SWNOVELS chapter 504
Chapter 504 You Are Hopeless.
On the other side of the phone, Merlin and Martin were both stunned, and only after a few seconds of pause did they speak in a light voice. "It's my sister. She has been out of sorts lately. Both my Dad and I want her to see a psychiatrist.”
At the same time, Bishop's eyes fluttered, and something occurred to his mind. Then he smiled slightly and said softly, "Oh, I see. I know a psychiatrist. He' experienced. I can make an appointment for your sister.”
Merlin paused then turned to look at Martin. Seeing him nodding slightly, Merlin quickly agreed, "That would be great. The one that Mr. Adams knows is certainly trustworthy! Thank you, Mr. Adams."
Bishop laughed lightly, "Never mind, my friend.” When he said this, it was like putting a higher value on Martin and Merlin. And they were instantly flattered, their faces flashing with joy.
Merlin echoed, "Yes, yes, my friend."
"Then I'll make an appointment for tomorrow. That friend of mine is working in the People's Hospital. It happens that he is on day shift tomorrow.”
"Good, then it's settled!"
The two sides reached an agreement quickly. Immediately after that, Merlin hung up the phone, turned to look at Martin at the side, smiling proudly, "Dad, you heard it, right? Just now Bishop said we are his friends!"
Now Bishop had gone from the disabled man who had little power to the chief president of the Lion Group. And people in Austos City were scrambling to seek cooperation with him and get involved with him. Now Bishop said that they were friends. They were naturally excited and proud.
With a backer, it was convenient to do many things. They went to great lengths to marry Jeanne to August before, just in
order for Kelly's to be able to take advantage of Lion's group and become prosperous. But then after that matter, Jeanne and August divorced. They immediately changed their backer, and now they were considered to have come out of their misery. Suddenly, Merlin thought of something, his smile stiffened, "Then what if there is nothing wrong with Jeanne?"
Martin raised his eyebrow and said unconcernedly, "What does that matter? All in all, we have to take this opportunity to thank Bishop. Gradually you know, we'll get to know each other quite well!" Merlin nodded in agreement, "Yes, Dad, you're right!"
All in all, Jeanne's health condition didn't matter to them. They only wanted to leverage more power in the Austos business circle to make Kelly's bigger and bigger! In the eyes of businessmen, the first priority had always been profit. Three years ago, Martin was able to marry off Jeanne in order to get involved with August, and now he could also say that his daughter has mental problems in order to curry favor with Bishop. In his eyes, Jeanne had never been anything more than a commodity that could be valued and used.
The next day, only an hour before sending Jeanne to the People's Hospital to see the doctor, Martin stepped upstairs, led by the maid to the door, and pushed it open. Jeanne was still tied hands and feet. Her hair was disheveled, face pale. She didn't look like a person but a ghost.
Seeing her like this, Martin couldn't help but frown and coldly instructed the maid at the side, "Change her clothes, comb her hair. When the car is ready, take her to the hospital.”
The maid immediately nodded and agreed.
Jeanne raised her eyes, looked at Martin, and said in a weak voice, "Dad, I was wrong. Could you help me find August..." Hearing what she said, Martin's face became gloomy at once. He flung his sleeves in anger, turned around and was about to leave. When he stepped out of the doorway, he said coldly, "Pigheaded!"
At this time, she was still obsessed with August, which really degraded herselfl Now in front of the family's interests, she still thought about romance. She was really hopeless! Originally, he wanted to accompany her to the hospital, but when he saw her like this, he immediately dismissed the idea. He walked to the door, coughed lightly, then looked at his man and ordered in a cold voice, "Take her to the hospital later. Keep an eye on her, bring her back after the examination, and bring back the examination results.”
The man immediately nodded and answered, "Yes." After doing all this, he stepped directly away. Soon, everything was ready. Accompanied by the maid who had often taken care of her and, Jeanne was taken to the Austos City People's Hospital by Martin's men escort.

Half an hour ago, Lucia had already arrived at the People's Hospital. She explained the situation to the relevant personnel and waited on the sidelines.
Since Olivia had met with Lucia yesterday, she had given Lucia a few people to assist her in finding August's whereabouts together, and also told her where and when she had last seen Burton, so that she could check and find clues in passing. She learned that Burton had appeared in the People's Hospital half a month ago and was caught on camera. But she didn't know what happened later. She followed his trace, but it was as if he had vanished, never to be found again.
This was something that Olivia didn't find when she went along to check. After Lucia learned it from those few men, she wanted to check on herself the scene where Burton last appeared to see if she could find any clues.
When she was thinking, the room door opened. A woman in a nurse's uniform walked in, looked at her and said, "Our surveillance was supposed to be cleared every seven days, but last time someone came over to check. We were afraid of getting involved in some important case, so backed up. Come with me."
Once Lucia heard this, she immediately nodded and followed the nurse. As she walked into the centralized control room of the hospital, she could not help but take a deep breath when she saw that the entire two walls of the large room were displaying the monitoring screens. All the surveillance in the hospital was here. The nurse who was leading the way in the front walked up to the computer and spoke to the staff, then nodded at Lucia and left.
When the staff learned her intention, they took out a small USB drive from the drawer, plugged it into the computer, and called up the screen.
Soon, a screen popped up on the computer screen. It was on the elevator, and there were several people inside. The elevator door was about to close, and just then, a man suddenly walked in. He was wearing a hospital gown. His hair was a little long in front of his forehead, and because it wasn't taken care, it was a little messy covering his eyes. But even so, Lucia recognized at once that the man was none other than Burton!
Soon, the video ended, followed by another picture popped up on the screen. In the hospital lobby, Burton slightly bowed his head, walking forward at a rapid pace. He seemed to be chased. After taking few steps, he looked over his shoulder in some panic then quickened his pace...
After watching several surveillance pictures of Burton, Lucia fell into deep thought and did not speak for a long time. Now, there were only two pieces of information available to her. One was that Burton wearing a hospital gown, then that meant he might be injured and hospitalized in the hospital. Another was that according to the surveillance screen, it seemed that there were some people chasing him, and he seemed to be running away from those people.
After thinking for a moment, she still had not figured anything out. She raised her eyes to the staff at the side and said softly, "Please give me a copy of the video, could you?"
Now although there were no clues, this trip was not in vain. She could take a copy of the video back and watch over and over again. There might be new discoveries.
