She became angry.
Coral didn’t know what happened. She didn’t have the heart to disappoint Amanda. When they were bathing Cotton, Amanda kept nagging to buy something for Cotton. Hence, she tried to convince Loredana. “The kids want to go out indeed. We can take them out shopping. The driver and I can take good care of them.”
Loredana didn’t agree. Looking up at Coral, she insisted, “They’d better stay home recently.”
Before Coral spoke again, Loredana interrupted her, “I’m going out now. The driver will send me there. Let the kids stay home today.”
After finishing her words, she stood up and walked upstairs. She was still wearing casual clothes at home. She decided to go out after watching the news. Last night, Cormac told her that Theresa had escaped. She wondered if something had happened and he dared not to tell her about the details.
She couldn’t feel easy unless she got to know the details.
Coral was an understanding person. Since Loredana insisted, she couldn’t keep convincing her. She walked to Amanda’s room to coax her. Andrew heaved a sigh. He poured a bowl of dog food in front of Cotton, squatted down, and rubbed his head. “How happy you are!”
Cotton could be a worry-free dog as long as the master provided it with the food.
If Cotton had known what was in Andrew’s mind, it must tell him that a dog had its worries, too. It needed to please the master and always worried that if it would be dumped.
A pet dog’s life wasn’t easy either. It wasn’t living as so happily as the human had imagined.
Loredana walked downstairs, only to find Andrew was feeding Cotton. She said, “Go coax your sister.”
Andrew raised his head and looked at her. “I’ll take care of her. Don’t worry.”
Loredana walked over to kiss him on his cheek. Andrew was way too sensible. “Thank you, my son.”
“If you have time later, you’d better take her to the pet store. The Frontline for Cotton has been used up. We need to get some,” said Andrew.
Loredana had never had a pet, so she didn’t know what he referred to. She asked, “Is Cotton sick?”
Andrew answered jokingly, “Mommy, there’s something that you don’t know!”
Loredana pinched his ear gently with a fierce look. “It’s not easy for me to bring you guys up. How could I have time and money to keep a pet for you?”
Andrew kept begging. “Mommy, my bad, my bad. That’s not a medicine to cure any disease. It’s for expelling the parasite. Someone brought us that thing. There was a little left. After bathing him, we’ve used it up.”
Any family keeping pets should have the medicine for expelling parasites at home, especially if there were any kids in the family. Dogs could get lice and fleas in their hair easily. If the medicine wasn’t used, the lice and fleas would get into the kids’ hair as well as in the house.
Loredana patted him on his head. “When your Daddy is free, ask him to take you guys there.”
“Okay. Mommy, will you go with us then?” Andrew asked with a smile.
“Of course. Now I need to go out to deal with something, bye.” Loredana stood up. Andrew said bye to her obediently. She waved her hand to him, changed her shoes, and walked out of the door. She didn’t take anything when leaving last time, so she didn’t lack anything at home.
The driver walked over, opened the rear door for her, and asked respectfully, “Mrs. Mendelsohn, where are we going?”
Loredana thought for a moment. “The company.”
The driver closed the door and trotted forward to the driver’s seat.
The car was parked in front of the company entrance quickly. Loredana didn’t get off right away. On the way, she hadn’t figured out what she would do and wondered if Cormac was in the company. Pulling out her cell phone, she was about to call Boyce. She believed that she might get more reliable information from Boyce than that from Cormac.
She knew that Cormac didn’t want her to worry about this matter, but Theresa wasn’t an outsider to her. Instead, she had been treating Theresa as her family. Besides, Theresa was kidnapped because of her.
When she dialed Boyce’s number, put the phone next to her ear, and waited for the call to be connected, another car was pulled over next to hers. The door of the car was immediately opened, and a man in a suit got off. He turned around and walked into the company. Loredana saw his face clearly.
She gaped. It was him.00000
The man, who had appeared in City C and whose name was Declan Bailey as Loredana guessed, now showed up here. She wondered if he came for Cormac. Right then, the call on her phone was connected. She heard Boyce’s voice. “Hello?”
Since Loredana used a new number that she started to use after moving to City C, so Boyce saw it as an unknown number on the phone.
Loredana pinched the cell phone. “What on earth happened Theresa?”
Boyce seemed to be startled at this voice. After a pause, he answered, “She’s in a hospital now.”
“Did she get hurt?” she asked nervously.
“She got some injuries and she’s on fever now. The doctor is treating her,” Boyce answered honestly.
However, when Loredana heard his words, she misunderstood.
Boyce’s answer kept reechoing in her mind.
She thought about John’s naked body, subconsciously misunderstanding that Theresa had been raped.
She looked down and asked hoarsely, “Does Armand know it?”
Boyce answered, “Yes, he does.”
“Which hospital are you guys at now?” Loredana asked in a hoarse tone.
“Are you coming over?”
“Not now. I’ll go there later.” Right now, she wanted to know why Declan came to see Cormac.
“The First People’s Hospital,” Boyce said.
“I got it. Thanks.” She hung up the phone.
Pushing the door open, she got off and said to the driver, “Please wait for me here.”
She planned to go to the hospital later.
The driver answered and parked the car in the basement garage. It was quite hot outside.
Loredana entered the lobby. Although Cormac didn’t announce her identity to the public, he had admitted her to the company. Hence, all the employees knew who she was. She wasn’t stopped but treated respectfully.
She smiled faintly to anyone who greeted her.
When she walked out of the elevator, she bumped into Abbot. Seeing her, Abbot asked with a smile, “Good day, Mrs. Mendelsohn. Are you here for Mr. Mendelsohn?”
As Cormac’s important assistant, Abbot didn’t involve in as much of Cormac’s daily life as Boyce and Armand did, but he was pretty clear about his boss’s matters.
Loredana answered, “Yeah. Is it a good time?”
Abbott said, “Mr. Mendelsohn is in the meeting with a guest now.”
“Is the guest in a silver-gray suit?” asked she.
Abbott nodded. “Have you seen Mr. Bailey?”
