Chapter 145: The Mayor’s enthusiasm
“I have already explained down, will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly, strictly investigate the murderer, will not let the murderer get away with it. In addition, the hospital has set up a team of experts, I believe that Miss Elena will be fine.” Mayor Warren comforted Rebecca.
“God doesn’t even have eyes, my daughter is already hard enough to live, yet she has to be tortured like this ……” Rebecca cried.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
“No, don’t worry, your daughter will be fine.” Mayor Warren looked at Fred’s father and son who were guarding the hospital room, and felt even more guilty.
At this time Gary came back with take-out, and seeing that only his wife and the mayor had not seen Carole, he asked, “Honey, where’s Carole?”
“Carole, Carole, do you still can’t forget her in your heart, that woman, has gone, I told you earlier, she doesn’t have Elena in her heart at all, yet you call or call her over.” As soon as her husband came back, he mentioned Carole, which made Rebecca very upset.
“What are your words, no matter how to say, she is also Elena’s real mother, no matter how she is not, we can not erase her October pregnancy suffering, you say this if Elena heard how sad it should be.” Gary said angrily.
“It would have been ……” Rebecca wanted to retort to her husband, but she didn’t expect the mayor to speak up again at this point.
“Mr. Gary, at the risk of asking, isn’t Miss Elena your biological daughter?”
“Well, back then a friend of mine gave birth to Elena and gave her to us, after that we adopted Elena as a couple, although she is not our biological one, but we are not less affectionate to her than our biological child.” Gary didn’t know why the mayor was asking, but out of courtesy, he answered anyway.
“What about her father?” The mayor added.
“My friend never said, we never asked, and in our couple’s minds, Elena is our daughter.” Gary frowned slightly and couldn’t help but wonder, this mayor is really ‘nosy’, this is considered his family business, why is the mayor asking this?
“Honey, I just asked her, even she herself doesn’t know who that man is?” Rebecca suddenly said at that moment.
“What?” Gary and Rebecca argued again, but the mayor didn’t ask any more questions, just looked through the glass wall at the ward, and after looking for a while, he left.
The mayor did not leave, but changed into the isolation suit into the ward.
“Mr. Fred, you go out to rest, you are here, it does not help Miss Elena’s injury, but there is a possibility that it will affect her recovery.” The mayor lightly patted Fred’s shoulder.
Just now the doctor told him that Fred, father and son, had been here since noon, and refused to leave no matter how they were told, although they wore isolation suits, but there would still be an effect. Too much time is not good for the patient.
“Grandpa Mayor, is Mommy going to wake up?” At that moment, Jeffery, however, suddenly looked up and asked the mayor.
“Yes, it will, how could Mommy leave you two lovely babies behind?” The mayor said and actually picked up Jeffery in his arms.
“Well, Mommy said that she would spend our fifth birthday with Daddy.” Jeffery nodded his head and looked expectantly at his mommy on the bed
“Mommy, you must wake up soon, me and my brother’s birthday is coming up, you promised me, no scalping.” Jack suddenly leaned over and leaned next to Elena’s ear.
Fred was persuaded to come out, but he refused to leave the hospital, the two children were also going to stay here, and then was Gary, Rebecca forced to take back.
The doctor was worried that Fred’s body would not hold up in this way for a long time, so he temporarily added a bed outside so that he could rest.
The days of waiting, every day is expectation, every day is full of expectation, but every day is like hell, every day in front of the ghost gate watch, wandering.
A week had passed, and Fred was no longer the same Mr. Fred, as six years ago, when he and Elena first met, although he was not as unkempt, but more haggard.
The Costa family and Albert tried to persuade him again and again, but he didn’t listen to them. When the two children came crying, he just barely ate something and stayed outside the hospital room every day, refusing to leave, not even the company.
Although Aaron was in charge of the company, many documents and contracts needed his signature. Every time Aaron came over with the documents, he didn’t even look at them, he just picked up the pen and signed them.
Elena had been sleeping for a week, and although her wounds were slowly recovering, she did not show any signs of waking up. The doctors looked at Fred outside the ward and tried several times to persuade him to give up the treatment, but whenever Fred looked up at them, they didn’t have the courage to bring it up.
The hospital had no choice but to call the mayor’s office, but the mayor’s intention was to continue the treatment and not to give up until the last moment, regardless of whether she could wake up or not.
In the mayor’s office
“Dad, what do you want to see me? I have a lot of things to do in my company?” Paul is Mayor Warren’s only son, and after he came back from studying abroad two years ago, he founded his own technology company, which is not very big yet but is doing quite well.
Normally, he would not come to the city office building, outside, he also never claimed to have a mayor father. Probably because he has been abroad for a long time, he is not only unhappy about having an official dad, but also looks like he is avoiding it, as if he is afraid that others will say that he relies on his father’s relationship.
“Paul, Dad has something that he needs you to do.” Mayor Warren looked at his watch and walked over to close the door to his office. At this time, it was the noon break, and looking at his son, he seemed a little hesitant.
“Dad, what can’t we talk about at home, but in your office?” Paul frowned tightly and said.
“Paul, some things are not convenient to say at home, and ……” the mayor said suddenly stopped, looking at his son’s face, half a day without speaking.
“Dad, please, just say what you have to say, I have a lunch date with a client, only forty minutes left.” Paul looked at his watch and said with some impatience.
“Okay, Dad needs you to go see someone at the hospital.” The mayor took a deep breath before saying.
“It’s not the woman that was hit by your car, is it?” Paul’s eyebrows are knotted, puzzled looking at the mayor’s father, not just hit a person, and even if there is a fault, it is the responsibility of the driver, why does Dad look guilty.
“Yes, you take the time to go to the hospital this afternoon, by the way ……” the mayor looked at his son, seems to have a difficult to say.
“No problem, on this matter, you still have to me to run a trip, a phone call is not OK, well, Dad, I still have things to do, first go.” Paul did not wait for his dad to continue, then turned around and said.
“Wait, you take the time to do a DNA test with her.” The mayor called out to his son, looking nervous.
“What?” Paul turned around in shock and pinched his ears, thinking he had misheard.
The mayor was a little uncomfortable and said, “Go get a DNA test, but be careful not to let her family know.”
“Dad, what are you up to? The person you ran over is not your illegitimate daughter, right?” Paul’s handsome face was tense, if that was the case, then it was understandable why Dad always ran to the hospital, but it should not be so, Dad, Mom’s relationship was so good, Dad would still betray Mom?
If that’s the case, but the style problem, although for ordinary men, always have an affair, there is a mistress is nothing, but this thing if spread to his father, that is the style problem. The light is the party disciplinary action, the heavy is the loss of official dismissal, not a small problem.
“Probably not, you go to do an appraisal can not waste much of your time.” The mayor’s face is slightly red, not daring to look his son in the eye.
“Dad, an appraisal is not much time wasted, but this is a big deal for you? Not only your job, but also Mom’s, how are you going to explain?” Seeing his dad’s silence, he added, “Dad, that woman has approached you?”
The mayor shook his head.
“If she didn’t come to you, why did you make this identification? Or do you want a daughter?” If you really want a daughter, the big deal is to recognize a goddaughter, and if not, I’ll marry a woman back home, and then you can treat her as a daughter, why do you have to do this identification?”
The mayor also frowned, unhappy glared at his son and said, “That’s not what happened, the child, I’m afraid she will not live, I just want to understand.”
Paul was relieved to hear that and advised his dad, “That’s better, if she really is dead, then even if there is such a thing, there is no proof of death, you just pretend not to know anything.”
“What do you know, if the child is well, so be it, but as far as I know, her mother abandoned her after giving birth to her, and now although she married, her real mother has come back to haunt her, and if it is true, I hope to have the opportunity to make it up to her.” The mayor blushed and said seriously.
These days, he asked someone to investigate all the relevant information about Elena, including Fred’s of course, although the surname Ling’s character is good, but it does aggravate Elena.
If it was really his daughter, he would definitely do right by her. Will definitely compensate her properly. Consider it as taking the consequences for the mistake you made back then, for your own absurdity back then.
“That’s for sure, not many illegitimate daughters can live well, dad, I’m not averse to having more than one sister, but if ……”
The mayor interrupted his son and said, “If that’s true, she should be older than you, and you should call her sister.”
“No? Dad, you ……”
Look at his son’s ambiguous look, the mayor’s old face reddened and said, “It’s not what you think, before your mother and I got married that year, my Friends, had to say to celebrate, and then that day we drank a little too much, there was a little accident, the next morning I woke up, there was a woman next to me, at that time I was terrified … …”
