Ex-husbands love novel (Sharon and Fameson)

Chapter 484: Return the Favor

As Martin Morton came out from the ward, Aylin and Mrs.Morton walked over to him immediately,

asking anxiously, "Martin, how is he?"

"Dad's asleep. The doctor says he's recovering pretty well.Don't worry."

Mrs.Morton sorrowed on the chair, "You don't have to try to comfort me.No one knows his condition

better than I do.His waking hours are becoming shorter--most of the time, he's sleeping.How well can

he be?"

Martin got down before her.

"Mom, the doctor has said that he will get better with time.Go back and rest.You've been here for many

days."

"What do I need rest for? You are the one that needs it the most.You've been back for so long, yet you

haven't even gone home once."

"I'm fine.There are still things to be dealt with at the company..."

"Martin" came Aylin's voice, "You should listen to mom.Go home.If you also fall sick, we will have no

idea what to do with the situation right now."

Martin slowly stood up.

"Alright.Then I'll go home for now.I'll come back later tonight."

Just as he was about to leave, Mrs.Morton held his hand.Her face was much more solemn this time.

"Martin, I have something to tell you"

Aylin got anxious upon hearing the words.

She grabbed Mrs.Morton's sleeve, "Mom.....” Mrs.Morton said, "It's already too late.You'll have to tell

him the truth.He's gonna see it when he gets home.You'll have to explain it sooner or later."

Aylin turned pale, unable to say a word.

"What's wrong?" asked Martin.

"Your sister did something silly.She had Jameson Proctor's ex-wife pushed into the water.It caused a

big disturbance then.Luckily, the woman was saved."

Martin lightly squeezed his lips and slowly said, "I know this."

But the matter was far more complicated.

Mrs.Morton continued, "Your sister apologized to her.We thought that the matter was resolved.But...but

who would've thought that people are now using this as a threat against us.Your sister has got

insomnia because of it.She's grown so weak!"

Aylin bit her lips and struggled hard to open her mouth, "It's my fault after all.I have to accept whatever

consequence that might follow.But.....but you see how dad is right now.The doctor says he can't take

any more shock.So many people have their eyes on us right now, trying to get the goods on us.If the

news spreads out, it will be the end for our family!"

"Who is threatening you?"

"It's...it's....."

Aylin couldn't spit it out, so Mr.Morton did it for her, "It's Natalia Beale."

She sighed, "That child grew up also under my watch.I cant believe now she's turned against us, even

though Aylin did make a mistake.We are afraid to let your father know it.So we have no choice but to

keep Natalia at home now."

Aylin followed up, "Martin, perhaps you don't know what happened to the Beale Family....."

"I do,'' said Martin.

He was worried about Sharon Allyson, so he kept himself updated about what was going on here even

though he was in Switzerland.

Sometimes he learned the news a little late or the details not so clearly.

But something as significant as the Beale Family's incident, how could he not have heard? Aylin fell

onto the chair as if losing all her strength, covered her face with two hands, and cried, "I really don't

know what to do now.Jameson Proctor's men are looking for her.If he finds out that we are keeping her,

he won't let us off the hook! But I'm also afraid to let dad know....."

Martin got down before her and thought for a long while. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

"Sis, no matter what happens, you are always one of the Mortons.The family will bear any

consequence with you."

"But dad....."

"I'll have people watch over him.He'll never know anything."

Mrs.Morton frowned upon hearing this, "You plan to hand Natalia over to Jameson Proctor? Have you

considered the consequence? If we do this, the Morton Family could be finished."

"The Morton Family has long been an empty shell.If Sharon had not sacrificed herself to negotiate with

the Proctor Family, we wouldn't have lasted even till now."

Mrs.Morton was shocked and speechless.

When the engagement with the Proctor Group was dismissed, they thought that it was the end for

them.

But to their surprise, the several corporations with the Proctor Group kept going.

They helped the Morton Group survive all the way to this point.

Martin added, "We owe Sharon.Now we have to return the favor, bit by bit."

Mrs.Morton and Aylin both stopped talking.

After some time, Martin asked, "Is Natalia Beale still at the Mortons'?"

Aylin nodded with her eyes swollen, "She stays in the backyard.She ordered me around, but since dad

fell ill, I sent a servant to her.And I ordered the servant to keep it a secret."

"Alright."

Aylin grabbed his shirt as he was getting up, "Martin, what are you going to do? Giving her to Jameson

Proctor? If it makes a big noise, I'm afraid....."

"Leave it to me.I'll handle it properly"

Aylin moved her hand back.

Having left the hospital, Martin sat in his car and called Jameson.

"Mr.Morton, you're so anxious to talk business with me"

Jameson's cold voice came from the other side.

"I need to talk to you, Mr.Proctor."

"I don't think we have anything to talk about."

"Then I'll talk to Sharon."

"....What is it?"

Jameson licked his teeth and asked.

"I know where Natalia Beale is."

"Where?"

Jameson got serious.

"My home."

Jameson snorted.

It was obvious to him why the Morton Family would keep Natalia Beale with them.

He tapped on the desk with his long finger and said nonchalantly, "So Mr.Morton wants to place justice

over loyalty?"

"My father is ill.My mom and sister were afraid that it would aggravate his condition.Natalia used it to

get the better of them.But I promise you that I'll hand Natalia Beale over by the end of today"

"Great, Jameson answered with narrowed eyes.Martin put down the phone and drove towards the

Mortons’.
