Chapter 11: Christine White Goes After Thieves
At this time, the main entrance of the hospital.
Baird Lane pulled up in front of the hospital and checked the time just in time for Christine White to be discharged.
He opened the car door and got out, walking faithfully toward the hospital building.
I don’t know why it’s always in the back of my mind, and I can’t seem to rest easy until I come over to check it out.
Except after waiting so long, Aunt Lucy hadn’t come downstairs yet, and realizing something was wrong, he quickly walked over to check.
Just as he walked to the hospital wing, a hurried woman stopped him.
Fixing his eyes on the man, he looked somewhat familiar.
“What can I do for you, ma’am?”
“Baird, it’s me! Don’t you remember me? I’m Christine’s mom!”
“It’s you?” Baird Lane shot a few glances, and did still have some recollection of the man.
Out of respect for his elders, he asked, “Auntie, you came over to the hospital today to pick up Christine as well?”
“Yeah, yeah, haha, you could say the same thing.” the White’s mother was as eccentric as ever, not daring to look Baird Lane in the eye at all.
He frowned, always feeling that THE WHITE’S MOTHER was hiding something.
“Auntie, where is Christine?”
“Speaking of this matter, I am angry! Baird ah, just now Christine went to withdraw money, the money was just taken out by a thief to snatch away! I was so angry that I let Christine go after it!
“You let her go after it alone?” Baird Lane sank his face; the woman was thin-armed and thin-legged, and when the time came there was no telling whether she would chase the thief or the thief would chase her!
“I’ll go over there!”
Ignoring THE WHITE’S MOTHER, who was still trying to continue to pull a fast one on him, Baird Lane walked fitfully toward the downstairs lobby, trying to get the man back.
…
In the police station.
Christine White followed the police back to make a good statement, see the time is not early, she has to rush back to the hospital to give all the money to her mother, before leaving specially with the man who helped her to thank.
“Sir, it’s really troublesome for you today, and I have to ask you to follow me over to the police station.”
“It’s fine, when I run into something like this, there’s no way I won’t help.” Hugh Dong smiled, a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes slightly curved, “I just heard you tell the police that your name is Christine White? My name is Hugh Dong.”
“Mr. Dong is too kind, I should have thanked you properly today, but I still have some urgent matters, so I will definitely find a chance to treat you to dinner some other day.”
“What is so urgent, do you not even have time for a meal?” Hugh Dong took a step forward, just in time to block Christine White’s path.
Her face was embarrassed for a moment, her brother was still waiting for this money in a hurry, but this person’s face was so sincere that he looked like he just wanted to make friends with her.
He had helped her anyways, so she couldn’t afford to spoil the fun, “Mr. Dong, let’s-”
“This gentleman can tell me anything.”
He was worried about how to explain, when the man’s low, familiar voice came from above his head.
Without waiting for her to turn around, large, strong hands wrapped her in their arms.
Christine White looked up in shock and caught a glimpse of Baird Lane’s cold face.
“What brings you over?”
“I saw your mom at the hospital and she told me you were out chasing thieves, so I came over to check.”
Baird Lane’s tone sounded indifferent, but his sunken gaze swept over Fu Xiaoyuan.
Making sure she wasn’t hurt, her eyes fell on Hugh Dong.
After a moment, he held out his hand, “Hello, I’m Christine’s husband, and I’d like to ask this gentleman to help my wife catch the thief.”
“Husband? Ms. White, you’re married?”
Hugh Dong was surprised, how he looked at Christine White looked like a fresh graduate from the university, actually married?
“Mr. Dong, I’ve been married for three years.”
Christine White held out her wedding ring on her ring finger to show him, the first time she’d ever heard Baird Lane admit their relationship from him.
“I’m sorry, sir, we have things to do, we can talk later if the gentleman needs to be paid.”Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
Baird Lane nodded politely and gave his business card before leading Christine White to her car.
“By the way, how did you … know I was at the police station?”
She asked cautiously as she got into the car.
“A passerby saw you coming.”
He still had little expression on his face and only replied in a cold voice.
“Yes? …”
Christine White lowered her head in defeat, the residual warmth of the man’s palm still lingering on her shoulder.
She thought he must be nervous about her.
Sure enough, it’s self-serving.
Baird Lane started the car and asked again, “Your mom told me something, are you short of money right now?”
In order to get the money back, completely disregard for personal safety to run after that thief, fortunately this time there is someone to help, if Christine White alone to face, or thugs with weapons.
Baird Lane can’t imagine what will happen to him.
“…” Christine White bowed her head without speaking.
The carriage became silent for a moment, and after a long time Baird Lane said, “If you really need money, you can tell me and I’ll give it to you.”
“No, I don’t need your money.” Surprisingly, Christine White was quick to decline this time.
Even though she really needed the money at the moment, she didn’t need anyone else to help.
Not to mention the subject is Baird Lane?
