Chapter 13 - Is this All Just A Coincidence?

The surprised voice of the bodyguard suddenly rang out. "What?" Wyatt was taken aback. He quickly looked at the little boy. At this moment, the corner of the little boy's mouth, which had been constantly bleeding, had indeed stopped bleeding. After a moment of stunned silence, he knelt down directly to Hayley: "I'm sorry! I misspoke just now. Please save him. You must let him live!" "I will definitely save him. You don't have to do this," Hayley said. As she spoke, she had already inserted another silver needle into the boy's Neiguan acupoint. "But he needs surgery as soon as possible. All I can do is stop the bleeding and let him hold on until he gets to the operating room." "Okay, as long as you help him hold on until the ambulance arrives, I can promise you anything!" Wyatt said solemnly to Hayley. Hayley didn't speak, but focused on inserting the silver needle into the boy's acupoint. At this moment, Bailey, who was standing not far away, was completely dumbfounded. What's going on? Hayley knows acupuncture? She can save people? How is this possible? A person who has been in a juvenile detention center for three years and hasn't even finished high school, how could she possibly know first aid? And while she was staring at Hayley's back in amazement, Hayley had already stood up. "The bleeding has stopped." "Great! Thank you, thank you so much!" Wyatt couldn't help but shed tears.

His son was the most important person in his life.

No one knew how desperate he felt when he saw his son lying in a pool of blood just now.

At the same time, the sound of an ambulance siren could be heard not far away.

Soon, the ambulance arrived.

"Hurry, take him to the hospital."

Hayley put the silver needle back into the cloth bag and put it away.

Now that the ambulance had arrived, she had nothing else to do.

"Wait!"

Wyatt seemed to have remembered something and hurriedly ran to his car to take out a box and handed it to Hayley.

"This is for you, as a thank you. When my son recovers, I will send you a big gift!"

"Oh, by the way, your name is Hayley, right?"

Hayley nodded, "Yes."

She didn't refuse and took the box directly from Wyatt's hand.

After Wyatt gave the box, he was busy directing the medical staff who came down from the ambulance to lift his son onto the ambulance.

Bailey was still standing dumbly in place.

When she saw Hayley walk past her towards their car, she suddenly woke up and immediately caught up with her.

"Where did you go?"

Hayley opened the car door and got in, and Madam Collins immediately questioned her angrily.

The driver had already found a nearby road that could be used, but because Hayley and Bailey hadn't come back, their car had to stay here.

"Watching the show," Hayley replied calmly. She didn't mention that she had just saved someone's life. Firstly, even if she did, Madam Collins wouldn't believe her. Secondly, Madam Collins would definitely ask for an explanation, which Hayley couldn't provide at the moment. She wondered what Bailey would say later.

Madam Collins was even more furious after hearing Hayley's response. "It's already this late, and you still have the time to watch the show? Think about how you're going to please your grandmother and uncle at the birthday banquet later! You have nothing in your head every day. Do you expect me to pave the way for you all the time?"

The more Madam Collins looked at Hayley, the more displeased she became. At this moment, all the good impression Hayley had accumulated in the jewelry store and art exhibition disappeared. She once again thought, how good would it be if she had only given birth to one daughter? Hayley was just a useless waste! How much ridicule would she have to endure from the ladies' circle because of the other party's incompetence?!

Madam Collins became angrier the more she thought about it, so she turned her head to the other side. At this moment, Bailey silently got on the car.

However, she didn't say anything and didn't report to Madam Collins.

Hayley looked at Bailey with some surprise.

Bailey seemed to not notice Hayley's gaze and was still lost in her thoughts.

At this moment, she was still in extreme shock and couldn't recover.

She couldn't understand how Hayley could possibly know acupuncture and first aid!

Even if Hayley had been attending school during her three years in juvenile detention, it was impossible for her to have learned these skills!

So, even now, Bailey still couldn't accept the fact that Hayley had stopped President Perez's son's bleeding.

But soon she thought of another possibility.

Perhaps it was all just a coincidence?

President Perez's son wasn't seriously injured to begin with, and even if Hayley hadn't intervened, the bleeding would have stopped soon anyway.

So, Hayley just got lucky and it wasn't her doing at all!

Yes! That was the only explanation!

Otherwise, Bailey couldn't imagine how Hayley could possibly know medical skills.

"Bailey! Bailey?"

Just as Bailey was lost in thought, the car had already Arrived at it's destination.

Madam Collins pulled Bailey's arm when she saw her sitting there motionless. "What's wrong?" Bailey raised her head, a little confused, and realized they had already arrived at the hotel where the Collins Family was holding a birthday banquet. "We're here! What's wrong with you? You've been absent-minded since we got in the car. Are you feeling unwell?" Madam Collins was worried. If Bailey was not feeling well and couldn't attend the banquet, she would lose her pride and wouldn't be able to receive the attention of other relatives. And if everyone focused their attention on Hayley, she would not only lose the limelight but also be embarrassed. The thought of what might happen made Madam Collins want to strangle Hayley. Bailey quickly put on a sweet smile. "No, I was just thinking about the research topic for our group and got distracted." "Mom, don't worry. Let's go in and not keep Grandma waiting." "Okay!" Madam Collins saw Bailey's reaction and her heart, which had just been suspended, settled back down. Her youngest daughter was thoughtful and sensible. Then she looked at Hayley, who was as fat as a pig, and couldn't help but frown.

This Time.

Once again, she regretted the idea of letting Hayley out of the juvenile detention center.

When Madam Collins and the others entered the hotel private room, all the other relatives and guests had already arrived.

Today is Old Madam Collins' 66th birthday banquet, so it naturally had to be a big event.

Not only did they choose the location at a famous five-star hotel in Pearl City, but they also invited distant relatives who they usually didn't interact with.

As soon as Madam Collins and the other two entered, they immediately became the focus of the crowd.

A middle-aged woman in a pink suit stood up from the crowd.

She had stylish curly hair, dyed champagne-colored, and because she wore a two-carat diamond ring on her hand, she had to toss her hair every few minutes.

This middle-aged woman was Juniper, the third daughter-in-law of the Collins Family.

Most of the women relatives of the Collins Family were sitting at the table with Juniper, and someone immediately echoed her words as soon as she spoke.

"That's right! It's understandable that the second brother couldn't come back from his business trip, but it's inappropriate for you, the second sister-in-law, to be late!"

"Old Madam Collins is usually the best to your family. If you don't value her like this, it will make the old lady feel sad!"
