Chapter 289 Whether He Was Going Or Leaving, It Was Up to Him
For some reason, Adele only felt that these words were a little ambiguous. She coughed twice unnaturally and said casually, “Let’s talk about it later. I’ll hang up first.”
As she spoke, she hung up the phone in a panic, her heart pounding.
After lying down for the whole night, she only felt that her chest was aching, but she could not turn over. She could only turn around and lie down for a while to ease the pressure on her chest.
Not long after, someone knocked on the door. Grandma came in with a servant and brought breakfast.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
“Adele, how is your rest?” Grandma asked as she stepped forward.
“Grandma, I feel much better,” Adele said softly, forcing a smile on her face.
Even though her back hurt terribly, she still had a strong smile on her face in front of Grandma.
Grandma saw this and felt the pain in her heart. She took the porridge bowl from the servant and said softly, “Adele, don’t move. Grandma will feed you. This porridge is easy to digest…”
When Adele heard this, her heart warmed. When she saw the old man feed the porridge to her mouth with a spoon, her eyes became moist.
She could not be considered to be Yusuf family’s person now, and she was really touched that her grandmother could treat her like this.
“Silly child, why are you crying?” Grandma picked up a tissue and wiped the corners of her eyes.
“Thank you, Grandma. You have never treated me as an outsider.” Adele sniffed and said softly, “Thank you, Grandma. You have never treated me as an outsider.”
“In my heart, you are never an outsider.” Grandma smiled and said softly.
She had always liked Adele. In addition, last night, she had stepped forward to protect Damon without hesitation. In her heart, she had already decided on her.
“Quick, come and eat obediently. After eating, take the medicine. Only then will you be able to recover quickly.”
After being coaxed by the old man to eat, Adele felt warm in her heart. It was as if the pain in her back also eased a little.
After feeding her, Adele got up and tucked her in. “Adele, have a good rest. Treat this place as your home. If you need anything, just tell me.” He said softly.
“Got it, Grandma.” Adele smiled sweetly at her.
Soon, Grandma left. Adele lay on the bed and could not fall asleep either. He simply turned on the light music on his phone and closed his eyes to rest.
The warm gaze hit the bed through the window. Unconsciously, she fell asleep.
After an unknown period of time, when she woke up again, she heard footsteps coming from the door.
When she heard the sound of the door opening, she instantly sobered up a little. She raised her hand and turned off the light music on her phone.
“Miss Wes, are you awake?” a cold and distant female voice came.
Adele didn’t turn around and recognized that it was He Shuping’s voice.
She took a deep breath and said softly, “She’s awake.”
Then, Yu Qingshan said in a stern voice, “Shuping, just tell her directly.”
Hearing this voice, Adele was startled and instantly sobered up a bit. He quickly forced himself to sit up.
“Mr. Yusuf, Mrs. Yusuf.” She greeted them politely.
Seeing this, He Shuping immediately came forward and whispered, “You don’t have to get up. I just came over to talk to you.”
Seeing Yu Qingshan’s serious expression, Adele took a deep breath and took the initiative to ask, “It’s okay, Mrs. Yusuf. If you have something to say, just say it.”
He Shuping paused and glanced at Yu Qingshan. Then she turned back and said to Adele, “It’s what you said yesterday. We have already investigated. Since you really had a certificate with Damon before, we won’t say anything. But later you divorced, and you were the one who suggested it, right?”
“I was the one who suggested it,” Adele nodded.
“Since you mentioned a divorce, isn’t it inappropriate for you to stay by our Damon’s side?” He Shuping said tactfully.
How could Adele not understand the meaning of her words? She took a deep breath and whispered, “I also thought about it, but my work contract has not expired yet. Before that, I can’t leave my job yet.”
Hearing this, Yu Qingshan’s face turned a little green, and he snorted coldly, “Humph! What can’t you leave your job? I think you just don’t want to!”
“We, Yusuf family, are not people who can enter just because they want to. Just tell me what you want, and I will grant it to you.”
Adele looked up and saw the cold light in Yu Qingshan’s eyes, and her heart became colder.
Unexpectedly, in Yu Qingshan’s eyes, she stayed by Damon’s side with ulterior motives.
She gritted her teeth and said firmly, “I’m sorry, Mr. Yusuf. I stayed with Yusuf Group just for work. All I wanted was a salary. I didn’t think of anything else.”
“I’ve seen plenty of women like you. Why are you keeping me in suspense here? Tell me, how much do you want?” Yu Qingshan asked.
Adele’s heart skipped a beat and she felt a little uncomfortable.
She gritted her teeth and looked at Yu Qingshan, unable to say a word.
Originally, she thought that Yusuf family was as reasonable and kind as her grandmother, but she did not expect that the patriarch of Yusuf family was so narrow-minded.
“Miss Wes, don’t think too much about it. We didn’t mean it that way. There were too many women who tried to trap Damon. We were also worried…”
“Mrs. Yusuf, do you mean that I was also by Mr. Yusuf’s side to set a trap for him?”
“We didn’t mean that.” He Shuping smiled.
Hearing this, Yu Qingshan looked at Adele with a bit more coldness in his eyes. He didn’t expect such a little girl to be so eloquent in front of him and not give in at all!
He frowned and ordered coldly, “Shuping, don’t talk so much to her. Let’s get straight to the point.”
He Shuping nodded and turned to look at Adele, “Miss Wes, it’s like this. Although you are injured, it is not convenient to stay here all the time. We have arranged a hospital for you and we will bear all the expenses. Later, we will send someone to send you over.”
As she spoke, she took out another bank card, “There is 200, 000 on this card. The password is six zeros. It is compensation for your mental compensation and dismissal. You take this money and recover your injuries. You can find a better job. If you need help, you can also find me…”
Adele looked down at the bank card that was handed over and the business card with the contact information of He Shufen written on it. Her head buzzed, and her cheeks burned hot, as if she had just been slapped.
This was completely naked humiliation, completely trampling her self-esteem on the ground.
She gritted her teeth, suppressed the anger in her heart, and looked up at Yu Qingshan and He Shuping, “Mr. Yusuf, Mrs. Yusuf, I was willing to be punished last night. It has nothing to do with you. I don’t need your medical fees. As for this bank card, I won’t accept it. I am the person hired by Mr. Yusuf. It is up to him to decide whether to stay or not. I will listen to his arrangements.”
As she spoke, she got up from the bed, endured the pain in her back, and bowed slightly to them, “Sorry to disturb you. I will go first.”
As she spoke, she turned around and picked up the bag and phone on the bedside table. Under Yu Qingshan’s cold gaze, she walked out of the guest room.
She had a hunch last night that Yusuf family would not leave her here to recuperate. She did not expect Yu Qingshan to be even more excessive than she had imagined!
She gritted her teeth and walked away. When she reached the door of Damon’s room, she unconsciously slowed down.
She did not know how he was doing.
