Love Is Fair By Kerri Chapter 309
Chapter 309 Fastidious Brothers-in-Law
Sleepless all night, Owen was sitting on a bench outside the ward. Dark circles were under his eyes.
Matthew
had just finished a phone call with his old man and answered a ton of questions. He then came over.
“Why are you sitting outside? I saw lunchboxes. Aren’t you going to eat with Hailey?”
Owen replied in a husky voice, “I’m not hungry.”
Matthew nced inside the ward, figured out the situation, and snorted, “You were kicked out, weren’t
you?”
“No,” Owen replied straight-faced, “my presence there will affect the atmosphere.”
“Makes sense. I guess her brothers will lose their appetite when you’re around,” Matthew scoffed and
sat
down on the other end of the bench. Owen suddenly got up, and he almost tipped over
“Damn!” Matthew hastily steadied himself and red at Owen, “That’s vindictive of you.”
With no expressions on his face, Owen sat back down. Matthew saw his sullen face and tried to
smooth things
over.
“I was just kidding. You were sinful in the past, but the rescue is your credit. Their impression of you
has
changed, right?”
“I’m not sure.” Owen pursed his lips. Exhausted, he closed his eyes and leaned on the back of the
bench.
He was still terrified when he thought of Hailey lying prone on the steering wheel, her head covered
with blood.
Her torso was stiff and cold, and her hands were shaking. He had been through a car ident once.
He was
almost killed. It changed not only his character but also his lite
He didn’t want Hailey to go through the pain he had experienced. She was lying weakly in his arms
when he
rushed her to the hospital. Like a dandelion, she might drift away in the wind at any second. He kept
calling
out her name. He had never been so scared. He was afraid of losing her. He was distressed when she
unconsciously called out to her mom and dad. Not until that moment, he realized her soft heart
underneath
her tough look. She had been hiding her vulnerable side.
Matthew bent down, peeked into the ward, and cowered at the sight of Hailey’s brothers who were
surrounding her. He curled his lips. “I’m not exaggerating things, but if you get back together with
Hailey,
you’ll have to face so many fastidious brothers-inw.”
Owen opened his eyes and nced at the man. “You quit?
Matthew widened his eyes. “I don’t stand a chance.” In frustration, he sat back down, crossed his legs,
and
said yfully, “I’ll be the fifth wheel up for the game when you’re worn out.”
Owen ignored him but admired Hailey’s brothers when he saw her reliance on them. If he had
cherished her back then, she would have relied on him like this as well and would not have shut him
out.
In the afternoon, Kyle went through the discharge procedures for Hailey. Nichs was with him when
he came
back.
“Nichs,” Hailey greeted the man and urgently asked, “How is it?”
Nichs got busy as soon as he arrived in Poya. Joe had been arrested by the police. Hailey was the
victim of
the bombing and kidnapping idents. As herwyer, Nichs went to the police station on behalf of
her. Joe
was an international ouw. His arrest was naturally a major deal.
With a solemn expression on his face, Nichs replied, “The case is moreplicated than expected.”
Hailey’s brows twitched as she had a bad teeling. ording to Nichs, Joe was a ss A criminal
wanted by
Interpol. Although hemitted crimes in Connd, there were many powers behind him. Whether he
was
caught in a member country of Interpol or not, they were supposed to hand over a felon like Joe to a
state that
had jurisdiction. They were forbidden to proceed with the case without authorization.
Atter listening to thew exined by him, Hailey furrowed her brows. “You mean, Joe will not be
sentenced
here? He will be sent back to his home country?”
Nichs nodded. “Exactly.”
“What?” Brook jumped out, “So, Hailey’s effort is for nothing?”
Her other brothers were also unhappy about it. Jared turned fierce and coldly said, “In that case, we’ll
have to
get rid of him when he’s transferred.”
“Don’t act rashly,” Randal mused. “There is no escape from the long arm of thew. Joe hasmitted
so
many major crimes. Even if he is sent back, the president of Traique will not let him off the hook
!!
Kyle alsomented, “We should ask Karl’s opinion. He worked with the president of Traique and had
Joe
captured before.”
Brook was agitated. “I don’t get it. They caught him but let him escape. Is there a mole? What it he gets
away with it again?”
Hailey had the same doubt. Her face was frosty. She was eager to know the whereabouts of her
parents, or else she would have chopped that scumbag to death. Nichs’ face was also sullen.
After a moment of hesitation, he said, “Joe asked me to pass on a message.’
Hailey raised her head. “What is it?”

He pursed his lips and replied, “He said that his offer still stands, and you’re expected to think about it.”
Once the words were out of his mouth, Hailey’s eyes turned icy cold. Her brothers raised their heads
one after another. “What’s his offer?”
