See You Never, Mr. Lamont

Chapter 253

Chapter 253 Fool The boss hadn’t shown up for many years, and as soon as he came back, they asked him to do a task. To be honest, he was a bit excited! The person ahead seemed to know they were being followed, deliberately driving into remote and obscure places. A massive boulder blocked the way ahead. The fat man spat out a “pah”, gripped the steering wheel tightly and growled in a low voice, “Hold on!” Pedro gripped the handle tightly, his face serious. The car, like a flying bird, soared over the rocks, crashing down at a forty-five degree angle. With a “bang”, dust rose all around. In the silent night, everything fell into silence. Tristen glanced back through the rearview mirror, a low chuckle escaping from his throat: “Idiot.” The accelerator was floored, and the car sped away… Claudia hurriedly left the Johnson family, with Horace following 000 behind her, anxiously pleading, “Don’t go, you’re still carrying a child in your belly, I’ll go save Edmond.” Upon hearing this, Claudia stopped in her tracks. She touched her lower abdomen, her face calm and composed. “Don’t worry, I will definitely bring him back,” Horace said solemnly, a rare sternness appearing on his handsome face.

Claudia shook her head, “Horace, this is between Edmond and me, I don’t want to drag you into this.” “You should have known, I couldn’t escape, I was already involved.” It was him, who took the initiative to join the game. Horace smiled calmly, “With me around, you at least have an extra pair of hands. You’re carrying a little baby in your belly now, I’m not comfortable leaving you alone.” Claudia lowered her eyes faintly, eventually letting out a bitter smile, no longer saying anything.

She was not alone, she had the Enigma organization behind her. But seeing Horace’s determined look, she sighed slightly. “Actually, you didn’t have to do this…” “I know,” Horace picked up her words, “It was all my own willing choice, it has nothing to do with you, I know what I’m doing.” “Don’t feel burdened or pressured, don’t forget, we are friends.” After speaking, he took the lead and got into the car, turning back to wave at her, “Get in.” This time, Claudia wasn’t shy either, she quickly followed. *** At the General Hospital of Vencumfield, Elva sat on the bed, quietly looking out the window. Various doctors were standing around her sickbed. “Ms. Friedan, you just had a prosthetic leg fitted not long ago, and now it’s injured again, the recovery time is also unknown.” “The last prosthetic was completely unusable. You said you wanted one with a higher compatibility and more realistic, which might require importing from abroad.” It was all bad news. Elva turned her head, her face pale as she looked at them, “Do as you say.” She had already lost the strength to resist. What hurt more than the physical pain, was the harm Horace had done to her. Thinking of his cruel side, Elva shuddered all over. The attending physician closed the file in his hand and kindly reminded, “By the way, Ms. Friedan, the money you pre-deposited has been completely used up. If you want to continue treatment in our hospital, you need to pay additional medical fees.” Elva furrowed her brows, impatiently retorting, “Didn’t I ask the nurse to swipe my credit card for you? The treatment fee should be deducted from there.” The doctor apologized with a smile, “I’m sorry Ms. Friedan, your card was deactivated yesterday and is currently in an unusable state.”

“Stopped?!” Elva’s eyes widened, “How could it stop, this is the card my dad just gave me, there’s a limit of one million in it!” “Well, I wouldn’t know then,” the attending physician responded indifferently, turning to the nurse beside him, “If she can’t pay up before the end of the shift, vacate the patient room.” The little nurse nodded repeatedly. Now Elva really started to panic. Her leg hadn’t been attached yet, how could the Friedan family have cancelled her card at this time? She hurriedly made a call to Thomas, continuously dialing for five minutes, until finally, he answered. “Hello.” Thoma s’s indifferent voice came through, making Elva’s heart sk ip a beat. “Dad, did you cancel my credit card?” she asked in a coquettish manner. ་་ Thomas was always taken in by her coquettish ways. In the past, Whatever she wanted, as long as she asked sweetly, Thomas would always fulfill her wishes. However, this time, Thomas didn’t flinch at all when he heard these words. “It was me who stopped it,” Thomas paused, then added, “The company has been facing some difficulties recently. You have a wheelchair anyway, so you might as well go and stay in the old house for now.” The old house… Elva was taken aback, suddenly thinking she must have misheard. Why did Thomas want her to go to the old house again? Intuition told her that Thomas definitely knew something. Reflecting on some things she had done, she gripped her phone tightly, lowering her voice to a whisper, “Daddy, I want to start walking sooner. The doctor said they are looking for a foreign prosthetic for me, one that will blend better and fit more appropriately with my leg. Could you… could you unlock the credit card…”

“Elva, it’s not that I won’t,” Thoma s’s voice betrayed no emotion, “Most importantly, you are not my biological daughter.”
