Love Is Fair By Kerri Chapter 271


    Chapter 271 She Was Confined


    Hailey woke up with a bitter taste in her mouth. Then she smelled the strong odor of medicine. Since


    she was notpletely sober, she


    thought that she was back to the days when she was in Feh.


    “She woke up! She woke up!”


    Hearing some shouts near her, she opened her eyes to find herself surrounded by many people. As


    soon as she tilted her head, she met Owen’s face just a few inches away. Then she saw Sofia, Jared,


    Ryan, Brook, Matthew, Catherine, and Bob. With a frown on her face, she


    murmured in a husky voice, “Why are you all here?”


    Owen looked at her anxiously. “Hailey, how do you feel?”


    “Bitter” Hailey pressed her lips together. Then she said simply, “Water.”


    “Okay, water. Give her some water. Be quick!”


    Catherine fetched a cup of water and handed it to the person in front of her, who gave it to the next


    one. Finally, Owen got it.


    Leaning against Owen’s arm, she gulped the whole cup of water with the help of Owen. Looking up,


    she noticed the ward crowded with


    people, including Polly and almost all the members of the Moores, which surprised her who then


    choked on water violently.


    All the elders there frowned immediately at Owen.


    Steven wore a long face. “Just help her drink it slowly. How could you fail to do that? So stupid.”


    Abby was unsettled “What are you doing? Just wipe her mouth.”


    Polly came forward by moving the wheelchair. “She is choking on water. Pat her back to help her


    breathe.”


    Being anxious, Owen put down the cup quickly and took some tissue to wipe Hailey’s mouth. Then, he


    patted her back, wishing that he


    had more hands to take care of her. When he just patted her twice, he was scolded by the elders again.


    “Be tender!” Their voices were so


    loud that he couldn’t help sweating.


    After drinking the water, Hailey found the bitter taste in her mouth gone. Looking at Ryan, she


    comined, “Did you feed me some


    medicine when I was in aa?”


    “Yes,” said Ryan tonelessly. “I made it very bitter on purpose to make you remember this lesson.”


    Hailey was speechless


    Jared, Brook, and Owen all stared at Ryan with dissatisfaction.


    Brook said, “Hey, Ryan, how could you do that to her? What a poor girl.”


    Matthew pressed his lips together and sighed inwardly. He thought. I should be careful not to offend


    Ryan. Those who are medical


    experts are so horrifying. I don’t want to suffer


    Since Hailey was awake, all the people in the ward rxed.


    As the head of Traditional Medicine Center, Charlotte asked the Moores to leave the ward with the


    reason that Hailey needed a good rest.


    Steven and Abby asked Charlotte to examine their health and got some traditional medicine from him.


    Staring at Charlotte who had a


    handsome face and behaved in a good manner, Abby asked him with a genial smile, “Dr. Dous, may


    I ask how old you are?”


    Charlotte smiled at her. “25”


    “As the head here, you are so young and sessful. Have you got a girlfriend?”


    Charlotte kept smiling. “No, I haven’t.”


    Abby smiled more brightly. “Oh, good. Gene, my granddaughter, hasn’t got a boyfriend either.”


    Standing behind Abby, Gene was surprised. “Grandma…” She thought. ‘Please don’t! It’s so


    embarrassing.


    People in the ward were still chatting. As soon as the Moores left, Jared pulled Owen away from Hailey


    and surrounded her together with


    Brook and Ryan “Hailey, you are not a child now and you have a phone. Why didn’t you ask for help


    when in danger?” He criticized her and


    nced at Sofia


    Sitting on the sofa, Sofia was biting her fingernails. When he said these, he looked so like my father’


    Brook’s face also fell “You are grown up. But you are also a girl who should be careful outside and your


    safety is always the most important. This time you got into great trouble which almost freaked me out.”


    While he was speaking, tears came to his eyes. He


    recalled the scene when they arrived there to save her. The exploded car and the fires were so


    appalling that he couldn’t forget them. He


    thought. ‘We already lost our mom. We can’t lose you, Hailey.”


    Ryan was no longer calm. Looking at Hailey’s pale wounded face, he announced, “Just stay here for


    half a month. Yes, that’s confinement


    and you can’t go anywhere else.”


    Hailey was listening to her brothers obediently and didn’t retort. When she heard his announcement,


    she raised her head immediately.


    “No! I don’t agree!” She would die than stay in the ward for half a month.


    Ryan’s face was stern. “Your objection is annulled.”


    Hailey became anxious. “No!” That’s my own freedom. I am the only one who can decide it.”


    “Well, so you refuse?” Ryan took out his phone and dialed an oversea phone number. “Your sister


    doesn’t ept my order. You should


    talk to her.”


    Hailey had a bad feeling instantly.


    The next second, Ryan put the phone near her ear and said, “Just say it.”


    A pretty deep voice came from the phone. “Hailey Newman.” The man called her full name.


    Hailey’s heart did a flip and her face became whiter. She opened her mouth stiffly and said hesitantly.


    “I… I am here.”


    Noticing the scare and panic on her face, Owen frowned and thought. ‘Why is she so afraid?”


    The man said something to Hailey over the phone, which made her lower her head.


    She said unhappily but humbly, “Okay, I got it. I should listen to Ryan.”


    Ryan took back the phone and twisted the corner of his mouth. “She only follows your words. What a


    rebellious sister.” After the man over


    the phone said something else, Ryan nodded and gave the phone to Jared. “Your brother wants to talk


    with you.”


    “Me?” Pointing at himself, Jared who was always cold showed some cowardice. He took over the


    phone and cleared his throat. After that,


    he said quietly, “This is Jared.”


    Sofia looked at Jared curiously and found his forehead covered with cold sweat in just a few seconds.


    “Okay, got it. I will deal with it,” said Jared, who then hung up the phone. Grim-faced, he handed the


    phone back to Ryan.


    Hailey thought that Jared was scolded by their eldest brother just now, so she was quite guilty. Before


    she said something to Jared, Jared


    asked her, “Do you know the identity of the kidnapper?”


    “I don’t know.” Hailey shook her head. Recalling the kidnapper’s face, she said with a frown, “He has


    whiskers, a robust body… Oh, his


    eyes are very familiar to me. But I can’t recognize his face. I don’t know who he is.”


    Jared frowned tightly, dwelling on her words.


    Owen asked in a deep voice, “What happened when you were in the hot spring pool?”


    Brook also had long wanted to ask about it. “Just tell us what happened there. Why would you have a


    fight there with a gang of viins

    and nearly got kidnapped?”


    Actually, even Hailey and Sofia were surprised about what happened.


    Sofia said, “We saw someone making love there. So we were attacked.”


    “Making love?” Brook’s eyes widened. He asked, “Who is it?”


    Hailey looked at Owen and said clearly, “Eliza.”
