Chapter 324 Don’t Be a Baby

“How … How is she?” Manuel asked.

Serina cast a stern glance at Manuel and replied, “I thought you didn’t care about Ainsley at all. I didn’t expect

you to ask me how she was.”

“Serina, tell me.” Manuel frowned slightly.

Serina smiled sarcastically, “If you really want to know how Ainsley is, why don’t you ask her yourself? Don’t you remember that you got together with Irene and left Ainsley to **? But now, you came to ask me about

her. Brother, I don’t know if you love her or not.”

Serina stomped her feet angrily. “You! You are a**** With that, she closed the door angrily. Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

Manuel looked at that closed door with a wry smile. How could he not know why Serina was angry? Honestly,

he was extremely reluctant to make this choice.

All in all, considering how far he had come, Manuel did not have the right to regret it, let alone admit it in

front of Ainsley.

At every moment in the study room, Manuel wanted to take out his phone to call Matteo and ask him how Ainsley was doing. However, looking at the screen, Manuel hardly had the courage to dial his

number.

Considering what he had said to Matteo before, now whether he dialed or not, he was like a joke.

Fortunately, Roman called, “Mr. Gage, when Ms. Easton was found, she was thrown at the gate of the University of Washington. A few minutes later, Matteo came over and took Ms. Easton to the hospital. She

should be in treatment now.”

Hearing this, Manuel felt a weight off his mind. He breathed a sigh of relief. “Keep me posted.”

Roman asked in confusion, “Mr. Gage, you were impulsive.”

He was referring to Manuel’s engagement with Irene. Regardless of whether the engagement party was successfully held or not in a month, it would become a barrier between Manuel and Ainsley.

“I see.” He had already considered this before he made his decision, but no matter what, he could not calm down and make the most correct decision when he learned that Ainsley was in danger.

In any case, he would try his best just to ensure her safety.

“So, speed it up. Time is pressing, but I still want to give it a try,” Manuel said in a deep voice.

“I understand.”

In the Gage’s house, Jillian brought the dishes downstairs.

“Serina still doesn’t eat?” Manuel glanced at her.

“Yes, Mr. Easton. She hasn’t eaten for a whole day. I’m concerned about her health,” Jillian said worriedly.

“I’ll give it a try,” said Manuel as he took the tray.

As soon as Manuel got to the door, he heard Serina’s voice. She shouted stubbornly, “I won’t eat it! I said I

wouldn’t eat it!”

Manuel said in a deep voice, “You haven’t eaten for a day.”

There was a long silence inside the door. Serina suddenly opened the door and looked at him coldly. “You don’t have to pretend to care about me. Manuel, I **you. I don’t eat because Ainsley hadn’t eaten anything for so long when she was kidnapped. Brother, I even suspect whether you are the person I know.”

Serina thought for a whole day. She didn’t think that Manuel was pretending. On the contrary, she felt that her brother loved Ainsley very much, but she didn’t know what had happened to change his mind.

“Serina, don’t be a baby,” Manuel said in a deep voice.

Serina could tell that Manuel was very tired. “Brother, can you cancel the engagement party right now? If we had known this would happen, you wouldn’t have told me from the beginning that you loved Ainsley.”

It was a done deal. Manuel looked at Serina helplessly.

Brady and Koen had already discussed it. The cancellation of the engagement banquet was not something that could be easily done. It was a big deal between the Wade family and the Gage family.

“I can’t,” Manuel sighed and said.

“I don’t need you to care about me!” Serina felt limp and slammed the door ***again.

When Ainsley woke up, she felt uncomfortable all over. She slept for a whole day and night before waking up.

on the morning of the next day.

Ainsley looked tiredly at the table at the head of the bed. The metal alarm clock rang and its hour hand

pointed at five.

Ainsley rubbed her aching forehead. The silver needle was sticking to the skin of her left hand. She looked up along the drip and saw that it was glucose.

She had a tickle in her throat, so she coughed a few times but her lungs hurt.

Ainsley thought about what had happened in the past two days. She had been kidnapped, soaked in the rain for several hours on the mountain, and talked to Irene.

There was only one mystery that had not been solved. What exactly did Irene want?

The ward was silent. Ainsley seemed to have spent many years in the heavy rain. The sound of the heavy rain hitting the canopy was so noisy that it gave her a headache. Strangely, she was not used to the peaceful

moment now.

Ainsley looked at the remote control on the table and turned on the TV casually. She preferred a bit of noise

now.

The TV was turned on. Ainsley did not hear the noise clearly. Instead, she was immersed in her own world.

“Mr. Gage… Ms. Wade… Engagement…” In a daze, she seemed to hear a few names. It was Manuel’s name.

Just as Ainsley wanted to see clearly, the TV was suddenly turned off.

Ainsley turned around and saw Matteo looking at her at the door. “Matteo?”

Matteo gently said, “Aisy, the doctor wants you to have a good rest.”

Ainsley looked at Matteo suspiciously, but she still nodded obe**ntly.

Matteo placed the thermos he was holding on the table and said worriedly, “Why did you wake up so early?”

Ainsley said helplessly, “Matteo, I have slept for the whole day and night.”

Matteo opened the thermos, took out a small plate and spoon, and placed them on the small table in front of Ainsley. “I was worried about you. Perla made this soup for you. Come on, have a taste. She’ll be happy if you

eat it up.”

Ainsley smiled and quickly took a sip. She had not eaten for two days and was already hungry.

This soup was made of chicken and mushrooms. The mellow fragrance of the chicken filled the room. There were some basil leaves in the soup to bring up the flavor.

Matteo said, “Aisy, it was Emily who did all this, but she listened to Irene’s order.”

“You know everything?” Ainsley asked.

“In the beginning, Emily and that kidnapper agreed to lock you up in a factory in the eastern suburbs of the city. The kidnapper must have been Irene’s man a long time ago. He made Emily the scapegoat and took you to the mountains.”

Ainsley shook her head. “Matteo, I have some doubts. What exactly does she want? When I was kidnapped, I talked to her on the phone. She seemed to want something else other than money, but I don’t know what it is.”

Matteo frowned slightly. “But she didn’t even take the money.” Matteo’s pupils shrank sharply. He seemed to know what Irene wanted, and she had already gotten it. So Manuel, he…
