A Mysterious Man novel Chapter 214

When he returns to the floor of the operating room, Wade is still standing there.

Wade is in his seventies this year. When he was young, he was also a ruthless general in the mall. Ellison and Kevin have learned most of the business methods from Wade.

It can be said that they have inherited Wade’s business experience.

The Quinn family is originally a century-old local wealthy and notable family. When the company was in the hands of Wade, it was already much bigger. Now it has not fallen in the hands of Kevin and Ellison but has even improved.

For his two sons, Wade is pretty satisfied.

“Dad.” Ellison walks over, trying to help him sit down on the chair beside him, but he is slapped away hard by Wade.

Wade gives him a ferocious stare and rages at him, “I’m not yet immobile!”

Ellison shrugs and walks over to the chair, “Dad, come and sit down for a while.”

It seems that Wade has been waiting here since Kevin was sent to the operating room.

Ellison doesn’t know how long Wade stands but he can probably guess it.

Seeing that Wade is still standing there, Ellison has to use Kevin who is still in the operating room as an excuse.

“Dad, don’t fall down before Kevin gets better,” Ellison says slowly. His brows and eyes are covered with gloom.

Sure enough, Wade slowly walks towards this side when he hears the words.

Seeing this, Ellison quickly stands up and walks over to lead Wade to sit down.

Both their gaze fall on the operating room where the red light has not been extinguished for a long time.

After a while, Wade suddenly says, “Why do you think Butler did so?”

Butler’s parents have a good relationship with Wade and his wife. Although the Eton family has declined, it is not impossible to guarantee the basic life of Butler!

Why Butler does such kind of thing!

Ellison sighs and shakes his head, “I don’t know.”

There are thousands of possibilities for this kind of thing, but they can’t figure out why Butler does it.

For money?

Butler doesn’t seem to be a person who loves money very much.

For Kevin?

This is understandable but if she wants Kevin, why does she choose such an extreme way of poisoning?

“Could it be...Bella Hawkins?” Suddenly thinking of the missing person, Wade squints his eyes and his old face is full of chill.

Ellison is slightly startled.

Bella Hawkins...

How long has he not heard this name? He doesn’t know where that woman has gone. She has been missing since the last incident.

Amelia Hawkins has also disappeared during this period. It is said that he has been locked up at home by his father to learn well the rules.

But Ellison doesn’t think that Amelia can be a person who learns the rules at home in peace.

“It’s possible.” Ellison nods, “But isn’t it possible that Bella is dead?”

Ellison has heard about the fire.

At the same time, Kevin also tells him some strange things.

For example, the mark on the body that can prove Bella’s identity is gone. But the result of DNA examination can prove that the person is the eldest daughter of the Hawkins family.

Will it...

“If Bella is not the real daughter of the Hawkins Family?”

Wade shows a cold face and the solemnity in his eyes is enough to kill people.

Ellison’s eyes widen, “Then everything makes sense.”

Bella is not the real daughter of the Hawkins Family. The real one is dead. And she comes back to get revenge after getting close to someone.

As for dealing with Kevin, it is only because Kevin knows her secret.

Bella instigates Butler who has always admired Kevin to poison him, but she doesn’t expect that Butler has her own plan.

She wants to use this poison to drive Sunny away and replace her!

Fundamentally speaking, Butler might not have thought of actually killing Kevin from the beginning.

Just because the person she likes is Kevin!

After realizing this, Bella may pretend to be dead again in the name of the last incident.

As for where she is now, only she and the people in her organization know.

“What are you going to do with Butler?” After reminding his eldest son of this point, Wade leans back in his chair and closes his eyes slightly, seeming to be thinking about something.

The corners of Ellison’s lips curl up slowly, and a bloodthirsty smile appears on his handsome face.

“Doesn’t Butler want to replace Sunny?” he says coldly, “How about helping her?”

Hearing the words, wade opens his eyes, and a dim light flashes, “Okay, you can figure it out by yourself. If necessary...”

“There is no need to value the relationship between the two families.”

This is almost tantamount to a death sentence for Butler.

If it is before, Wade might have some concerns about the relationship between the two families.

But after Wade knows that the person who poisons Kevin is Butler, the former affections between the two families has completely disappeared.

It is Butler who destroys these affections.

Wade can’t forgive Butler who poisons his youngest son, and the entire Quinn family can’t also forgive her.

With Wade’s order, Ellison knows that he can just deal with Butler without scruple.

...

“Grandma Lora, where’s my mom?” Macie stands in the kitchen holding the bear doll and grabs the corner of Lora’s clothes with her little hand. Her beautiful almond eyes are full of tears.

Seeing this, Lora pitifully touches Macie’s small face, then goes to wash her hands clean, and leads her toward the living room.

As they walk through the dining room, Macie sees the vase prepared and the sprays arranged by Sunny herself. Then she curls her small mouth, and tears fall from her eyes.

At the sight of this, Lora stops quickly, squats down to look at Macie, takes out a napkin from her pocket, and wipes her tears away.

“Miss Macie, don’t cry.” Lora coaxes in a low voice, “Grandma Lora will make strawberry pudding for you, okay?”

Macie likes to eat strawberry pudding the most. In the past, when she found Macie crying and so on, as long as she used the sentence “I will make strawberry pudding for you” to coax her, she would never cry.

But this time...

The allure of “Strawberry Pudding” is no longer enough.

“I don’t...don’t eat...strawberry pudding...” Macie sobs and her nose turns red because of crying, “I...I want...Mom...Mom...”

Lora’s heart is almost broken when she hears Macie’s choking voice, but she just can’t tell her the truth.

“Miss Macie, good girl.” Lora picks up Macie to put her on a chair and sits opposite her, “Your mom is accompanying your dad for treatment at the hospital, and she will be home soon!”

Macie knows that her dad is sick, but she doesn’t know what kind of illness he has. She only knows that her dad’s illness is very serious.

Besides, whether her mom accompanied dad at the hospital or not before, she would definitely go home that night!

But her mom did not come back last night, and also today.

It’s already evening but her mom and dad still haven’t come home!

A feeling of being abandoned takes over Macie’s heart. Panic and fear make her cry even louder.

“Mom...mom...is still pregnant with a little brother...” Macie says with a sob, “A person...a person outside...not...not safe...”

Hearing Macie’s words, Lora’s tears are about to flow out.

She pities Macie and touches her head, then turns her head away and takes out a tissue to dry her tears secretly.

What a sensible little lady. She is still worried that her mother is not safe in the hospital alone, and she knows that her mother can’t stay up late with her little brother and can’t work too hard.

How can Miss Sunny leave the young lady alone!

“Grandma Lora.” Macie grabs Lora’s hand, holding back her tears, and looks at her pitifully, “Can I...can I call my dad? I...I miss dad...”

She misses dad.

She has not been accompanied by her dad since childhood. Now she has finally met her dad. But she has not been pampered enough by him, and then his dad falls ill.

Looking at Macie’s pitiful appearance, Lora almost agrees.

But thinking of the words that Mr. Ellison said before he left, she abruptly resists not calling Kevin who is still being rescued.

“Good girl, go to bed with Grandma Lora, okay?” She coaxed softly, “Mr. Kevin is still in the hospital. The doctor is not able to answer the phone during the treatment, otherwise, he will be interrupted!”

Lora patiently coaxes Macie who is about to collapse, but Macie’s cries grow louder.

After all, she is just a five or six-year-old child.

The moment Kelly arrives at the home of Sunny and Kevin, she hears Macie crying when she is still outside the door.

Kelly gets into a flap and hurries into the house.

Lora turns her head to look at the door when she hears the door opening.

“Look, Miss Macie, it’s Auntie Kelly!” Seeing Kelly, Lora seems to see a life-saving straw.

After Kelly enters the door, she sees Macie being held in Lora’s arms, with her head lying on Lora’s shoulder. Her body twitches and she looks pitiful.

Hearing Lora’s words, Macie finally lifts her head from Lora’s wet shoulder.

Macie’s eyes are red, and her nose is also red from crying. She looks at Kelly grievously.

Kelly is heartbroken when she sees her pitiful appearance, so she hurries forward to take Macie from Lora’s hand.

“Macie, Auntie Kelly will accompany you to sleep and tell you a bedtime story tonight, okay?” She embraces Macie skillfully, then goes to sit down on the sofa in the living room and puts Macie on her lap, gently using a tissue to help her wipe away the tears on her face.

She takes out something from her bag and puts it in front of Macie.
