BXBX NOVEL Chapter 330 - Hospital
"About the child\'s mother and father, I don\'t know anything about them, sir," he added.
"Ah, damn Edward!!"
"Find out immediately who the real woman he was with was. Also, find out if she was previously related to the Smiths?" he added again.
"Okay, sir," replied Marlin, then he said goodbye and left.
Edrick rubbed his face roughly. "What exactly are they planning? Why is Miss Claire\'s son with them?" muttered Edrick in frustration.
"No wonder Edward lied to me," he added.
"No, this can\'t be allowed," he immediately got up from his position, walked out of the room to his father\'s room to report everything to his father.
Just as Edrick was about to knock on the door, Mr. Javier also appeared there, almost startling him.
"What is it?" asked Mr. Javier with a questioning look.
"Daddy, this is complicated. This is about Edward, it seems he has bad intentions towards the Smith family," said Edrick directly without further ado.
"Huh? what do you mean? Come in first," replied Mr. Javier then went back into his room.
"I\'ve confirmed everything with Marlin, Dad. Marlin didn\'t lie to me, Edward and the woman hid the boy\'s whereabouts. They both lied to us, Daddy," explained Edrick, that man walking into the room, his face very worried and unsettled.
"Huh? Is what you said true? But, in Edward\'s apartment earlier, I didn\'t see anyone else but the two of them."
"There are more important things than that, Dad. The boy turned out to be Dave. The son of Miss Claire, the grandson of Mr. Aaron Smith. The boy we met at the cafe when we were still in Indonesia. is that it, Dad?" said Edrick.
"What?! How could that be? I mean..."
"And you saw their behavior earlier, Daddy. It is certain, that they are hiding Dave\'s whereabouts," said Edrick interrupting his father\'s words.
"I\'ve had a bad feeling since earlier," he added.
Mr. Javier\'s jaw tightened, he looked angry and worried at the same time. "This can\'t be happening, I just made peace with Mr. X, why is Edward throwing tantrums to that family again?"
"We have to return the boy to the Smith family. I don\'t know what was in Edward\'s mind, why would that man do something like this? His actions will cost us all," he added, massaging his temples which suddenly throbbed in pain.
Imagining his efforts, strength, and all his wealth destroyed, it felt like he would rather die than have to go through it all.
Dizziness suddenly hit his head, various kinds of thoughts filled his head, his breathing sounded faster and faster.
"Daddy..." called Edrick when he saw his father\'s face turned pale.
"Daddy? Are you okay? You\'d better rest in bed, Dad," he added, then walked over to Mr. Javier, wanting to help him walk to the bed.
However...
Bruck!!!
Suddenly Mr. Javier fell to the floor, the old man fainted, making Edrick panic and even more confused.
They had just left the hospital. And it looks like he will bring his father back to that place again.
Immediately Edrick asked the Maids for help.
It was night, the cold air pierced the bones. Mr. Javier was taken to the hospital again.
"Hello, Brian," said Edrick first. He is currently in the corridor of the hospital. Waiting for the doctor to finish checking his father\'s condition.
"What is it?"
"Dad passed out, and now I\'m taking him to the hospital again."
"Huh? How could that be? Shouldn\'t Daddy have been allowed to go home today?" Brian asked over the phone.
"That\'s true. But Edward throws a tantrum and makes Daddy\'s condition worse," replied Edrick.
"Edward? What is he doing? I thought he was in Indonesia."
"That\'s right, stop talking about it. Now there\'s something more important than that. You have to do something, Brian. This is for the good of our family," said Edrick.
"Tell me."
"You must go to Edward\'s apartment and rescue Miss Claire Smith\'s son. Edward has been in Australia for the past few days, and it seems he has bad intentions towards that family. You know, Daddy gave orders not to disturb the Smiths again," said Edrick at length.
"Huh? Miss Claire\'s son?" Brian looked surprised to hear his adopted brother\'s words.
"Right. I hope Edward doesn\'t do anything bad to the kid."
Brian was silent, did not reply to Edrick\'s words.
"Did you hear me? You know this is very important, right? I\'m going to call Edward to come here. During that time, you sneaked into his apartment. I\'ll send you a message with his address, as well as his apartment door key password."
"You\'ve got to move quickly. Hopefully, Mr. Aaron Smith hasn\'t realized that Edward kidnapped his grandson. If that happens, we\'re all in big trouble, Brian," he added, his voice sounding worried.
There was a sigh from the other end of the phone, "Okay, send me the address, I\'ll do everything you say," Brian finally said.
"Okay, great. Remember, you have to be careful, Brian. Don\'t fail, it\'s all for the good of us all. I\'ll try to keep Edward here a little longer. I\'m sure he won\'t take the boy anywhere," replied Edrick.
"Erm... then..call him now, I\'ll get ready too," said Brian.
"All right," said Edrick.
Simultaneously, the doctor came out of the room where Mr. Javier was being treated.
"Where\'s the patient\'s family?" asked the doctor.
"I am his family, Doc. I am his son. What\'s wrong?. How is my father\'s condition?" asked Edrick immediately approaching the doctor.
"The patient had a mild heart attack. He should be hospitalized here for a few days."
"Then how\'s the condition, Doc?"
"For now, he\'s fine. Don\'t worry, sir."
"For now? What do you mean? Will the same thing happen another time?" asked Edrick.
"That\'s right, sir. I can only advise you on how to minimize this from happening. As his son, you must be good at guarding your father\'s feelings, sir. Don\'t say anything that will make things worse. The patient\'s feelings are very influential for his recovery," explained the doctor at length.
Hearing that, Edrick felt guilty. That means, he is the cause of his father\'s condition like this.
If he had known about this beforehand, he would have kept everything a secret and said nothing to his father.
