Chapter 181
Henry grimaced, and he tightened his fist slowly. “Come back when I’m dead.”
“Henry, do you know why I’ve been making so many compromises over the years? It’s all for you to live well. Spike is crazy. He will stop at nothing to achieve his goals. Moreover, he doesn’t regard anyone as a human being, even his family. Everyone is a chess piece to him,” Hazel said. Spike was indeed crazy. He would find a way to get rid of anyone who hindered him.
Hazel knew this well, so she had been catering to him all these years.
“You two are a perfect match. Henry faked a smile.
“Henry,” Hazel frowned. “I know you’re angry with me, but I’m your mother, after all. I’m the only person in the world who won’t hurt you.”
Henry found it ironic.
“Listen to me. I already have a lot of evidence about Spike’s crimes. This man is too vigilant. When the time is right, we will find a way to trick Spike together and send him to jail, and then no one can threaten you again,” Hazel continued nervously before she repeated, “Henry, you have to listen to me.”
Henry glanced at Hazel coldly. “If 1 listen to you, will you give me the evidence of his crimes?”
“It’s not the right time now. Hazel smiled and seemed to be satisfied with Henry’s response. “This man is very sly and. cu nning. If we alerted him, he’d surely find a way to escape. Do you know why didn’t he go to jail after doing so many illegal things over the years? Because someone is always taking the fall for him.”
Henry knew about that.
“I’m still looking for an opportunity. You must endure it these days, be good, and listen to him, okay?” Hazel stared at Hen with a meaningful look. They looked like the perfect image of a kind mother and a dutiful son.
Unfortunately, both of them had hidden agendas.
When Hazel left, Henry felt disgusted and was deeply repulsed by his mother’s so-called love.
“If she hadn’t left me in the orphanage… Hal How ironic!” Henry thought.
Now that she had returned, she felt that her son was more useful now.
From beginning to end, Henry was just a chess piece for Hazel.
Hazel and Spike were the same kinds of people.
They should be together and not harm others anymore.
In the eyes of Hazel and Spike, a son was only a chess piece that could be used.
Did it look like Spike treated Quinton overly well? To others, it did seem like Spike was thinking about Quinton’s sake every time and wanted to leave everything to Quinton.
Indeed, Spike was very biased towards Quinton, but only when Quinton was obedient.
Assuming one day Quinton suddenly rebelled and made the perfect image Spike so carefully maintained collapse, which in turn caused Spike to fail to take over the Taibbi family legitimately, would Spike still favor Quinton so much?
Henry knew the answer was no.

Henry also knew that Hazel bad been looking for opportunities to attack Quinton.
He was waiting to see how far Quinton and Spike could keep up their appearances.
Josie ate until she was full. She got out of bed and walked around her ward.
Samuel accompanied her and walked around the room, too.
“Why are you following me?” Josie was amused by Samuel.
“I’m afraid you’ll fall.” Samuel looked vigilant.
Josie felt helpless. “Don’t treat me as a patient…”
She felt fine.
Samuel nodded. “It’s hard to digest after eating too much. Do you feel like vomiting?”
Π
“I feel amazing. I don’t feel like vomiting after eating Mrs. Turner’s cooking. Josie forced a smile even though her face was terribly pale.
The gauze was still wrapped around her forehead. Josie’s wound healed a little slower than ordinary people’s
I’m glad you like it. My mother will come every day. If you feel troubled, please tell me. I won’t let her come.” Samuel was afraid of increasing the burden on Josie.
Tlike Mrs. Turner very much.” Josie was actually looking forward to Tania’s visit.
Josie lost her parents at age 15, and George and Tania had always been very good to her.
When she was 15 or 16, she liked visiting Samuel’s house.
But later, when Josie grew up, she was afraid of causing trouble to others, so she rarely went there anymore.
“It’s a good day tomorrow. Can I take you to the garden downstairs for a walk? Samuel suggested to Josie. After all, the hospital director said it was good for Josie to take walks under the sun.
It was important that she kept a good mood and a healthy body for her upcoming treatment.
Her treatment this time could not be delayed for the time being.
“Can you accompany me?” Josie was a little afraid of seeing people for fear everyone would gossip behind her back.
Samuel knew what Josie was afraid of and nodded. “Of course, I will accompany you.
At Ashley’s ward, Thomas was sitting outside, anxious.
After so many days, Ashley showed no signs of waking up.
He was really afraid that Ashley would die.
Thomas’ eyes were red and swollen, and his hands were trembling.
“How could this happen? Hadn’t everything gone to plan? Why hadn’t Ashley woken up yet? The doctor had said that it was very likely that she won’t wake up. What does it mean? No, no. Don’t tell me it’s true. She will wake up. How can she keep sleeping here like this?” Thomas thought worriedly.
“What’s wrong?” “Hazel came over and saw Thomas trembling and his eyes red.

The doctor said that Ashley may never wake up.” Thomas voice quivered.
Hazel didn’t think much of it. Of course, she knew what condition Ashley was now in.
Ashley was lucky to be alive.
47
“Don’t worry. There could be miracles,” Hazel reassured Thomas sofily. The latter was currently useful to the former. “Have you found out the things I told you to do?”
“Yes… Josie has acute promyelocytic leukemia M3. Her condition is worsening, and she needs to be treated as soon as possible. She will have a joint-specialist consultation next month, which is also her best treatment time. The latest treatment method will be used. The cure rate is 90% when she is treated in the best period.
As Thomas reported his findings, his voice was still trembling. “Josie’s illness is not serious at all! She would be fine, but how about Ashley? Will she need to lie in the ward forever, tubes from the medical equipment stuck in her to keep her alive? No! This is unfair Thomas raged inwardly.
Thomas m entality began to warp.
“What if she missed the best time for treatment?” Hazel asked in a deep voice.
Thomas was stunned and looked up at Hazel in astonishment.
Josie’s the one who caused all this to Ashley. Now, Ashley could only lie here in pain. Why should Josie live well?” Hazel sighed. “Ashley loves to make herself look pretty. How can she allow herself to lie here like this until she dies?” she added.
At that. Thomas eyes became redder, and he clenched his hands more tightly.
“Josie deserves to die. Thomas snarled in a trembling voice.
Hazel didn’t say anything more. Thomas should know what to do
“Your feelings for Ashley deeply move me.” Hazel sighed before the continued, “Once, there was also a man who was willin to kill for me, regardless of anything… Even if I didn’t love him then, in retrospect, he was the person I should have loved
most
Thomas looked at Hazel nervously and then looked at Ashley.
*If… I do this much for Ashley. When she wakes up, would she be moved and love me?” Thomas hoped inwardly.
Thomas looked down at the ground and thought. “I don’t need her to love me. I just want her to wake up soon.”
