Chapter 74
The two policemen wouldn’t dare to see it as trouble. They dared not disobey the chief’s order.
They couldn’t help sizing Celeste up and wondering about her true identity since even the chief had helped her.
After seeing the policemen off, Celeste thanked Michael at the door of the ward.
“Dr. Callaway, thank you for today. Joel wouldn’t have admitted if you hadn’t found the evidence. We wouldn’t have found my
Michael smiled. He wanted to tell her that she should thank someone else instead of him..
Before he could say that, Celeste asked, “By the way, Dr. Callaway, could I make another request?”
“Oh? What is it?”
Michael thought it ha
had something to do with Miranda.
y mom in such a short time.”

Celeste looked troubled. After hesitating for a while, she asked, “Could you not tell Julian about what happened tonight?”
Julian had met Michael in Hart Estate before. Celeste knew that the two low each other. She was aware that Michael had helped her out tonight mainly because of Julian.
However, Celeste didn’t want him to know because she wouldn’t want him to worry about her.
Michael arched his eyebrows slightly, thinking that Celeste was naive. Did she really think that Julian knew nothing about such a serious matter?
Michael casually agreed to her request and left the hospital.
After leaving the building, Michael opened the door of a Maybach which had been waiting at the entrance.
“Tsk… Julian Ford, I’ve underestimated you back then. I didn’t know you could wait a whole night here because of a woman.”
Michael had known Julian for a long time, but he hadn’t seen the latter going to this extent for a woman.
To be more specific, there hadn’t been any
y woman around Julian in the past.
Julian placed his elbow on the window as he stared at the hospital building. He asked coldly, “How is she?”
“Just go in and have a look yourself if you wish to know!”
Julian shot Michael a sidelong glance. Michael instantly felt intimidated by how domineering Julian was.
She
burst into tears as soon
as soon as she saw her mom. I felt sorry to see that.”
Julian pursed his lips without saying a word.
Poor girl. She looked so haggard after
“She also thanked me and the policemen just now. By the way, she told me not to tell you about what happened tonight. P staying up the entire night.
“She’s keeping her mom company in the ward now. I don’t think she’ll leave tonight,” Michael said.
Michael sat in the backseat and continued slowly, “Are you sure you’re not going in to check her out? You did so much the whole night, but you didn’t even let her know. This doesn’t seem like something you’ll do.”
Julian pursed his lips. His handsome face looked slightly solemn. He finally replied, “I’m not going in.” He reckoned that she probably didn’t want to see him.
“All right. Don’t go in then. Let’s go. It should be fine for you to treat me to a meal, right? There are quite many single men in our hospital. Many beads of departments showed up because of Celeste tonight. It caused such a commotion
“I bet there will be many people taking care of her tonight. Don’t worry!” Michael said.
As Michael said that, he was done buckling his seatbelt. At the same time, he seemed amused.
There was a change in Julian’s expression. After pondering for a bit, he opened the door and got out of the car. Then, he strode toward the hospital.
“Ha… Didn’t he say that he wasn’t going in?”
Michael stared at Julian’s back with an intrigued look Only then did he realize that no one would be treating him to a meal since Julian had left. He had done all this the whole night for nothing.
