“Okay Harlow, I’ll trouble you then.” Brayden said politely, “Harlow do you have something on your mind or are you just in a bad mood, why don’t I do it.”
Seeing Harlow’s somewhat distracted look, Brayden said thoughtfully.
He could have helped Dolly himself with something like dinner, and if Harlow had something on her mind, there was no excuse for doing it herself.
“It’s okay, I’ll do it, no need to bother you, Mr. Kirkland.”
Harlow said in a rush, looking like he didn’t want to bother Brayden.
Seeing that she did not want to say anything, Brayden also did not force, after all, the relationship between the two is not familiar at all, each in their own way.
Harlow pushed the food cart into Dolly’s hospital room.
“Harlow, you’re coming over here.”
Dolly was also polite when she saw Harlow pushing in the door.
“Yes Miss Dean, it’s time for dinner.”
Harlow pulled the corner of his mouth and said with a smirk.
“Here’s today’s meal, let me feed you.”
“Wow, today’s meal is so scrumptious.”
Dolly smiled like a child, she didn’t notice Harlow’s abnormality and was happy as a child when she saw the meal.
That’s when Brayden walked in.
“Look at you happy, it’s just dinner, it’s like you haven’t eaten.” Brayden teased somewhat gently.
Ignoring Brayden, he finally picked up his chopsticks and got ready to start.
“Miss Dean, wait a minute.” Harlow suddenly interrupted at this point.
“What’s the matter Harlow, what’s the problem?”
Seeing Harlow’s reaction, Dolly wondered what was wrong with her and asked somewhat inexplicably.
“Nothing, nothing, I just misread it and thought there was something in the meal!”
Harlow said a little tangled, and finished with an embarrassed smile.
“Sorry, Miss Dean, getting older and having trouble with my eyes.”
“Harlow you’re not kidding, you’re only in your thirties, how can you get older.”
Dolly chuckled, thinking she was joking.
Brayden did not say anything aside, but looked straight at Dolly, he always felt that Harlow was very wrong today, as if there was something to hide from them.
But Harlow himself did not say, he is also confused, so he had to continue to observe on the side.
Dolly first took a sip of the soup from her plate.
“Mmm, that’s delicious, Harlow your hospital food is really getting better and better!”
Dolly said admiringly, without a moment’s hesitation, and continued happily preparing the rest of the dishes.
“Miss Dean, this meal may not be too clean, let me get you another one.”
Seeing Dolly immediately put the dish in her mouth, Harlow finally spoke up. Earlier she had been struggling, but now she had finally made up her mind, although there was still pain in her eyes.
Dolly froze in some confusion as she watched Harlow carry the meal away from the table.
“Harlow, what’s going on? If you have any difficulties, just say so, and I will help if I can.”
Brayden finally found out what the problem was, and it should be that there was something wrong with the meal this time.
Asked by Brayden, Harlow finally panicked.
“I … me”
She was a little hesitant, not knowing what to say, except for the sweat seeping out of her forehead, showing how nervous she was at the moment.
“There’s something wrong with the food today, isn’t there? Who exactly is targeting Dolly? Harlow, I know it’s not your intention, just say what’s going on and we’ll never give you a hard time.”
The look on Harlow’s face said it all, Brayden guessed outright.
Hearing Brayden’s speculation, Harlow finally stopped hiding and told the truth about what happened.
“Mr. Kirkland, Miss Dean, I’m sorry!”
Harlow’s face was full of remorse and helplessness, “I didn’t want to do it, but I really had no choice, someone asked me to put poison in Miss Dean’s meal, it was not my intention! Please forgive me!”
“Someone arranged for you to poison Dolly’s meal? Who was that person?”
Hearing Harlow tell the truth of the matter, Brayden was shocked, fortunately Harlow has a conscience, otherwise … That the consequences are really unthinkable.
“I don’t know who it was, but someone called me today and said they had kidnapped my child and that if my child was to be safe, I had to do what they said. He also wouldn’t allow me to call the police or he would kill my child.”
At this point, Harlow, in tears, went forward and knelt before Brayden, begging, “Mr. Kirkland, I did not mean to harm Miss Dean, for the sake of my timely repentance, you can save my child! I know you are very powerful, there must be a way!”
Seeing Harlow like this, Dolly, who has always been kind-hearted, is also very unforgiving.
“Brayden, Harlow can’t help it, besides, she didn’t do anything to hurt us in the end, but told us the truth of the matter, so help her.” Dolly advised.
“Y’all take it easy for now, I know Harlow was coerced into doing this, and I don’t blame her for it right now, but this must be something to think about. I will send Leon to inquire about the whereabouts of Harlow’s child, and I’m sure they know Harlow won’t necessarily do what they say, so there must still be a backhand.”
Brayden first helped Harlow up on the floor, gave her a reassuring look of understanding, and then said with a look of certainty.
“So what do we do now?”
Since Brayden said so, he must have thought of a way, so Dolly asked with some urgency.
“Now we just have to wait and wait for them to reveal their true purpose.”
After a pause, Brayden added: “Harlow, it’s not safe for you to stay here now, so go home first, or stay well elsewhere in the hospital, and I’ll let you know as soon as there’s any news about your baby.”
“Yes, yes.” Harlow agreed, “I’ll do anything you want as long as I can save my baby!” “Mr. Kirkland, I’ll be happy to help you!”
Brayden didn’t say anything, just nodded, and Harlow left the ward after bidding Dolly goodbye again.
Looking at Harlow’s departing figure, Brayden was lost in thought.
Who in the world would harm themselves and Dolly?
Brayden really can’t think of a person with whom they have a grudge, now down and out, disabled, it makes no sense that there is still so much energy ah.
I guess I need to pay attention to myself these days, Brayden reminded himself.
Then Brayden called Leon’s phone, “Leon, you immediately now to help me check the Harlow child news, he was kidnapped, you send someone must be safe to rescue him.”
“Copy that.”
When it comes to business, Leon’s answers are always so crisp and concise.
Leon and Skyler were on their way to the hospital at this time and hadn’t had time to check on Dolly, knowing that only now did they have the time.
Hanging up the phone, Brayden suddenly found a pair of eyes staring at him from the doorway outside the hospital room, eyes full of cold blood and cruelty.
