Chapter 360
Hearing Shelton''s words, the master of the Reid Family stopped being too concentrated on the gifts.
However, because he liked Shelton''s gifts very much, he intended to tell Shelton everything, which
was self-evident.
Shelton said, "Mr. Reid, I want to know where your second daughter is now."
Upon hearing this, the master of the Reid Family, who was originally overjoyed, became serious
immediately.
He sat up straight all of a sudden and said with some displeasure, "I only have two sons. I don''t
have any daughter."
"Oh." Hearing so, Shelton said, "Then I''ll take these two gifts back."
Shelton looked as gentle as ever with a slight smile on his face. Even so, others could felt that
instead of joking, he was telling the truth.
As he spoke, he reached out to close the box.
Seeing this, the master of the Reid Family became anxious and couldn''t help but want to stop
Shelton, only to think that with his identity, it wasn''t appropriate for him to do so.
He had no choice but to say, "I have a daughter who is dead."

Shelton didn''t speak or respond. He just covered the lids of the two boxes, piled them up, and put
them away.
As the master of the Reid Family saw that Shelton did mean to take the gifts back, his eyes turned
red.
He could only continue, "Yes. s, I have a daughter. But now she is crazy and is living in a mental
hospital."
Shelton asked, "Where exactly is the mental hospital?"
The master of the Reid Family looked at Shelton somewhat unnaturally and at me, asking
unhappily, "Mr. Shelton, it is my family business. What does it have to do with you? Could it be that
you are going to intervene in this as well?"
"If it has nothing to do with me, I naturally won''t care about it." By saying so, Shelton rified that
this matter had something to do with him.
Fearing that his business would be implicated if his dad refused Shelton, James advised, "Dad, tell
them what happened to my second sister."
"Shut up!" As soon as James said so, the master of the Reid Family flew into a rage!
ring at James, he was so excited that he seemed to be out of breath. After coughing for a few
times he blushed. After a while, he said to Shelton, "My daughter embarrassed my family so much. I
don''t want to mention her anymore."
"You just need to tell me where she is now."
I knew why Shelton had asked so.
Judging from the current situation, the master of the Reid Family was quite unwilling to mention my
mother. If we pushed him too far, he probably would truly give up the gifts and drive us away.
The master of the Reid Family closed his eyes and thought for a long time. Then, he looked up at
us and said, "She is at the Oasis Hospital."
Hearing his answer, Shelton, who was stunned for a moment, furrowed his eyebrows slightly. He
paused for a few seconds before asking, "Under which name was she sent there?"
At this time, the master of the Reid Family looked a little embarrassed. At this time, Mrs. Reid, who
sat silently on the side, finally spoke, "Jessica Reid."
Jessica Reid.
Jessica Reid.
That was right.
Hearing his wife''s voice, the master of the Reid Family looked at her and said with a bit of majesty,
"Did I ask you to speak? Is there any rule?"
He acted like an ancient noble talking to a servant at home.
Seeing him like this, I thought of everything that had happened in the Reid Family.
I suddenly understood a lot of things.
"Why was my mother sent away? Why were Caroline and I sent away? Why did my mother be
a disgrace and a taboo in the Reid Family?"
"In the final analysis, it is because the mindset of feudal times was deeply rooted in the master of
the Reid Family''s mind."
Thinking of this, I couldn''t help but feel quite furious in my heart.
Shelton stretched out his hand and grabbed my hand, saying to Mrs. Reid, "Thank you."
Then, he took me with him and left.
It was still early. I checked the Oasis Hospital on my cell phone and found that it was located in the
suburbs and it would take more than two hours to get there by car. I said to Shelton, "How about we
go there?"
To be honest, I couldn''t wait any longer.
"Okay." Shelton stroked my hair.
It wasn''t until I got into the car that I asked him, "Were the gifts you sent to Mr. Reid just now quite
expensive?"
"No." Shelton smiled, "For the ones who like them, they are priceless. While for the ones who don''t
like them or know nothing about them, they are penniless."
I could ry to what Shelton had said.
Ryan told me the same thing before, saying that when it came to this kind of items like the
jadestone, the jade, or the walnut ythings...
Only the ones who liked them would find them of great value. Of course, only in this way could they
be treated well.
Shelton drove for two hours before getting to the Oasis Hospital.
The hospital looked quite dested. With the main door locked, there was only a small door which
was locked as well next to it.
It was probably because of the winter days that the whole hospital seemed to be shrouded in gray.
The wall of the courtyard stood towering high with ss and wire on it to prevent others from
climbing over it.
There was only a building inside.
As we saw the building from the outside, we found it quite worn out with many windows being nailed
by iron sheets.
The whole hospital was lifeless.
"Is it... Is it open?" I was a little skeptical.
Judging from this hospital''s look, it seemed to have been abandoned.
"Yes." Shelton said with certainty, "There are several mental hospitals in City Y. This one is the
oldest one. Moreover... it is well-known that the facilities here suck. Now, few patients are sent
here."
Hearing Shelton''s words, I felt a sharp pain in my heart.
What did his words mean?
Judging from Shelton''s words, I knew the hospital here wasn''t popr, wondering how a patient
would be treated here.
I could figure it out without guessing.
For an instant, I, who was nervous, said to Shelton, "Then let''s go in quickly."
"Okay."
Shelton and I arrived at the door together.
As expected, there was a security guard at the door. We went over and saw that the old security
guardy there in a thick military green overcoat, listening to storytelling.
The sound of the storytelling was quite loud.
It wasn''t until we called him for a long while that he heard us.
Looking at us in discontent, the old guard got up and opened the window of the gatehouse, leaving
it ajar.
"Hello, we want to..."
"No visit is allowed during the New Year."
As soon as I opened my mouth, the guard snapped. After that, he closed the window.
He was afraid that we would harass him. Then he locked the window from inside.
I became anxious all of a sudden.
Shelton beside me wasn''t in a hurry at all. He reached out, took out a purse from his pocket, and
took out a stack of pink banknotes before putting them in front of the window.
The security guard''s eyes lit up as soon as he saw the money. Instead of opening the window, he
came out directly from the gatehouse, opened the small door, and came out with a bright smile,
"What can I do for you?"
"I''m looking for someone," Shelton said.
Staring at the pile of banknotes in Shelton''s hands closely, the doorman swallowed a mouthful of
saliva and said, "During New Year, no visit is allowed. Most of the nurses and doctors are resting,
leaving only a few on duty."
"Then figure out a way," Shelton said, handing over the money in his hands over to him.
As the doorman saw that Shelton did intend to give him the money, his eyes lit up. He tentatively
stretched out his hand. Seeing that Shelton didn''t withdraw his hand, he took the money over
directly, saying happily, "Okay, wait for me here. I''ll ask someone to go out and pick you up."
It was true that money could talk.
