Come back to Me, My Ex-Wife novel Chapter 32

When Pierson was left, Golden lit up a cigarette and made a few deep puffs.

The smoke of tar went deep down to his throat and soothed his flutter. Gradually, he recovered his state of being hard-boiled.

If Margery was the lady who called him, why didn't she contact him in these five years?

If she wasn't Margery, why would she know his old number?

The cigarette end was glowing red, and his face became indistinct behind the grey smoke.

Pierson was pretty efficient on this. Soon, he placed the files about Margery's location and profile on his desk and made an elaborate report, "Mr. Barrett, we contacted the personnel on telecommunication and transportation department through relationship network and acquired the information about the woman. She is Margery Byrne, a doctor, and principal of Bok Hospital. Now she is at the kindergarten where Layne is studying. To be precise, she is looking for her son Ethan along the hill."

It was Margery, the doctor of Bok Hospital, again!

He gave a sign to let him continue.

Pierson glanced at the end of the report and became constrained, "Besides, I also contacted the principal of the kindergarten. He said that Ethan incited all the classmates to beat Layne. He had informed Ms. Martin, and then she brought Layne to the hospital very soon. So, the six calls from Ms. Martin may be related to this."

Hearing this, Golden frowned, "He got beaten? How is he?"

"Well… I haven't call Ms. Martin back yet."

Golden gave him the order and walked out of the office straightly.

Pierson followed with two phones in his hand.

…

Several minutes later, Pierson was waiting for the green light on the driver seat and glanced at the mirror by chance, from which he saw the man laid on the back seat was smoking frequently. He smoked one after another, and his dark eyes were shining.

Having been used to his poker face, Pierson felt a little bit surprising and praised, "Mr. Barrett, it seems like you are in a good mood today."

Golden raised his eyes coldly and said, "keep driving."

"…"

Pierson was frightened and stopped making any guess. But he was so curious about the lady who made Golden change, making him shining like a sun.

Golden didn't put Pierson's words in mind. He took the phone he used now and called Vivian back, "It's me! How is Layne?"

"Golden, I have called you six times. Do you just finish your meeting?"

Her soft voice and the sense of feeling wronged in her words could only make people feel tender and protective toward her. "It is said that Layne is beaten by his classmates, so I bring him to the hospital. The corner of his mouth bleeds a little, and various bruises are on his arms and legs. The doctor checks him over and finds no damage to the internal organs. Apart from these, I have something else to tell you."

"Golden, I was about to find the parents of that bad kid and demanded them to say sorry to Layne in the hospital, but Layne didn't want me to do so. He said almost every child in the kindergarten was afraid of hurting him and avoided playing with him except the kid's sister, and if I did so, even she would leave him behind. So, I want to know your opinion."

"Now he is not that healthy, so you should calm him down and do what he wants."

Golden finished his words and hanged up the call. He asked Pieron coldly, "Is everyone there?"

"Yes. They are heading for the hill."
