Chapter 161: Anna escaped from prison
In the hospital, Fred accompanied Elena to see Bess, but Bess looked away and refused to look at Elena.
“You guys go, I don’t want to see you, if it wasn’t for you, mommy wouldn’t have died, you guys go ……” Bess had hatred in her heart, mommy was gone, and on the New Year’s Day, she was in the hospital and no one came to see her.
The first day of the year, she waited with great expectation for her brother and sister, but no one came except the police, and on the second day of the year, she still looked with bated breath, but no one came. She hated, hated where she came from, the same father, the same mother, but neither Fred nor Elena came to see her, they didn’t even think of her as a sister.
“Bess, I know it’s hard for you with Mommy gone, but–”
“I’ve been in the hospital for days, and you guys haven’t even come to see me, but today you came here under false pretenses, what are you trying to do?” Bess shouted at Elena.
“You shut up, Elena just found out last night and came to see you today, and you’re yelling at her like this, who made you guys like this? Was it Elena? You’re the ones who are to blame.” Fred saw Bess yelling at Elena as soon as she arrived and couldn’t help but be furious.
“Fred, don’t be like that, it’s really my fault.” Elena pulled Fred back and pushed him out.
“Elena, let’s go, what are you still doing here with this kind of ungrateful woman?” Fred yanked Elena and asked her to go out with him.
“You go out first, Bess, what do you want to drink and eat? Let your brother go get it.” Elena asked Bess as she pushed Fred and turned back.
Bess puffed up, expecting her to ignore it, but instead she spoke up, “I’ll have coffee and fried chicken wings.”
Fred paused and looked back at Bess before turning to Elena, “Honey, how about she speaks out of turn again and you ignore her.”
“Got it, go get coffee and bring me a cup of milk tea.” Elena pushed Fred outside and closed the door behind her without waiting for him to say anything else.
“Don’t you pretend, I won’t acknowledge you as a sister.” As soon as the door closed, Bess’ disdainful voice came from behind her.
“Whether you admit it or not, we are all one mom, Bess, do you still love Fred?” Elena asked softly as she walked to the hospital bed, lifted Bess up, and helped put a pillow behind her back.
“This has nothing to do with you.” Bess said defiantly, gritting her teeth.
“By blood Fred is your brother, and maybe you don’t like me, but if you can let go and really see us as brother and sister, go back and live there.” This was the decision Elena made after staying up all night.
Now that her mother is gone, she is not comfortable letting Bess go to America alone. After all, there is no family there except for her younger siblings, and since she and Fred are brother and sister, they are supposed to take care of her.
“You’re willing to let me stay with The Garner family?” Bess didn’t expect Elena to take the initiative to let her stay with The Garner family, and a moment of surprise naturally flowed.
“You are Fred and I’s sister, that was originally your home, as long as you can let go, why not?” Elena said with a faint smile.
Last night, she and Fred discussed the night, Bess’s nature is not bad, just spoiled by Carole, and they feel that Bess’s feelings for Fred is not the love of a man and a woman, if you really say there is, it is only the jealousy and vanity of women.
“I don’t have a mommy anymore, will you guys – will you abandon me?” Luo Xiaoyou looked at Elena with tears in her eyes. In fact, her mind was not that complicated, she just wanted to have a good family, marry a good man, be able to afford to wear brand names, have luxury cars in and out, in the end, she just wanted to marry into a rich family.
Although you can’t marry Fred, but if Fred recognizes her as a sister, that’s different, even if you don’t marry, in The Garner family, for life, can also live the life she wants. If you really want to marry, with her The Cloud Group’s identity as a young lady, she can also marry very well. So, this will Elena proposed, of course, she agreed, originally she did not want to leave.
“No, you’re our sister, Bess, as long as you put yourself in the right frame of mind, I’m sure Fred will accept you too.” Elena saw signs of softening in Bess and said again.
Elena was actually very conflicted about what had happened in the past and Bess’s disregard for her, but no matter what, Bess was her and Fred’s sister, and now that mommy was gone, she knew very well that Carole was still most concerned about Bess.
Doing so is both to think of brother and sister, sisterly love, and the other is also to put mommy’s mind at ease.
“Does brother agree?” Knowing that Elena agreed, Bess immediately added.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
“We discussed it last night, we are a family.” Elena did not explain more, she believed Bess understood what she meant.
“Sis, thank you, with mommy gone, I only have you and brother left.” Bess said with tears in her eyes.
“Get well, when you are well, we will take you home.” Elena helped Bess to gather the bangs in front of her forehead, when she was small, she wished to have a younger sibling, now she really has one, she will try to be a good sister, just hope Bess will not let her down.
When Fred came back, Elena was peeling fruit for Bess, seeing that the two were really getting along like sisters, Fred was certainly happy, but he was still a little uneasy.
Bess used to be his secretary and had worked at The Cloud Group for so long that Fred knew her very well.
If it was just a working relationship, it was nothing, but living at home, his heart was in turmoil, but this will be Carole died, Elena was very hurt, this can only be so, then slowly step by step to see it.
The two stayed at the hospital for most of the day, accompanied Bess to lunch before leaving, just went to the hospital, Fred received a call from Albert.
A few people, again, met in the teahouse.
“Fred, Elena, here.” When Fred and Elena arrived at the teahouse, Albert, and his son, had long since arrived, and seeing the two, Albert waved happily.
“Albert, this is …… days ah, you have such a big son?” Elena approached and was surprised to see the boy sitting next to Albert.
“It’s still Elena who has sharp eyes and saw right away that we are father and son.” Albert happily gave Elena a thumbs up, while despising Fred, “Unlike someone who only sees his own son with those eyes.”
“Hello uncle, aunt, my name is Bruce Barrett, you can call me Bruce.” Unlike the previous flames in The Barrett family, this time Bruce Barrett was so good that he brought tears to Albert’s eyes.
“Good boy, Bruce, where’s your mommy? Why isn’t she here?” Elena looked around and didn’t see a woman, and wondered.
“Merry is in New York, calling to tell you that tomorrow I will go to New York with Bruce, this side of things, for the time being, to trouble Fred.” Albert wrapped his arms around his son and said happily.
“No problem, you take extra care when you go out by yourself.” Fred immediately stated.
“If my family is looking for you, you are I did not contact you, do not know.” Albert seemed worried that his family would not let go, so he reminded Fred that he must not let his family know that he had gone to New York.
Looking at Albert’s look, Fred sighed, “You and your family are having trouble again?”
“Uncle Fred, look, the fingerprints on his face haven’t even faded yet.” Bruce Barrett pointed his finger at Albert’s face and said.
Fred looked serious and said, “Did you have a falling out with your family?”
“Not much of a falling out, they just use me as a seeding tool and want me to help them create a puppet, but unfortunately, my son seems to be a rebel.” Albert stroked his son’s head and laughed.
“Albert, the emotional thing …… if there is still a possibility, do not give up.” Fred looked at Albert, wanted to say something, but in the end did not say it, just said a word of encouragement.
“I know, when I get to the United States ……” Albert said the phone suddenly rang, he took it out to see, did not hesitate to answer.
Looking at Albert who answered the phone, his face kept changing, and the faces of Mr. and Mrs. Fred followed with worry, thinking it was the elders of The Barrett family looking for Albert again.
“Fred, there’s bad news, Anna escaped, you have to be careful.” It turned out that the call was from Albert’s classmates at the police station, who had received word that Anna had injured the guards and run out of the guardhouse this morning.
“Ah–Fred, will she go to the house?” Elena exclaimed.
“Probably, but don’t worry, grandparents, and Jeffery and Jack have gone to the city council, this will only be the bodyguard and Uncle Peter at home, it should be fine.” Fred guessed that Anna must have gone to the house as well, fortunately there was no one at home this time, but still had to call Paul to make sure.
“Elena, you do not have to worry, the bodyguard is not a vegetarian, call to remind them, if it is Anna, do not be soft.” Albert followed suit and comforted.
“I hope so, Fred, should we go back?” Elena asked Fred, who was on the phone, with a sideways glance.
If they couldn’t find anyone at home, Anna would never stop and might go to her parents’ house again, so Elena thought it would be better for them to stay at home and wait for the rabbits. That way, at least, no innocent people will get hurt and no more tragedies like the one that happened on New Year’s Eve.
“Grandpa, Grandma, and the two kids are in the city council, we don’t have to worry, but we need to call Kevin, it’s best to let father-in-law and mother-in-law take shelter.” Fred said, hurrying to pull the phone again.
I really do not know what the guards are doing, but let a weak woman run out, and still at this time, just think, come to fire.
“Fred, why don’t you and your family go out of the country to avoid, and come back after Anna’s arrest.” Albert suggested.
Anna’s target should be Elena and Fred, as long as they leave, Anna even out, can not do anything, unless chasing out of the country, but that is never possible.
“That’s a good idea, Elena, why don’t we go to New York tomorrow with Albert and have some fun.” Fred said heartily.
“Or not, I have to change my hand and Bess is in the hospital, it doesn’t seem good for us to just go and leave her behind.” Elena was a little tempted, but shook her head when she thought of Bess, whom she had only met a short time ago.
