Chapter 420: Are You Sure You Can Beat Her?
Not long after, Daniel came back after making a call and said to him, "I can take you to find her, but you must promise me not to provoke her." Daniel said seriously. James didn’t bother to talk nonsense with him, turned, and walked out. Daniel followed him with a frown.
Sam finally had a day off and she went to the supermarket. She had been quite busy in Daniel’s club and often lived in a reversal of night and day. Now that she finally had such a day off in the daytime, she naturally wanted to enjoy it. However, as soon as she got out of the taxi with the grocery, she saw Daniel and James standing downstairs. Sam wasn’t surprised to see Daniel. After all, he had called her earlier and asked where she was, but she didn’t understand why James was here. Was it because of that? A thought flashed in her mind, and Sam paused and walked over.
"Boss, didn’t you say that I could rest in the morning?" She looked at Daniel. Daniel looked somewhat awkward, and he explained, "I’m here to..."
Before he could finish his sentence, James said first, "Where is Yvonne?" He stepped forward and asked directly. Of course, she guessed that James was here for this. She looked at James blankly, "I don’t know what you are talking about." With that, she looked at Daniel, "Boss, if there is nothing else, I’ll go back first." She was about to walk down the corridor with her grocery when she was stopped by James.
"You know where Yvonne is, right? Tell me." James said firmly. Sam looked at him now, "Mr. Taylor, but I don’t understand what you are talking about."
"You know. Sam, you must know."
James said, "I have checked the surveillance at the party last night, and you helped her deliver the gift."
Hearing him say this, Sam said truthfully, "It’s true I delivered the gift, but that was it."
"Well, even if you just helped her send it over, how did she contact you?" James asked another way.
Sam was a little annoyed, "Mr. Taylor, I have no obligation to tell you this." James was suddenly speechless. Sam walked around him directly to the corridor, but she was quickly stopped by James again, "You’re not leaving unless you tell me today." James stopped in front of Sam. Sam glared at him back without showing any weakness. No one intended to make concessions.
Daniel felt that something would happen if this continued, so he quickly stepped forward and pulled James away and reminded him in a low voice, "James, calm down, please." "Calm down?" How could James listen to him at this time? He shook Daniel’s hand off and said, "Now that I finally have a clue, how do you expect me to calm down?!"
"James..."
"You must tell me." James squinted and ordered Sam.
Sam’s eyes turned cold suddenly, "Get out of my way!" James stood still. Sam simply
changed her way but was stopped by him again. At this time, Sam was annoyed, and her face darkened. She slowly stepped back, put her things into the corner of the wall. When she came back, she kicked at him. James was caught off guard and was almost kicked, but Daniel acted quickly and pulled him away to prevent him from being hurt.
But as a man, how could he be willing to fall behind? After realizing that Sam attacked him, James broke away from Daniel and fought back. But he was no match for Sam. Seeing that the two of them were fighting like this, Daniel wanted to step forward to stop it, but given Sam’s constant attacks, he could only pull James, "James, don’t fight."
James was busy fighting back at this time. How could he listen to Daniel? Daniel had no choice but to make a move. With Daniel’s intervention, this battle was stopped. "You go back first." Daniel stopped James and said to Sam.
Sam had just wanted to go home. Seeing this, she turned around to pick up her things on the ground and walked towards the corridor. "Danny, let me go..." James saw Sam leave in front of him and tried to stop her, but he did not get away after a few struggles.
Daniel didn’t let go of James until Sam disappeared. Seeing that he was about to catch up with her, Daniel said, "Sam is a very good fighter. Are you sure you can beat her?" Suddenly, James stopped.
Daniel sighed, "James, you’re no match for her." James still clenched his fists and didn’t want to give up. Daniel persuaded, "Take my advice. Don’t go head-on with her. Why don’t you go back first?"
James clenched his fist more tightly, but he didn’t step forward. Instead, he turned and left bitterly. When Daniel saw that James finally left, he was relieved, but he caught a glimpse of a potato that had fallen on the corner of the wall. He stepped forward to pick it up, stared at the potato and raised his eyebrows slightly, then turned towards the corridor and walked inside. In the corridor on the second floor, as soon as Sam opened the door and was about to go in, Daniel caught up with her, panting.
"Are you OK?" He was panting. He was just running up. Sam looked at him blankly and did not speak, and only shook her head. Daniel was relaxed. He stood up straight, but looked at her, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "You... know?"
Sam knew he was asking about Yvonne, and she said, "Boss, even if it’s you, I wouldn’t tell you." She turned and walked in. Daniel stopped her at the door. Sam looked at her, puzzled. Daniel remembered something and quickly raised his hand, "Well, you dropped it." He gave her the potato in his hand. Sam glanced at it indifferently, and then took it, "Thanks."
Daniel clapped her hands, but his eyes fell unconsciously on the shopping bag she was carrying, and said, "You bought so many vegetables. Aren’t going to invite me to try your cooking skills?"
Sam raised his eyebrows slightly, "Boss, it’s off work now." She was implying that she had the freedom to decide whether to invite him or not. The door slammed shut in front of him, and Daniel was rejected flatly. What a stingy girl! He whispered and turned away. Sam stood in the room and she was finally relieved when she saw
Daniel leaving through the peephole. She suddenly thought of something and made a call quickly, "Yvonne, I’m sorry, I’m exposed. But don’t worry. I promised you to keep it secret for you, and I will keep my word."
On the other end of the phone, Yvonne was standing in the hallway outside the lounge. After hearing Sam’s words, she felt very grateful, "Thank you, Sam." "But do you want to hide it from him like this? He doesn’t seem to be doing very well."
During this period, Sam had seen James’ reaction, and she somehow felt sorry for him.
...
Yvonne was silent for a while before speaking, "I know, but this is only temporary, and he will get better." After hanging up the phone, Yvonne couldn’t calm down for a long time. She had long expected that Sam might be found. But she hadn’t expected her to be discovered so quickly. But she believed that Sam would keep it secret for her. "Yvonne, it’s time for lunch." A colleague’s shout came from behind. Yvonne gathered her thoughts and turned back.
This was the only restroom in the hospital, where they usually had their meals. At this time, Gail from the pharmacy and nurse Fanny was having lunch by themselves. Seeing her come in, they hurriedly said, "Dr. White, we have left you a meaty one."
Both of them were young girls in their early twenties. They came to the mountain area for internships just after graduating from school. They were very simple and nice. During this period, Yvonne had gotten along well with them. "Thank you."
She walked in and sat down at the table, looking at the lunch in front of her, her stomach somehow turned, and she hurriedly covered her mouth and ran towards the bathroom. Gail and Fanny were a little worried when they saw this and followed her, "Dr. White, what’s the matter with you?"
Yvonne felt sick over the sink, and it was a little relieved after a while, and then she replied, "Maybe I’m a little acclimatized. I’ll be all right in a minute." The two young girls didn’t take it seriously and poured a cup of warm water for her. Yvonne thanked them. She thought about her reaction in the past few days, including the diarrhea several days ago. This was the second time she had shown symptoms of acclimatization It seemed that she had to adapt to the environment here as soon as possible.
Since the last time he failed against Sam, James had targeted Sam. He started to follow Sam every day and it seemed he wouldn’t give up before he succeeded. Sam was quite troubled by this, but she couldn’t do anything to him. One night, James blocked Sam in the club again. "Sam, as long as you are willing to tell me, I will agree to any conditions." After several head-to-head attempts, he finally changed his strategy to softly asking for peace with her.
Sam still looked helpless, "Mr. Taylor, I have said it many times. I don’t know where Yvonne is. Please don’t follow me anymore." She turned around and left. James still didn’t give up and continued to follow her, "I also said that as long as you don’t tell me, I wouldn’t give up."
He followed her everywhere she went, which completely affected her work and life. One day, Sam finally couldn’t bear it. She stopped and turned back, and said to him, "Mr. Taylor, I advise you not to focus on me alone. If you want to find Yvonne, you might as well think of other ways."
"Other ways?" James was puzzled.
Sam said, "Think about it, she didn’t even tell her best friend Janice, so how could she tell me where she is? I just did her a favor. It’s not as complicated as you thought."
With that, she shook her head helplessly, turned, and continued to walk forward.
James stopped there. He had followed Sam for a few days but still couldn’t get anything. If it was not that Sam had too much endurance, then she didn’t know where Yvonne was. However, Sam was the only clue he had now. What else could he do if he didn’t follow her around? The more he thought about it, the more irritable he felt. He simply drove away from the club and drove on the road at a swift speed.
When he thought that she had been away for so long and he hadn’t found any news, he couldn’t help but smash the steering wheel a few times. First, it was Mr. Gregor, and then Sam. His hopes were raised, but he couldn’t find any clues. Was he too useless? James felt very upset and drove the car unknowingly to the lawyer’s office. Maybe Sam was right. He couldn’t just focus on her and ignore the others. Since the one she had the deepest contact with was Mr. Gregor, then he would look for clues from Mr. Gregor again. He believed he would think of a countermeasure.
Thinking of this, he opened the door and got out of the car, heading towards Mr. Gregor’s office. Mr. Gregor had been left alone for a few days. When he saw James coming again, he felt a headache. "Mr. Taylor, why are you here again?" Mr. Gregor looked helpless.
James ignored it, and asked directly, "She still didn’t reply to the email?" Mr. Gregor shook his head. James gritted his teeth and closed his eyes. She refused to show up even when he said he wanted to talk about their divorce. Why? "Have you made it clear that I have agreed to a divorce?" James asked.
Mr. Gregor was helpless. He paused, and then said, "Mr. Taylor, to be honest, I believe your wife knows better than anyone else who you are. Do you think she will believe that you’ve agreed to a divorce in such a short time?" He realized Mr. Gregor was right. It turned out that she didn’t reply to the email because she didn’t believe in him. So as long as she was convinced, she would probably come back. In this case, he would convince her! Thinking of this, he squinted his eyes coldly and turned to leave.
Yvonne had had a bad time these days. In addition to the usual busy schedule in the hospital, she also had spare time to visit and make rounds with the medical team. The mountain road was rugged and difficult to walk on. Although the hospital had a car, there was still no way to get anywhere. They often had to walk dozens of kilometers of mountain roads to reach places that were inaccessible to cars. Her colleagues in the medical team complained every time they went to work. One day, there was another task of visiting the countryside.
But just before departure, the colleagues fell ill one by one, and Yvonne was the only one left in the entire medical team in an instant. Although she didn’t feel very well, her condition was better than others. So this task fell on her shoulder alone. Fortunately, the driver Jason followed her. In addition to the guide, he also took on a lot of physical work for her. "Dr. White, let’s take a break. If we go on like this, you will be overwhelmed." When halfway down the road, Jason suggested.
Yvonne had wanted to hurry up, but after seeing their destination not close at the foot of the mountain, she nodded and agreed. The two found a fairly flat place to sit down and rest. "Dr. White, would you like some water?" Jason took out a bottle of mineral water from his backpack, opened it, and handed it over to her.
Yvonne took a few sips before putting it down. These days, seeing her colleagues fall one by one, she didn’t know how long she could hang on.
