My mystery lover novel (Richard and Amy) novel Chapter 182

Amy went downstairs after she had changed her clothes. At this time, Allison had poured a cup of tea. Seeing that Amy was coming down, Allison hurriedly picked it up and handed it to Amy.

"Thank you, but just put it there. I don't want to drink it now," Amy said to Allison.

However, Allison tilted to Amy. Amy tried to stop Allison with her hand. Meanwhile, Amy heard a scream. The hot tea poured on Allison's feet, which turned her feet red.

"Oh no! If you don't want it, you can just leave it alone. But how can you splash it on others? Richard, send Allison to the hospital right away. It can't be put off," Grandma Eva instantly pulled Amy away and said. She looked at Allison's feet with worry. There were already big blisters on them.

Richard saw that those blisters, which covered her entire feet, were bright and shiny. It looked quite serious. At this time, he was the only young man on the spot. It was inappropriate to let Halbert take her to the hospital. There was no other way. So he carried Allison out of the living room.

"There you go. It's impossible for her to walk with the injury," Grandma Eva said from behind.

Amy also got hurt, but Grandma Eva had never asked.

Amy also saw that there were blisters on Allison's feet. Although she knew that Allison had done it on purpose, she could not explain it clearly at the moment.

"Can I go as well?" Amy wanted to go to the hospital with Richard, but Addy stopped her.

"Stop messing around. Allison is already injured. What else do you want to do to her?" Addy's words seemed to imply that Amy wanted to do something bad to Allison.

"Stop it. Richard can handle it alone. You guys just stay at home," Halbert shouted with an outburst of anger. He was annoyed with the continuous troubles happened in the family.

"I'll call Jacob and ask him to go directly to the hospital. He's still working at this time." Addy finally remembered to call her son. Richard had no other choice but holding Allison in his arms. However, Allison was Jacob's wife. She couldn't let others take advantage of Allison.

Richard had sent Allison to the hospital. The rest of them in the room didn't say anything. Halbert's face was still gloomy. He was going crazy from the things happening around.

He had made up his mind. Even if he needed to kneel down to beg Cathy, he would do it in order to get her back. Without someone to manage the house, it was really a mess.

"It's completely a mess here without a person in charge. Halbert, have you thought about this problem?" Grandma Eva just happened to raise the question.

"I know, Mom. We really need someone to manage the family," Halbert nodded. He had just thought of this as well.

"That's right. You see, how disordered this family is now! It's not long from the death of your father. It can't be like this anymore!" Grandma Eva had a candidate in her heart.

"I'll bring Cathy back tomorrow, even if I need to tie her up." Only now did Halbert realize the importance of Cathy. In the past, everything in the family had been well managed by Cathy. So Halbert was so at ease.

When Grandma Eva heard Halbert's words, she immediately felt down. It was not easy for her to force Cathy away and bring Addy in. If Cathy came back, everything would change again.

"Halbert, no hurry. Allison just got injured. She needs to rest for a few days. We need to take good care of her first. Otherwise, we will be sorry and ashamed for her family." When Grandma Eva heard that Halbert wanted to bring Cathy back, she managed to stop him.

"Why? Our family is already in a mess. If Cathy doesn't come back, I won't come back either." Halbert angrily turned around and left. He was mad that he couldn't make his own decision about his wife.

"Hey, Halbert. I don't mean that." Grandma Eva couldn't let Halbert move out. If Halbert left, Richard would definitely leave as well. Then how could there be enough money to support such a big family?

But Halbert was really annoyed. He hadn't gone back to his bedroom. It was lonely to be there alone. So he went to Grandpa John's study and looked at his portrait.

"Dad, have I really done it wrong? Why would things turn out like this? I want the family to get along well. Didn't you mean the same back then? But why does everything become more and more different from what I expect?" Halbert asked.

His mother was already in her seventies. She must be lonely living alone. But wasn't it wrong for him to bring her back? She wanted to bring Addy over to take care of her because she had gotten used to Addy's care for so many years. It was reasonable.

But why did all of the matter go off track? Cathy went back to her mother's house in a fit of anger. There was always something bad happening between the daughters-in-law. Some of them even got injured sometimes.

'No! I have to bring Cathy back and let her take over the Carters,' Halbert thought.

After Halbert made up his mind, he came out of John's study. He took a coat and told the people in the room that he was going out for a few days. Then he left.

At this time, Amy was very relaxed because they were too busy to be hostile to her anymore.

Seeing Halbert off, Grandma Eva brought Addy back to her room. Amy was in the living room alone. She witnessed the whole farce which was all made up and directed by these people. Same things happened almost every day. She felt pretty tired of them. Why couldn't they just be nice and simple?

Richard hadn't come back all night, nor did he make a phone call. Amy tried to call him, but his phone was turned off.

Amy lay on the bed, reading a book. She was still thinking about some recent things of the company. At this time, there was a call from a stranger.

Amy hung it up, but the phone rang again.

"Hello, who is it?" Amy answered the call.

"This is Richard. I might not be able to come back tonight. My phone is out of power. I guess you would be worried about me, so I call you on the pay phone. Don't wait for me and go to bed early." This call was from Richard.

Hearing Richard's voice, Amy felt relieved. Although she still felt a little uncomfortable, she still chose to believe Richard.

Richard hung up the phone and tidied up the messy clothes.

He sat on the bench outside the ward. He was surprised that Tracy became so unreasonable. She had been trying to find Amy to pay the price because she couldn't let it go until Amy scalded herself to get blisters.

Richard was tired after arguing for the whole evening. In the end, he could only guarantee that he would stay here to accompany with Allison. Tracy finally gave up.
