Bobby left with a smile when he saw Valeria come in. Just then, Valeria walked to William and handed the cup to him. “I just squeezed some fresh fruit juice for you. Do you want to have a try?”
William took a few sips of the juice and said, “It tastes great! Come here and let me hug you.”
Valeria sat down on William’s leg while he reached out and touched her belly. “You must be very tired after you went out the whole day, right?”
“I’m not tired! I’m full of energy!”
“Won’t you feel tired because you’re pregnant? But you’re full of energy every day. You didn’t rest today again and you went out to play with Grandma?”
“How dare you place the blame Grandma? I’ll ask her to hit you!”
Valeria laughed as she spoke. “Grandma brought me food, but she didn’t enter the house. She didn’t want to see Grandpa, so I accompanied her out for a walk. That’s all.”
“I think you’ll influence our babies by playing around all day. They’ll definitely be very naughty in the future and my dad will be very busy taking care of them.”
“It’s fine because he’ll be happy. My parents said that we can’t afford to take care of two children at the same time, so they can help us look after one twin.”
“What’s this for? Do you think we can’t afford to raise a child?”
Valeria called William a few names and asked him as well, “Tch! I know you’re rich, Mr. Howard! You’re the almighty CEO! Anyway, what were you talking about with Bobby?”
William did not tell Valeria about Lucian’s car accident before this, so he gave her an update, “Lucian had a car accident and she’s in a very serious condition. She’s been admitted into the ICU ward and I asked Bobby to send someone to investigate the driver that was involved in the accident.”
“Ah? How can it be so serious? Why didn’t you tell me?”
“Why should I tell you about irrelevant people?”
“After all, she is Braelynn’s adopted mother. Although Lucian is unreliable, she’s not a bad person.”
“Don’t worry, I know what you mean. I arranged for a doctor to be in charge of Lucian’s operation on Braelynn’s behalf. Although Lucian was very shameless to replace Braelynn when she was born, Braelynn would have died long ago if she hadn’t done that. She saved Braelynn’s life, so I won’t do anything to her for this reason. Don’t worry.”
Valeria breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this. “I’m relieved! Honey, I talked to Grandma today about Braelynn. I’ve said that blood is thicker than water, but it’s irrelevant with Grandma. She told me directly that she doesn’t like Braelynn! I’m having a headache!”
“Did she actually say that?” William asked.
“There are two reasons. One is that Braelynn looks like Emily. Grandma doesn’t like Emily, so she hates Braelynn as well. The other reason is Angel, who has a crush on Richard. Now that Grandma knows that Braelynn and Richard are together, she hates Braelynn even more.”
“These reasons don’t make any sense! You look like Emily as well, but Grandma ikes you, doesn’t she?”
“Grandma accepted me because of you. I think the main reason why she doesn’t like Braelynn is because of Angel. She treats Angel as her biological granddaughter, so Braelynn and Richard being together is equivalent to robbing Angel of her potential suitor. It’s no wonder that she doesn’t like Braelynn. When the truth is revealed, she will know that Braelynn is the real daughter of the Floyd family. I don’t know what her expression will be at that time. I think it’s better to expose Braelynn’s connection to the Floyd family as soon as possible!”
William nodded. “We can’t rush this matter now. Today, Bobby saw some thugs in the hospital, so Braelynn might be in trouble. Only Ornard and Angel will attack Braelynn now. If this matter is confirmed to be true, the truth about Braelynn and the Floyd family will be delayed. We have to get rid of Ornard and Veronica first as well as cut off their connections so that Braelynn won’t be in danger.”
“Ornard and Angel are too detestable. We have to think of a way to deal with them. We can’t allow them to do as they please.”
“Don’t worry, the plan is already being carried out! You’ll see the result soon.”
Early the next morning, Braelynn got up and rushed to the hospital with Natalie. Lucian was still in the intensive care unit, so Braelynn and Natalie went to ask Lucian’s attending physician about the situation.
The doctor told them that they were currently observing Lucian’s condition. Lucian would be fine as long as could get through this, otherwise, it would be very dangerous.
Braelynn’s heart was heavy when she left the hospital while Natalie had been comforting her along the way.
When the Mad Hatter saw Natalie and Braelynn with their bodyguards in the car, he did not dare to make a move and called Gurmisran. “She went to the hospital with someone today. The people around her seem very rich and powerful. They even brought two bodyguards with them and we had no chance to attack them.”
“Should we wait a little longer?”
“We can’t wait any longer. We have been in the hospital for two days, which will arouse suspicion. For the sake of safety, I think we should change our course of action. We can’t do it in the hospital, so we’ll follow them and find a chance to make our move.”
“Okay, but you have to pay attention to your safety. This girl is good at martial arts, and all the people around her are not ordinary. It will be troublesome if you can’t escape after attacking her.” Gurmisran warned.
“We’ll know what to do, so don’t worry!”
Braelynn and Natalie left the hospital and headed towards the company while Mad Hatter drove after them. Silas, who was on patrol, held the steering wheel with one hand and called William with the other. “It has been confirmed that Mad Hatter is following Braelynn. He’s a fierce man. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, please let me make the first move!”
“Alright!”
“Please tell Braelynn to come down and act as bait. This will create an opening for me to take action.”
“Okay, but you have to be careful! Both you and Braelynn can’t make any mistakes!” William warned.
“It’ll be alright. Men like the Mad Hatter are completely irrelevant to me, so you can just wait for my good news!”
William hung up the phone and called Braelynn. “Someone followed you from the hospital to the company and I’ve arranged for Silas to come over. That person is now opposite your company, so you have to act as bait.”
“Okay! Do you know who is following me?”
“He’s said to be a reputable and vicious hitman.” William smiled. “But you don’t have to worry because Silas will be with you. Nothing will happen to you.”
“I’m not worried! I’ll get down right now.”
Braelynn hung up the phone and looked at Natalie. “Auntie, I need to go out for a while. My brother asked me to go out to do something.”
Natalie did not think much about it and said, “Alright.”
Braelynn strode straight to the elevator and glanced diagonally at the opposite side when she walked out of the company. While the Mad Hatter was smoking in the car, his underling suddenly said, “Hey, the target is out and she’s alone!”
