Military Hospital –
“What’s your name?”
“Aily.”
“Do you remember why you’re here?”
The pale little girl in the hospital bed shook her head, timidly.
Amelia Bright touched her hand, “It’s okay, don’t be afraid, I’m just asking you, I won’t hurt you.”
After saying that, she turned back to the nurse.
“How is her health?”
“There is nothing wrong with all the tests, when she was first brought in before the sleeping pill component within the blood was too large, it seems that someone gave her the drug for a long time, so during that time her mind should be in a state of insensibility, but the little girl’s body has no trauma.”
“I see.”
Amelia Bright breathed a sigh of relief, so the little girl hadn’t suffered for the time being.
After the nurse left, only Amelia Bright and the girl named Aily were left inside the ward again.
She asked some simple questions, and Aily answered them all, although she was a bit timid.
At the age of thirteen, when she was ten years old, she was sent to Beauty River’s orphanage, and after two years, she was adopted by Boss Mao of the bar, and six months ago she was received to live with Boss Mao in the bar.
But when she was asked again about her daily life in the bar, she couldn’t remember much, only that she stayed in the bar and hardly ever went out.
According to the attending doctor, it is probably because the people who take care of Chambers are afraid that she will walk around and talk nonsense, so they give her sedatives and other drugs for a long time to keep her in a state of mental distress.
“Aily, do you remember what your mom and dad are like?”
Aily froze for a moment and shook her head again.
Amelia Bright could see that she seemed to be hiding something, and after a moment of hesitation stroked her head, “It’s okay if you don’t want to talk about it, it’s okay.”
She couldn’t stay at the hospital with the little girl, so she was about to leave, and just as she sat up from the bed, Aily suddenly took her hand.
“What’s wrong?”
She turned back around and met Aily’s gaze.
The thirteen-year-old girl had the eyes of an adult who had seen all the vicissitudes of life, and was surprisingly calm and sober.
“Sister, where will you send me?”
“You won’t be sent away, just stay here and get well.”
“No,” Aily blinked, “when I am well and all the things you have to do are done, where will you send me?”
This child is not very old and looks timid, but her mind is very clear, it seems that before being adopted by Boss Mao, she has also experienced a lot of things.
Amelia Bright simply sat down and said.
“Where do you think we’re going to send you?”
“An orphanage, an orphanage or any other shelter.”
“You don’t want to go?”
“No,” Aily shook her head, “I don’t want to count on anyone anymore.”
“Then where do you want to go?”
“I want to earn money.”
When she heard that, Amelia Bright froze, “Earn money? But you’re still young.”
Aily then stopped talking.
At the age of thirteen, no matter how mature you are psychologically, it is almost impossible to go out and earn money on your own, not to mention that there are laws that explicitly prohibit child labor, even if she can do special jobs, that should not be a child’s childhood.
Amelia Bright felt that this child’s mind was different from others, and was vaguely worried.
“Let’s do this, let me think about this matter, we will try to respect your opinion under the premise of ensuring your safety, during this period, you will be well in the hospital to recuperate.”
I don’t know if Aily listened to this, until Amelia Bright left, she didn’t respond a word.
After leaving the hospital, Amelia Bright went back to Gong Olson to deal with the affairs of the period.
“Sis, do you really want to mention the acquisition of the Chambers family group in the board meeting?”
Candy was sitting across the desk with her chin protruding, looking worried.
“What’s wrong?”
“I went to turn in a report for you the other day, I heard Austin mention this matter with two directors of the board of directors, it seems that the board of directors is very unified, not to take your proposal seriously, I think you should not mention it, when the time to get off the stage will be embarrassing.”
“The thing that should be done, more people stop still have to do, you see they seem to be very unified, but their own hearts are playing their own little calculations.”
Amelia Bright was not impressed, “Just break them down one by one.”
“What do you mean?”
“It’s time for you to take the credit,” Amelia Bright winked at Candy, “I’m counting on you to succeed this time.”
“Me?”
Candy gave a look of disbelief.
The shareholders’ meeting was at the end of this month, and she never fought unprepared battles. It was almost impossible to convince those old-fashioned people in the shareholders’ meeting with a few words, but she still had a long time to prepare before the shareholders’ meeting.
Just after the instruction with Candy, a cell phone rang.
Amelia Bright’s brow furrowed slightly when she saw the number of the caller.
Liam Gellar?
Why is he calling her at this time?
After pressing the answer button, Liam Gellar’s voice soon came out.
“It’s me.”
“What can I do for you, Mr. Gellar?”
“Do you have a moment? I have something I want to talk to you about.”
“Mr. Gellar, I don’t think it’s a good time for us to meet alone, but if you have something to say, you can say it over the phone.”
“What if I say that what I want to talk about is about that big fire?”
When she heard this, Amelia Bright clenched her phone violently, “What did you say?”
“Come out and talk about it, I can tell you everything you want to know, including the fire in the first place, the various causes are not what you think, I can tell you everything.”
Liam Gellar’s voice paused for a moment, “Lucy, I know it’s you.”
Amelia Bright’s gaze was stunned with a bit of hate, but she sneered, “You know it’s me, and you dare to ask me out, Liam Gellar, aren’t you afraid the spirits will haunt you?”
“Haunted or not, you are not already implementing your revenge plan? You’re close to success, don’t you want to know why I did it in the first place?”
This sentence is almost a disguised admission that the fire was planned by him, how could she not agree to see him, picked up this life, was to find out these things back.
“Okay, I’ll see you, but I’ll set the time and place.”
“Okay.”
After hanging up the phone, Amelia Bright took the car keys and left the male Olson.
On the way, she got a call from Bohdi Olson, and the tone on the other end was relaxed.
“I was passing by the Austin Group, and I just saw your car. Where are you going?”
At that, Amelia Bright glanced in her left mirror and saw a white Maserati following behind, and Bohdi Olson could be seen driving.
Her eyebrows darkened, and after a moment’s hesitation, she confessed that
“I’m going to see Liam Gellar.”
“What?”
Bohdi Olson’s tone changed immediately.
“What are you going to see him for? He’s got more heart than a cinder block, you stop the car.”
“There should always be closure on my parents, and I want to hear from him why he did what he did in the first place.”
