Baird Lane’s thin lips pursed in silence.
Christine White looked at him like that, which was not understandable, and the corner of her mouth twitched, “Did I guess right?”
Baird Lane gave her a look, “Yes, you guessed it, Owen Dong expected me to find out about it and made an escape plan ahead of time because he knew that if you weren’t dead, I’d be mad enough to get back at him.”
“So it really was him who had someone run me over?” Christine White straightened her back.
Baird Lane had a cold glint in his eye, “It’s him, he never trusted Nigel and planted a listening device in Nigel’s cell phone a long time ago, so when he found out that Nigel had betrayed him by identifying with us, he dogged him and tried to take one away.”
“That person is me.” Christine White smiled bitterly.
Baird Lane squeezed the back of her hand and felt a twinge of apology for her, “I’m sorry the Dongs’ feud with The Lane Family got you into this.”
Christine White shook her head, “It’s alright, I am also a member of The Lane Family, there is no such thing as being implicated or not, it’s just that Hugh Dong….. … Owen Dong knows that he couldn’t kill me but hurt Hugh Dong?”
“There’s no way he doesn’t know.” Baird Lane snorted derisively.
Christine White’s lips moved, “Then doesn’t he have any sadness at all? Even if Hugh Dong is not his biological son, he has raised him for more than twenty years, does he have no feelings for Hugh Dong at all?”
She was incredulous.
Baird Lane rubbed a handful of her soft hair, ”You are still too naive, to Owen Dong, Nigel is the son of an enemy, would you have feelings for the child of an enemy? If he did, how could he distrust Nigel and plant a listening device in Nigel’s cell phone? Not to mention …”
Seeing that he suddenly stopped talking, Christine White, tickled with curiosity, busied herself with taking his hands off her head, and pursued the question, “What’s more what?”
Baird Lane’s face grimaced, “Before Owen Dong escaped, he had laughed and celebrated the fact that even if he hadn’t killed you, he had left Nigel a vegetable.”
“What?” Christine White gasped, “How.”
“So you’re saying there’s something to be said for feelings for people like that.” Baird Lane asked her.
Christine White bowed her head in silence and had nothing more to say.
Yeah, Owen Dong, who tried to harm the Lane’s father but failed, and was saved by the Lane’s father and then returned the favor, doesn’t have any feelings.
She’s just not worth it, not for Hugh Dong.
She could tell that Hugh Dong had feelings for Owen Dong, for Owen Dong.
“Hey … “Sighing, Christine White inclined her head slightly and leaned into Baird Lane’s arms, listening to the sound of his heartbeat, and asked with her eyes closed, “So what are you going to do after this, how are you going to catch Owen Dong when he escapes?”
“I’ve asked Gates to contact Interpol, and after that there’s Interpol to arrest him, he won’t get away for long.” Baird Lane replied as he lowered his head and gently kissed the top of her head.
Christine White’s eyes lit up with interest, “Interpol?”
“Uh-huh.”
“Is it the kind of criminal cop who comes out all racy, in a black suit, like a secret agent?” Christine White gesticulated openly.
Baird Lane raised an eyebrow as he thought about what she had said, a few black lines instantly condensing down the corners of his forehead, “Watching too many movies?”
“No?” Christine White froze.
Baird Lane didn’t bother to answer her back.
Christine White beamed in disappointment, “I thought that was really it.”
“Come on, don’t get any ideas.” Baird Lane popped her in the head.
Christine White got up from his arms and rubbed her forehead where it had been bounced, “By the way, what about Leo Bort and Molly Bort?”
“Leo Bort has had a pickup, Gates has gone out of the country to make an arrest, and as for Molly Bort, her whereabouts are unknown at this time.” Baird Lane’s brow was furrowed as he spoke, obviously not satisfied with the result.
Christine White was also displeased, her small mouth quirking, “She can really duck, but it’s nice that Leo Bort can catch it.”
She clasped her palms together.
She can’t wait to question Leo Bort about her own mother’s car accident and what’s really going on.
Once asked, she absolutely and immediately made Leo Bort pay dearly.
“When Gates brings the man back, I’ll accompany you to meet him.” Baird Lane knew that Christine White had a big obsession with Leo Bort, so he wasn’t at all surprised to see the hatred for Leo Bort show in her eyes.
“Good.” Christine White nodded in response.
Baird Lane stood up, “You rest, I’ll check on Nigel.”
“Go on, talk to Hugh Dong as much as you can, try to say something important to stimulate him, it’s the only way he might wake up.” Christine White mentions him.
Baird Lane dropped his eyelids, “I know.”
He turned and headed out the door.
Christine White looked at his back and sighed softly.
At that moment, Aunt Lucy pushed the door in and was slightly surprised to see Christine White sitting alone on the hospital bed, “You’re awake, ma’am?”
She set the fruit basket down in her hands.
Christine White squeezed out a smile at her, “Just woke up.”
“What about Mister? Didn’t mister come back?” Aunt Lucy looked around and didn’t see the Baird Lane man.
Christine White replied with a yawn, “He’s gone to see Hugh Dong.”
“So.” Aunt Lucy nodded, then opened the fruit basket and took an apple out of it to wash.
After washing out, she pulled a chair over and sat down by the hospital bed, peeling an apple as she spoke, “By the way ma’am, while you were sleeping, someone came from the police station.”
Christine White turned her head around and looked at her, “Said what?”
“It’s not much, it just means that the case of the car accident is closed and I came by to let you know.”
“So.” Christine White gave a very subdued oh.
She wasn’t the least bit surprised by the outcome.
After all, Dong’s is bankrupt, the person behind this car accident is Owen Dong, Owen Dong has run away, the case is not closed.
“And there’s the question about compensation.” Aunt Lucy carefully sliced the apple into several pieces, put them on a small plate, and handed them over to Christine White.
Christine White took it and picked up a piece with her fork and put it in her mouth and chewed it before swallowing, “What happened to the compensation?”
“That is, the driver has died, he also has no family, so the driver’s compensation, Mrs. you can not get, as for Owen Dong’s compensation, to wait for Owen Dong was arrested and returned to the case before settling, the police station side is so said.” Aunt Lucy revved.
Christine White nodded understandingly, “I see.”
In fact, she didn’t care if she was compensated or not.
All she cares about is what happens to Owen Dong!
Dang!
There was a sudden knock on the door.
Christine White stopped forking her apple and looked toward the door to the hospital room, “Who is it?”
“Ma’am it’s me.” Gates’ voice came from the door.
Christine White looks to Aunt Lucy and motions for her to open the door.
Aunt Lucy gathered up the apple skins before getting up and walking over to open the door.
Gates walks in, winded, and asks, “Ma’am, where’s President Lane? His phone is off and I have something important to inform him of.”
“He went to see Hugh Dong in ICU.” Christine White didn’t ask what was going on, just told him where Baird Lane was.
With a grateful bow, Gates turned and walked quickly away.
Aunt Lucy was a little dumbfounded to see him come and go so quickly, “What’s he in such a hurry for?”
“He said it was important.” Christine White looked in the direction Gates had left and shrugged her shoulders, whispering back.
Aunt Lucy thought for a moment, “Ma’am, why don’t I go over and listen and see what’s going on?”
Christine White smiled and declined, “Or not, I’ll just ask Baird when the time comes, Aunt Lucy, give me your cell phone for a second.”
“Ma’am want to make a call?” Aunt Lucy pulled open a drawer and held out her cell phone to her.
