The Tordoffs were one of the Top elites in town A! How could Hailee be so stupid as to forget this!?
Instantly Hailee could feel the adrenaline-racing in her veins so fast it made her head spin a little.
"Are you okay?" Although Lis Tordoff's voice sounded gentle, her sharp eyes suggested that she was investigating something from the young girl before her. "You look pale."
"I'm fine…" Hailee shook her head, she stared at her intertwined fingers on her lap. She didn't know what to say now.
How could her fate be so unlucky like this ?!
Lis Tordoff then sighed softly, hearing this Hailee felt terrified as her mind started to think all kinds of bad things. This woman must have found out her lie.
Ramon Tordoff was one of the most famous bachelors in town A, compared to his younger brother, Lexus Tordoff, who always changed a new woman every week, Ramon's love life was almost unheard of at all, even his personal life was rarely exposed.
"Regarding the relationship between you and Ramon…" Lis started, but Hailee immediately cut her words off.
"I am sorry!" Hailee immediately lowered her head solemnly, like someone asking for forgiveness, "I didn't mean to do that and claim to be Ramon's fiancé!"
Having a problem with Roland Dimatrio alone had turned Hailee's life upside down, now on the top of it, if she had to deal and face the wrath of the Tordoffs, there will be no safe place for Hailee, maybe even to the end of the world.
Hailee really couldn't think straight right now.
However, unexpectedly, Lis rubbed the side of Hailee's face gently, instead of slapping her for her fake admittance to being her son's fiancé.
"I agree with the relationship between you two,"Lis said.
"Huh?" What?
Upon hearing this acceptance, a surprised Hailee lifted her eyes to look directly at this elegant woman in front of her.
Hailee was dumbfounded when she saw Lis's facial expression softening with the tears she was trying to stop from falling.
Was this woman going to cry? But why? Moved?
Ugh! What was wrong with this woman?
"Sorry… I don't understand…" Hailee asked timidly, looking at Lis warily. Could this be a trap? But why would a woman like Lis Tordoff set her up?
Lis took a deep breath, after what seemed like forever and when she took long enough to calm down, she looked a little relaxed. "I know your relationship with Ramon is not going well because of my opposition, but now I will no longer interfere with your relationship."
Eh? What did she mean by saying all these?
Hailee blinked repeatedly, trying to digest what Lis was trying to say.
And from what Hailee caught from Lis' monologue explanation of her regret at having opposed Ramon' and his 'lover' relationship, Hailee can conclude several things;
First, Ramon already had a secret relationship with a woman whose name was unknown to Lis. Lis was against this because she already had another candidate she wanted to match her first son with.
Second, Lis had never been able to get any information about the woman Ramon had been dating for the past two years because Ramon was very secretive about his personal life and not very open, even to his mother and brother.
Third, it seems that before Ramon's accident, he had been missing for two days with the intention of marrying his lover and bringing their relationship to the public.
Of course all of these incidents were handled carefully by Lis so that they didn't leak to the mass media, or else they wouldn't be in this cafeteria and talking casually.
"I will agree to Ramon's decision," Lis shook her head. "I will have a wedding party for both of you when Ramon is well. Whatever the decision this time, I will agree. "
Hha? She must be kidding, right?
Hailee frowned thinking hard about this sudden turn of events. It appaered that this misunderstanding had really went too far already.
"Sorry Mrs. Tordoff, but I…" Hailee's words were interrupted when the Bodyguard approached Lis and informed about Ramon's current condition.
"The operation had been completed smoothly and Mr. Ramon has been transferred to the ward," he said in a deep voice.
However, what Hailee was thinking about right now was how she could straighten the tangled threads that were getting more and more chaotic. She was really confused where to start.
In addition, Hailee was curious about what exactly Taylor had said to Alex so that he can drive them away without even putting forth any meaningful effort.
Didn't Alex tell Taylor that his boss was with a killer? If that was what Alex said, it was certain that Hailee would have been arrested right now, but if not… why did Alex hide it? Wasn't he sent to catcher himself?
Not to mention the problem that when Ramon finally wake up, it was certain that Hailee will really be in a dark puddle from where she wouldn't be able to save herself again.
"Well, Taylor you can take care of all that ..."Lis said to the bodyguard named Taylor. And, because Hailee was too busy thinking through her current situation, she missed most of their conversation. Lis turned to her and said, "Come on, Hailee."
Hailee had a slow reaction to Lis's invitation, but when she replied, what came out of her lips were stupid words. "To where?"
Lis raised an eyebrow, but then smiled. "No need to be too embarrassed to be with Mother, we have plenty of time to get to know each other."
'Or maybe you shouldn't have to know me at all. 'Hailee thought, grimacing when she couldn't refuse Lis's invitation to leave the cafeteria, even though Hailee was only able to take few sips from her drink and Lis's was not even touched at all.
"Hailee, I like your name," Lis said softly. It looked like she was trying hard to make up for what she had done to her son, by behaving and treating Hailee as best she could, but this will become a boomerang for Hailee someday.
"Thank you," Hailee replied quietly.
They finally made their way back to the hospital just as the sun was about to set, a dazzling golden light shining across the western horizon, piercing through the leafy strands.
Meanwhile, Hailee was dragging her steps heavily while wondering what choice she currently had. Of course, escaping the big-shots, Tordoff as well as Dimatrio, was the absolute plan Hailee had to follow up.
After the two of them reached the VVIP room of the hospital, Taylor pushed the door open for the two of them and Lis' next words made Hailee even more uneasy.
"You can spend the night here for a while, if you need anything Taylor will be just outside," said Lis.
