Chapter 66
I furrowed my brows and felt a wave of irritation. After a while, I replied in a low voice, “I’ll try to figure things out with the Carter Group, can you help with Aimee’s situation?” I added, “If it’s not convenient, forget it. I can handle it by myself. As for my mom, I can’t openly go against her.” According to my mother’s personality, the more I stood up for Aimee, the more she would dislike her and target her. Plus, after all, she was my mother. I had to consider her status to some extent. Clayton thought for a while and said,
“Helping is definitely possible. Currently, only the Sharp family is cooperating with Aimee. Although I can try to ensure their herbal medicine demand for this period of time, it won’t work in the long run. Aimee needs more herbal material suppliers to cooperate with. With the Sharp family’s influence in River City, it’s not difficult to convince a few material suppliers to work together. However…”
He looked at me meaningfully at this point. I furrowed my brows and asked, “What’s the matter?” “It will be much simpler with your consent,”
Clayton said mysteriously. “I’ll only find a few better material suppliers. Your aunt won’t leak the news.” Upon hearing this, I nodded without saying anything. “Thank you, Clayton,”
I said gratefully.
“That would be great, and it would be best if you could help me keep her in the country,” I said. I knew Aimee’s personality well – with such a big incident happening at the institute, she wouldn’t just leave the mess behind and travel abroad. Since Clayton was willing to help, she would certainly cooperate as much as possible.
“No problem!” Clayton agreed, but he was shocked and frowned. “What do you mean? Is Aimee planning to go abroad? She doesn’t want to settle in the country?”
I nodded. He couldn’t believe it. “How do you know? Haven’t you had no contact these days? What if it’s just your misunderstanding that her institute had an accident? She returned to the country not long ago.”
I sarcastically pulled my lips, “It’s true, not a misunderstanding. She told Lundy.” “Then you…” Clayton hesitated, looking at me. I gave him a dark look,ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
“That’s why I asked you to do your best to keep her in the country.”
He laughed and teased, “I know you can’t let people go so easily.” ”
He paused and continued, “Erica told me that Aimee is your ex-wife who didn’t say goodbye, so what is the relationship between Aimee and Lundy? I haven’t seen Lundy so dependent on anyone. ”
Although he didn’t say it explicitly, I guessed what he meant, and responded lightly, “Lundy is her son.” ”
Clayton asked, “Aimee doesn’t seem to know about this?” ”
I bowed my head noncommittally, “Something seems to have gone wrong, and neither she nor Lundy knew about each other.” ”
Clayton frowned, “Then why didn’t you tell them?” ”
My eyes darkened, “Because, she has two children by her side.” ”
Clayton echoed, “I’m curious about what Aimee has been through over the years, and we don’t know where those two children came from.” ”
I was silent.
The origins of those two children remain a mystery to me until now.
Clayton coughed lightly, “Anyway, Aimee is Lundy’s biological mother, even for Lundy’s sake, I have to help with this!” Don’t worry, Aimee will leave it to me! ”
I nodded slightly to him, “Thanks.” ”
Aimee’s pov
It was dark all around, and I could clearly hear my own gasps, the heat I had never felt before spread throughout my body, and it was finally concentrated in my lower body.
I barely remember what happened, Clayton helped me with the supply of medicinal herbs, tonight he asked me to dinner, and after eating, as soon as I got to the garage, I was attacked by someone, someone covered my mouth and nose with something, and then I was unconscious.
Thinking of this, I quickly checked my clothes, fortunately, although a little messy, but nothing irreparable should have happened, I endured the heat in my body, slowly sat up, looked around, it was obvious that I was in the hotel suite at the moment.
No way! I must run away before those who captured me come back.
I barely managed to get out of bed, but I didn’t have any strength, my legs were weak, and I couldn’t stand steadily. As soon as I got off the ground, I couldn’t control my fall to the side, and in a hurry, I tightly grabbed the sheets next to me, and with a loud noise, I fell to the ground along with the sheets and quilts on the bed.
Such a big movement will definitely attract people, and I must leave quickly.
I was anxious, but I didn’t have any strength in my body.
“Aimee, you’re awake.” A familiar voice sounded, and someone came from the small living room of the suite in front.
“What’s going on? Don’t move, I’ll carry you to bed. How are you feeling now? The voice was a little anxious.
It took me half a day to react that the person in front of me turned out to be Penn
After knowing that the person in front of me was Penn, I inexplicably relaxed a lot, as if I subconsciously felt that with this man, I would not be in danger.
“Why am I here? You…” I tried to stay awake, trying to ask the man in front of me what was going on.
“Don’t get excited, I just saw you being attacked in the garage, and I rescued you and sent you here.” I’ve asked Bill to look into this. He explained as he picked me up from the ground.
“Send me back…. “I struggled in his arms.
“How do you go back like this? The children will be worried when they see it, and I’ve informed Fiona to tell the two children that you’re not going back tonight. “He put me on the bed.
I felt that my sanity was being eroded little by little, and I almost couldn’t help but throw myself at the man in front of me.
