No one answered.
Gillian Thompson anxiously make multiple calls, but no one picked up.
Just then, a voice saying, “Gabriel” brought her back to her senses.
Seeing the two people in front of her, Gillian Thompson’s face changed drastically, and her voice became sharp, “Why are you here? Leave at once!”
Lily Turner’s face turned awkward, and Xander Moore’s face also darkened: “We are your parents after all. Your mother has had a hard time getting out of prison, why are you so rude!”
Gillian Thompson blanched, “I only said you should steal the cell phone, I didn’t say you should kidnap her.”
“This is the Thompson Group’s building. My dad and my brothers could come out at any time and see you. So, follow me.”
In her urgency to lead them away, Gillian Thompson on her wheelchair moved about a hundred meters away, but they were still staying at the same spot.
By this time, people were already coming out of the building one after another.
Rush hour was upon them!
Gillian screamed anxiously, “What are you standing around for?! Hurry up!”
But no matter how she shouted, Lily Turner and Xander Moore stood still.
Gillian had no choice but to go back, with anger all over her face.
“What do you really want?”
Seeing Lily’s face, which looked worse than the last time, Gillian sighed and said, “I know you’re upset with me because I haven’t contacted you all these days, but I’m having a hard time myself. You can’t possibly want me to be kicked out by Daniel, can you?”
Lily Turner looked like she wanted to say something, but Xander Moore interjected, addressing Gillian, “Do you have one hundred fifty thousand dollars?”
“One hundred fifty thousand dollars?!”
It’s not a small amount, especially since her spending had greatly reduced after she voluntarily surrendered her cards.
While her second brother did give her a card, every time she spends money, a text message would be sent to his cell phone. A sum as large as this would certainly attract the attention of her second brother.
“What do you need that much money for?” Gillian furrowed her brows. “Didn’t I give you money before? Fifteen thousand dollars, which is more than enough for you to live for several years.”
She has calculated that in the rural area their expenses wouldn’t be much. Fifteen thousand, would be more than enough to live on, not to mention the red packets she generously gave them on festivals and other occasions.
Lily Turner’s eyes immediately turned red and tears began to fall one by one. Eventually, she couldn’t help but weep aloud.
“Your younger brother has leukemia. The doctor says the treatment and surgery will cost at least one hundred fifty thousand dollars.”
As soon as she was released from prison, she learned this heartbreaking news, and she cried at home for a day.
To birth a son, they went through great lengths, even if it meant sending Gillian away.
This son was brought into the world at the expense of their daughter. At their age, the son was their life and they absolutely cannot abandon him!
Treat him! No matter how much money it costs, they must treat him!
Thinking of the pain her son was going through, Lily Turner’s crying grew louder.
As more people gathered around, Gillian’s heart sank: “We can discuss about the money. Follow me.”
Any further delays might not only lead to the Thompson family finding out, but also others in the company.
The Thompson family has always believed that her parents were dead. If they find out her parents are alive, next time, they might just send her back home rather than the old house.
Seeing that she was willing to offer the money, Lily Turner, who was out of breath from crying, and Xander Moore looked at each other and finally followed behind Gillian.
Just after a few steps, a voice calling “Gabriel” startled all three of them.
Without turning his eye, Daniel came up to Gillian, smiling brightly: “Here, let dad push your wheelchair.”
Although he knew it was an electric wheelchair, Daniel was in high spirits and wanted to show off. He couldn’t think of anything else other than pushing the wheelchair himself.
He was beyond happy today!
Even though his wife was still giving him the cold shoulder, his daughter made him proud by winning a great face for him.
This time, his company has effectively established a tie with the “W” organization. Anyone wanting to pull any tricks behind his back would have to think twice.
Seeing Daniel, Gillian Thompson’s faced turned as white as a sheet.
Fortunately, Lily and Xander were far enough away that Daniel didn’t connect them to her.
Seeing Gillian’s pale face and her silence, Daniel arched his brows, just as he was about to ask, a timid voice rose from the side.
“You Are Are you Daniel Thompson?”
Lily Turner was nervously wringing her hands, looking at the middle-aged man in a tailored suit, she was tongue-tied.
Gillian hadn’t expected her to initiate a conversation.
Seeing this, alarms started ringing in Gillian’s head, she felt as if all the blood in her body had frozen.
Daniel Thompson looked at Lily Turner and the middle-aged man with a sullen face, his gaze piercing.
“Who are you?”
He took a second look at Xander Moore, whose forehead had been split open by deep wrinkles, his stubble was not shaved clean, and his dark face looked like it had been weathered by wind and rain. This was a very common face, like that of an ordinary worker. But this face seemed somewhat familiar, as if
He turned back to look at Gillian, only to find her shoulders shivering with tension.
Gillian was staring at the ground, too scared to look up.
Lily Turner glanced at Gillian and bit her lip. A hint of regret showed up on her face.
Before coming here, she had told her husband that she wanted to bring Gillian home.
They had heard that the Thompson family wanted to send Gillian back to the old house, a secluded and desolate place. Assuming Gillian dies there, no one would even know.
Instead of letting her daughter go to such a place, she would rather acknowledge her daughter and bring her back home.
“You are Gabriel’s foster father, aren’t you?”
As soon as Lily Turner’s words came out, the atmosphere immediately turned cold.
