Chapter 151: Chaos
I nodded and sort of said hello to him.
Robert said to me again, “Honey, you go back!”
Obviously they had something to say to each other.
“How can I be relieved when you’re like this, I haven’t heard what the doctor said!” I acted stubborn.
Steven smiled and advised, “Daisy, the family is there, you still go pick up the kids first! You still don’t feel at ease with us? Taking care of the child is the important thing!”
I scanned his family and there really wasn’t a single one left, “Looks like I’m the only one who’s an outsider.”
With a smile, I grabbed my bag and turned straight around and headed out the door.
Emma escorted me to the door in a false sense of humor, “Daisy, take your time! I’ll be here tomorrow too, so you don’t have to come over, it’ll save you from going back and forth.”
“Then it’s been a hard day’s work!” I said, without looking back, and left the hospital.
Back in the car, I called Alice first, “Did Sherry show that video to Robert?”
“I don’t think so, Robert hasn’t been at our place at all in the last two days.” Alice replied to me with great uncertainty.
“You’ll side-step her again and get her to find a time to show it to Robert, and this time it’s sure to get her what she wants!” I then admonished, “And be prepared, Robert will definitely ask you where the photo came from once it’s all over!”
“Don’t worry, Mrs. Brown; I’ve got it all worked out, and it’s all just in time!” Alice said with confidence.
I instructed her a few more times, then hung up and drove away from the hospital, and in the car I called Albert again about Robert’s side of the story, and he said he was aware of it.
This surprised me a little, “How did you know?”
Without answering my question, he hung up and then sent me a connection.
I hurriedly parked the car in a safe spot and clicked on the connection, it was an audio that was a mess, Charlotte’s howling bawling, Daniel’s low growl, and then a yell from Robert, “Shut up all of you, this can’t be happening! … It can’t be!”
“Call Steven, Emma, call Steven quickly.” It was Charlotte’s voice.
The next thing you know there’s the sound of Emma calling Steven, and then she adds, “Oh crap, I just called Daisy!”
“What are you doing calling her?” Charlotte let out a snarl.
The audio continued until Steven arrived and I was talked out of it.
I reacted to the fact that this was the result of Albert putting a bug in Robert’s bag the night before.
Only Steven’s ruthless voice could be heard, “Don’t panic anyone, keep your mouth shut, you can’t let Daisy know about this. Robert think about it, which woman did you catch this from, I warned you about moderation a long time ago.”
“I … I haven’t even looked outside lately for fuck’s sake!” Robert retorted.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
“You? … Hmph!” Steven’s tone was a bit disdainful, “You’d better think about it, find this woman and find out if there’s something fishy behind her.”
My heart tightened, it seemed Steven was indeed cautious.
I hurriedly ended the audio and dialed Scarlette, asking anxiously, “Has the woman you set Robert up with in the first place left yet?”
“You mean the one with the STD?” She asked rhetorically, “Don’t worry, it’s long gone from Newport!”
“That’s good, Robert’s been diagnosed, and now the family’s in a mess at the hospital, but Steven’s being cautious and letting Robert check.”
After hanging up I dialed Albert back. Then went over my plan with Albert, focusing on the mall video of Amelia and her gigolo.
Albert mused for a moment and told me, “I’ll take care of it!” With his words, I was able to go home without worry.
In the evening, Alice sneaks in and calls again, saying that Robert went to their place, but for some reason, drew their blood.
I certainly know it by heart, and it looks like they’re really starting to line it up.
