Chapter 374

Hailey walked in and roared, "You're still working here! Do you know your child will be calling someone else 'Daddy?'" Sergio frowned. "Grandma, what are you talking about?" "Clara has run away with another man! Do you know about this? She's pregnant with your child! How could you let her run away?" Hailey was burning in rage. Sergio looked indifferent, as though he wasn't bothered. "I was the one who let her go." "What?" Hailey was startled, thinking that she had heard it wrongly. Why would someone give their child to another man? Hailey barked, "Sergio, do you know what you're doing? Why would the Brooks family have such a coward like you? I thought Maeve had taken Clara away. Do you know the mess I've caused at the hospital?" Sergio froze at the mention of Maeve. "Did you meet Maeve? She's in the hospital?" Something major had happened in Scott Manor recently. He had gone there several times but had been stopped at the door. He hadn't expected Hailey to look for Maeve. Thinking that Maeve might have been injured, Sergio stood up. Hailey tugged at him and ordered, "Come back!" Sergio furrowed his brows. "Grandma, are you done?" "What? How could you talk to me like this?" Hailey was enraged. They had never had a day of peace at home since Maeve had married into the family. Even her grandson, Sergio, refused to listen to her. Hailey massaged her temples and called out, "Larry!" Larry entered the office, and Sergio ordered coldly, "Bring Mrs. Brooks Senior home to rest. Don't let her out without my order." "Okay, Mr. Brooks." Larry walked up to Hailey and said, "Mrs. Brooks Senior, Mr. Brooks has something to deal with now. It'd be better if you leave first." "Sergio!" Hailey wanted to stop Sergio, but at this moment, he only cared if Maeve had been injured. Then, he headed straight to the hospital in the city center. When he arrived at the hospital, he saw Zion in Maeve's ward. Zion reached out his hand and held Maeve's chin before moving it left and right. The red palm prints on her cheeks were obvious. Outside the ward, Sergio stood to the side and frowned slightly. His gaze was fixed on Maeve's injured face. "Don't move." Zion's deep voice sounded. Maeve was slightly helpless as she replied, "It isn't that serious. I just got slapped twice." Charlie, who was standing at the side, munched on his popcorn and said, "I deserve some praise. I sensed that something wasn't right from Lyra's voice. Otherwise, Zion and I would've been fooled by you two!" Lyra glared at Charlie. "And you dare to be so bold to talk about this?" Charlie smiled embarrassedly and continued munching on his popcorn. Lyra was infuriated and smacked away Charlie's snacks. She said furiously, "It's all because of Clara Stewart. She told her men to bring Maeve and me to the restaurant, then we were trapped there by them. Maeve and I were waiting to see who wanted to meet us, so we didn't call for help. Who knew—"
