Chapter 20 The person behind her is a martial artist
Rory paused on the other end of the phone and answered irrelevantly, “Mrs. Finnegan, where are you now?” Could she have really gone…
really!
“I’m in New York, I just got off the plane, it’s so cold!” Aurelia couldn’t help shivering.
It’s still autumn in China, but here the temperature is already several degrees below zero.
Rory opened his mouth speechlessly. Aurelia really ran to New York. “Madam, go have a cup of coffee first. I’ll ask someone to pick you up.” As long as Aurelia and Callum are not divorced, Aurelia will be the Madam of the Finnegan Clan. She must get all the treatment that a Madam of the Finnegan Clan should receive.© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
She wanted to refuse, but when she saw the snowflakes falling from the sky outside, Aurelia turned around and went to the cafe.
ICU
The woman looked dumbfounded at the skinny old man in the ward, who was lying quietly on the bed with various instruments and tubes inserted into his body.
“What’s wrong with the old man?” she asked softly to the driver who was picking her up at the airport.
The driver answered truthfully, “To answer Madam’s question, the old man has not been in good health in recent years. He had a serious illness three years ago and has been in a coma ever since.”
……so poor.
Aurelia looked at the motionless old man with pity. He should be at this age enjoying his old age with his children and grandchildren, but he was lying in the intensive care unit in pain.
After leaving the hospital, Aurelia raised her right hand to catch snowflakes one after another, and only retracted it when her hand was almost frozen. She took out her phone and sent a message to Callum, “Why didn’t you tell me about the old man’s condition in advance!” It made her make an extra trip.
However, thinking that the old man is also her grandfather, Aurelia helplessly asked the driver next to her, “Who usually takes care of the old man?”
“There are special caregivers, and Mr Finnegan and his wife come over often.”
Aurelia finally asked a few more symbolic questions before leaving the hospital.
Rory had arranged the resting place in advance, which was Callum’s property in New York. After entering the room, she realized that Rory had arranged her in the villa room that Callum stayed in most often every time he came to New York.
Rory is really thoughtful, but it’s a pity that she and Callum are not meant to be together…
After sitting on the plane for more than ten hours, Aurelia went to the hospital without any rest. At this moment, she was too sleepy to move anymore.
But when she thought that this was Callum’s room and Callum’s bed, she endured her fatigue, took a shower, and fell asleep.
zl Group
Callum put the document aside and glanced at the text message on his phone. He replied to the other party with a few words, “You didn’t ask.”
When Callum received the text message from his so-called wife yesterday asking him to let Evelyn go, he was speechless. It was clearly her who filed for divorce, so why did the text message sound like he was begging her for a divorce? And she dared to give him conditions?
Then he put away his phone, raised his head and asked Rory calmly, “What’s her situation in New York now?”
She? New York? Oh! Rory was stunned for a moment, and instantly realized who he was asking about. “Madam came back from the hospital after seeing the old man and went straight to the villa on Elmwood Avenue. She is currently resting in the villa.”
“Well, when will she return home?”
“I didn’t ask about that. Madam doesn’t seem to have booked the ticket yet.”
“Postpone all your plans for tomorrow and book me a flight to New York.” Go see grandpa and talk to her face to face about the divorce.
“Yes, Mr Finnegan!”
Aurelia came to New York with great difficulty and originally wanted to have a good time, but she saw Evelyn sent her a WhatsApp message saying that her aunt had been in a car accident.
She had called her uncle to ask about her aunt’s condition, and fortunately it was not serious. But she was still worried, so she packed her bags and went to the airport.
So, just as she boarded the plane back home, Callum arrived in New York, and the two of them inadvertently missed the opportunity to meet as husband and wife and discuss divorce.
It had been six days since Callum came back from New York. Before he had time to rest, he had to rush to a private club to meet an important client.
As night slowly falls, the low-key Bentley speeds along the wide asphalt road.
It was rush hour, and there was a bit of traffic jam at the intersection. Opening the car window, Callum took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a deep puff to relieve his fatigue.
The car was blocked at the entrance of an alley. There was a group of people in the alley. Seven men surrounded a woman against a wall.
When he saw the woman’s appearance clearly, Callum exhaled a puff of smoke to hide the strange look in his eyes.
The eight people did not fight too much. When a man raised his hand, the woman raised her leg and kicked away the man who was about to attack.
Rory was a little annoyed by the traffic jam. He was afraid that the guy behind him would get angry, so he started to look around.
Until a cry of surprise was heard, “Mr Finnegan, isn’t that… Aurelia?” Oh my God, a woman fighting with 1234… seven men?
Callum put out the cigarette and exhaled the last puff of smoke, “Shut up!” He was not blind, of course he could see that the one fighting was that little girl.
Rory pushed open the car door and was about to get out when a man’s cold voice came from the back seat, “Once you get out, don’t get back up!”
“…” This sentence stopped Rory’s steps. “But…”
Callum ignored him. If a woman who could be beaten by eight or nine well-trained security guards was defeated by seven thugs, then Callum must have made a mistake in choosing the right person.
The second cigarette was lit, and Callum curled the corners of his lips imperceptibly, “You go slowly, I’ll go first.”
The club is not far from here. If you drive there, you may have to go around in a circle. If you walk, the straight line between two points is the shortest.
In the alley, Aurelia, who had just beaten up the thugs, was bent over, holding her knees with her hands and breathing slightly.
She just came here to use the restroom, and she ran into a group of hooligans. This area is the territory of Kyoto’s high-end clubs, and the public security is pretty good, so Liana chose to sing on the streets nearby.
Therefore, this group of thugs who suddenly appeared must have been instructed by someone, but unfortunately… they all ran away without her catching any of them.
At this moment, steady and powerful footsteps sounded behind her. Aurelia, who had just finished fighting, immediately became alert. Feeling that the person behind her was very close to her, she quickly stretched out her hands and attacked him.
However, it did not have the expected effect. As soon as she turned around, before she could touch the other person, he slipped behind her.
…After nearly ten years of martial arts training, Aurelia could tell from one move that the person behind her was a skilled martial artist.
Whether it was the security guards on the cruise ship or the gangsters just now, this man could knock them all down with just one hand and 30% of his strength.
And she needs 70% to 80% of the strength of both hands…
