Love Is Fair by Kerri novel Chapter 196

Chapter 196 Jason still needed to stay in the hospital for observation and also needed to recuperate for a while to avoid sequela or complications. Lily picked two care workers from the Garden of Rose with nursing experience to take care of the old man. Hailey was still uneasy and wanted to move her work to the hospital to accompany the old man in bed, but it was refused by Jason. “It’s not like I’m paralysed, you go and do your business!” Ava volunteered, saying that she could stay with her grandfather and that she didn’t necessarily have to work at the company anyway. Her time was relatively free and having the old man to guide her might spark more design inspiration in her mind. Chris showed Hailey her itinerary for the latest week. “You really don’t have that much time to stay at the hospital, you still have to go to Berny this week, there is an operation waiting for you to attend.” Even so, Hailey was still worried. She put off all the business affairs she could and ran to the hospital whenever she could. People who were sick were the most vulnerable and loneliest. The old man’s three sons were either dead, crippled, or heartless, but fortunately, he still had his granddaughter to care for him. Hailey came to the hospital again, carrying a basket of fruits and snacks that the old man loved, and while walking towards the ward, she

asked, “The old man has been in hospital for so long, but Reid Newman still hasn’t come to see him?” “No.” Chris said, “Reid heard from someone that the Morgan had his leg broken by you and he was too scared to come over. And I also heard that ……” Hailey knitted her brows. “If you have something to say, just let it out.” Chris touched his nose. During these days, Ms. Newman hadn’t been in a good mood, and Chris thought her words were bolder and bolder. He didn’t care if he was grumbling anymore, so he was busy telling Hailey the latest information he had. “Reid may have a guilty conscience, he’s afraid that if he stays any longer you will do something to him. He already has plans to emigrate, moreover, it seems that he doesn’t plan to take Cindy away.” Hailey tilted her head. “He has a new lover again?” “Exactly.” Chris gave a thumbs up to Hailey. She gave him a glance of disgust. “Are you a eunuch?” “…..” This was already the second time he was called a eunuch. He was such a wise and strong man, and where did he look like a eunuch? But he didn’t have the guts to talk back to Hailey. He coughed lightly, “According to my latest information, Cindy’s plastic surgery was a complete disaster in Korea, hence she has also lost Reid, who has recently gotten involved with a female student who wants to study abroad but has no money.” Hailey wrinkled his eyebrows. “A female student?” “Yes, she is nineteen years old, younger than Ava.” Hailey scolded in a deep voice, “What a bastard.” Chris continued. “Cindy didn’t sit still. She has secretly transferred assets without Reid knowing, and they had a big fight when Reid found out about that. She already found a divorce lawyer and is gathering evidence of his marital infidelity and domestic violence, in order to fight for custody of the children and more property, and ideally, she wanted to get everything Reid has.” Reid Newman had been busy dealing with the divorce lawsuit, and with his current wife. Not only that, but he also needed to appease his new lover. How could he still have the time to care about his own father? Hailey listened, and said lightly, “It’s not messy enough for him. You can keep him busier. The results of the paternity report are already out, you can send it to that new lover of his.” Chris blinked. When it came to messing things up, Hailey Newman was the expert. Hailey had not been able to deal with Reid herself recently, but what goes around comes around, and the wicked would be punished soon. Divorce lawsuits were enough to keep him busy for a while. The two people would not be able to share any asset or property in the end, no matter who lost or won. Hailey said lightly, “After their divorce lawsuit is over, you can make a move and let the court freeze Reid’s assets. In his name, apart

from the fake goods he brought back, all other movable and immovable properties are mines, and whenever he wants to take them back, it’s up to me.” In other words, Hailey could immediately turn Reid from a rich uncle to a poor man with a slight twist of her finger. A middle-aged man with money was a sugar daddy, but a middle-aged man without any finance was just a useless old man. Uncle? It’s better to call him “grandpa”. Even if he managed to move abroad, how would he survive in a foreign country without any money to support him. He would have no choice but to beg for money, In short, Reid Newman’s fate was in the palm of Hailey’s hand.

She would not let him die too easily.

Pushing open the door of the ward, Hailey smiled and called out crisply, “Grandpa…” However, when she saw the two people who had suddenly turned up in the ward, her smile froze on her face. Matthew was sitting on the edge of the bed with his legs crossed, peeling a pear, and he responded with a squeaky voice, “Hey!”

Hailey’s face sank as she casually picked up an apple from the fruit basket and smashed it towards Matthew. He stuck a fruit knife into it with precision, and without washing it, he took a big bite. He also handed the peeled pear and added, “Grandpa, here you are.” Jason took the pear with a smile. “What brings you guys here?” When Hailey saw Matthew and Owen, her face didn’t look much better, not welcoming them at all. “We came over to see grandpa.” Matthew smiled. “I’ve heard a lot about senior Mr. Jason, I’ve admired him for a long time, and I’m really blessed and lucky to see him today.” Hailey didn’t buy him at all. “You know Mr. Jason?” “Of course I do!” Matthew said, “Do I look like such an ignorant person?” Owen said leisurely, “You don’t look like that, you are.” He exposed Matthew in a second. “Don’t listen to him brag, he just looked it up on the Internet a while ago.” Ava and Chris couldn’t help but laugh as Jason ate his pear with relish, with his eyes darting around and around between Hailey, Matthew and Owen. Matthew was a bit pissed off. “Why are you backstabbing me? Are you still brother!” Owen looked at him askance. “Haven’t we always been backstabbing each other?” “……” Matthew was so angry that he wanted to give Owen the middle finger. They were such a pair! “You’re brothers? Aren’t you love rivals?”. Jason suddenly opened his mouth and asked with interest, “You two, you both have your eyes on my eldest granddaughter, don’t you?”

Hailey frowned. “Grandpa….” At such an age, Jason was still gossipy. “There’s nothing to be ashamed of, it’s time that you guys should find the matches and get married.” Jason looked at Owen and then at Matthew and asked with a smile, “Which one do you like, my baby girl?” Hailey froze, feeling speechless.
