In Deep City!
The atmosphere in the small house beca even more intense.
Lori sat on a small sofa quietly. She lowered her head and kept rubbing the corner of her clothes. She also looked up at Bruce in secret from ti to ti.
In the past, Lori felt that her small house was warm and spacious. It was comfortable to live here.
Now she felt that it was intense here and she wanted to leave.
Lori turned around and took a deep breath quietly. Then she felt better.
Bruce didn’t say anything. He just sat on the bed quietly.
The bed was big enough for two people to sleep on, but now Bruce alone occupied the bed.
Finally, when Lori was about to fall asleep, soone knocked on the door. "I’ll open the door!"
Lori stood up from the sofa. She was excited. Before Bruce could say anything, she rushed to the door and opened the door without checking.
In the past, she never dared to open the door at midnight. Even if soone knocked on the door, she would have pretended not to hear.
But today, Lori found the knock on the door pleasant.
Lori saw Mr. Douglas at the door. He was middle-aged and looked serious. Lori bowed to him.
"Hello, Mr. Douglas."
Lori’s voice was clear and bright. Bruce was attracted.
Jack Douglas wiped the sweat off his forehead. He did not even look at Lori and said, "Hello. Where is Mr. Anderson?"
Jack was sleeping when Lori called him. He wanted to scold Lori, but it turned out to be Mr. Anderson.
He was so frightened that he got up quickly.
"He’s inside."
Lori turned to the side and pointed inside.
She knew Jack. He was the general manager of the branch in Deep City.
Except for Bruce, Jack was her top superior in this city.
They could fire her at any ti.
Jack didn’t care about Lori at all. He hurriedly entered the room.
This was an old apartnt. It took Jack a long ti to find the apartnt. He stopped his car at the alley and ran here.
To Lori, Jack was his boss. But now Jack stood obediently by the bed. He did not even dare to look at Mr. Anderson. He bent down and said respectfully, "Mr. Anderson!"
Although Jack did not know why Bruce was here, he knew the news from the headquarters that Mr. Anderson was missing.
Bruce did not even appear in the hospital when Mrs. Anderson gave birth. But now he was in a small house with an intern assistant of the Anderson Group.
Jack did not dare to imagine wild. He had to report to the headquarters every month, so he was familiar with Bruce.
But Jack still felt like dreaming. Although he would not be too nervous and tremble every ti he t Mr. Anderson, he was nervous now and he was sweating.
Bruce looked cold when he looked at Jack.
Bruce said expressionlessly, "Do you have a free house here?"
Jack was stunned. Although he did not understand why, he quickly replied, "Yes. It’s not far from here. It’s an apartnt with two bedrooms."
"Take there!"
It was obvious that Bruce had been in Lori’s ho for so ti.
This room was very small. He could barely move when he was unconscious. Now that he was awake, he could not stay here anymore.
Jack was stunned again. He turned around and looked at Lori. Then he replied, "Mr. Anderson, here is a little far from the entrance of the alley. Should I ask the bodyguards to co over first?"
Jack could tell that Bruce was weak now and could hardly move.
He didn’t know what had happened to Bruce in the past few months, but he could tell that Bruce didn’t want to stay with Lori. Jack wasn’t gossipy.
And most gossipers didn’t end well.
"Co back in half an hour!"
Bruce replied.
Seeing that Bruce was in a hurry to leave, Jack did not dare to delay. He quickly went out and contacted the bodyguards.
It was impossible for Jack to carry Bruce all the way to the car.
Jack wasn’t that powerful.
Until Bruce was taken out of the apartnt by two bodyguards, Lori still didn’t know what was going on. But when Jack left, he looked at her and said, "How lucky you are! You have a promising future."
Lori could not understand Jack’s words.
So she saved Mr. Anderson, took care of him for a few months, and woke him up.
Lori thought to herself, "Did I just make a great contribution?"
...
In the Anderson Group!
After the press conference, the dia had much to report.
The news that Mrs. Anderson gave birth to twins, whose father was unknown soon beca a hot topic.
"Pregnant wife was found cheating by the husband. The wife was afraid of being abandoned and killed her husband. She gave birth to unknown children to inherit the huge inheritance."
It seed like a dramatic story of a rich family.
And it involved sches, drama, family fights, and counterattacks.
Compared to the news that Mr. Anderson was missing or died, the netizens were more interested in the drama of the Anderson Group.
Margaret saw the comnts on the Internet and quarreled with the netizens. She was so angry that she almost broke the sofa.
Halle ca out of the kitchen and shook her head when she saw that Margaret was furious.
Although the comnts attacked Hilla, they at least distracted their attention from the Anderson Group.
Few people paid attention to the Anderson Group. They were more curious about the story of the Anderson family.
The netizens with wild imaginations started to write short stories about Mrs.
Anderson.
Hilla looked pale and she was unconscious. There was cold sweat all over her forehead. Horton checked her and fed her the dicine.
Halle ca in. She put aside the porridge she had just cooked and said, "Does she still have a high fever?"
On the way back from the press conference, Hilla had a high fever, but they couldn’t send her to the hospital at that ti.
Seeing Hilla lying in the bed, pale and weak, Halle was heartbroken.
Hilla just had a cesarean and she was too weak. Halle only hoped that the Anderson
family could survive the hardship and Bruce could co back early!
...
Halle covered Hilla with a quilt and wiped the cold sweat from her forehead with a towel.
Halle did not turn around and looked at Horton. She knew he would not leave.
"Don’t worry. I’ve fed her so dicine. A nurse will co to give her a drip later. Hilla is weak and her wound broke again. After the fever goes down, she will recover soon after a good rest."
Horton was very clear about Hilla’s health situation. She took the cesarean section three days ago and struggled to attend a press conference. It was very likely that her suture would rupture.
Hilla had a high fever after coming back. So Halle was worried that her wound was infected.
Although it was dangerous for a new mother to have a high fever, the Anderson family was powerful enough to save Hilla.
The dical team arranged by Orlenna would co soon. As long as her fever went down, Hilla could recover and take a good rest like other new mothers.
Halle let out a sigh of relief. She turned to Horton and said, "Thank you."
She was sincere and Horton looked at her gently.
Halle felt the deep affection in his eyes and lowered her head.
"I have to trouble you to take care of Hilla these days."
"This is what I should do," Horton replied in a low voice. Then he seed to think of sothing and added, "It’s not just because she is Bruce’s wife or I’m Bruce’s good friend, but also because..."
Before Horton could finish, Orlenna opened the bedroom door. She just hurried back from outside.
Seeing that Hilla was lying unconsciously on the bed, Orlenna asked anxiously, "How is Hilla? Is she okay?"
Orlenna walked to the bed. She touched Hilla’s forehead and imdiately withdrew. She turned to look at Horton, "It’s so hot. What happened?"
"Hilla had a fever on the way back."
Halle pursed her lips and said in a low voice. She was also in a panic at that ti.
Fortunately, Horton went to the press conference too.
Halle and Horton hurriedly brought Hilla back.
If Mrs. Anderson went to the hospital at this ti, there would be more rumors.
"Why did she have a fever? Was it because of the wound?"
Orlenna looked at Hilla nervously. She was anxious and worried. Then she felt dizzy.
Fortunately, Horton reacted quickly and fed her a pill.
Orlenna’s anxiety gave more burdens to her blood pressure and heart.
"Bruce hasn’t returned yet. I won’t allow anything to happen to Hilla again."
Otherwise, she didn’t know how she and her grandsons could live.
Halle patted Orlenna on her back and handed her a cup of water, "Don’t worry. Hilla is very strong. She will be fine."
"I’m sorry, Ms. Holt. We did not take good care of Hilla."
Orlenna looked at Halle, almost cried.
It was a hard ti for the Anderson family.
"Hilla said that she was happy in the Anderson family. You always treat her as your daughter. She feels that she is more favored than Margaret."
Halle comforted Orlenna. Her voice was soft and gentle. "I will take good care of Hilla. Please take a good rest!" "No. I’ll stay and take care of her."
Halle smiled and said, "There are so many servants at ho. There is no need for you to take care of Hilla. I actually can do little. Hilla will be distressed if she wakes up and finds you like this."
Orlenna still wanted to say sothing, but the servant outside ca in a hurry. She had to go back to the Anderson Group again.
The shareholders of the Anderson Group requested to hold a shareholder eting.
Orlenna knew it would be hard to deal with them.
"Please take care of Hilla!"
Orlenna cald down. Thanks to Horton, she was much better. She was too anxious just now.
Halle nodded and said, "You are welco. Hilla is my younger sister. I must take care of her."
Orlenna pursed her lips and said, "Fortunately, Hilla has you."
Margaret had helped taking care of Hilla silently. She thought that they would find her different, but she was completely ignored.
Margaret ca over and complained, "Mom, didn’t you see ? I’m also here taking care of Hilla. I boiled this water and cooked the porridge. And I kept wiping her sweat."
Margaret thought to herself, "Did you see what I had done?"
Orlenna sighed helplessly and looked at Margaret perfunctorily, "I know. Stay here and take good care of Hilla."
Orlenna hurried to the Anderson Group. She had to handle the tricky problem in the company.
In the shareholders eting room of the office building.
A lot of shareholders had rushed here. They looked a bit depressed and whispered to each other occasionally.
As soon as Orlenna ca in, they stopped talking and looked at her. "Madam!"
Although Orlenna was Bruce’s mother, Tyree had also asked her to manage the Anderson Group when Bruce was unconscious.
So shareholders had a good relationship with Orlenna. Orlenna was born in a military and political family. Even if she was a widow now, her identity was different from other won.
However, no matter how noble Orlenna was, she was still Bruce’s mother.
People would judge it if the Anderson Group fell into the hands of two widows.
Orlenna looked around at the shareholders who were each on behalf of their own interest. Then she sat on the chair at the front.
"The Anderson Group has just held a press conference. I wonder if you have any objections to this press conference and hold the board eting urgently."
Orlenna wasn’t polite. She asked directly after sitting down.
Suddenly, half of the shareholders stopped talking. One of the shareholders, Tom Black, said, "Madam, please don’t misunderstand us. We don’t have any ill will. We just want to ask about Mr. Anderson. He had been missing for a long ti. We want an explanation."
Orlenna couldn’t satisfy them with the word she said at the press conference. "Explanation? What kind of explanation do you want?" Orlenna sneered and looked around at everyone.
"Mr. Anderson has been missing for a long ti. Is he dead or alive? What will the Anderson Group do in the future? We want an explanation!"
"Is the Anderson Group going to go bankrupt without Bruce? I’m afraid you’ve forgotten that Bruce has two sons."
Orlenna’s voice was low and deep. She was warning the directors. But they didn’t buy it.
No matter how powerful Orlenna was, she was still a woman. "Madam, we are happy that there are two heirs. But we also heard about the rumors. I’m afraid that the
identities of the children need to be verified."
Even if they were Bruce’s sons, what could they do? They couldn’t give orders while they were still wearing diapers.
