Chapter 407 – Owen Dong Escapes

Book:Seize His Little Wife Published:2024-6-3

Christine White tapped it open and looked at it with locked eyes.
The video isn’t long, two minutes or so, and it’s a quick watch.
And the content of the video is also very simple, it is the vice president of Dong’s group personally informed the public that Dong’s group went bankrupt.
On top of that, there was a group of staff from the Trade and Industry Bureau, who were at Dong’s Group to seize the contents of the account books.
And this short video is already enough to prove that Dong’s Group is really finished.
Christine White turned off her cell phone in a buoyant mood and put it back in the pocket of her hospital gown and smiled, “Baird actually did it, and it’s only been one night.”
“Yeah, mister is really something.” Aunt Lucy chimed in.
Christine White rubbed her cheek, “It’s a shame Owen Dong didn’t come forward, and I wonder if Baird caught Owen Dong yet.”
“This Gates assistant didn’t say, but I think since Dong’s group has collapsed, then Mr. will surely take advantage of the situation and catch Owen Dong, if you’re not sure about it, ma’am, give Mr. a call and ask you to ask?” Aunt Lucy suggested.
Christine White listened to her with some intent, hesitated for two seconds, and then vetoed it.
“No, maybe he’s planning to capture Owen Dong right now, so I won’t bother him with a phone call, so as not to distract him, but rather wait for him to tell me the results himself when he calls or comes to the hospital himself.” She said with a smile.
Aunt Lucy didn’t try to persuade her any further when she thought about it, and helped her in the direction of the hospital room.
In the two days that followed, Christine White, apart from visiting Hugh Dong several times a day and talking to him, was concerned about the news of Dong’s group.
Dong’s group has been completely seized, the group building are labeled with seals, will soon be auctioned, and during this period, as the chairman of the board of directors, Owen Dong, actually did not show up once, which really makes people feel curious.
I wonder if he’s been caught, or still hiding somewhere?
And in the past two days, Baird Lane also seemed to have disappeared, and did not come to the hospital, she did not resist calling him twice, and the result was that she did not get through, and even Gates’s phone number, it was turned off.
This made her worry about whether something had happened to them while arresting Owen Dong, so much so that her whole body was on edge these two days, she couldn’t eat well, couldn’t sleep well, and her mental state was atrophied.
Aunt Lucy looked all heartbroken and couldn’t help but touch her head and advise, “Ma’am, sleep for a while, you’ve got dark circles under your eyes.”
Christine White waved her hand and said tiredly, “Where can I sleep, Hugh Dong’s side, Baird’s side, without a result, there’s really no way for me to rest in peace.”
In the past two days, Hugh Dong was still the same as in the beginning, without the slightest reaction, which made her anxious and panicked at the same time.
With only eleven days left, her chances of waking up Hugh Dong were getting smaller and smaller, and she was really scared that Hugh Dong didn’t wake up after eleven days had passed.
“Hey …” Aunt Lucy, of course, knows the pressure Christine White is under, and sighed heartily, “I know, but ma’am, you can’t do it without resting properly, your body won’t be able to handle it, don’t forget, you still have a child.”
“A baby?” Christine White subconsciously put her hand on her stomach.
Aunt Lucy poured a glass of warm water for her, “Yes, when you are pregnant, you need to rest well, if you are not well, how can the baby be well, does your stomach still hurt in the past two days?”
Aunt Lucy asked with concern.
Christine White shook her head gently, “It doesn’t hurt, it’s just a sore back.”
“Normal, it’s like that when you’re pregnant, when your belly gets big later, not only your back is sore, your legs and feet are also prone to edema and cramps.” Aunt Lucy said with a smile.
Christine White’s heart fluttered at the sound, and her hand shook as she held the glass, almost spilling the water inside.
“Edema cramps?”
“Yeah.” Aunt Lucy nodded very calmly as if she didn’t see the flash of fear in Christine White’s eyes.
Christine White’s body shrank towards the covers, “So … So Aunt Lucy, tell me what things to look out for when you’re pregnant, other than edema and cramps?”
Say it all together so she can be prepared.
Aunt Lucy readily obliged, “Sure, I’ll tell you about it.”
She pulled a chair over to the side of the bed and sat down, and began to tell Christine White about what can happen to a pregnant woman in a pregnancy, and what to watch out for.
After hearing this, Christine White lamented, “It’s so hard to be pregnant.”
“That’s true, that’s why being a mom is great.” Aunt Lucy rubbed her belly.
Christine White also looked down at her stomach with a little tenderness in her eyes, “I’m going to be a good mom.”
“I trust you ma’am, well ma’am take a nap.” Aunt Lucy took the glass of water from her hand and placed it on the bedside.
Christine White hmmmed, “Okay, I’ll take a nap, call me if you need me.”
She said that, but there was no guarantee that she would get any sleep.
For the past two days, she had been too tense, so tense that even when she fell asleep, it was a shallow sleep, and she would wake up at the slightest movement, unable to sleep at all.
Aunt Lucy was well aware of this, and not daring to disturb her, she left the hospital room gently after she closed her eyes.
I don’t know how long it was, but half asleep, Christine White woke up with a frown as if she heard something.
She slowly opened her eyes, feeling a little groggy in the head, and couldn’t help but reach up and hammer her forehead.
Just then, a hand suddenly reached out and cupped hers, stopping her from continuing to pound her head and warning in a deep voice, “Stop hammering.”
This voice …
Christine White jerked her head around to see Baird Lane pursing his thin lips and sitting on the edge of the bed looking at her with a disapproving expression, clearly displeased with her whacking her head just now.
“Baird, you’re back?” Christine White sat up in surprise, she didn’t care if he slowed her down from what she had just done, all she knew was that he was back.
Baird Lane let out a soft hmmm and withdrew his hand loosely, “Did you just get a headache?”
Christine White scratched her hair, “A little bit, I haven’t gotten any rest in the last two days and my head hasn’t been feeling well.”
“I heard Aunt Lucy say that.” Baird Lane picks up.
Christine White lowered her hand from her head and surveyed him carefully, a slight surprise in her eyes, “Baird, you haven’t gotten any rest in the last two days either?”
The suit he was wearing was wrinkled and clearly the same one he had worn two days before.
There was also a tired look on his face, and a faint dark circle under his eyelids, even as the scruff rose from his chin.
It was evident that he hadn’t rested or taken care of himself in the past two days either.
You know he’s always been a person who cares about his image, he would be this disheveled and wonder what he’s been through in the past two days.
“Haven’t been sleeping.” Baird Lane replied gently.
Christine White’s eyes widened in surprise, then it was a worried frown, “Been up all this time?”
“No time for sleep.” Baird Lane said, pinching his brow.
“Because of Owen Dong?” Christine White looked at him.
Baird Lane nodded.
“Got him, then?” Christine White’s hand, resting on the covers, squeezed nervously.
Baird Lane’s eyes narrowed and a bit of annoyance filled his voice, “No, he got away.”
“Ran away?” Christine White’s volume rose, “Ran off how?”
“He was there waiting for me when I found him, but when I sent my men over to get him, a helicopter rescued him.” Baird Lane’s eyes were dark and uncertain.
Christine White blinked, “A helicopter? How could there be a helicopter, did he know in advance that you were going to be there, so he arranged for a helicopter escape in advance?”
