Chapter 361: DON'T TOUCH THEM
On the other hand, Hailee could only shake her head at the antiques of the two brothers. Who would have thought that the two of them could be like that?
Hailee felt lucky to be able to see another side of the Tordoff brothers.
And five minutes later, the car carrying Ramon and Lexus left the Tordoff residence, amid Lexus grumbling, while a driver took Lexus' car to his office.
After a small commotion that morning, Hailee was planning to sort things out with Aileen, but then she found soone staring at her from a distance, and now she was walking closer.
"Mother?" Hailee looked at Lis who was approaching her.
This morning Lis ca up to her to say that she was going sowhere to calm down and rethink her actions so far.
Actually, to be honest, Hailee didn't bla Lis for this tragedy at all.
Yes, Lis indeed had an illicit relationship with Leon and even that relationship had been going on for decades and the fact that Lexus was not a Tordoff was sothing that couldn't be denied from that complicated relationship.
However, Lis seed to know nothing about Leon's plans that fateful night.
And even though Lis had done sothing that wasn't exactly good, she couldn't possibly harm her own children.
Hailee could see the sincerity in Lis' eyes when she asked herself to watch over Ramon and Lexus during her absence.
Sadness radiated from every inch of her being, and Hailee couldn't think of a single word to converse under such circumstances and conditions.
Therefore, all she could do was listen to what Lis wanted to say.
She didn't know for how long Lis would be gone, because even Lis herself didn't know about it. But for sure, after all the trouble here was over, Lis would co back…
Hailee knew that it was Ramon who had asked Lis to leave and not to interfere in this one matter.
Even though it seed rude and cold, Hailee understood that this was what was best for them. Lis wouldn't want to see the man she loved being destroyed by her own child, so not knowing this at all was the best choice.
'I'm sorry.'
Lis whispered those words as she hugged Hailee before she said goodbye to the girl.
That one word 'sorry' held so many anings for Lis. That very one word couldn't even describe how sorry she was for what had happened to Hailee and all the bad things she had to go through because of Leon.
She also said one word of apology for forgiveness from her future grandson who had not been born into the world.
No one knew about this, but Lis had even started buying baby clothes for her grandchild. Only, she had to save those tiny clothes for now because who knows when she would get a chance to take them out again…
"We're here," Pyro said, informing Hailee who had been daydreaming along the way.
Now they have arrived at the police station, where they detained Aileen.
Hailee's previously bad mood got better after she thought about how Aileen's misery would comfort her after knowing what would happen to her later.
"Let's et my adopted sister." Hailee then stepped out of the car with a light feeling.
Indeed the journey to teach those who had hurt her a lesson would be long and tiring, and no matter how much Hailee or Ramon retaliated against, or how bad the revenge was, it would never be worth what they had been put through.

Aidan was standing in front of a hospital door, behind which he knew was the one woman he loved, Zia.
He had waited so long for this opportunity, to be able to et Zia after the last incident that happened.
Aidan had also repeatedly tried to contact Zia, only she didn't seem to be holding her phone any longer. The number was inactive and could never be reached.
Therefore, the only way to talk to Zia was to et her face to face like this.
It was just that, having co this far and having gone through all sorts of trouble to get ti out of his father's strict watch, Aidan felt like a loser. He didn't even have the courage to open the door and face Zia head-on.
Aidan gripped the flowers in his hand tightly. His face looked very tense and his body was shaking.
Luckily, from the past two days, Diego no longer placed any guards outside as he saw his daughter becoming increasingly stable.
Physically, Zia had indeed healed, but there were so invisible wounds that needed to be healed as well, that was the reason why Zia was still in this hospital.
Aidan stared at the doorknob in his hand, he just had to push the door and finally et the woman he had been missing for weeks.
But… where did all of Aidan's courage go?
It couldn't go on like this.
Then in a single breath, Aidan finally got the courage to push the door open.
Imdiately, he could hear soone's voice humming softly. Zia's voice. Of course Aidan imdiately recognized the voice.
But, as soon as Zia saw who had entered her room, her hum, which sounded calm and serene until then, stopped altogether.
Zia and Aidan looked at each other, but the man couldn't even tell what Zia was thinking. They just kept staring like that for a while until the awkwardness made Zia ignore the fact that Aidan had co, and started playing with her phone…
Unbeknownst to Aidan, Zia was sending a short ssage to Ian asking him to co to the hospital and help her, because she was sure that she would not be able to drive Aidan out alone.
================
On a pleasant morning like this, Ian, who had just returned from the Arena, was still asleep. This was his second day in the ring after the long vacation he took to look after Zia which continued with his sister's rescue and then Hailee's abduction.
It felt like Ian's quiet days in the Arena had long since disappeared as all chaos had erupted in his life after he t two mysterious people who 'requested' him to do unreasonable things.
A 'request' that made him have to get involved in a complicated problem of the Tordoff family. This would have been completely unexpected had Ian not experienced it himself.
It was just that, when Ian was about to rest, his cell phone suddenly beeped, indicating an incoming ssage.
Actually, Ian wanted to ignore the ssage, but then his cell phone rang non stop, it seed that whoever was trying to reach him now had very important business with him that forced Ian to pick up the call.
Therefore, with eyes still sleepy, Ian picked it up, but the call was cut off as soon as he said the word 'hello.'
Since the phone was already in his hands, Ian opened the ssage he had previously received.
And the ssage ca from Zia. The girl asked him to co to the hospital right now…
================
Hailee t Diego in front of the interrogation room. Even though her uncle was from the military, he still had so connections within the police force.
"Is everything going smoothly?" Hailee asked Diego.
This was the first ti they had t after Hailee's kidnapping incident which resulted in her miscarriage, therefore, before discussing the crux of the matter, Diego asked Hailee's condition and made sure that she was okay.
"Of course," Diego replied, now feeling much better after seeing with his own eyes that Hailee was back to health. "If you need anything else, tell and I'll make it happen."
"For now, this is all I need," Hailee replied with a smile. "Will the transfer take place now?"
Diego nodded.
"Can I et her first?" Hailee asked.
"Of course, she's in there," Diego replied, then opened the door to the interrogation room for Hailee.
Inside the small room, Aileen sat silently, lost in thought, while her hands and feet were cuffed to the chair she was sitting on.
However, as soon as Aileen saw Hailee, her eyes imdiately beca very fierce, as if there was a fire of hatred burning in their depths.
"YOU!" Aileen scread angrily.
Seeing Aileen's overly agitated reaction, of course Hailee beca even more excited to 'talk' to her.
"Yes, ," Hailee replied with a triumphant smile on her lips, knowing that this would only drive Aileen crazy with anger and annoyance.
================
Lis was waiting for her plane to depart when soone ca and sat beside her.
"Where are you going?" Leon asked in his hoarse voice. He covered his face with a hat and mask. "I need to talk to you for a mont."
Leon couldn't possibly follow Lis out of the country, because he had an obligation to report every day and was prohibited from traveling, therefore, this was Leon's only chance to talk to Lis, before they parted.
Then, without hearing Lis' answer, Leon imdiately pulled the woman's hand to an area where there were not too many people, where they could talk more freely.
"Where are you going? Is it Ramon who wants to send you away?" asked Leon impatiently. He imdiately ca to this airport after hearing the news of Lis' departure this morning. "Or did…"
But, before Leon could finish his words, Lis had raised her hand and swung it very hard across the cheek of the man in front of her.
The slap was so hard that Lis felt her hand turn numb, then hot.
However, the pain she felt now, both in her hand and heart, was not at all comparable to what Lis felt every ti she rembered that Hailee and Ramon had lost their first child because of Leon.
"How dare you harm my son!" Lis hissed fiercely while the look in her eyes turned intense as she stared at the man in front of her. "I told you not to touch them!"
