Chapter 459 – Announcing Death
Publicly?Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
Baird Lane hung his eyes and did not answer.
Seeing this, Ives Norton didn’t push the issue and changed the subject, “And Leo Bort’s side, what are you going to do?”
Upon hearing about Leo Bort, Baird Lane changed back to the cold to emotionless look he had just had, “Him? Isn’t he so partial to Molly Bort’s mother and daughter, then let them have a family reunion.”
Ives Norton wasn’t the least bit surprised by the answer; he’d already guessed it.
Now Baird Lane can be said to be a completely different person, Christine White’s death has affected him too much, leaving him with nothing but anger and murder in his heart.
It’s not unusual for him to want Molly Bort’s father and daughter dead.
“Alright, I still say don’t let anyone catch you out, you rest, I’m going out.” Ives Norton said and left the hospital room.
Baird Lane was the only one left in the ward.
Baird Lane gripped the railing of the hospital bed with both hands as if he were trying to break it.
After a while, he suddenly collapsed on the hospital bed, as if he had fainted.
The next second, however, he opened his eyes again and looked around before getting up and heading towards the restroom.
Standing in front of the mirror in the restroom, he looked at himself in the mirror, the anger and murderous thoughts in his eyes were gone, only a little doubt remained.
What’s going on?
How did he …
“President Lane!” came a sudden voice, interrupting Baird Lane’s thoughts.
Baird Lane frowned and stepped out of the restroom, his thin lips pursed in some displeasure at the sight of Gates in a hurry, “What’s wrong?”
“President Lane, Molly Bort …” Before the words were finished, Gates abruptly felt something was wrong and swallowed back the words that followed.
That’s strange. What happened to President Lane’s attitude?
It became indescribably strange.
“President Lane, are you okay?” Gates surveyed Baird Lane as if trying to see something in Baird Lane’s face.
“It’s fine.” Baird Lane returned with slightly downcast eyes.
The strangeness in Gates’ mind grew stronger, especially at the sight of Baird Lane’s bemused face.
“President Lane, just a moment while I get Dr. Norton.”
With that said, he darted out of the hospital room and ran all the way toward Ives Norton’s office.
When he came to Ives Norton’s office, he didn’t knock on the door and didn’t care if there were any patients inside, he grabbed Ives Norton’s hand and ran.
Ives Norton was yanked along by Gates and almost gave it a tumble, and after stabilizing himself, chortled in displeasure, “Gates, what are you doing?”
“Dr. Norton don’t you ask, you’re coming with me to see President Lane,” Gates said quickly.
Ives Norton raised an eyebrow, “What happened to Baird?”
He’d only just got back from Baird Lane, it couldn’t have happened again so soon.
“I don’t know what’s going on with President Lane, but I just have a feeling something’s not right with President Lane.” Gates returned.
Ives Norton was confused, “What? I don’t know what’s wrong, but it doesn’t feel right, Gates, are you crazy?”
“I’m not crazy, I’m sane, anyway just go check out President Lane and you’ll see.” Gates said while picking up speed on his feet.
Within moments, Baird Lane’s ward arrived.
Gates advances Ives Norton.
After giving him an exasperated glare, Ives Norton went to Baird Lane, who was sitting on a hospital bed reading a book.
Baird Lane stopped turning pages and lifted his head, “What brings you here?”
“Huh?” A single word made Ives Norton sense that something was wrong.
Gates was behind him, giving him a wink as if to say, See, I told you President Lane wasn’t right.
Ives Norton has nothing to say now, because Baird Lane is indeed not right.
Normally, Baird Lane’s entire personality would be cold, cranky and extreme because of Christine White’s death, not as indifferent as it is now, as if Christine White hadn’t died before.
What’s going on here?
Thinking about it, Ives Norton’s face changed, “Baird, you shouldn’t …”
“What are you trying to say?” Baird Lane snapped the book closed.
Ives Norton swallowed, “No, it’s nothing, I needed to cool off a bit.”
He rubbed his forehead, his legs weakening as he walked over to a side chair and sat down.
After sitting for a while, he beckoned Gates over and the two muttered.
“I have a wild guess now, but I’m not sure, I need to do a detailed examination to be sure.”
“When you say speculation, it shouldn’t be …”
“It’s what you think.”
“Hiss …” Gates huffed backward.
Ives Norton stood up and looked at Baird Lane with a complicated gaze, “Baird, it’s time for the review, let’s go.”
Baird Lane hmmm’d, put his hand aside, put on his shoes and got out of the hospital bed.
This action on his part made Ives Norton’s heart sink, reinforcing his presumption.
Once again, the trio went to the examining room, and this time, with the exception of Baird Lane, Gates and Ives Norton’s hearts were heavy.
The next day, the official website of The Lane Family Group released an update, which took the internet by storm.
For no other reason than the news of the death of the wife of the president of The Lane Family Group.
The president of The Lane Family Group, Baird Lane, got married, not many people knew about it, and it was only semi-publicized to the public, so the vast majority of people had more or less heard of his marriage but didn’t believe that he was really married, after all, he had never personally said to the public that he was married.
But now the group’s official website said that his wife had passed away, how could this not be shocking.
In another hospital, Bess Camp also saw the news.
Although it has been known for a long time that Christine White does not tell Baird Lane that she is still alive, Baird Lane will sooner or later publicize her death, but I did not expect that he will publicize it so soon.
“Christine, there’s bad news.” Bess Camp put her cell phone away and walked into Christine White’s hospital room and spoke to her.
“What’s the bad news?” Christine White was helped up by her caretaker and leaned against the head of the bed.
Three days, her body can already move, do not have to lie down all the time, can sit a little, or get out of bed to walk a little, only the bandages on her body can not be removed, only when the burns all scabbed before becoming removed.
“President Lane his …”
Hearing that the bad news was about Baird Lane, Christine White was no longer so calm, and her whole being became anxious, “What’s the matter with him, you tell me!”
She urged.
Bess Camp sighed softly, “He folioed your death!”
“What did you say?” Christine White was a little disbelieving what she was hearing.
Bess Camp said it again, “He went public with your death and now the whole internet knows that the wife of the president of The Lane Family Group has died and that your account has been canceled.”
“It was publicized that I was dead and my account was canceled, which means … I’m now a literal dead man right?” Christine White’s voice trembled a little.
Bess Camp nodded, “That’s right!”
“But … But I’m still alive!” Christine White was a bit unable to accept the result.
Bess Camp looked at her, “But your account has been canceled, which means that you are now dead in everyone’s eyes, and you have now lost all identity except for the name Christine White.”
“How can …” Christine White was starting to get emotional.
Bess Camp put her hand on her shoulder and gestured for her to calm down first, “Don’t you dare, if you can’t take it, how about I go tell President Lane right now that you’re not dead?”
“No, don’t!” Christine White immediately refused again, “You can’t tell him, after telling him, he will definitely announce to the public again that I’m not dead, in that case, wouldn’t that be deceiving the public? The public will definitely doubt the integrity of The Lane Family Group, at that time, The Lane Family Group’s stock market will definitely fall, on top of that, with me like this, so can he see it!”
“So what do you say?” Bess Camp had a bit of a headache.
