Chapter 48 I Feel Pitiful When I See it
Josh knew Eloise's personality, her mother was her only weak spot. She could not wait until after 24 hours.
The next morning, all he needed was to slightly pressurize Eloise. Then, she would have no choice but to find Hector to discuss the collaboration.
Agnes was sitting aside, she also knew about this good news. There was a smile on her face but she had no idea why there was a sense of insecurity in her heart.
'Would everything just go as smooth as what father imagined?'
At that moment, the doorbell rang. Josh was shocked, 'It is so late, would it be Eloise who came to our house?'
Upon thinking, Josh stood up and opened the door. He was astonished when he saw two police officers were standing right outside his door.
"Officers, what happen..."
Eloise was standing right behind the two police officers, she was staring at Josh with a piercing cold look.
The police said, "Mr. Thompson, we found out that you have illegally brought a patient away from the hospital. Please return the patient immediately or else we will need to arrest you." After saying that, Josh's facial expressions changed.
He had already guessed that Eloise would call the police, but he did not expect the police would take care of the whole situation. Besides, this person had not even been missing for over twenty-four hours yet. Why did the police come directly to him? Was it because Robin had already been exposed? What a useless garbage.
Josh's look was terrible and he managed to force a smile..
"Police, there must be some misunderstanding. I just want to send my ex-wife to a better place with better treatment. I have not discussed this with Eloise in advance. I am so sorry to bother you guys."
Staring at Josh's face, Eloise only felt disgusted. He obviously wanted to threaten her with her mom, but he was shameless enough to say that he wanted to take care of her mom.
"It is all my fault, Eloise. You can ask the police to leave, it is in the middle of the night..."
Josh was staring at Eloise with dangerous intentions in his eyes. That look seemed to say, 'If you don't ask the police to leave now, then don't blame me if I am ruthless to your mom!'
There were police right here, Eloise was not afraid that Josh might do something to her mom now.
A hint of mockery flashed in her eyes and she indifferently said, "My mom had nothing to do with you a long time ago, I can take care of her on my own. Mr. Thompson, I don't want to bother you as you are just her ex-husband."
Josh was so mad that his face turned blue, but there was nothing that he could do as the police were right there.
The police were staring at Josh, they were urging him to immediately tell them Maryam's whereabouts.
Josh gritted his teeth. A trace of reluctance flickered in his eyes. But he knew he was unable to muddle through this situation.
Eventually, Josh gave a location. It was a small clinic in City J.
"Ha, Mr. Thompson, so this is what you meant by taking care of my mother?"
Eloise was ironically looking at Josh. He was hiding a person in such a small clinic. Wouldn't he be afraid that her mother might need to have surgery in case of emergencies?
After getting the location, Eloise did not continue to tangle with Josh but followed the police and left.
The clinic was located in a remote place. The journey back and forth to settle down Maryam at the hospital was finally ended after midnight.
Upon watching her mother lying peacefully on her own sickbed, Eloise could not stop the tears from falling off in her eyes. She held Maryam's hand then sobbed and yelled, "Mom..."
Eloise could not even imagine if there was something bad happened to her mom, what should she do in the future?
"Ms. Thompson, since we have found your mother, we will leave now. If you encounter any problems, feel free to call us again."
Eloise wiped off the tears on her face, she said remorsefully, "Police officers, thank you for your help. It is so late at night, thank you so much."
"You are welcome, Ms. Thompson. This is our job."
The two police officers did not dare to find this incident troublesome as the chief was the one who ordered them to do so. They did not dare to go against his words.
They could not help but size up Eloise, 'Who is this lady? Even the chief and head of the hospital helped her, she is impressive!'
After sending away the police officers, Eloise also said thank you to Jensen Walker who was standing at the ward doorway.
"Dr. Walker, thanks a lot today. If you did not find the evidence, Robin would not confess and we would not be able to find my mom so soon."
Jensen smiled and wanted to say that he was not the one she needed to thank, it was someone else...
Before he had spoken anything, he heard Eloise continued to say, "Dr. Walker, can you help me one more thing?"
"Oh? What is it?"
Jensen thought it was something related to Maryam.
Eloise looked tensed, after hesitating for a while she finally said, "About the things that happened today, please do not tell it to Hector!"
Back then, he had seen Jensen in the Thompson family, Eloise knew these two guys knew each other. The reason why Jensen was being so helpful to her tonight was mostly because of Hector. But Eloise did not want him to know as she did not want him to worry about it.
Jensen slightly raised his eyebrow and thought, 'Why is this lady so naive!'
'After such a big incident, does she really think Hector will not know about it?'
Jensen just nodded and then left the hospital.
After walking out of the hospital, Jensen immediately opened the door and entered the Maybach that was parking right outside.
"Tsk tsk, Hector, I sure did underestimate you before. You are surprising enough to stay up the whole night just for a woman."
Jensen had known Hector for a long time but he had never seen him treated a woman like that.
No, to be accurate, Hector did not even have women around him before.
Hector placed one of his hands on the car window and stared into the hospital building. He then said with his clear voice, "How is she?" "If you want to know, then just go inside!"
Hector gazed at Jensen with a squint. He was abashed and did not dare to joke about it anymore because of Hector's powerful aura. "When she saw her mom, she cried immediately. It hurts my heart to see that."
Hector pursed his lips and remained silent.
"She said thank you to me and the police officers. Oh yes, she also asked me to not tell you a single thing. She seems lovely and pitiful but after staying up all night, she seems terrible. Now, she is staying in the ward with her mom, I think she is not going anywhere tonight."
Jensen was leaning against the back seat and continued to talk in a casual tone, "Are you sure you are not going in to check on her? You are sending people and contributing effort and also staying up all night Since when is it your style to do good deeds without telling your name, Mr. Rogers?"
Hector pursed his lips, his handsome face seemed a little bit dull, he eventually said, "I am not going."
Maybe she did not want to see him.
"Fine, if you don't want to go then don't. Let's go, invite me to dinner then! There are plenty of single male doctors in our hospital anyway. Tonight, the head of the hospital was even dragged out by Eloise's incident, it is quite dramatic. Tonight there will be a lot of people in the hospital who will take care of her, just relax!"
After saying that, Jensen had already fastened his seat belt. There was a sense of playfulness in his look.
Hector's expression changed and hesitated for a while. He then opened the door of the car and walked towards the hospital.
"Oh, I thought he say he is not going?"
Jensen was looking at Hector's back with an aroused look. Oh no, if he was gone then who was going to invite him to have dinner, was all of his hard work tonight a waste of time?"
