Chapter 173
On Friday afternoon, in Yoreast Hills Garden of Ocpeace City.
On the tea table in the living room of the villa, there were fresh flowers and vases. Four beautifully dressed women were drinking tea and arranging flowers around the tea table and they seemed very comfortable. The leading lady was dressed in a green silk dress and was the most graceful.
"Madam, there's a phone call for you," the housekeeper said, holding the phone. He carefully interrupted the conversation between the ladies.
Madison put down the teacup and smiled politely. "I'm sorry, you talk first. I'll answer a call."
As soon as she left the living room and saw the caller ID of her mobile phone, Madison's face changed immediately. She was totally different from what she had been like in the living room just now. She took the phone directly from the housekeeper and said, "Madam Scott has already been in the hospital for two weeks but no one told me about it. What are you all doing?"
The person on the other end mumbled, "It's because Madam Scott did a great job of keeping it secret. She didn't want to disturb anyone, so we didn't notice."
"That's enough. Don't explain anymore. Have you found out which hospital and ward she is staying in?"
"She's in Ocpeace City Hospital."
"The city's hospital?" Madison's face suddenly became serious. "A coincidence?"
"I was about to tell you that not only is she in the city hospital, but also... Everleigh was appointed as her attending physician."
"What?"
Madison's face turned livid at once.
That woman was seriously everywhere!
In the afternoon, in the town area of Ocpeace City, Everleigh took a half-day leave from the hospital and drove to the school to attend the two children's sports day.
Since the two children first visited the hospital, they had gone to the hospital as soon as school ended everyday for a week. Everleigh had told them not to many times, but they ignored her every time.
Looking at how Adrienne cheered Helen up everyday, she couldn't bear to let Helen down, so she just let them be.
She had just parked her car at the school gate.
"Everleigh!"
Everleigh looked over and saw Yvonne waving to her from a parking lot not far away.
"Yvonne, why are you here?"
"Hansen's admission procedure has been completed. He was admitted to school yesterday. I'm attending the sports day today."
"Already?"
Everleigh was very surprised.
Last weekend, she went to Yvonne's house to do a routine check-up on Hansen and they chatted. She didn't know what had touched Yvonne that she suddenly wanted to send Hansen to school so that he could live a normal life.
Yvonne explained, "Hansen's father called the Education Bureau."
Sure enough, everything could be achieved with money. Back then, Everleigh had put in a lot of effort into helping the two children register for school, but Yvonne's family had solved the problem with a single phone call.
"By the way, I haven't asked you which class your two children are in. Later, I will tell the principal to arrange for the three children to be in the same class."
"Oh, they are in Class 2C." Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
While they were chatting, Everleigh and Yvonne entered the school together. Everleigh looked at Yvonne who was looking at the facilities of the school seriously. Everleigh couldn't help but say, "Actually, if you are worried, you'd better take it slow and wait a little longer. There is no need to send Hansen to school so soon."
To be put in an unfamiliar place suddenly, adults would have trouble, let alone a child.
"What's the point of waiting? I've been waiting for so many years, but Madison hasn't stopped yet."
At the mention of "Madison", Yvonne's expression instantly turned a bit ugly. "From the time Hansen got a heart attack when he was young until now when he was kidnapped, I realized that it's useless tolerating her. It's better to fight her face to face. I'd like to see what she does to us."
Hearing this, Everleigh frowned and said, "Yvonne, there's something I don't know if I should tell you about."
"Tell me. What can't you tell me?"
Everleigh hesitated for a while before opening her mouth. "Hansen's congenital heart disease might not be something that was caused by human hands."
"How is that possible? Hansen's father and I both don't have this sort of disease. If it wasn't from human interference, what else could it be? The day I gave birth to Hansen... If it wasn't for the fact that I discovered it in time, both Hansen and I would've lost our lives. That woman really does have the heart of a serpent."
Everleigh wanted to say that she had Helen's medical history, but considering that it was the patient's privacy, she had professional ethics and decided to keep it a secret. She didn't say anything in the end.
There were many grievances between Yvonne and Madison. Hansen's matter was just a trigger. However, if Madison had no malice toward Hansen, it would not be a bad thing for Yvonne to take advantage of this opportunity for Hansen to live a normal life.
The sports day was organized according to their grades. All the students and parents of grade 1 were participating in the sports day.
When Everleigh and Yvonne arrived, many students and parents had gathered on the rainbow running track. They were all wearing sportswear and rubbing their palms.
Yvonne said, "Everleigh, I'll pick up Hansen first. He can't participate anyway. I'll pick him up to cheer for you and your children later."
"Okay, I'll see you later. I have to find out where my children are too."
There were too many people and there were no signs. Looking for a person was like looking for a needle in a haystack. Everleigh turned around and did not see any traces of the children.
The sound of a car's engine could be heard suddenly from outside the fence of the playground and it attracted everyone's attention. The noisy sports ground gradually quietened down.
Like everyone else, Everleigh looked out of the sports ground.
At this time, two cars were parked at the entrance of the sports ground. In the front was a black MPV and in the back was a gray sedan car. The first door that opened was of the MPV's. Four men, who looked like bodyguards in black suits and black pants, stood neatly at the entrance of the sports ground.
The crowd behind Everleigh, who had just quietened down, immediately whispered to each other.
Whose parents would put on such a grand show? Was it really necessary?
Everleigh looked at the car and felt that the license plate was a little familiar. She seemed to have seen it somewhere.
Before she could recall, a figure got out of the car. The figure had a dark face and was wearing red- bottom high- heels and a darkgreen dress. In the crook of her arm was a Hermes handbag that could not be bought, even if one had money.
Seeing this figure, Everleigh's expression changed instantly.
Their eyes met and lingered through the air for a long while.
A few seconds later, Mrs. Godfrey walked up to Everleigh. When she looked at Everleigh, the contempt in her eyes was the same as what it was every time they met. She did not change at all. "Why? Are you surprised to see me?"
"Did you come to look for me?" Everleigh clenched her fist and looked at the bodyguards behind her. "Such a big commotion. I don't know how I have offended you."
"I'm not offended, but I'm really surprised." Mrs. Godfrey stared at Everleigh with a straight face and raised her hand in front of everyone all of a sudden.
Slap! A loud sound echoed through the sports ground.
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air and fell silent.
The slap came so suddenly that Everleigh's face tilted to one side. It was not until the burning sensation appeared on her right cheek that she came back to her senses and stared at Mrs. Godfrey incredulously.
Mrs. Godfrey's voice was sharp and harsh, and she said rudely and sarcastically, "As a useless woman who is married and already has two children, you are still using any means to seduce a man. This is a slap to tell you that the Godfrey family is not within your reach!"
The audience burst into an uproar.
