Chapter 51
However, to his disappointment, the girl was not only a little embarrassed but even turned over her body for a long time when she was looking for his fare.
Haley got out of the car.
Sure enough, when she came down, she saw at a glance that the lights in the garden villa not far away had gone dark, except for a few dim street lamps in the garden standing in the cold wind and drizzle, and there were no people walking around at all.
So Roy was sleeping too?
She stood there holding an umbrella for a while, then wanted to leave.
She insisted on coming here at this time because she promised her son would come at night. She was worried that he would be like that night again. She didn’t come, and he refused to sleep and only waited in the bedroom in thin pajamas.
Then he fell ill because of it.
What about now?
Haley looked at the second floor of the villa opposite, and finally, when she was sure that there really weren’t any lights, she turned around and prepared to go back.
“Doctor Demi? Doctor Demi?”
But at this moment, a voice called her suddenly came from behind.

Haley stopped immediately, turned around, and looked at the man in surprise, ” Conte? Why are you here? Are you still awake?”
“No, I’ve been waiting for you, but fortunately, you’re here.”
Conte, who came out in the rain, was a little out of breath, but when she saw Haley coming, her face was full of smiles, as if she had finally completed a mission.
Could it be that Roy really didn’t sleep yet?
Seeing Conte, she was in a hurry and didn’t have the time to ask anymore. She took the umbrella and went in with her.
Soon, the two went to the villa together, but Haley quickly found that the light in the hall downstairs was on, but the room was still empty, and the little kid could not be seen.
What about Roy?
Haley looked at the servant, ” Conte, where’s the child?”
“Ah? Child? Do you mean little master? He’s asleep. What’s wrong? Are you looking for him?”
Conte was looking for a dry towel. She saw that Doctor Demi’s hair was all wet and her clothes were not much better. She was worried that she would catch a cold, so she went to look for a towel as soon as she came in.
Haley was stunned again!
Was Roy already asleep?
Then… she was waiting for her so late because…?
“Okay, okay, I finally found it, Doctor Demi. You take this and wipe it first. I’ll make some ginger soup for you and send it to the third floor.”
“The third floor?”
“Yeah, didn’t you come to give Mr. Black acupuncture? He should not be asleep. I heard him go into the study, but he hasn’t come out. You should hurry up. If he is not sleeping, you can treat him quickly and go home early.” Conte explained to the young doctor while urging her to get up early.
Haley finally stopped talking. It turned out that the servant waited for her on her own initiative. Maybe, it was Verna who told Conte that she would come over to give that scum acupuncture every night.
So should she go up now?
Haley didn’t want to move at all, especially when she remembered the fight they had had in his office during the day, and she was exhausted and felt numb in her chest. In terms of that man, she found that apart from disgust, she couldn’t feel anything else.
“Doctor Demi?”
“Okay, I know.”
Haley finally went up because she still thought of her son, and she had promised him that she would help his father with treatment.
Haley dragged her heavy and tired legs up the stairs step by step…
…
Third floor.
Jason didn’t sleep. He was in the study with some executives of the company on a video conference.
At eleven or twelve o’clock in the middle of the night, if he was still ill before, the company’s executives would understand him when he held such a meeting. After all, he was painful because of not being able to sleep all night, so it was normal for him to torture them.
But now it was said that they have been treated, and he recovered very well! Then why did he still do this? Didn’t he think he was too bizarre, too inhuman? !
“Mr. Black, my son is crying. Can I go and feed him some milk?”
The meeting lasted for two full hours, and it was about twelve o’clock when a senior executive who had just given birth couldn’t take it anymore. He boldly raised his hand in front of the computer and wanted to feed the child.
The screen immediately became eerily quiet.
And Jason’s handsome face turned gloomy instantly!
“You’re not a woman. What milk are you feeding?”
“No, Mr. Black, my wife hasn’t eaten anything for two hours while holding the baby. She got no milk to feed him. I have to go and feed him some milk powder.”
“…”
After five seconds, Jason slowly said, “Go away!”
So the senior quite happily.
Seeing that there was hope, the other executives immediately followed that senior,” Mr. Black, can I go take a shower then?”
“Mr. Black, I also want to leave for a while. My wife has been calling me just now, saying that she is cold. Can I go and provide her some warmth first?”
“!!”
After everyone heard this, they all thought that Mr. Black was going to kiss them. But they heard a knock on the door in the video.
“Jason? Are you there?”
What?
Jason?!
Was there anyone dare to call him by his name? But not Mr. Black? Who was this person? It seemed that their Mrs. Black, Miss Marry, would not dare to be so presumptuous.
Who was this person?
These people’s eyes widened all of a sudden, and they even forgot the rebellion they had just made.
Mr. Black, who was still forcing them to have a meeting just now, shut the laptop with a snap.
Everyone was speechless.
…
Haley was indeed outside at this time. She planned to knock only once. After that, if the man inside didn’t respond, she would leave. She thought it was enough to do this. But she didn’t expect that just after she finished knocking, she heard the sound of the chair inside being pulled, and not long after that, the door was opened from the inside with a “click.”
Haley, “…”
It was a very warm light, a rare orange light, with off-white walls and log-colored chairs; this study was completely different from the rest of the villa. There was a rare warm color.
In addition, the man put on casual home clothes again. He was lazy and casual, and he was relaxed and elegant. Even his usual sharpness was covered up a lot.
“I’ll give you acupuncture. Since you haven’t slept, hurry up.”
