Chapter 567 – The Reason for Fainting
Christine White looked into his bright eyes, couldn’t say no, and finally nodded her head in agreement.
“We’ll go over there first then.” Ives Norton greeted the dean and then left the dean’s office with Christine White in tow.
Arriving outside Baird Lane’s hospital room, Ives Norton raised his arm and knocked on the door.
The door quickly opened and Aunt Lucy poked her head out, her eyes red and looking like she had only been crying for a short while.
“Aunt Lucy,” Christine White called out to her.
Aunt Lucy smiled in surprise when she saw her, “What brings you here, ma’am?”
“I came with Ives.” Christine White pointed to Ives Norton next to her.
Ives Norton nodded, “Dean told me Baird Lane passed out with a headache and it just so happened that Christine was next to me at that time and we came together.”
“So that’s how it is, come on in, sir’s still awake.” Aunt Lucy opened the door to the hospital room all the way and let the two in.
Ives Norton didn’t move and made a motion for Christine White to go first.
Christine White didn’t refuse, and lifted her foot into the hospital room.
Once inside, she saw the man in the hospital bed.
The man was in a sling, his eyes closed tightly, his face pale as he lay, looking very weak.
Such is Baird Lane that it puts Christine White’s eyes in a trance.
It was like she saw it six years ago.
At that time, he was also lying on the hospital bed in such a weak state, and she came over to say goodbye to him with bandages all over her body.
It would be no different now than it was in the past, the only difference being that the bandages had been removed from her five years earlier.
“Ma’am, have a glass of water.” Aunt Lucy poured two glasses of water and handed one to Christine White.
Christine White looked back and reached for the glass of water, “Thank you.”
“Thanks for nothing.” Aunt Lucy glared at her and handed Ives Norton another glass of water.
Christine White, not much in the mood for water, set her glass of water on the side of the bed, looked at Baird Lane’s pale face, and asked, “Why does he have a headache, anyway?”
“This …” Aunt Lucy lowered her head, a little afraid to look at her.
Christine White vaguely sensed something and her eyebrows furrowed, “Something to do with me?”
“Pretty much.” Aunt Lucy returned dryly.
Christine White looked at her, “Aunt Lucy, what’s going on?”
“Hey …” Facing Christine White’s pursuing question, Aunt Lucy sighed, “Forget it, I can’t hide it anyway, so I’ll tell you guys, it’s my fault that Mr. fainted from his headache, it was me who told Mr. that little baby is his son, however, he might be stimulated and got the headache.”
“What?” Ives Norton spit out a mouthful of water straight away and looked at Aunt Lucy in surprise, “Aunt Lucy, how could you tell Baird Lane about Bo’s identity?”
Christine White also pursed her lips, showing that she was in an unhappy state at the moment.
She was also exasperated.
She trusts Aunt Lucy so much.
And Aunt Lucy actually told Baird Lane about Bo’s identity!
She actually trusted the wrong person!
How can Aunt Lucy not feel Christine White’s dissatisfaction with herself, the wrinkled old face is covered with bitter smiles, “Ma’am, I don’t want to say it either, it’s Mr. who guessed that Ann Lane was let go by me, and then pressed me to ask me how I know you, ma’am, and why I betrayed The Lane Family to help you, I have no choice, if I don’t tell one reason, Mr. will definitely kick me out of The Lane Family.”
At that, Christine White looked so stunned that she couldn’t speak.
It did occur to her that Baird Lane would guess that Aunt Lucy had taken Ann Lane out of the house, but it did not occur to her that Baird Lane would kick Aunt Lucy out of The Lane Family.
Because in her subconscious she thinks Baird Lane wouldn’t do that.
But now, she wasn’t so sure.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
Thinking about this, Christine White bit her lower lip and apologized to Aunt Lucy, “I’m sorry Aunt Lucy, just …”
Aunt Lucy knew what she was going to say and took her hand, shaking her head at her, “Ma’am, it’s me, I didn’t hold back from telling Mr. and it put him in the hospital.”
“No, it’s not your fault.” Christine White pulled her hand back and sighed softly, “Maybe I shouldn’t have gotten you involved in the first place and let you take Ann Lane out.”
“I volunteered.” Aunt Lucy smiled.
Christine White didn’t say anything, keeping her head down and not being able to stop thinking about something.
At this point, Ives Norton looks at Aunt Lucy and asks, “By the way Aunt Lucy, you only told Baird Lane the identity of Bo, did you say anything else?”
“No no.” Aunt Lucy shook her head in a hurry, “I only said that little baby is Mr.’s son, but what little baby’s name is and who his mother is, I didn’t say any of these.”
“He must be depressed then.” Ives Norton pointed at Baird Lane, “He’ll wake up and wonder who he was with back then besides Molly Bort.”
“Perhaps Mr. will think of Mrs. then.” Ives Norton looked at Christine White.
Christine White’s brow furrowed.
Ives Norton, however, waved his hand up, “Shouldn’t think on Christine, in Baird Lane’s mind Christine did die, so he won’t think on Christine, at most he’ll think that he cheated on her back then during his marriage to Christine. ”
“It’s possible, but if Mr. really thought about it, he wouldn’t be able to stand it, The Lane Family is taught not to cheat, The Lane Family men, none of them have ever cheated.” Aunt Lucy was a little worried.
At that moment, there was a sudden knock on the hospital room door and Gates’ voice came from outside, “Aunt Lucy, are you there?”
Christine White blushed slightly, “What’s he doing here?”
“Don’t worry, it’s fine, just tell them you came to the hospital to see a friend and happened to see Baird Lane being brought in, so you came over to check it out.” Ives Norton patted her on the shoulder, signaling her to calm down.
Aunt Lucy chimed in, “Don’t worry ma’am, I’ll prove it too and won’t let Special Assistant Gates notice anything.”
Watching the two men advise themselves, Christine White suddenly calmed down and smiled, “Good, then I’ll trouble you.”
“No trouble, I’ll get the door.” Aunt Lucy headed for the door.
The door opened and Gates came in from outside, “Aunt Lucy, what took you so long?”
“Just in the restroom.” Aunt Lucy blurted back.
Gates didn’t suspect a thing and lifted his foot in the direction of the hospital bed. He had just taken two steps when he realized that there were other people in the hospital room, and when he fixed his eyes on them, he realized that it was Ives Norton with Christine White.
Ives Norton He wasn’t surprised, this was the Shaw family hospital after all, but Christine White being here struck him as odd.
Although this Ms. Camp is now very close to President Lane, and President Lane is afraid that he has also moved on to her, President Lane’s sudden headache and fainting will certainly not inform Ms. Camp, so how does this Ms. Camp know?
“Special Assistant Gates, what are you looking at, is there something on my face that you’re staring at me for so long?” Christine White, seeing the way Gates was looking at her in deep thought, knew he must be thinking about the reason she was here, and hastily spoke up to break his train of thought.
Gates snapped back to his senses and smiled apologetically, “Sorry Miss Camp, just had a thought.”
“Never mind.” Christine White returned unconcerned.
Gates had a twinkle in his eye, “How did Ms. Camp get here? And how did she know President Lane was here?”
He eventually asked what he was thinking.
Christine White spelled out the reason Ives Norton had just given her.
Aunt Lucy nodded back, proving that what she said was true.
Gates had only found it odd, not really suspecting anything was wrong with her, and hearing her logical and reasonable reasoning, he completely dropped his doubts and turned his attention to Baird Lane, “President Lane is still awake?”
“He won’t wake up until the sedative wears off.” Ives Norton returned, then went to check on Baird Lane’s IV.
Gates nodded in the affirmative.
Aunt Lucy suddenly inquired, “Where’s Doctor Luise I asked you to find?”
