Five-Year Old Prophet is Pampered by Ten Brothers

Chapter 264 - Sneaking

Chapter 264: Sneaking

“Lauren!”

Suddenly, Lauren Torres heard someone calling her name. She looked up and realized Franklin Torres had come to pick her up.

She quickly ran to Franklin Torres’s side.

“Brother! Why are you here?”

Franklin Torres hugged Lauren Torres and said, “Ben told me about it. The hospital is quite close to the company, so I came to pick you up.”

After saying that, he looked at the other two people in the ward and nodded at them.

“Brother, this is Ruby Cromwell, my good friend from kindergarten.”

Franklin Torres greeted Ruby Cromwell and Carina Bailey.

“Then we’ll make a move now. There are still people waiting for us to eat at home. If there’s anything you need help with here, feel free to let me know.”

Lauren Torres nodded as well. “Yes, Ruby, Miss Bailey, if there’s anything you need help with, I’ll always be available.”

Carina Bailey also stood up and walked over to Lauren Torres’s side to praise her.

“It’s all thanks to Lauren that Ruby was able to come to the hospital in time. Otherwise, who knows how long it would take to discover this.”

“Ruby is my good friend. It’s only right for me to do so. Ruby, I’m going back now.”

On the way back, Lauren Torres told Franklin Torres about what had happened in the ward.

“The police took her mother away?”

“Yes, Brother, why do you think mothers would beat their children? Is it because they are not their biological children?”

What puzzled Lauren Torres the most was if Susan Harding had been beating Ruby Cromwell, then her acting skill was too good.

She was simply a perfectly good mother in the normal days, including just now when she rushed to the hospital. She looked very anxious.

Franklin Torres didn’t know much about it, so he didn’t simply comment.

“There are all kinds of people in the world, but beating children is definitely wrong. What about Ruby’s father? Didn’t her father stop it?”

“I just heard from Ruby that her father hasn’t been home for a long time.”

If it had been a long time since he last came home, he shouldn’t have been dead. It could be a divorce or something.

But if their children were injured and he didn’t even come to visit, probably the parents had some relationship problems.

However, the last time Lauren Torres visited Ruby Cromwell, she saw the photo frames in the living room were full of photos of the three of them. Moreover, Susan Harding did not have a job and was a full-time housewife. Therefore, Ruby Cromwell’s father was definitely responsible for the expenses of Ruby Cromwell’s family.

This meant that her father must still be in contact with them.

“By the way, Lauren, how is the matter with the female ghost? Do you have any clues?”

At the mention of this, Lauren Torres recalled what Pam had told her the previous night.

She truthfully relayed these words to Franklin Torres.

“So right now, I’m thinking about what to say to stop prevent Fiona Karl’s ghost from being trapped by herself.”

Although Bryce Torres had gathered some information about Fiona Karl, she couldn’t verify the information.

However, she could use the information to coax Fiona Karl into telling her what had happened that year.

Therefore, this morning, Lauren Torres and her team of three prepared to set off again.

However, the action of the three of them today was not as successful as it usually was.

This was because they happened to bump into Quinn Torres, who had rushed back from in the early hours of the morning.

There was a gathering in another city over the past two days. Quinn Torres had been invited to the gathering. He rushed back in the early hours of the morning to find his elder brother, younger brother, and younger sister.

Franklin Torres was locking the door quietly. He was very careful, probably because he did not want to make any noise.

Quinn Torres quietly walked over and patted Bryce Torres on the shoulder.

Bryce Torres immediately jumped up high and hid behind Lauren Torres.

“Ghost! Ghost!”

Lauren Torres’s hand had already reached into the pocket dimension when she heard Quinn Torres’s familiar laughter.

“What ghost? It’s me!”

Bryce Torres couldn’t laugh. When he saw that it was really his second brother, he jumped out from behind Lauren Torres and gave Quinn Torres a roundhouse kick.

“Second Brother, you really scared me to death!”

“If you don’t do anything wrong, you won’t be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. What are you doing? What have you done wrong?”

“You’re the one who has done something wrong!”

Suddenly, the lights in the Torres Mansion lit up.

The door that had just been closed by Franklin Torres opened again.

The person who opened the door was Mr. Hayes.

Mr. Hayes did not sleep well due to his age. He would wake up very early in the morning. Furthermore, he had heard some movements today, and he thought the Torres family had been burglarized. When he got up to take a look, he realized that they were the members of the family sneaking at the door.

“Misters and Miss Torres? What are you doing here at four something in the morning?”
