Chapter 79 – A local earthquake in B City
Then, with some urgency, Cliff Ford said, “Where is my friend now?”
“The ward downstairs, you come with me.” The doctor led the way and the two entered the ward.
When he saw the person lying still on the bed, wrapped as if a mummy, Cliff Ford’s eyes were red and he rushed straight up, “Carter!”
If Carter’s eyes weren’t still exposed, he wouldn’t believe this man was Carter!
Luckily … is lucky that Carter is okay!
“He needs to rest, keep your voice down!” Doctors hate this kind of noisy patient’s family.
Cliff Ford wiped the corner of his eyes and sat quietly by the hospital bed, looking at the still-frowning man in his coma.
As far as he could remember, he had never seen Carter in such a state of disarray!
No, five years ago when I heard about my sister-in-law’s plane crash, Carter was in much more of a mess than he is now!
“Mr. Ford, please go and pay the operation fee now. Also, your friend doesn’t have any documents on him, we can’t confirm his identity, you need to add his information.” The doctor said.
Cliff Ford finished all the paperwork and told the doctor, “I need your hospital to keep Carter’s accident a secret.”
Carter as President of The Carter Group, his car accident would have had a big impact on The Carter Group stock price!
“Okay.” The doctor took out a bloodstained cell phone and handed it to him, “This is Master Carter’s cell phone. He was calling his wife while he was in a coma, but she never answered. Then we tried to contact his wife at the hospital and couldn’t get through, so we called you.”
He had never seen a person, unconscious still clutching the phone so tightly, they took a lot of effort to break his hand!
…
the Mark Family.
“Damn, local earthquake in B city, everywhere is fine, only the airport has a problem! Tess, your luck value is really unbelievable!” Linda Mark looked at the news on her phone page and sighed.
But she’s glad so Tess and the little bastard can stay with her!
Tess Baker was inconsolable, “Baby, can you stop sounding so gloating? I already feel awful!”
“I am also very bad.” The little one puffed out his cheeks, with an unhappy face, “This makes me look like a crow’s nest, I’m really angry!”
“Hahahahaha … you were already a crow’s nest!” Linda Mark rubbed the little guy’s head and turned his hair into a bird’s nest.
Tess Baker ignored the two’s antics and stared blankly at her phone.
After a heart-to-heart battle, she released Bowen Carter’s cell phone number from her blacklist.
He had called her so many times, he couldn’t have been in any kind of hurry, could he?
But what emergency could he have for her? It must be to call and order her back!
She just still felt a little panicky, should she call him back?
“Tess … Tess? Tess!!!”
It took a loud yell in her ear for Tess Baker to come back to her senses and ask in a frozen voice, “What’s wrong, baby?”
“I asked you if you wanted breakfast! What are you looking at, so engrossed?” Linda Mark grabbed her phone, “You’ve been looking at Bowen Carter’s number? Trying to call him?”
Hearing this, the little one tilted his head and stared straight at his mommy.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
Mommy promised him not to make up with his scum daddy!
“No. He’s been calling me a lot today and I was just wondering if it was an emergency that he was looking for me.” Tess Baker snatched up the phone with some trepidation.
“What’s the emergency he wants to see you about? Even if there is an emergency, he wants to stop you from getting on the plane,” Linda Mark shrugged indifferently, “Relax, he is such a big shot, if something really happens, the media will definitely be the first to report it!
This is a reasonable statement, and Tess Baker has nothing to refute.
However, there was always something uncomfortable in her mind, and it felt like something bad had happened.
She looked at her phone and the text message alerted her that Bowen Carter had left a message for her, should she listen?
“Come on, stop thinking about it and go eat!” Linda Mark tugged at her and complained, “You’re usually a pretty neat and tidy person, why do you dilly-dally and procrastinate whenever it comes to Bowen Carter?”
“Humph!” The little one followed behind the two with his hands behind his back, grunting in dissatisfaction.
After dinner, the little guy felt that life was too boring and asked Linda Mark to take him to register for the Go tournament.
Tess Baker, on the other hand, went back to the office to deal with out matters.
“Good morning Boss Baker!” The front desk girl is always as excited as the chicken blood, squeezing her eyebrows and saying, “Yesterday your boyfriend gave you such a big handful of roses, the office sisters are envious of it!”
Boss Baker is beautiful and capable, and his boyfriend is a rich and handsome, a real winner in life!
Hearing her talk about Bowen Carter, Tess Baker had a moment of bewilderment and a little more uneasiness in her heart.
She returned to her office and sat in her leather chair looking at the missed calls on her phone, her round, good-looking fingers unconsciously hovering above Bowen Carter’s name.
But when she was about to touch the name, she jerked her fingers back and threw the phone on the table.
“I’m so mad!” Tess Baker covered her face with her hands and let out a few heavy breaths before picking up her papers and trying to distract her with her work.
But when she saw Aron Blair’s strong handwriting on the document, she thought of Bowen Carter again.
She just made a casual remark and Bowen Carter took it to heart and made a special trip to have Aron Blair come to the office to help her … After the reunion, he did treat her well.
“But he’s just using me as a stand-in, isn’t he …”
Her heart stung when she thought of him learning to cook for Wendy Summer, but she had known him for eight years before she knew he could cook.
In the end, she’s just a stand-in for Wendy Summer!
“Don’t think about it don’t think about it don’t think about it!” Tess Baker flipped through the papers in annoyance, but couldn’t read a single word.
Bowen Carter left her a message on her voicemail saying what?
He has stopped calling her now, has he given up on letting her go back to Beauty Garden?
Tess Baker’s mind almost exploded when she thought about it, so she left the office and went to the registration site of the Go Tournament. She didn’t expect to encounter Linda Mark arguing with the staff at the site…
“Sorry Miss, your son is too young and does not meet the age of participation. Please make way, the person behind you still has to register!”
“Reasonably, on your flyer, there is no age limit for participants, right?”
“There is no age limit on our flyer, but your son is too young, isn’t that messing up?”
“Make a mess! My son is young, but my son has high ability! You can’t just look at people on the outside, do you understand?”
Linda Mark and several staff members were arguing so much that the decibels were increasing on both sides.
The little guy is playing Sudoku with his headphones plugged in, like nobody’s business. It’s an absolute waste of time to argue with these people!
Tess Baker walked over and said with a smile, “We don’t mean to add to the mess, my son’s ability is really there.”
