President's Substitute Wife novel Chapter 242

I pulled out my phone card. If it was not connected to a wireless network, it couldn’t get online.

I was afraid Sean would find me.

After typing in the keywords, I saw a lot of news and comments.

I went through it. After Ming called the police that day, the police came. They located the ship and sent divers down to look for its black box.

They searched for it for three days and didn’t find its black box.

They found only one female body and a suitcase.

I saw the picture of that suitcase and made sure it was mine.

“The identity of the female corpse has been preliminarily identified according to the items in the suitcase and the situation of the people on the island leaving the island,” the news said.

Who was this female corpse?

It went without saying.

When I returned to the hotel, I found the door of my room open.

I opened the door and saw Ming coming out in a panic. He froze when he saw me. He came up to me and took a breath of relief but blamed me, “where have you been? Why didn’t I tell me?”

“I...” I hesitated for a moment and said, “I always dream of Molly recently, so I went to a temple...”

“Did you go there to pray?”

“I hope she will be reborn soon.” I said.

Ming heard me and rubbed my hair. He smiled helplessly. “You shouldn’t be nice to bad people.”

“Now that she is dead, I forgive her.”

In fact, Molly was dead and I was dead in Sean’s heart, so now I was relieved.

In this way, I didn’t have to be afraid of my baby being hurt.

Ming took a small phone card out of his pocket and gave it to me, “this is a new phone card. You can use it. In case I can’t find you and worry about you.”

“OK.”

“I need to do something in York, but you didn’t have a cell phone and I couldn’t contact you. I was worried about you so I came back. I’ll be back in York tomorrow.” Ming pulled a suitcase and said, “I know I gave you a bank card but you won’t spend the money on it, so I asked my nurse to buy you some clothes that are suitable for you to wear here.”

With that, he stooped to open the suitcase.

Inside it were all kinds of clothes and trousers.

Ming was different from Sean.

All the clothes he bought were comfortable clothes.

I stood there and put my cell card in my cell phone. I said, “Ming, don’t worry about me. I have a place to go.”

“What?” Hearing me, Murray became nervous. He stood up and came to me. “Are you afraid of giving me trouble? I don’t think you're troublesome, and I let you pretend to be dead. I’ve learned that the police, Carter Family and Jessop Family seem to think you’re dead.”

“No, I think you’re right. I want to be a better myself.”

I told Ming that I met Murray and would learn from him.

He became more serious after listening. “No, you have to show me to him, or I’m worried.”

“...”

“Or I won’t agree. Now a lot of people say they are experts.”

Ming’s words made me realize that he was afraid that I was cheated.

If it was someone else, I might mind that he taught me a lesson, but it was Ming so I agreed.

I asked Murray out for dinner that night.

Though Ming was twenty years younger than Murray, they got along well.

Murray’s character was strange, but when he and Ming chatted, they seemed to know each other for a long time.

Ming was relieved after they met.

The new year was coming. Murray was going abroad.

He invited me to go with him but I refused.

I would learn from him after the new year, so I may not return to York in a short time. Before that, I wanted to see sherry and send her flowers and talk to her.

Ming was very careful.

In order to hide my fake death, he rented a car in the Carson City and drove me back to the Carson City.

It was a long way. It would take at least two days.

We had been listening to several songs.

I was bored and turned off the music and asked, “Ming, can I ask you a few things about Sean?”

“Yes.” Ming didn’t seem surprised. “I’ll tell you what you want to know.”

I asked him why he sponsored me.

Ming looked ahead and seemed to be thinking seriously.

He was silent for a while and said, “when I was a child, my family was poor but it cost a lot of money to study medicine. At that time, I made a lot of efforts to earn tuition and scholarship. Then I got rich and wanted to help others.”

“And then you came to my orphanage?”

“Yes, it’s very close to the hospital where I used to work.” Ming paused and continued, “I found the dean. He gave me some information about the children who are going to university and I chose you.”

I laughed after listening, “actually, I always thought you were an old man. I didn’t expect you are just an uncle.”

“Thank you. Fortunately, you don’t think I’m an old man.”

Ming was focused on driving. He just glanced at me and smiled.

“And Carter Family...”

As soon as I mentioned it, Ming looked a little sad, “I’m sorry. I think you and your grandmother have a good relationship. You won’t want this company to belong to outsiders.”

“Thank you. I’ll pay you back when I have money.”

Ming was right.

If Carter Family belonged to an outsider, I would buy it back when I had money.

“OK.”

He didn’t refuse or give me a deadline.

-

It took us nearly three days to drive back to York from the Carson City.

On the afternoon of the third day, when we were less than 100 kilometers away from York, we met a big traffic jam!

We waited for a while but the cars in front of us didn’t move.

After driving on the highway for a day, Ming and I decided to get out of the car and take a walk.

We asked the other drivers. There was a series of car accidents ahead. There was only one ambulance and a lot of paramedics were there to save people.

Ming took off his mobile phone and watch and gave them to me and said, “you wait here. I’ll go ahead and have a look.”

“I’ll go with you!”

I followed him.
