Chapter 200: Do you want to check it too?
I suddenly thought of something and immediately said to Albert, “Right! Albert, start checking from that property manager in our neighborhood! I have a feeling he won’t be innocent. Maybe it’s a breakthrough?”
Albert raised an eyebrow, “It’s already being arranged!”
Just then, Scarlette walked in with a big box of meals and put them on the table in one go, not forgetting to say to Albert, “I’ll tell you what, I’d never have bought them for you if I hadn’t watched Daisy not eating either!”
I laughed, Scarlette, she’s not over it yet, it’s just a big deal. We’ve all forgotten that she bought Albert breakfast, so what’s the point of mentioning it?
“Uh-huh!” Albert nodded his head as if he were pounding garlic, “I’ll believe it, you just think of it as a purchase for Daisy.”
As he said this, he grabbed a grocery bag and told me, “Daisy dear, thank you for buying me breakfast!”
“Hey! You …” Scarlette was dumbfounded by the exasperation.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
Albert had already grabbed the bun and was shoving it into his mouth, seemingly genuinely hungry.
A few of us laughed, and Scarlette, doggedly, hurriedly picked out a high-grade looking lunch box, opened it and handed it to me, “Daisy, this congee was specially bought for you! Your favorite seafood congee!”
I reached for it and gave it an approving thumbs up, then glanced at Anna and Hannah and the two of them, “Have you all eaten?”
Anna hurriedly said, “We all ate, in my sister’s hospital room, and came over afterward!”
“By the way, I didn’t get a chance to ask you how your sister is doing now?” I asked as I took the small spoon Leila handed me while looking at Anna.
“It’s too soon to tell, but there are definitely signs of waking up, her fingers are moving!” Anna mentioned this with a look of delight.
“That seems like good news!” I said heartily, “It’s great to be awake! Good luck with that!”
“You say it’s strange, this said Sophie is going to wake up, William like a new person, unusually concerned!” Hannah followed my lead, “He came to the hospital when he heard the news, didn’t move an inch, and wasn’t busy!”
With a look of disdain on her face, Anna sneered, “He’s just sick!”
“If you ask me, he’s not necessarily sick, he’s probably weak-minded!” Scarlette spoke up, “How many years has it been? He’s the one who cheated on his wife, he’s the one who wants a divorce, and he’s the one who came out to play nice when she had a car accident, and he’s the one who gave her money and things. This is going to wake up and he’s acting … I don’t believe it, he’s going to have a conscience.”
We were all speechless at Scarlette’s words.
Albert eats and follows along, “Yes, yes, yes, Scarlette’s word is good. Anna, do you want to look into your sister’s car accident too? There might really be an accident! We know each other well, the cost is negotiable, and I can tell you, I’ve seen a lot of these things. How about it? Do you want to check it out?”
Anna’s expression inexplicably froze.
“Get lost! What’s with you? You want money like crazy, don’t you?” Scarlette knocked Albert’s head, “You really want to make money from everything!”
“Albert, can you … really find out what happened a few years ago?” Anna looked at Albert with an expectant face.
“Why don’t you check it out? You don’t have to pay if you can’t find out what’s in it!” Albert, with a mischievous look on his face, ate with such gusto that sweat broke out on his handsome face.
“What about you being like a blind fortune teller? What do you mean you don’t pay if you can’t find out what’s in it?” Scarlette and Albert might have been born with different personalities, and they opened their mouths to curse each other.
Albert skimmed Scarlette as he chewed his mouthful of food, “Fortune-telling blind man you can look at? I pull business to make money and support you! No good?”
