Chapter 640
He realized his hand was still holding Haley 's fingertips, , and this woman had shifted from passive to active, hooking her index finger around his.
When he moved slightly, she gripped his hand even tighter.
The feeling of being needed and relied upon gave Martin an unprecedented sense of pleasure.
Sitting by the bedside, Martin answered the phone and whispered, "What's the matter?"
"Boss, we found out that the four kids were abroad by Thomas from the Ellenstein family, and the destination is the small town where the Haley lived for four years."
"Arranging for a few men to follow them," Martin said coldly. "Keep an eye on them for twenty-four hours."
As soon as Martin finished speaking, he felt the grip on his hand loosen.
Looking down, he saw Haley, who had her eyes tightly closed before, now staring at him with a clear, emotionless look...
Martin suddenly felt guilty and hung up the phone.
"Who were you just talking to ?"
As Haley spoke, her voice was hoarse and broken, each word seeming to be forced out from her throat.
Martin uncomfortably tugged at the corner of his lips. "It was a call from Robert."
"Are you having the children monitored?" Haley stared at Martin, struggling to speak. "Yes, I intentionally sent the children away."
Martin narrowed his eyes, full of vigilance. "Why?"
"Why do you think I did this, can't you guess it?" Haley shouted, her voice even hoarser. "It's only been a year since we got married, and you already have a mistress outside. Such a marriage won't last at all. Instead of fighting for custody of the children in the future, I'd rather hide them away in advance. Yes, I'm a despicable person. Ivan, that's how despicable I am! I gave birth to four children with great difficulty, and I won't allow you to take them away!"
Haley suddenly sat up and pulled out the needle from the back of her hand.
Bright red blood gushed out, staining Martin's white shirt red.
Martin furrowed his brow and held her down. "What are you talking about? When did I agree to a divorce? When did I say I wanted to fight for custody? Stop being paranoid!"
"You are trying to take my children away !" Haley shook her head in panic, pale and weak. "Emily wants to take Keith and Owen away, and you are even more terrifying, you want to take Angela and Todd away. Did you marry me just to get the four children? Ivan, let me tell you, unless you step over my dead body, I will never give my children to you!"
"Stay calm!"
Upon seeing the blood continuously flowing from Haley's hand, Martin felt astonished.
Haley had always been calm and composed, but when it came to the children, she became so frantic.
"I only had people secretly protect the children's safety, not to fight you for custody," Martin said, pressing Haley's shoulder. "Lie down first, I'll call a nurse and treat your wound."
"No!" Haley widened her eyes and shook her head vigorously. "You're lying to me, just like Emily lied to me about Keith and Owen's death, you're all lying to me."
Haley got off the bed and tried to run out.
But Martin pulled her into his arms and said, "Haley, I really never thought of taking the children from you. What do I have to do for you to believe me?"
"Unless you call Robert in front of me and tell him not to send anyone to follow them!" Haley grabbed Martin's collar, enunciating each word. "If you dare to have someone follow the children, I'll die right in front of you!"
Martin frowned.
The reason he had arranged for people to follow was that he thought Haley had figured out his identity and wanted to hide the children.
But now it was clear that Haley was just afraid of a custody battle in case of a divorce, so she sent the children out of the country.
As long as his identity wasn't exposed, there were many things he could overlook.
"Fine, I'll call Robert."
Martin compromised, taking out his phone, and made a call.
Haley lowered her eyes slightly, her chin tightly clenched, as if she couldn't barely hold on any longer...
