Chapter 15: Cindy is missing
Eric stopped in his tracks, followed by the assistant-like person with the thermos lunchbox in his hand, panting behind him.
After the meeting, he found that his heart uncontrollably thought of Cindy in the hospital.
The way she had righteously crashed into the car and the fact that she couldn’t get pregnant actually made him feel a little guilty, so he sent someone to buy some supplements and bring them over.
“You’re a scumbag, Eric!”
Noman’s eyes were burning with anger, and he rushed forward in a few steps, and the next second, his fist smashed directly into Eric’s face, “What the hell do you want before you let her go? Are you still a man if you treat a woman like that!”
The pain was so hot that Eric instantly woke up, seeing Noman approaching again, he didn’t hesitate to raise his fist and hit back.
The struggle between the two men was instant, and the assistant on the side was completely dumbfounded, not to mention the entire inpatient unit.
“help! help!” Someone screamed.
The noise outside the door caused Cindy’s eyebrows to waver as she paddled her wheelchair from the windowsill and turned around.
This time, someone else called her name from the doorway, “Miss Scott, come out, there’s a fight at the door for you.”
Cindy’s hand holding the wheelchair tightened, and then she heard Noman’s tirade.
“Cindy is really blind, how could she see such a scum like you!”
Noman cursed as he did so.
Before Noman came down with another fist, Eric directly snapped his fist, his voice cold, “What about you? You can’t even solve your own mother, and what can you do to protect her?”
Time stood still at this moment; Noman even choked.
No one noticed that the door of the room, which had been closed tightly, opened a crack at some point, and a figure left quietly and unnoticed.
Ten minutes later, the inpatient department received a phone call and the nurse’s face immediately changed, “What? Miss Scott has been discharged?”
“What?” Noman heard the words, loosened his grip on Eric’s lapel, turned back, and barged into the ward, which was indeed empty.
He glanced at Eric, the man’s eyebrows were as cold as ever, even after hearing about Cindy’s discharge, he was still unperturbed, only his face was a bit sullener.
Noman crossed Eric’s body and went to the nurse and grabbed the phone, “Where did she go?”
The person on the other side of the microphone only felt baffled, “This … is not clear, you can call the patient.”
She then hung up the phone directly.
Make a phone call?
Cindy was so determined not to talk to him that she wouldn’t even let him in the door, would she answer his phone?
“Eric, I’m warning you, if anything happens to Cindy again, I’ll fight you Eric to the end, regardless of everything the Jones family has!” Noman raised two fingers in warning, then went to the elevator to press the button.
“Mr. Miller … does this … need to deal with your injury?”
The special assistant looked at Eric’s slightly red and swollen side, with blood still seeping from the corner of his mouth.
“I’m fine.” Eric raised his hand and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
When Noman got into the elevator and the doors closed, he said after a long moment of contemplation, “She can’t have gone far.”
Indeed, Eric was right; with the Scott family’s load of debts and loan sharks, Cindy wasn’t going anywhere.
After leaving the hospital, frequent debt collection messages appeared on her cell phone, and the accounts added up to as much as ten million dollars.
