Chapter 585 Dangerous
In the Howard Group's president's office, Hayden took a few sips of ginseng tea and was about to stand up when Andrew entered the room. "Grandfather, Mr. Clark has come to visit."
"Hurry up and invite him in!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Richard strode into the office and greeted him. "Hello, Hayden! I took the liberty of coming to visit you without informing you first, I hope I'm not disturbing you, am I?"
"No, no. You must have something important to tell me, right?" He invited Richard to sit down and asked.
"Yes! I have great news to tell you!"
"Is it about William? Is there any news about him? Is he still alive?"
"Yes, he is! He asked me to tell you to take good care of yourself! Take it easy. He will come back soon. As for his wife, please take care of her for him. We can't let her be in any bit of misery!"
Richard decided to add the last bit about taking care of William's wife himself. Hayden was responsible for taking care of Valeria, and he had changed his attitude towards her because William was gone. If he knew that William was still alive and well, would he change his mind?
He didn't know what to expect, so he wanted to test the waters to see how Hayden would react.
"Great! My dear William is still alive! Andrew, did you hear that? Your uncle is still alive!"
"Yeah, grandpa! It's such good news that uncle is fine" Andrew was also very excited.
"I know that my son is blessed! Tell him that I will take good care of his wife and son so he can carry on in peace. By the way, where is he now?"
"He is abroad now, with the Floyd family." Richard replied in relief.
"The Floyd family? He's with them?" Hayden was shocked.
"Yes, Fandrey and his wife dote on him very much. Don't worry, he is fine."
"No! The Floyd family... they're dangerous! Tell William to be careful, it's best to leave right away and not stay there."
"And what's the reason for this?"
"It's a long story. In short, I don't want to have anything to do with them. Same goes for William too. Tell him that if there is no other important business to deal with, don't stay there anymore and leave as soon as possible!"
Seeing Hayden's serious expression, Richard did not dare to say anything about William's memories, "Okay, I'll tell him. Don't worry!"
"Did you talk to Valeria about this yet?" Hayden asked again.
"Marcus went to the hospital to tell her. She should know by now."
Hayden was a little worried. He called Lucas again and asked, "Did anything happen at the hospital?"
"The auntie just called and reported that Mr. Field had gone to visit Valeria. She is currently in a very good mood. It's just that she has severe morning sickness, so she can't eat anything other than sour food," He replied.
"What are we going to do? What if my grandson gets hungry because of that?" Hayden was thoroughly worried.
"The doctor said that it's normal, so it'll be fine after a while. Don't worry." Lucas had no choice but to comfort him.
"How can I be at ease?" He sighed and hung up the phone. He looked at Richard and said, "Valeria has severe morning sickness. She can only eat sour foods, and I'm very worried. You have to find a way to bring William back as soon as possible. She'll definitely be better with his company. In addition, he has a lot of ideas so he'll definitely think of a way to help her feel better."
"Alright, I'll tell him about it, and I'll take my leave now. Please take care."
In New York at the Floyd family's mansion, William put away his phone and leaned against the bed, lost in thought after his video call with Marcus. Someone knocked on the door, and Deborah came in with a tray in her hand. She smiled while entering and said, "My dear grandson, I asked the kitchen to prepare some bird's nest for you to nourish your health."
"Thank you, grandma!" He stood up to receive the bird's nest. She sat next to him with a wide smile. "You need to eat more because you're too thin now! Good boy, do you still have a headache?"
"I'm feeling much better!" He replied.
"That's good. Your grandfather and I are relieved." She lowered her voice, "Your girlfriend didn't eat much for dinner. After suffering so much today, she must be very upset. If you have time, you should comfort her."
He laughed. "Grandma, that was just an accident. It's alright, she won't take it to heart."
"It wasn't an accident." She lowered her voice, "Angel must be behind this."
He put on a bewildered expression, "Angel? What does this have to do with her?"
"Did you forget about what happened during lunch? Your grandfather scolded her, so she must have been jealous of your girlfriend. That's why she took revenge on her."
"Ah? Over such a small thing? I don't think so." He continued to play dumb.
"Hey, why are you so confused? You are as pure and innocent as your mother. That girl, Angel, has a very strong desire for revenge. Whoever provokes her, she will think of ways to retaliate back. Natasya has fallen into her trap today."
"Ah, is that so? Isn't... isn't this a little too much?" He continued to act shocked.
"You think she is vicious, don't you?"
"A little."
"You don't have to hide anything when you talk to me. Your grandfather and I also think that she is vicious, but there is nothing we can do. She has been like this since she was a child. Maybe it has something to do with her mother." She sighed.
"With Aunt Veronica? Is it because she spoiled her too much?"
"No, she's not Veronica's child, she's your uncle's child with another woman... It's a bit complicated. Some habits she had when she was taken couldn't be changed. It's too bad!"
She sighed, "Let's not talk about her anymore. Let's talk about you. Tell me honestly, do you really like Natasya?"
"Grandma, why are you asking this?" He asked.
"I am worried about you. You are so pure and defenseless. If this goes on, you will definitely be bullied. Your grandfather and I are old, so we can't take care of you for a lifetime. We have to make sure that you marry the right person."
Deborah phrased it nicely by saying that he was 'pure and defenseless'. What she actually meant was that he was ignorant and incompetent.
He didn't know what to say, so he said, "Grandma, I won't be bullied, don't worry."
How could she not worry about him, though? "How can I not worry when you've been bullied to this extent? Natasya said that your father doesn't like you, and his ex-wife also abused and schemed against you. We believe what she said about his ex-wife, but we find what she said about your father very odd. Natasya's mother is friends with your father's oldest daughter, and she's been behaving weirdly these past few days. We think that she might have an ulterior motive towards you."
