Chapter 392 : Patience Waiting
The report was about a case of a sick child who received a cochlear implant last year and suddenly developed complications after leaving B. As a result, Hui Ai was contacted but delayed in giving a reply, and pushed that the hospital had not been contacted to treat the sick child.
Lindsey clicked on the news picture and took a closer look at the photo of the sick child, her eyebrows instantly knitted into a deep Chuan character.
She had never seen the child’s face, and there was no record of the child’s medical treatment in the fund’s announcement.
“What’s wrong, you look so ugly?” Larissa did not know the content of the phone call, and when she saw that her face was not right, she asked with concern, “Is it because you are not feeling well?”
“It’s okay, let’s talk outside.” Lindsey put away the phone, gently touched the face of the sick child beside her and greeted her as she left the ward.
Coming into the corridor, she found the news report she had just read and pointed to the picture of the sick child and asked. “The other side said the operation was funded by our Hui Ai, you confirm, have you seen this child.”
Larissa took the phone suspiciously, looked at it carefully, and shook her head with certainty. “Absolutely not, every child receiving financial support from Hui Ai has a Hui Ai health bracelet on his wrist, he doesn’t have one, and the hospital is not the one we designated.”
Lindsey was a little less reassured. “Are you sure?”
Larissa nodded heavily, of course she was sure, because she was the last to confirm every case of a child who needed support. If she hadn’t seen them, she hadn’t seen them. There was no such thing as having seen them and forgetting them.
Lindsey gradually calmed down and once again read the report carefully from beginning to end.
The hospital that cooperated with Hui Ai, one is the Third Hospital, one is Fu Wai, in addition there is also a cardiothoracic hospital in other cities, no matter which one is definitely not the one in the photo.
After waiting for about half an hour, Karen arrived at the hospital and told the reporters that the fund office was blocked by reporters and asked Lindsey what to do.
“There’s no rush, I’ll take care of this right away. For both of your personal safety, let’s leave the hospital now and go to Edward’s.” Lindsey is fast and furious and immediately greets them downstairs.
The car arrived at Wind Entertainment and the three of them went directly to the top floor.
Lindsey’s office remained the same. Edward came back from a meeting and was surprised to see the three of them appearing at the same time, asking, “What kind of wind is blowing today that brought the three beauties here.”
“Yin wind.” Lindsey replied, greeted his secretary to pour tea.
Edward has not seen Lindsey reveal such an expression for a long time, although curious, but also sagely did not continue to inquire.
Lindsey took out the laptop she had with her, turned it on, and then checked with Karen to see if she had seen the sick child or not.
Karen’s story was the same as Larissa’s. All the sick children sponsored by Hui Ai were wearing health bracelets after they were discharged from the hospital. And Hui Ai will return to visit once every three months, there is no such thing as not giving a reply, and there has never been any false report on the number of people.
Lindsey listened to her and gradually got the bottom of her heart. She called the office secretary to send over the files of all the sick children to confirm again.
No matter the photo or the name, there was no such person among the children sponsored by Hui Ai. After going through all the files, Lindsey let out a long breath and smiled: “The truth is on our side, I will find a way to take care of it.”
Hearing her say that, Karen was immediately relieved. “I was scared to death, as soon as I came downstairs, I was surrounded by a group of people and desperately trying to take pictures.”
“You two should stay home and rest for a while, I don’t want to get my ass kicked.” Lindsey joked, picking up her phone to call Bruce.
Their dear third aunt, it seemed, was getting restless again.
When the call was answered, Lindsey told her side of the story and asked Bruce to pick her up at noon.
“Just in time, I’m having some trouble here too.” Bruce gently reassured, agreed on a time, and hung up the phone.
Lindsey pursed her lips, put away her phone and chatted with Larissa and Karen for a while, then got up and went to find Edward.
The media is more experienced, waiting for the results of the investigation, inevitably to trouble him, not to mention that the love also has his heart and soul included.
When Lindsey came down from upstairs, Bruce’s car was already waiting at the curb.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
Lindsey smiled at him through the car window, said goodbye to Edward, and walked slowly past him.
On the way back to the suburbs, Lindsey felt a little tired and rested her head on Bruce’s shoulder, her voice muffled: “What is she doing this time? You’ve agreed that Burton should change departments.”
“It’s just a change of department, it’s definitely not enough to satisfy her desires.” Bruce tenderly rubbed her shoulders and laughed: “The shares in my hand are all in your name, the part in grandpa’s hand, will definitely not be divided to him.”
“I understand.” Lindsey snapped out of it and burst into laughter. “The third aunt wants to force you to transfer part of your shares to Burton, so that he will have a say in Grant Group.”
Bruce bowed his head, kissed her forehead dotingly, and quipped, “Smart, but the third aunt should not know yet that I gave you the shares. Grandpa is the only one who knows about this, and neither big sister nor big uncle knows about it.”
Lindsey was shocked, but on second thought, she thought it was okay.
Aidan’s hand is no less than Bruce’s, he is an elder, there is no need to compete with the younger generation. If he really wanted to compete, he wouldn’t have let Bruce sit on the head of the family in the first place.
As for Charlotte, it is even less to worry about.
She valued Bruce, her brother, more than anything else, and money was just an extraneous thing to her. She now has a good life, there is really no need to turn against her brother for something that does not belong to her.
After thinking about this, the heart will feel much better, but to Kaley, is more and more annoyed.
When she got married, she took a lot of things. The dowry alone is twice as much as Terry’s, but I didn’t expect to be satisfied, but still want Burton to enter the Grant Group and share the property that doesn’t belong to her.
“What do you want to eat for lunch?” Bruce saw that she did not say anything for half a day, and after that, he changed the subject. “I’ll call the kitchen right now.”
“Whatever, I’m not a picky eater.” Lindsey was not interested and turned the topic back again. “Is there any way to get rid of her once and for all, it’s really distracting to have this kind of thing happen every other day.”
“I’m deploying it, Burton switched to sales, so I guess we’ll know about the equity transfer soon.” Bruce scratched her nose, his voice gradually becoming lower, but his voice carried an inexplicable allure. “It won’t be long.”
Lindsey still had faith in his abilities, but decided to push it anyway. “I’ll wait, but don’t wait until I’m all old and she’s still in the way.”
Bruce smiled, and without a word, he looked down and found her lips and kissed them deeply.
Dare to doubt his ability and determination, see how he punishes her!
When we got home, lunch was ready and Old Mr. Grant was in a good mood, asking Jack to buy two painted birds, add a big fish tank, and bring the noisy parrot with him.
Big Boy and Little Boy stayed honestly in their stroller, staring curiously at the fish tank, their dark eyes darting around.
Lindsey said hello and happily went over to watch the fun, only to find that there wasn’t a single fish in the tank, and couldn’t help but wonder. “What kind of fish is Grandpa planning to keep?”
“Keep whatever you catch.” Old Mr. Grant laughed. “I also added fishing tackle today, all because of Old man Zack’s advice. By the way, Professor Lee is retiring and will be moving in then.”
“That’s a good thing, so you won’t be bored over here and they’ll have company.” Lindsey smiled back. “But don’t get into a fight when you’re playing chess.”
“How can we, we won’t have any arguments when Old Mr. Gregor is not here.” Old Mr. Grant’s tiger eyes narrowed slightly, inclined his head to look at Dabao and Xiaobao, and added, “But I really miss him.”
“I’ll talk to Randy later and ask him to prepare a house here, too, so that when Karen has a baby, we can move here.” Lindsey tilted her head and thought it was a good idea, and was about to call Karen, but was stopped by Old Mr. Grant.
Old Mr. Gregor was used to living in the city, and there was nothing to bother him, so he might not want to move.
Lindsey thought about it, after all, moving is not a trivial matter, and it is really inappropriate for her, an outsider, to give advice recklessly.
After feeding Dabao and Xiaobao, everyone went to wash their hands and eat, but just after sitting down, the maid came in and reported that there was a guest outside the door, said the last name was Gregor.
“This old man can’t be denied, speak of the devil and he will arrive.” Old Mr. Grant muttered, and went out to greet him personally.
Lindsey and Bruce followed behind him and smiled at each other in silence.
The old man is getting older, it’s better to have someone to talk to every day than to be bored by yourself. Although the two of them are fighting together, they still miss it when they are really apart.
Old Mr. Grant moved here almost half a month ago, Lindsey was still thinking when Old Mr. Gregor would not be able to sit still and come over in person, but I never thought it would be so soon.
After welcoming Old Mr. Gregor into the living room, everyone stood and talked for a while, inviting him to join them at the table.
“I really haven’t eaten yet, this place is not easy to find, my little driver drove me around the area several times before I found it.” Old Mr. Gregor looked around and gave Old Mr. Grant a thumbs up: “What a nice place, with mountains and water, good retirement.”
“Since it’s nice, would Grandpa Gregor like to move here too.” Lindsey jokingly answered, pulled out a chair and sat down.
Old Mr. Gregor did not say whether he would come or not, but he was in a good mood and had a good appetite.
After lunch, it was still early, and Old Mr. Grant was so excited that he gave Old Mr. Gregor a guided tour with his hands behind his back.
Lindsey played with Big Boy and Little Boy for a while, and then she said, “Actually, Old Mr. Gregor is quite poor, just like our grandfather, he lost his partner and never found another one.
“Randy has to make the decision, or Old Mr. Gregor has to approve it, it’s useless for you to think about it.” Bruce got up and squatted down next to her and teased, “Just mind your own business, Old Mr. Gregor will make up his own mind.”
Lindsey nodded and stopped talking about it. She really just wanted Old Mr. Grant to be happy and not so lonely in his old age.
Aidan has been busy, and does not have a lot of time to spend with him, Kaley is preoccupied with shares, and naturally can not be distracted.
The phone that was dropped on the coffee table suddenly rang loudly.
