Her expression froze, and her eyes looked even more furtively at his pockets.
The person who called was a real pain in the ass, calling at this time of the day or night.
Baird Lane had no idea what was going on in Christine White’s mind as he let go of her hand and took his cell phone out of his pocket to look at it.
The call was from Ives Norton, and he didn’t hesitate to answer it.
“Baird, something’s wrong.” Ives Norton shouted at almost roaring volume.
Baird Lane blushed, “What happened?”
“Molly Bort is out of the hospital.” Ives Norton said.
Baird Lane’s heart tightened, “What do you mean, Molly’s out of the hospital?”
Christine White heard this and was stunned, and quickly looked at his cell phone.
Nah, he didn’t have the speakerphone on, so she couldn’t hear the call at all.
That didn’t stop the surprise in her mind, though.
Molly Bort is actually out of the hospital?
Is Molly Bort out of the hospital at this hour?
She, who didn’t know anything about any hospitals, knew that a patient with severe leukemia couldn’t leave the hospital at all until he was completely cured, not to mention that Molly Bort had just pulled that suicide stunt, and her wounds hadn’t even healed yet, so if she cracked open and couldn’t stop the bleeding, she could have died from a hemorrhage.
“Yes.” Ives Norton nodded, “She just left the hospital.”
“Then why didn’t you stop it, her body simply cannot leave the hospital, don’t you know that as a doctor?” Baird Lane reprimanded.
Ives Norton returned apologetically, “Of course I know, but I can’t stop it, her discharge was arranged by Leo Bort and they’re adamant about it, so I’m calling now to ask you to persuade them.”
“It’s Uncle Bort?” Baird Lane wrinkled his brow unexpectedly.
Ives Norton sighed, “Yes, half an hour ago he came to the hospital to see Molly Bort, father and daughter didn’t know what to say, and was so determined to get out of the hospital that no amount of persuasion would help.”
Baird Lane’s thin lips pursed into a straight line, “I know, you arrange the hospital side first, I will let Molly go back, when she goes back, you immediately give her a full body checkup, especially her wounds.”
“I know.”
The communication ended, and Christine White knew the matter wasn’t over when she watched Baird Lane not only not put away his cell phone, but open his address book instead.
She was going to ask Molly Bort what the hell was going on with her discharge, but seeing him like this, she dismissed the idea.
“Baird, I’m going to go help Aunt Lucy in the kitchen,” she said, and without waiting for Baird Lane’s reply, went straight to the kitchen.
Baird Lane glanced at her back, withdrew his gaze and then found Leo Bort’s number and dialed it directly.
Leo Bort just seemed to be waiting for this call as if he had been waiting for it all along, the Baird Lane call was answered just as he called, “Ah Baird, what can I do for you?”
His tone was lazy, and it sounded like he was asking a question knowingly.
Baird Lane naturally picked up on that and his eyes narrowed a bit, “Uncle, is it your intention that Molly be discharged?”
“So that’s what you’re asking.” Leo Bort chuckled, “It’s what I meant, but it’s also what Molly meant.”
“Molly?” clenched the back seat of Baird Lane’s teeth, “Uncle, why are you guys out of the hospital, you know how Molly is, she’s messed up, why are you following suit.”
“Baird ah, naturally we did this by agreement, it’s not a mess, and it’s exactly for Molly’s good that I did this.” Leo Bort sat on the sofa and sipped his red wine back.
Baird Lane is suspicious, “For Molly’s sake?”
“Yes, you also know that Molly is going to have an operation soon, but you refused to let Christine White donate her bone marrow anymore, and even let Molly use other bone marrow to hang on to her life first, as Molly’s father, I couldn’t look at it or accept it, so I had to take Molly out of the hospital.” Although Leo Bort said it in a cloudy tone, he couldn’t hide the resentment in his tone.
Baird Lane knew he was blaming himself for his impromptu backtracking and didn’t countenance his attitude.
“Uncle, this matter is my fault, but I am already increasing my manpower to look for bone marrow, you suddenly discharged Molly from the hospital in case something happens …”
“Nothing will happen.” Leo Bort interrupted him and said with words, “Because I’ve already found the right bone marrow for Molly’s surgery, I’ll arrange for someone to carry it out in the next two days, so I don’t need you to worry about it.”
“You found the bone marrow?” Baird Lane was slightly startled.
Leo Bort smiled enigmatically, “Yeah, that’s exactly why I’m letting Molly out of the hospital, well Baird, I won’t tell you any more, I’ll call you when Molly’s surgery is successful, wait for our good news.”
Hanging up the phone, Baird Lane stared at it thoughtfully.
Molly had found the right bone marrow, which was definitely a good thing, and he should have been happy.
But for some reason, not only was he not happy, but on the contrary, his heart was troubled.
But why exactly he was uneasy, he couldn’t say.
“Baird, are you done with your phone call?” Christine White’s voice sounded behind him.
Baird Lane put away his cell phone and turned around, “Finished typing.”
“Then come over for dinner.” Christine White smiled at him.
Baird Lane nodded and followed her into the restaurant.
Christine White helped him pull out his chair.
When he sat down, she asked, “I just heard you say on the phone that Ms. Molly Bort was discharged from the hospital, why is that?”
“Uncle Bort found the right bone marrow and got his own surgical group, which is why he picked Molly up and discharged her.” Baird Lane took a bite of his meal and answered her question somewhat absentmindedly.
Christine White, however, was pleasantly surprised, “Miss Molly Bort has found bone marrow, that’s great.”
So that Molly Bort will never miss her bone marrow again.
“You’re happy for Molly?” Baird Lane looked at her.
Christine White added a brussel sprout to the bowl, “Yeah, ’cause then I’d be safe.”
The speaker has no intention of listening.
Baird Lane couldn’t help but grunt when he thought she was counting on them making her donate bone marrow.
Christine White cocked her head in confusion, “Baird, what’s wrong with you? You seem a little less than happy.”
“Nothing, let’s eat.” Baird Lane stopped paying attention to her.
Christine White shrugged her shoulders and didn’t say anything.
The two of them finished their meal quietly and went their separate ways upstairs.
Baird Lane, on a rare occasion, didn’t go to work in the study and went back to the bedroom with Christine White.
He was in the room so early that Christine White was still rather uncomfortable.
“Baird, I’m done with the shower, go ahead and do it.” Christine White scrubbed her hair and came out of the bathroom and said to the man on the couch looking at his cell phone.
The man answered without looking up, then put down his phone and got up to go to the bathroom.
When he got out of the shower, he saw Christine White sitting on the bed, holding a tablet in her hands with headphones in her ears, and wondering what was playing on the tablet, laughing unimaginatively.
Baird Lane swept past her with some disgust, “You’re not sleeping?”
“Huh? What did you say?” Christine White took off one of her headphones.
Baird Lane’s expression sank and he didn’t bother to pay her any attention, dropping the towel he was holding to pull the blow dryer from the bed.
Seeing this, Christine White put the tablet down in her hand and took the lead in picking up the blow dryer, “Baird, let me help you with that.”
“Suit yourself.” Baird Lane didn’t say no, and sat right down on the edge of the bed.
Seeing him agree, Christine White smiled happily and, after sticking the blow dryer plug into the plug, knelt behind him to blow dry his hair.
She was so gentle that she called it a pleasure to have her blow-dry her hair, and Baird Lane couldn’t help but close his eyes in comfort.
Just then, Christine White’s face suddenly changed and she let out a dry retch, hurriedly turning off the blow dryer to cover her mouth and jumping out of bed to run towards the bathroom.
Baird Lane heard the commotion and his eyes snapped open, the better to see the sight of her closing the bathroom door.
“What’s going on?” His face tightened as he stood up and made his way to the bathroom as well.
