Chapter 750 Discipline Your Son


    Junia saw Laura speak with someone she didn''t know. However, by the time she had approached


    Laura, the man had already walked away. From the vantage point she had while walking in their


    direction she could only make out that he was a tall man bathed in mystery. Therefore, she couldn''t


    help but ask, "Who was that? New friend? Old friend?"


    Looking a bit annoyed, Laura quickly answered shortly, "Nobody." Laura was still angry at Arthur''s


    attitude and in no mood to talk to Junia. Then, her eyes narrowed as she turned to Junia and


    demanded with a cold sneer, "Call Anthony toe here. I have something to ask him."

    Laura''s mind was racing. The more she thought about the things Arthur had said, the more uneasy she


    became. Arthur couldn''t have simply made some things up. It had to havee from somewhere.


    There had to be a good reason. There must be something that she was missing.


    After a few attempts to reach Anthony, she turned to Laura. With a cynical smile strewn across her


    face, Junia replied, "He still doesn''t answer my calls." She said what she could to try to convince Laura


    to take it easy. She said, "Laura, I think it would be best if you didn''t try to get in contact him just yet.


    You just need to focus on taking care of you and recovering. That is more important than anything else


    right now."


    "Is he still refusing to answer your calls now?" Laura didn''t expect that Anthony would still refuse to


    answer Junia''s calls. She thought he would have calmed down after all these days. After a brief


    moment of awkward silence, she anxiously spoke up, "Junia, , We can''t just continue to sit here and


    wait. Ask the doctor if I can be discharged now. I''m ready to go." Before Junia could say something,


    she added, "I must find him now!" Her tone was a bit more stern.


    "Aunt Laura, you just have to let these things go sometimes," Junia said. "Anthony is no longer a child.


    He can look after himself very well. You just need to take it easy," she added.


    "Cut the crap. Just go to the doctor!" Laura had an impatient and semi-aggressive tone that would not


    be ignored.


    Junia had no choice but to go find and try topel the doctor, as she was instructed. However, the


    doctor refused her request. The reason being that he wanted Laura stay in the hospital for another


    night for observation. But the doctor also said that, as long as all of her test results were good


    tomorrow, she could leave right after she got the results.


    Upon returning to Laura''s room, Junia then had to ry the doctor''s response and rmendations to


    her, "Aunt Laura, what''s the big deal? So you stay for another night? Whatever you want to say to


    Anthony, I''m sure it can wait until tomorrow. You shouldn''t just leave the hospital before your doctor


    says it''s okay because you want to have a word with him. What do you say?"


    Seeing great disappointment in Laura''s face, Junia added, "When you''ve gotten some rest like the


    doctor asks, your test results should be back to normal. And once that happens, I promise I will take


    you to see Anthony, okay?" Then, with a huge grin on her face, she added, "Plus, Anthony must still be


    angry. So how about we just allow him the opportunity to calm down for the whole night? As a matter of


    fact, giving him this time may also find him in a much more receptive mood. How does that sound?"


    When Laura saw how much it really concerned Junia for her to take the doctor''s advice, she eventually


    epted the fact that she would have to stay for another night. Yet, part of her, was still worried. With a


    sigh, she said, "That''s fine. I will do what you and the doctor ask and stay here." Then she added, "But


    you absolutely must promise me… promise me that you will make sure that you willplete all of the


    discharge paperwork and protocols tomorrow."


    "Don''t worry about it. I will be sure to make it my business to do it." Junia nodded her head in


    eptance of the agreement.


    Laura smiled sarcastically. For she knew that tomorrow would be the day she would find out exactly


    what terrible thing Anthony had done that had made Arthur as infuriated as he had been.


    If she found out that it was Arthur saying horrible things about her son, she would never allow him to


    continue uninterrupted. She would definitely speak up and defend her son''s honor.


    Her son was a good man. He was not one that Arthur could easily speak ill of.


    The next morning, Laura made sure that she got up early and impatiently urged Junia toplete the


    discharge paperwork and protocols.


    Having to stay in the hospital that night was a little boring for Junia. During the course of the night


    before, she had already put her best foot forward as far as dealing with Laura. She had been more


    tolerant and patient than she thought she could be with this woman who actually had nothing to do with


    her at all. The only thing she wanted to do was to return Laura to Anthony. From now on, whatever


    Anthony said, she would not look after Laura again.


    After finishing the formalities, Junia took Laura to Anthony''s house. But when they arrived and knocked


    on the door, there was no answer. They continued knocking for quite some time, but there was still no


    answer.


    When they continued to get no answer, Laura decided to try to call up, but even there she was still


    getting no answer. Laura nced at Junia with pure concern on her face and asked, "Why didn''t


    Anthony answer when either of us called?"


    Beneath her furrowed brow, Junia said, "Your guess is as good as one at this point." She thought about


    what would happen if he didn''t show up eventually. She even considered calling the cops to report him


    as missing, if he didn''t show up soon. Was she supposed to continue to keep looking after his mom?


    "I guess there is no one in there. Is it more likely than not, that he has gone out. Don''t you think?" Junia


    inquired.


    But Laura, with a forceful tone, replied, "There''s no way. That''s impossible."


    With knitted brows, she added, "If he hase out, he would have let me know. Junia, you have told


    me that he wasn''t here thest time you stopped by here, right?"


    "Yes," Junia said, nodding slightly. She then stated in a calm voice, "Plus, he even didn''t answer my


    calls."


    "Okay, I''ve got it," Laura said. She believed she had an answer in her mind. Then she smiled


    sarcastically and said confidently, "I always know that Sheryl couldn''t give up my son so easily. I''m


    fairly certain that they must be together these days."


    "Is that even possible?" Junia said in disbelief. She creased her brows andmented, "From what I


    saw of Sheryl''s attitudest time, I don''t think Sheryl would be partial to tell lies."


    "You must be blinded by her feigned innocence," Laura said as she shook her head. She smiled


    ironically and continued, "I have seen too many women like Sheryl. She put forth a great deal of effort


    to gain Anthony''s affections. So, how could she just let him go so easily? Yes, at first nce, she said


    that she had broken up with my son, but actually she is still making an effort to try to keep him. I believe


    that wherever she is, there we will also find Anthony. Now, if she were to get pregnantter on, at that


    point, I couldn''t definitively say no in terms of letting her into our family."


    "Is it…" Junia hemmed and hawed. "Is that even a possibility?" With creased brows, Junia inquired.


    "That is definitely possible," Laura smiled emphatically as she answered. "Junia, do you remember the


    Laura said grimly with a hardened expression.


    "But…" Junia narrowed her brows and hesitated for a while, taking deep breaths trying to find


    something to dissuade her aunt from doing this.


    Laura interrupted Junia''s pause, "Stop stalling. Get a move on it. Let''s get there. The sooner the


    better." Laura narrowed her eyes and added, "I also know that you don''t want to have to apany


    me any more. I will let you go about your day. But first, I need you take me to find that woman."


    Hearing Laura''s words, Junia felt too embarrassed to refuse Laura anymore. So she said nothing and


    headed in the direction to take Laura to see Sheryl.


    Meanwhile, at the hospital, Shirley was also getting discharged.


    Charles had originally nned to drive Sheryl home, but Sheryl declined and said, "Oh no. Don''t worry


    yourself about it. I''ll be fine. You and Charlie have already been here in the hospital for thest two


    days. You should just take Charlie back and get some rest."


    In a hushed tone, Charles said, "I''m fine, don''t worry. I can drop you off on my way home. And I will not


    go upstairs because I know Shirley needs a good rest right now. Then I will bring Charlie back."


    Seeing that she couldn''t change his mind anymore than he could change hers, Sheryl had no choice


    but to ept his offer.


    After getting everyone into his car, Charles proceeded to drive Sheryl and Shirley back home. Upon


    reaching their home, he helped them to the door before returning to his car. He only started his car and


    left after he saw that they were both safely tucked away in the building.


    At that precise moment, Junia and Laura happened to be have been waiting for them for a long time. It


    was Laura who saw Anthony''s car first. Then, with a sarcastic smile, she said, "You see the car, right?


    See I just knew he must be going there to see that bitch."


    Junia tried to provide some kind of objective perspective and give Sheryl the benefit of the doubt by


    adding, "Isn''t it possible that there is some kind of misunderstanding here? Maybe there is more going


    on than you know…" However, Laura, not wanting to hear anything that may have sounded like an


    excuse for Sheryl, insisted on dealing with her own opinion as if it were a fact. She said, "You just wait


    and see. I will show you what kind of person that bitch is and teach her a lesson."


    But Laura''s words just disgusted Junia. Whatever Sheryl had done, the Xiao family was still a decent


    family. Laura kept on referring to Sheryl as a bitch, which Junia felt was extremely vulgar.


    "Aunt Laura, why not just let her go?" Junia creased her brows as she gently advised her. All the while,


    Junia kept hoping she would take her advice. "Plus, there are so many apartments here. The reality of


    the situation is that I don''t even know which house Sheryl is living in. How could we know which one so


    that we choose the right room number?" Junia added.


    With a sarcastic smile, Laura said, "I will wait for them to show up then, since I don''t know the room


    number." Laura narrowed her eyes and added, "I don''t believe they can stay in the house and never go


    out."


    "Aunt Laura, do you really believe that what you are doing right now is really necessary?" Junia


    narrowed her brows as shepleted her inquiry. "Anthony is a grown man. He knows what he should


    be doing and what he should steer clear of. And he can make decisions himself. You always insert


    yourself in his affairs like this. Eventually he is going to get tired of this and then he''s going to tell you


    about it. Why do you take it upon yourself to do so?" Junia added.
