YM778.TV Chapter 35 - The Life in Captivity
Proofread by Peter Gong
When people occasionally pass the corridor, they all see Rodney and the doctor waiting outside. Therefore, they are looking at them curiously, hoping to know what happened. “Go away! Be careful not to be found by the manager or you will lose your job.” Rodney hisses seriously. In the infirmary, Brian still doesn’t get Li’s response. He continues asking coldly, “I hope you can know your position. Don’t displease or embarrass Su’s family.” “I have no enmity with Su’s family. I just want to bring back my Nelson.” Florence Li crosses her arms. She looks up at Brian and her fingers keep vibrating. “You should know how to do it.” Brian stands up and heads for the door.
“I don’t know anything about Tabitha. You know what President Si is talking about.” Li is still feeling guilty for Su’s family. Even if he doesn’t warn her, she will close her mouth and say nothing . “I hope so!” Brian leaves cold words and turns and walks out of the room with a resentful face. He thinks he may go mad if he keeps staying here. Li’s cowardice makes him feel depressed.
Rodney and the doctor outside the infirmary see Brian come out He wants to say something, but then is stopped by Rodney’s soft cough. “Mr. Si, the meeting will begin soon.” Doctor Tian seems to understand something, and he stands there with his head lowered, daring to make no sound. “Go to treat her feet inside.” Brian takes a deep breath wrathfully and reproaches the doctor. “OK, I’ll be right away.” Hearing this, Doctor Tian immediately opens the door and walks in. After the doctor leaves, Brian turns to Rodney beside and says sternly, “Take her back to the villa after her injury is treated, and find someone to watch her. Don’t let her do anything stupid!” Rodney nods, “I see.” Brian stands there, thinking about something for seconds. After glancing sidelong at the door of the infirmary, he snorts and walks to the elevator. … …
The other side. Baron is sitting on the balcony with a cup of American coffee in his hand. He closes his eyes and feels the sound of rain outside the window. The rhythm of the falling sound seems to pacify him. Suddenly, the mobile phone on the small round table vibrates. Baron opens his eyes slowly, puts the coffee aside, picks it up and answers. “Hello.” On the other side of the phone, a soft female voice comes out, “Mr. Si, do you have time to have a cup of coffee with me?” “Miss Su has this pleasure, ah? How can you remember to have coffee with me on such a heavily rainy day?”
Baron’s eyes turn to the window, and there is no look on his face at all. “It’s such a rainy day that is better for us to talk, isn’t it?” Tabitha says with a smile on the other side of the phone. Baron pauses, picks up the coffee beside and sips it gently. “How can I refuse Miss Su’s invitation?” He says in a low voice. “See you at the Moonstone Cafe tomorrow.” Tabitha says, “Sure, see you tomorrow.”
Baron hangs up the phone. The mobile phone is turned back and forth in his hand, and Baron keeps staring at it with his black eyes. Suddenly he humphs, “I was worried that I didn’t have a suitable pawn. Now I’ve got a free one.” Baron’s face is bleak, and it looks more surly against the cloudy sky. “Mr. Si, then how to use this pawn?” The assistant beside looks at him and asks. “I would like to make good use of the pawn of Su family. Maybe I can fire a deadly bolt at Brian!” Baron puts down his coffee, with a sneer, and walks by the window. He reaches out and lets the raindrop hit him. “As expected, rainy days are suitable for people to think.” The assistant beside feels confused, only pretending to understand and nods.
The rain outside the window does not mean to stop at all. It eliminates the noise of the city and brings back a moment of tranquility. Li returns to the villa and totters to the third floor directly. She is worried about Nelson because she hasn’t seen him for a whole day. “Nanny Liu ,where is Nelson?” Li opens the door of the room and looks inside. There is no one in the large room. It’s dark there and the little boy that she hope to see is not in the bed. “Little young master, he……” Nanny Liu falters. “What the matter with him! Please! ” Florence Li looks at her and feels something wrong. She shouts anxiously and holds Nanny Liu’s hands nervously.
“Young master has a fever. Now he is in the hospital.” Nanny Liu says in one shot, closes her eyes and waits for Li to scold her. “Fever? How could he have a fever suddenly? Why no one tell me? Who is in the hospital with him? ” Li anxiously asks a bunch of questions, which makes Nanny Liu feel overwhelmed. “Mr. Si told me not to tell you. The young master is in the city hospital and Mr. Si is with him.” Rodney comes over and says seriously. Hearing this, Florence hurriedly totters downstairs. She takes every step anxiously. Her son is ill in the hospital and Nelson must be crying to find his mother now. She has to go there at once.
“I’m sorry, Miss Li. You can’t leave here.” When Florence Li arrives at the gate of the villa, two tall bodyguards reach out to intercept her. “What are you doing!” Li frowns, she can’t even wait a moment. She goes to beat their hands in a hurry, and cries in confusion. “We have to obey the order. Miss Li, don’t embarrass us.” The bodyguards allow Li to beat them freely, but they are still keeping a serious face. “Rodney,Rodney!” Li recognizes that it is that man’s idea. She turns and shouts to Rodney who is upstairs. Hearing this, he trots down to Florence and asks, “what can I do for you? Miss Li?”
“Why can’t I leave here? I want to see my son!” Li points to the bodyguards at the gate, and her voice becomes loud with anger on her charming face. “Well… Miss Li, please don’t embarrass us, it’s Mr. Si’s order. ” Rodney’s words are the same as those bodyguards’. Florence Li is chagrined. She puts her hands around her waist and misses Nelson who is in the hospital a lot. She is pacing with much anxiety. What does Brian want to do! The rain outside the window becomes heavier and heavier, and Li also begins to be more and more restless.
