“Who could it be?”
Flossie’s mind was a mess.
She found it impossible to get her head around these incidents that happened almost simultaneously. They twirled and intertwined, mixing into a putrid mess of trepidation.
Now it seemed like the driver was the only witness. Thus, she could only wait for him to wake up before she could learn about what happened at that time.
Filled with anxiety, she waited at the hospital where the driver was.
He finally woke up the next morning.
“Van was asking the shop owner to take out the gift he had long ordered. A man came in before he patted Van’s shoulders and said, ‘Mr. Guajardo sends his regards.’ After that, he took Van away and threw a grenade into the shop…” The driver described the incident weakly.
“Mr. Guajardo sends his regards?!”
Flossie furrowed her brows tightly. She could not believe what she had heard. With a solemn expression, she sought confirmation from the driver. “Are you sure that was what that man said? Are you mistaken?”
“Joan, I did get hurt, but I’m not dumb. I remember what happened at that time. I don’t have to lie to you.”
The driver coughed twice. He sounded very firm.
Hailing from the same hometown as them, he spoke very good English. She could not have heard him wrongly.
However, he did not expect that everything would change so fast. He had no time to ask for help and could only watch Van getting dragged away by another man.
“Okay, I got it. Thank you. Take care. I’ll come to see you again if I have time.”
Flossie was stupefied on the spot for a long time. Countless possibilities coursed through her mind before she gave the driver a firm bow and left the hospital.
She walked on the street alone. The weather in the morning was very low, and the air was wet. It was as cold, stuffy, and gloomy as her current mood.
If the driver’s words were true, the mastermind behind this sinister kidnapping was self-evident.
“Damn it!” she cursed herself.
She should have thought of the possibility that Halston wouldn’t give up when she bumped into him at the elevator that day, especially since he saw Jovan as the person who snatched his post. In the past, Jovan was the one who forced Halston into such a sorry state. Now that Jovan fell, Halston would never let him off the hook.
Thus, Halston was the only one who knew Jovan’s whereabouts now.
After taking a deep breath, she prepared herself to go to him and get to the bottom of it.
Even if she was full of reluctance, she still could not escape his meticulous scheme to catch her.
He didn’t even have to see her. She was forced to go and see him… Halston was indeed an apex predator.
Without much delay, Flossie immediately went to the hospital where he was.
She learned from the nurse that Seraphina still needed treatment for a week before she could be discharged from the hospital.
Halston should be in Seraphina’s ward now, acting as her perfect fiance, devoid of the slightest worry.
With a heavy mind, Flossie went to Seraphina’s ward. However, instead of going in, she waited outside the door for a long while.
Frankly, if she weren’t left with no options, she would’ve never wanted anything to do with them again. She didn’t possess a docile temper and could not be the enthusiastic spectator of their sappy little romance drama.
She was afraid that she might feel like hitting them if they showed off their love in front of her again.
“Huh?! Calm down. Hold yourself back.”
Flossie stood at the door of the ward and repeatedly got herself mentally prepared before she knocked on the door.
“You are?”
The person who opened the door was a fair strange woman.
“Er, you are?”
Flossie was slightly stupefied before she looked around the ward.
Both Halston and Seraphina were no longer in the ward. It was now occupied by a completely different patient.
Flossie retreated a bit and glanced at the ward number. It was the right ward.
At that time, the nurse happened to walk over. When the nurse saw Flossie, she was very happy and slightly surprised.
“Wow, Joan. As expected, you came back. Mr. Guajardo said that you’d come back.”
“Mr. Guajardo?”
“Yes, Miss Murphy was discharged in advance. Before Mr. Guajardo left, he gave me a letter and asked me to pass it to you. He told me you’d be back soon.”
While talking, the nurse took out a letter from her bag and handed it to Flossie. “I’ll be relieved after giving you the letter.”
Flossie was at a loss for words.
She slowly accepted the letter and tore it open quickly. There was only a row of simple words in it. [You reap what they have sown. Come to me if you want him back.]
“Damn it!”
At that moment, despair almost engulfed her son. She felt like a puppet whose every speech and behavior was being controlled by that f*cking person from afar. As a result, she was full of indignation and helplessness.
It seemed like she could not escape from that battle. She could only hope that she would not suffer an utter defeat.
Flossie simply packed up her things and boarded the earliest flight back to Beach City.
After being away for half a year, everything was still the same, but the people had changed.
When both Chase and Margaret heard that she wanted to come home, they were soon relieved before they heaved a sigh, one after another.
Flossie was worried about her brother, so she returned to Carmine Pawnshop first.
The two children missed her too much. They had been waiting at the door early and looking for her.
“Mommy! Mommy!”
Abby saw the car Flossie’s car from afar. She jumped happily.
On the other hand, Adie was also standing at the side eagerly. But his emotions were much more complicated.
“Adie, Abby, you’ve grown taller. I miss you so much.”
When Flossie got out of the car, tears inevitably welled up in her eyes. After that, she pulled them both into her arms.
“Miss Flossie, you’ve suffered a lot.”
