Chapter 109 Sensed a Clue
The two of them exchanged glances, not expecting that Joe had stopped them just to ask such a question.
“I just thought that their features and contours resemble
yours a bit, Mr. Smith…” one of the women answered
cautiously.
Joe’s face remained hidden in the darkness, making it hard to discern his expression.
Seizing the opportunity, the two women hurriedly left.
After standing quietly in place for a while, Joe took out his
phone and called his assistant Jack, “Get in touch with Mr.
Walker. I want all the medical records of the child who was
admitted today.”
At that moment, Charlotte was anxiously waiting outside the
operating room for Ben’s surgery to finish. Mrs. Lucky Johnson and David had also arrived, accompanied by Danny.
Upon seeing Danny, Anna immediately glared at him fiercely. “The culprit!”
Mrs. Lucky Johnson frowned slightly and spoke gently to Anna,
“Anna, you’ve misunderstood Danny. He said he originally
intended to catch Ben, but he accidentally fell off himself. It’s
all a misunderstanding.”
“It’s not true!” Anna angrily shouted, “Danny pushed him!”
At this moment, Danny stepped forward, appearing quite. helpless. “Anna, you’ve really got it wrong… I…”
“The operation is over.””
Just then, Charlotte spoke up, her gaze fixed on the operating
room doors.
A pale-looking Ben was wheeled out.
“His surgery was successful. You need to take good care of
him in the next two months, and we need to observe him in
the hospital for a few days.” The doctor spoke solemnly to
Charlotte.
Charlotte nodded.
Just before she was about to enter the ward with Ben, she
suddenly turned her head and looked deeply at Danny. “That
corner is under surveillance. We’ll soon find out the exact
situation.”
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Lucky Johnson furrowed her brows,
preparing to speak, but David gently held her back, subtly shaking his head.
Danny was, after all, just a child, and his face changed
immediately.
Subconsciously, he scanned his surroundings but didn’t find the figure he was looking for.
“I…” Danny stood in place, stuttering for a while before bursting into tears. “I just heard they’re Dad’s children! Why do they get to be liked by everyone while I can’t?”
His crying escalated with his excitement, and he fainted
without catching his breath.
Mrs. Lucky Johnson and David were shocked, rushing forward
to hold him.
“Look at this…” Mrs. Lucky Johnson, feeling sorry for Danny’s suffering, looked disapprovingly at Charlotte. “If you hadn’t
caused that scene back then, this child wouldn’t have
misunderstood. It’s not entirely his fault either.”
Charlotte calmly looked at Mrs. Lucky Johnson. “Even if he
misunderstood, not all children resort to violence. Are you
implying that Ben has suffered for nothing?”
Mrs. Lucky Johnson avoided her gaze, saying in a resentful
tone, “Given the circumstances now, we can’t possibly let this child go to jail, can we? There’s the law protecting minors.”
David’s face darkened. “Mom, what are you talking about?”
Only then did Mrs. Lucky Johnson ease her expression, turning to Charlotte. “Given the situation, we’ll have Danny apologize to Ben, and we’ll cover all the medical expenses.”
“Mom!” David looked at his mother in disbelief. However, Mrs.
Lucky Johnson continued with a meaningful tone, “You and
David will eventually become a family. The squabbles between
the children shouldn’t be blown out of proportion, should
they?”
While she also felt sorry for Ben and Anna, Danny was her
own grandson after all, and he had gone through quite a bit these years. As Danny mentioned, Ben and Anna had already enjoyed their fair share of affection these past years. So, what
was the harm in giving in now?
With Mrs. Lucky Johnson’s words, David’s heart skipped a
beat.
