Book:If Loving You Is Wrong Published:2024-5-29

Not bothering to explain to him, Alex Brown ordered “Stay put”, then quickly closed the line and casually threw the phone on the sofa.
The more he thought about it, the weirder he felt, so he asked Ivy Smith to help him and went back downstairs to see what was going on.
This time They came prepared, although their attention was distracted to the outside world, the conversation was much more natural.
“There may be big moves in the near future, so you continue to recuperate and I’ll pick you up and discharge you when it’s over.” Alex Brown still holds the umbrella, shielding Ivy Smith’s head from the sun, while exposing himself to the blazing sun.
“Don’t you need my help?”
“Eric Chan alone is enough. You’re not well yet, don’t try to be brave.”
Ivy Smith pursed her lips and smiled, not insisting anymore, hoping that this would last longer and longer, so that even if she left in the future, she would not have regrets.
As They strolled along the stone path in the garden, the forgotten cell phone in the hospital room was ringing.
Emma Rosy had planned a business trip to S City today and had not yet finished her work, but now she was sitting in the car on the way back, anxiously calling Alex Brown.
There was no answer to several calls in a row, so she clutched the phone for a moment and considered contacting Hope instead.
“keria fainted in kindergarten, your school is close, hurry up and take care of it, mom will be back soon!”
After the walk Alex Brown took Ivy Smith back to the ward and was about to leave when he heard two nurses in the elevator talking about the leukemia child.
Because Keira was also a leukemia patient, he paid special attention.
“…… It’s so hot right now, and the child is already weak with leukemia, how can she get more sunlight? The kindergarten is also really irresponsible.”
“Alas, it is not their fault.”
“That’s not true, I see the child’s sister is very good, thanks to her first aid measures.”
“By the way, I remember the kid’s sister’s name is quite special, what is it?”
“Hope!”
Ding–
The elevator reached the first floor and the nurses joked and laughed their way out, while Alex Brown froze in place until the doors were about to close, then snapped back to attention and rushed outside to call the kindergarten teacher.
Expecting that it was all just a coincidence, his heart fell to the bottom when he pressed his phone screen and saw a dozen missed calls lying inside.
When he learned from the kindergarten teacher that Keira had fainted and was taken to the hospital, and rushed to the ward to see Hope taking care of Keira, Emma Rosy also finally came back from S. After meeting the doctor who checked the room, They of them directly exchanged information about the situation.
“Doctor, have the results of the blood tests come back yet, are the white blood cell levels in a manageable range?”
“I haven’t read her medical records and don’t know the extent of her past treatment, but it doesn’t seem dangerous at the moment.”
“What about respiratory? She suffered from mild asthma as a child, and although she hasn’t had an attack in many years, I’m afraid ……”
“That’s perfectly fine, no need to worry.”
“That’s good.” Emma Rosy breathed a sigh of relief and asked again, “Is her primary care doctor off today?”
“Well, but I’ve contacted him and he’ll be here soon.”
After saying that, the doctor nodded slightly and continued to check the next room with the nurse.
Emma Rosy turned around and was surprised to see Alex Brown standing behind her, “What are you doing here? Why don’t you go see Keira?”
After walking into the room and seeing Hope sitting on the bedside massaging Keira’s arm, Alex Brown said with an apologetic, downcast face, “I’m sorry I didn’t get the call, I almost …… and I’m afraid I wouldn’t have known what to do even if I had rushed to the nursery. ”
Emma Rosy touched Keira’s cheek, sat on the edge of the bed and took over from Hope, before saying lightly, “You can learn if you don’t know how, you’ll have to do all these things from now on.”
Keira lives in the Brown Family, and in case there is an emergency that must be dealt with immediately, he can’t wait for Emma Rosy or Hope to run to help.
Alex Brown understood that Emma Rosy, despite her nonchalant attitude, was truly allowing him to be a part of their lives.
“Yes!” He agreed with gusto, intending to start with the immediate: “I’ll go to the other side for a massage.”
Sitting on the other side of the hospital bed, he kneads Keira’s arm as Emma Rosy had done.
“Although you didn’t care enough for Keira before, it’s not too late to cultivate it from now on, so make sure you work hard and don’t give up halfway.”
It was a surprise to be accepted by Hope, so Alex Brown was willing to seek advice and did not dare to slack off.
After nightfall, Keira finally woke up.
Alex Brown had been in the hospital for half a day and his cell phone kept ringing and eventually he just muted it.
Keira was still a little uncomfortable and suddenly acted like a child, her watery eyes blinking and blinking, insisting that her father stay with her.
“Keira, be a good girl, daddy is busy at work, let him go to …… first.”
Emma Rosy wanted to help, but was interrupted by Alex Brown: “It’s okay, nothing is as important as staying with my little princess, I’ll stay for the night.”
The little one smiled happily and blushed a lot upon hearing this.
Emma Rosy could not do anything about this father and daughter, so she just let them go, but Hope has to go to class tomorrow, and it is too late to go back to rest.
Alex Brown is inexperienced, if Keira has any sudden situation afraid he can not find in time, so Emma Rosy must stay to look after, but let Hope alone home and do not feel at ease, originally wanted to let the driver to come to pick up, Alex Brown has preemptively contacted Eric Chan.
“He’s still working late at the office and will be here in less time so Hope can get back early too.” Alex Brown smiles at Hope with the affection of an elder.
When she first adopted Hope, Emma Rosy was afraid that Alex Brown wouldn’t accept it, thinking that another child would take away from the family’s concern for Keira, but now she’s a little surprised, but more relieved, that he treats Hope like his own child.
As Alex Brown said, Eric Chan arrived at the hospital ten minutes later. Emma Rosy took Hope to the car and watched it go away before walking quickly upstairs.
It was eleven o’clock at night, and the old house was lit up.
When the maid said that Hope had returned, Master Wright was so sleepy that he greeted her with his crutches and was about to ask Keira about her condition when he saw a man with her.
How could Hope be with a strange man in the middle of the night?
Master Wright stopped her in a deep voice and asked sternly, “Who is this? Aren’t you at the hospital with your sister?”
Hope was confused and looked at Eric Chan, who had stepped into the light of the wall lamp: “Uncle Alex’s assistant, don’t you know him, Grandpa?”
Without his presbyopic glasses, Master Wright squinted at Eric Chan for a moment and finally confirmed his identity, but even so, he still reminded Hope uneasily: “Next time you encounter such a situation, call the driver to pick you up.”
Eric Chan was clearly instructed by Alex Brown. Hope tried to explain for him, but saw him smile helplessly and bid farewell to Master Wright.
Looking at his back disappearing into the night, Hope’s heart felt a little uncomfortable, and softly mumbled: “Assistant uncle is very nice ……”
Master Wright did not hear, leaned down and asked her what she was saying: “Great-grandfather is old, you whisper, I can not hear.”
Hope laughed out loud and helped him into the door with her, told her about Keira’s condition, and then planned to go upstairs to pack Keira’s daily necessities.
“Keira will be in the hospital for a while for observation, so I’ll organize her things and have the cook make some soup, and I’ll drop it off on the way before school tomorrow morning.”
Seeing her running upstairs in a hurry, Master Wright was touched and distressed, and quickly urged, “Go to sleep, you don’t have to worry about the kitchen, and let the maids pack up the things.”
Hope, who had already run to the second floor, promised loudly, but listening to her footsteps, she obviously went into Keira’s bedroom.
Master Wright sighed, this child is too understanding, and too delicate, I do not know that the broad-minded people can be more blessed ah ……
Hospital.
The table lamp emits a faint glow, Alex Brown sits on the edge of the bed, holding a children’s book and telling Keira a story, occasionally turning his head to check on Emma Rosy’s condition, seeing her curled up in the sofa asleep, he touches Keira’s head, puts down the storybook and first takes a thin blanket and covers her gently.
Keira had slept too much during the day and was extra energetic at night. Alex Brown had to stay awake and chat with her until the morning sun broke through the clouds and woke up the sleeping city.
Hope was driven home with Keira’s clothes and two thermos buckets full of ribs soup, the lid was just lifted and Emma Rosy, who was dreaming, was attracted by the aroma and opened her eyes.
When Master Wright saw that the person who brought Hope home was Eric Chan, he probably guessed that Emma Rosy and her daughter were not the only ones in the hospital, so he ordered the maid to make more soup. The old man’s soft-spokenness is actually understood by everyone.
Emma Rosy and Keira wash up and sit around the table for breakfast while Hope rushes off to school.
Yesterday Alex Brown was busy taking care of Keira, he muted his phone and took it out to see that it had run out of battery and turned off automatically.
When he charged it, he was greeted by dozens of missed calls from Eric Chan, who called him back and learned that he had made important progress on the design.
Keira was out of danger, she had been chattering all night, and after breakfast she was screaming for bed. Emma Rosy was holding her and coaxing her gently, and she could see that Alex Brown was hesitant to say anything, so she said with amusement, “If you have something to do, go ahead and get busy, you don’t need to sleep with the baby.”
“Then …… I’ll be back as soon as I’m done!”
Alex Brown gratefully replied, and looked at Keira for a moment, before finally leaving quickly.
In the company, Eric Chan had already prepared the evidence related to the traitor, as well as the restored video, although he was not in good spirits after staying up all night, but his mood was quite uplifting.
“Mr. Brown , you actually haven’t given up on restoring the video, how come I didn’t know about it?” He asked with a face full of surprise.
Alex Brown from the beginning to the end has never given up on restoring the video, the previous set up several bureau, are to draw out the person behind the curtain. The reason why he hid it from the public was because the last time Ivy Smith was set up by Marisa Darcyfor this matter, which sounded an alarm in his heart, so he had to operate secretly in order to prevent anyone from doing anything else.
“The identity of the mole is confirmed?” He quickly skimmed through the video and asked casually.
Eric Chan nodded: “Yes, in line with your speculation, the person who bought the staff to steal the design drawings is indeed a senior member of the company and ……”
“Relative to the Brown Family.” Knowing that he was not comfortable saying it, Alex Brown added the full story for him.
In fact, it is not difficult to guess, can persuade his cousin uncle to help, and pinch the cousin uncle’s soft spot so that they do not dare to bite back, must have deep roots in Brown Group, and have something to rely on.
Unfortunately, even if the other party is hidden deeper, as long as they fall into his hands, there is only one way to die.
“I’ll hold a family dinner the day after tomorrow, and then we’ll finish this.”
Eric Chan mourned in his heart for the traitor who was still in the dark and thought he had succeeded in his plan, and then prepared to draw up the invitations with great enthusiasm.
The next day.
The Brown Family held a family dinner, and all the invitees were relatives with other family names.
Fiona Brown called to ask questions about this, and was very upset. Alex Brown gave many excuses, and even asked David Brown to help him out, but he was able to stop Fiona Brown from coming to ask questions.
Although it was a family dinner, all the relatives who worked or held shares in the Brown Group arrived at the villa and found that the banquet hall was not decorated and the table was only decorated with a simple Western meal, which looked rather perfunctory.
All of them were discontented, but they did not dare to take too much liberties in front of Alex Brown, so they could only give him a warning in a cold manner. However, there was one exception.
Bowen Bull, in terms of seniority Alex Brown to call him a third uncle, the company’s shares are small, but the benefits are often above everyone else, which has attracted a lot of opposition.
However, he was so aggressive that they chose to keep their mouths shut and let him get greedy and enrich himself.
The third uncle, who usually disdains Alex Brown and even openly “accidentally revealed” in the media that he is domineering and does not listen to advice well, was uncharacteristically warm to him after the cold shoulder he received today.
“Alex, the company has a lot of things to do recently, you should take care of your health while working hard. Young people, it’s normal to lose in the business once in a while, don’t think too much about it.” Bowen Bull smilingly to Alex Brown to pass on his experience, but unfortunately there is an ulterior motive, but Alex Brown can see through his intention.
Alex Brown smiled and thanked him, and personally got up to pour him a drink: “It’s normal to lose, and frankly I didn’t take it to heart, but there are still lessons to be learned.”
At that, Bowen Bull’s body obviously stiffened, and laughed dryly a few times: “Lessons …… Oh, yeah, next time you should also listen to everyone’s opinion, the relatives will not harm you.”
“Oh?” Alex Brown pretended to be surprised, hands on the back of the chair, leaned down close to him: “What Uncle said, referring to the inexplicable shortage of project money six months ago, or the engineering accident caused by jerry-building some time ago?”
Alex Brown mentioned these two incidents, the contractor was Bowen Bull, and any fool could hear that he was beating around the bush in terms of accountability.
With so many relatives present and as the eldest, Bowen Bull sank his face and slapped his chopsticks on the table, saying coldly, “Alex, what do you mean by that? The project that Uncle handled went wrong, the company has long been investigated, and now you’re bringing up the same thing again, are you still trying to frame me?”
“Framing, or the truth, Uncle should know it very well.”
Alex Brown stood up, walked slowly back to his seat, and took out a heavy information packet amidst Bowen Bull’s scolding voice.
Bang…
The information packet fell on the table, and the crowd watching stopped eating and looked at each other nervously, wondering what the hell was going on here.
“In a few years embezzlement of project money to enrich countless, false public interest in the company to plant cronies, joint board members to steal the design, afterwards threatened the parties concerned, and even put his hands into the detention center and the prosecutor’s office.” Alex Brown snorted, his black eyes like the bottom of a cold, dark lake, chilling the body: “Bowen Bull, are you too capable, or are you too high-minded to know what you’re doing?
At this point, Bowen Bull knew that he could no longer hide what he had done, but he still clenched his teeth and held on.
“I didn’t do it, don’t you dare to slander me!” He shouted, his face red.
Alex Brown raised his arm and gave a high five. Eric Chan, who was waiting outside, then led a group of bodyguards inside and distributed multiple copies of evidence of Bowen Bull’s embezzlement to the crowd as they watched in horror, and projected the restored surveillance video.
“The clerk inside is already under control, why, do I need to bring him here to confront Uncle face to face before I send him to the police station?” Alex Brown lifted his chin towards the burglar who appeared in the surveillance screen and stared at Bowen Bull with an expressionless face.
It’s over, it’s all over ……
Bowen Bull immediately lost his strength and sat down in his chair with wide eyes, looking miserable like a dying fish.
At this point, the rest of the crowd immediately rose up and attacked, and have expressed their willingness to support all the decisions of Alex Brown.
