Chapter199Â
“She really needs to change for the better. This time she almostÂ
killed me with a knife. Who knows what she might do nextÂ
time, maybe just randomly stab someone. Don’t you think so?”Â
Finley’s back teeth were almost crushed, “It’s time to payÂ
attention.””Â
He was almost bursting with anger, Adelaide just sneered, “AndÂ
thanks to Dad for finally finding my uncle after all the trouble.”Â
She bit really hard on this sentence.Â
Finley was still pretending to be kind, “Do you guys need Dad toÂ
arrange a private room for dinner, so you can have a familyÂ
reunion?”Â
“No, I’ll go reunite with him myself.”Â
He wanted to dress up, and Adelaide agreed to act with him.Â
She wanted to see how long Finley planned to play this filialÂ
piety act.Â
“You better contact the Correctional Facility quickly, I’mÂ
leaving now,” Adelaide said, then grabbed Reginald’s sleeve andÂ
they walked out of the ward.Â
Chapter199Â
Inside, Amanda was crying uncontrollably, saying don’t go.Â
But they had already taken the elevator down.Â
Adelaide’s mind was a mess, but you couldn’t tell from herÂ
expression. After a moment in the elevator, she finally spoke:Â
“Mr. Thorton, can you give me Franklin?”Â
Reginald asked, “Do an appraisal?”Â
Adelaide nodded.Â
“Let’s just do it right here,” said Reginald. And as soon as heÂ
finished speaking, Nathan was already calling the people below.Â
A few minutes later, the blood–drawing area opened a greenÂ
channel. Adelaide and Franklin both had a few tubes of bloodÂ
drawn at the same time.Â
Franklin was beaten so badly that even his parents could hardlyÂ
recognize him.Â
When I saw Reginald, my legs were shaking like crazy.Â
I was lying on the ground, shouting, “I’m dying, I’m dying,Â
doctor, help me!”Â
He didn’t want to be dragged down and beaten up again.Â
Intuition told Adelaide that she might actually be related to thisÂ
Chapter199Â
person. And he was like a very dangerous time bomb.Â
“I’ll take care of the hospital admission procedures for you,” sheÂ
said. As soon as she spoke, Franklin’s cry abruptly stopped, but he still held his bruised and swollen face.Â
Mumbling in his mouth: “Still got a little conscience.”Â
Reginald was about to ask Nathan to take the people downstairsÂ
for a meal again, but Adelaide was quick to act and pulled himÂ
out quickly.Â
“Alright, are you going to drag me back to Rosecliff Manor?”Â
Reginald said irritably.Â
“I have to wait for you to finish the IV drip and have dinnerÂ
before going back,” Adelaide said kindly.Â
Reginald changed the subject: “I’ll take care of that person forÂ
you, what are you afraid of.”Â
Adelaide denied, “I didn’t.””Â
Reginald told her, “Adelaide, even if he is really your relative,Â
you can’t have anything to do with this kind of person,Â
understand?”Â
“I get it,” Adelaide confessed, “Before, Finley deliberately keptÂ
me from reuniting with my family, but now he intentionallyÂ
brought Franklin here at this critical moment. It’s hard not toÂ
Chapter199Â
think that he has ulterior motives. So I just wanted to figure outÂ
what he did to interfere with my search for relatives.”Â
Reginald wasn’t very satisfied with this explanation.Â
“Mr. Thorton, you helped me again,” Adelaide smoothlyÂ
changed the subject, with a smile on her lips.Â
In Reginald’s eyes, he only noticed the swollen handprint onÂ
Adelaide’s face, which really pissed him off.Â
That person was really asking for it.Â
Reginald didn’t say anything, he just held her hand and led herÂ
back to the ward.Â
Adelaide hurriedly said, “Um…“.Â
“I had Nathan arrange a hospital room for him, and hadÂ
someone watch him 24 hours a day.“”Â
