing our Baker family’s name directly to their the Xiao Family. Moreover, the B457 project that your father took great pains to build was suddenly called off!”
