Chapter192
Adelaide lightly sighed, With a knife at her throat, she filed a lawsuit, claiming she was just being emotional.
This kind of thing, just forget about it and move on.
“Sue as usual.”
“Ms. Pierce, Amanda was in the hospital,” the lawyer said.
“Where was she hospitalized?”
After listening to the lawyer’s report, Adelaide was stunned for
a moment and then smiled.
It’s not just a coincidence.
She was right here.
Adelaide said, “Mr. Shaffer, come to this hospital now, I’m here,
let’s meet and talk upstairs.”
The lawyer said yes.
She hung up the phone, turned around and walked into the
ward, only to find Reginald also hanging up the phone. “That
Mr. Thorton, I…”

“My mom is here,” said Reginald as if it was just a casual remark.
“mm”
Seeing the visible panic on her face, Reginald felt like joking, “I bet if you go out now, you’ll run into her head on.”
Adelaide’s eyes widened, “Um, I’ll just go to the bathroom for a
moment.”
“You were my subordinate, why did you hide?”
“You know nothing!” Adelaide panicked for a moment and fired back directly.
After arguing, she glared at Reginald, not showing the usual
respect for her boss, but warning, “Don’t say I’m here.”
Reginald opened his mouth.
Adelaide stormed off and went into the bathroom.
Almost at the same time, Nyasia hurriedly walked in and asked,
“How did you hurt your hand?”
Reginald’s smile faded, and he said casually, “Didn’t play it well.”

!…… Nyasia’s expression briefly blank, then said irritably, “Do you think I’m a three–year–old child to be fooled? What exactly
happened?”

“Bought a new knife, pretty fun.”
“How old are you, still playing with knives!” Nyasia cursed
harshly, but deep down she was really worried. “Is the wound
deep? How many stitches did you get?”
“Are Byron and Denise coming back?” Reginald changed the
subject.
“Yeah, in a couple of days,” Nyasia snorted, “I’ll have Byron
come back and straighten you out.”
Reginald didn’t say anything, and he wasn’t afraid. His mother kept chattering, but his mind was on Adelaide in the bathroom.
Adelaide was sweating buckets while sitting on the toilet, even though the soundproofing was good, she didn’t dare to take deep breaths.
No wonder she felt so guilty.
After all, that phone call that day still left her feeling scared.
And Reginald intentionally didn’t say how he got hurt, she can imagine, if Nyasia knew the truth, then she would definitely not be able to stay at Orvenix Group.
With that in mind, Adelaide felt even more grateful to Reginald.
Shouldn’t she buy something to thank him?
Thapter
Knock, knock, knock the sound of knocking made Adelaide
jump.
“Are you going to ring in the New Year in the bathroom?”
It was Reginald’s voice.
Adelaide was sweating nervously, slowly opening the door.
Reginald stood outside the door, with a needle in his right hand
resting on the IV stand.
She hadn’t even had a chance to look around when Reginald
suddenly bent over and got close to her.
“Adelaide, you were already divorced. We’re two single adults,
what are you feeling guilty about?”
Getting too close, Adelaide could clearly see his eyelashes. Her heart skipped a beat three times, and she took a half step back
with her right foot. “That’s your mother.”
“So what?”
“No way!” Adelaide couldn’t continue, “That Mr. Thornton, I have to go out temporarily for something, I’ll come over after I finish. With you on the IV drip, looks like we’ll be having dinner
here. Shall I buy you something later?”
