After this mess, the previous feeling of loss was gone, but a sense of exasperation and deeper exhaustion grew.
Turning off the lights and planning to rest, the phone rang again.
“Come out and play, Ms. Miller!”
The man’s voice was already tainted with drunkenness, and the chaotic sound of loud music was giving Marisa Darcya headache.
“John Wilson, it’s too late…”
“What did you say? I can’t hear you here, come quickly, friends are waiting for you!” The man yelled a few times before hanging up the phone.
Immediately after, the phone received his location information from him.
The last time she had a drink with this John Wilson, the Miller Family had signed a small contract, and she had to get up in order not to lose her moneymaker.
Sitting at the dressing table, she quickly put on her makeup, changed into the short dress she came in, sprayed her perfume on the back of her neck, and stepped on her high heels before she left the house, inadvertently glancing at the full-length mirror behind the door.
This life she has lived for too long, the person in the mirror is familiar, but the haggard face under the makeup is incomparably unfamiliar, as if a disgusted little person, pointing at her face and laughing.
The haunting sound of laughter still echoed in her ears as she sat in the bar room and was plied with drinks by John Wilson.
Soon she was dizzy and collapsed into the sofa.
John Wilson exchanged glances with the man beside him, then stood up and led the crowd noisily to the next room, leaving behind a drunken Marisa Darcyand the strange man with the greedy smile.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk, I’ve heard that Miss Marisa is a beautiful woman, today I saw her, and she really lives up to expectations.”
The man unbuttoned his collar, rubbed his palms together, and pounced on Marisa Darcywith impatience…
“Bang!”
The door of the private room was kicked open, thinking that the man had returned to ruin his good deed, the man turned his head in annoyance: “John Wilson, we agreed to a modified car for a woman, you can not…”
Before finishing his sentence, he suddenly found a strange man standing under the blurred light: “You… you who ah you?
Paul Johnson stepped forward to pick up Marisa Miller, his eyes swept over his face, and left straight away.
Brown Group, President’s office.
Alex Brown was sitting at his desk, reading patiently, when he heard a “pop”.
Snap… snap…
Blood dripping down on the paper
The darkness hit him in an instant, and he didn’t even have time to pick up his phone before he fell out of his seat.
When he woke up, he was lying on his bedroom bed, with the family doctor, Eric Chan, the housekeeper and the maid standing in a row next to him, and if his body wasn’t still strong, he almost thought he was going to die.
“Mr. Brown, you suddenly fainted at the office, and I found it when I was delivering the documents. Eric Chan spoke first, explaining the situation.
Alex Brown nodded slightly, signaling that he had done a good job, and then looked at the doctor.
“The nosebleeds are related to the several injuries you’ve suffered in your brain.” The family doctor frowned and locked eyes with him, his face as grave as ever: “Mr. Brown, I suggest you go abroad for treatment as soon as possible, to get out of the current stress, so that no recurrence or aggravation of the condition will occur again, and with luck, you may be able to recover your memory.”
With Eric Chan’s help, Alex Brown leaned against the bed, and after waving off the crowd, looked out the window alone.
Yes, it was time for him to leave…
Father and daughter are connected, and on this side Alex Brown’ condition suddenly worsens, and Keira has been running a high fever since last night.
Keira is young, has leukemia and mild asthma, Dr. Kim did not dare to use a lot of medication, and could only take her temperature again and again, using simple physical cooling methods. It was not until early this morning, when she showed no signs of improvement, that she was given a small oral dose of fever-reducing medication.
Master Wright and Joe Wright were at her bedside, relieved to learn that her temperature was dropping.
“Rest for a while, we’ll take care of Keira .” Master Wright advised heartily.
With her eyes closed, Emma Rosy shook her head and, to the surprise of Master Wright and Joe Wright, said, “I’m going out first,” and rushed out of the house without a backward glance.
She thought a lot about the night, first about Keira, and then, to distract herself, about Alex Brown.
Keira’s illness may have been weather-related, but it was also definitely a result of missing Alex Brown. If Joe Wright’s information is correct, Alex Brown will be leaving the country in a few days, and his return is still uncertain. Will Keira be sick with longing and live in pain all day?
People are strange creatures, when Alex Brown pursued her, she refused to do so.
Alex Brown gave up and even ran away, but she tried to find her way.
The Brown Family.
The housekeeper said through the door, “Miss Richard, the gentleman is not here, please go back.”
“It’s okay, I’ll wait for him to come back!”
Emma Rosy raised her voice and said to the people in the villa: “My daughter is sick, her fever has been high all night, and she keeps crying for her father, I don’t believe he would be so cruel as to avoid even his daughter!”
“Miss Keira is sick? This… how can this be done…”
The housekeeper looked towards the second floor, knowing that he couldn’t hide Alex Brown’ presence in the house from Emma Rosy, so he ran back to report.
The Brown Family’s courtyard is not as large as the Wright Family’s, so standing outside the door and shouting, as long as the voice is loud enough, the people in the building can definitely hear.
“Alex Brown, I know you’re in there. What’s the point of being a man and hiding when you have something to say to me? You don’t want to see me and my daughter, do you? Then please make a promise and stop repeating yourself like you did before! Today is your last chance, if you don’t show up, Keira and I will have nothing more to do with you!”
Alex Brown opened the curtain and saw the thin figure of a woman standing in the wind under the dark clouds, as if she were a fragile flower that would wither in the next moment.
The housekeeper, after reporting the situation, wanted to say something but finally retreated silently.
In a short time, the gloomy sky ripped down the middle and poured down rain.
With his hands almost clenched and bleeding, he exhaled heavily and left through the window.
Emma Rosy raised the corners of her lips, knowing she had succeeded…
They men stood in the living room.
Alex Brown looked out the window, his tone flat: “I’ll see Keira. anything else?”
If there’s nothing else, there’s no point in talking to him.
Emma Rosy pursed her lips, pretending to be relaxed: “I heard that you are leaving the country, Keira needs her father, so I thought… if it’s okay with you, I’ll ask Keira if she wants to leave with you.”
Alex Brown stiffened, his eyes finally landing on her face.
“You want me to take Keira?”
