Waiting For The Prey
Looking at Juan, Nicole asked, “Are you planning to do something?”
“Mommy, you’ll do something anyway if I don’t do it. Am I right? In that case, why don’t you let me help
you? I can settle it by making a phone call.”
After giving it some thought, Nicole replied, “Okay, I’ll leave it to you, then. However, can you retrieve
the money for them? I can tell that they are now in dire straits without the money.”
“Mommy, I know what to do. Besides, I’m ready to pay for the money out of my own pocket if I can’t get
the money back.”
“Well, I’m relieved to hear it.”
An hour later, several men in a black suit arrived at that couple’s house and knocked on the door. The
husband was bewildered the moment he opened the door.
“Who are you?”
“This is the medical fee that the hospital conned you into paying. Please keep it.”
“What? Did you get the money back for me? Thank you so much!”
“You’re welcome. Mr. Juan instructed us to deliver the money to you.”
Even though the husband had no idea who Juan was, he still thanked Juan non-stop. The bodyguards
smiled in relief and comforted him before they left.
Knowing that the matter was settled, Nicole felt relieved and overjoyed. She gazed at Juan and asked,
“By the way, why did you come over? Is anything the matter?”
“Um… No.”
“Don’t beat around the bush. You can return to your office if there isn’t anything you want here. You
can’t help me out with my tasks, anyway.”
Juan’s face fell. Huh? Is Mommy chasing me out?
“Mommy, I can’t return to the office yet. There’s something that I have to do here.”
“What is it about?”
Juan’s mind whirred before he answered, “I’m waiting for someone!”
“Who is it? Is your friend coming to the hospital for treatment?”
“No, Mommy. It’s not my friend. It’s…”
“Who is it? Stop hemming and hawing. Just spit it out!”
“It’s Sally.”
Nicole gazed at Juan bewilderedly and asked, “Are you saying you’re meeting Sally here? Why don’t
you ask her out to a coffee shop or a shopping mall instead?”
Juan was rendered speechless. Mommy, I’m not having a date with her. I came here on purpose so
that I could monitor the mysterious woman, for I’m worried that she will hurt you!
Since Juan thought he had to keep it from Nicole for the time being, he made up a random excuse and
said smilingly, “Mommy, Sally said she wants to come here and help you. That’s why I’m here waiting
for her.”
“She offered to help me, and you came all the way to wait for her. Well, it seems that the relationship
between you and Sally is progressing smoothly.” Nicole scanned Juan as she said.
Juan was speechless. My god. Since when am I in a relationship with Sally? I’m merely a hunter who
has to keep an eye on the cunning fox!
“Mommy, don’t worry about my relationship with Sally. Since there are many things that you have to
handle in the hospital, you should get going. When she’s here, I’ll ask the staff to assign some tasks for
her.”
After pondering over it for a while, Nicole replied, “You’re right! There are many patients today. Well, I
have to get going.”
Juan’s eyes beamed when he looked at Nicole, who had left for the other ward. He couldn’t help but
feel that his mother was the most beautiful woman when she treated the patients.
“Juan, why are you here? Why aren’t you in the office?”
A familiar voice came from Juan’s back. He didn’t have to turn around to find out who was talking to
him.
“I’m waiting for the prey!” Juan turned around and scrutinized Sally.
Meanwhile, Sally was taken aback. “You aren’t here to wait for me on purpose, are you?”
“Yes, I am!”
“Do you know that I’ll be here?”
“Well, I’m good at precognition.”
The truth was that Juan took a shortcut to rush to the hospital once he got the news from Draven that
Sally would come here.
Not long after Sally got close to Juan, she was seemingly eager to meet his family members at Imperial
Garden. Hence, Juan believed that Sally’s ulterior motive was related to his family.
