Chapter 1521
Vanessa changed the subject. "The soup is almost ready. I'll go check on it."
Julien pulled her back and said, "Vanessa, even if you aren't thinking for your sake, you should think about Lawrie. He has been insecure all this while because he doesn't have his father's love. Do you want him to continue feeling that way?"
Vanessa certainly wanted a fatherly figure to love Lawrie. She wanted her son to be able to live in a happy family like Larry and grow up without worries. However, she still had a lot of considerations in her mind. Her biggest concern was Julien's family.
His sister, Karen Joy, told Vanessa today that their mother was very kind but Vanessa was still doubtful. After all, in a daughter's eyes, a mother must be the best woman in the world. But, that mother might not treat outsiders the same way, especially one from such a rich and powerful family.
After thinking about it, Vanessa used all her strength to pull her hand away from Julien. "Julien, I'll prepare the meal first."
Julien was slightly disappointed. "Vanessa..." Vanessa couldn't bear to see him sad, thus she took two steps before turning back. "Give me one more night to think about it and I'll give you an answer tomorrow."
Julien could only nod. He did not want to force her to do anything.
"Alas, these men, what are they thinking?" When Levi came out of the ward, he was still thinking about the men of the Kyle family. He was deep in thought so he did not notice at all when someone came rushing towards him from the opposite direction. Meanwhile, that person was running too fast as well, hence she did not see Levi either. She ended up crashing right into him.
The woman crashed heavily into Levi, which made him spin around a few times before he could regain his footing. He was about to curse but when he looked closer, he immediately stopped cursing and put on a smile. "Miss, there are many people in the hospital. Don't run so quickly. You could bump into someone and hurt yourself."
"I'm, I'm sorry!" Monique stared at him with unconcealable surprise in her eyes. There were a hundred voices in her heart. "Levi? Is this Levi? Is this really the infamous and arrogant Levi Brown?"
"It couldn't be!" she thought.
Levi was arrogant and domineering; he was very unlikeable. However, the person in front of her at this moment was polite and gentle. When he spoke, there was a faint smile in his eyes.
Levi noticed her giving him a once-over like she was trying to figure out if he was a stranger or if he was someone she knew. There was also a hint of familiarity in her eyes as if they had met somewhere before. "Miss, have we seen each other somewhere before?" © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
"No, I don't think so." Indeed, this person was not Levi. If it was him, he would definitely have shoved her and made a sarcastic jibe at her. Not only did this person not laugh at her, but he was even concerned about her. This person was way more pleasant than Levi.
"Oh, you look kind of familiar but I can't remember where I have seen you before." Monique was very beautiful, she had the kind of face that people would not forget throughout their lifetime. Levi looked at her with only one thought in his heart: He wanted to pursue her and make her his girlfriend. "Miss, look at you running so quickly. Do you have an emergency?"
The man in front of her looked exactly like Levi. His enthusiasm was making her a little embarrassed. However, seeing how friendly he was, she politely replied, "There's someone in my family who needs to be hospitalized."
Her family member was sick and staying in this hospital. Levi felt that this was an opportunity sent from heaven. He planned to use this to get closer to this beautiful young lady. "I am quite close with the director of this hospital. If you need any help, just let me know and I'll speak to him for you. There should be nothing that I can't handle."
"You want to help me?" Monique stared at him with a complicated expression. She didn't recall Levi having any twin or brother of any kind. Who was this man who looked so similar to him? Why was he so kind? Could it be that Levi was trying to make a fool of her?
For someone as petty as Levi, the possibility of such a matter was quite high.
"Of course, if you need anything, you can look for me any time." This beautiful woman's voice was familiar to him but he was too focused on her physical appearance, therefore his other senses were slightly duller. No, not just slightly, but a lot duller.
Was he really willing to help her?
What the hell was Levi up to? Monique wondered.
"My grandfather needs to be hospitalized but there are no more beds left in the hospital. So, I can't admit him... I don't know why. Can you help me?" Monique didn't understand what tricks Levi was up to but she still wanted to see if he could help her find a solution to her problem.
Her grandfather urgently needed to be admitted to the hospital but there were too many patients here and the hospital capacity was not enough. If she wanted to admit her grandfather, she had to wait in line. Who knew how long it would take? Monique was willing to take the risk with Levi because she was too worried about her grandfather's condition.
"Miss, please wait for a moment. I will call the director now." Levi smiled and called the director, Marcus Hudson, in front of Monique. "Marcus, my friend's family member is ill. He needs to be
hospitalized right now. Can you arrange for it immediately?"
She couldn't hear what the person over the phone said, but at the end of the call, Levi said, "We are in the lobby on the ground floor of the inpatient department. Send someone over to take this lady to handle the paperwork. This can't be delayed. The sooner the better."
Sometimes, she had to admit that it was good to have power and influence. Monique had been going around for two days but she was still unable to find a solution. However, everything was instantly settled with Levi's phone call. "Thank you."
"Don't mention it. If there is anything you need, you can call me at any time." Levi took out a business card from his pocket and put it into Monique's hand. "The director has sent someone here. You just have to go with them to settle the admission procedures. Contact me when you have time."
"Thank you!"
Monique followed the doctor for a while before a middle- aged woman came over. "Monique, who is that man?"
"I think he was one of my comrades in the army."
"What do you mean 'you think'?"
"It looks like him, but the way he behaves is totally different. I don't know if he was my comrade or not."
Behind them, Levi watched as Monique walked away. He was practically drooling at the sight of her. He had not seen such a beautiful woman for a long time. Just a word from her mouth was enough to make his whole body tremble in delight.
Levi took out his mobile phone and called Marcus again, "Marcus, once they've completed all the paperwork, send me the patient's information as well as the contact information of the guardian."
He had given his number to Monique but he wasn't a passive guy who would wait for her call. Levi had always liked to make the first move. When he fancied a girl, he was very proactive!
