Chapter 114 Christopher, Can You Do Me a Favor?

“Stop scaring me,” Johnson shouted, but his eyes were filled with fear. Before I could respond, he quickly ran away!

“Alright, Elissa, I have something to do right now. I’ll call you back later. I hung up Elissa’s call and looked at Ethan, who was silent the whole time. “Are you just going to watch your dad hit your mom like that?”

Ethan shrugged. Tm not as strong as he is, and he doesn’t listen to me.”

I was furious and didn’t know what to say.

Beata; despite her pain, spoke up, “Ethan, can you step out for a bit? I want to talk to your cousin.”

Ethan agreed, “Okay.”

After Ethan left, I pulled a chair to the bedside. “Are all your wounds treated? Is there any place that was missed?”

“No. These injuries look severe, but thanks to the doctors and security, it wasn’t too bad.” Beata shook her head. She seemed even weaker than the last time I saw her, with silent tears streaming down her face. “I want to divorce him, but he won’t agree.”

I sighed, “Don’t worry, I’ll figure something out.”

Johnson wasn’t Christopher; divorcing Johnson wasn’t that complicated.

But first, we needed to ensure Beata’s safety so she won’t get beaten again.

Beata looked a bit apologetic and held my hand. “Alright, I’m sorry for troubling you so much.”

“We’re family.” I shook my head and started peeling some fruit while checking on Beata’s condition. Seeing that she was getting sleepy, I got up to leave.

As I reached the door, Beata called out to me. ‘Hope, 1…”

I turned back and saw the struggle and hesitation on Beata’s face. Curious, I walked closer and asked softly, “What’s wrong?”

“You…” Beata hesitated, her hand on the blanket clenched into a fist, and tears started flowing again. After a long while, she finally spoke, as if making a very difficult decision. “I have something to give you.”

I was puzzled. “What is it?”

Beata didn’t respond immediately. Instead, she got out of bed and asked me to help lift the mattress. From underneath it, she pulled out a small cloth bag

Beata carefully opened the bag and took out a jade rabbit pendant. Although the string on the pendant was slightly discolored, the pendant itself was clearly very valuable.

It was evident that the quality wasn’t something commonly seen in recent years.

Beata put the pendant around my neck with a serious and solemn expression. “Hope, don’t lose this.”

I refused. This is too valuable; I can’t accept it.”

She said, “This belongs to you.”

Beata looked at me intently, her c

filled with unspoken words. Finally, she just said, “Trust me.”

1 hesitated and asked, “Is this something my parents left for me?”

Even if my parents were wealthy, it would have been difficult for them to buy something of such rare quality.

Bea for a moment, then helped me put on the pendant and tucked it into my collar, avoiding my gaze. “Yes, just think

it that way.”

Just t

Just think of it that way?

Her words confused me, but it was clear Beata didn’t want to say more. “Alright, I’m tired. You should go home.”

I left the hospital full of questions, and even while driving, I kept touching the pendant.

Strangely, the moment I touched it, it didn’t feel unfamiliar.

It felt like I was touching something that belonged to me.

But as far as I can remember, I’ve never seen this thing before.

At that moment, Christopher called. My mind was preoccupied, but I answered without hesitation, “Hello.”

Christopher’s tone was calm. “I heard something happened at the hospital?”

I glanced at the traffic light and slowly pressed the brake. “Yes. Christopher, can you do me a favor?”

I wasn’t sure if Christopher would agree.

We had a big fight yesterday, and the internet was still buzzing about it.

Christopher might not be willing to help me. But besides Christopher, I didn’t know who else to ask.

It sounded like Christopher was signing some documents; I could hear the scratch on paper. His voice was low. “What is it? Go ahead.”

I replied, “I need to borrow a couple of bodyguards for the hospital.”

I could replace a lawyer myself.

But reliable bodyguards? That was out of the question.

I’ve seen how capable Christopher’s people were; one of them could easily handle five like Johnson.

To my surprise, Christopher agreed, “Alright.”

I silently breathed a sigh of relief and felt the need to explain, “The stuff online, it wasn’t me.”

Christopher spoke calmly, “I already know. It was the Hammer family. I’m sorry for wronging you.”

1 forced a smile. “It’s okay. It’s not the first time you’ve misunderstood me.”

Christopher asked, “Do you have time now?”

I asked, “What’s up?”

Christopher’s tone was slightly cold. “Can you come to the office? I want to ask you about Brenda in person. I should be the one coming to you, but given the current situation, I really can’t leave.”

I figured it must be because of the video of Evelyn and Brenda that a passerby took yesterday.

I pressed my lips together. “Alright, I’m coming over now.”
