Seeing that Maryanne was about to leave, one of them hurriedly reached out to stop her.
Maryanne waved her hand away and shouted, "Get lost!"
"Miss Smith, are you going to find him?"
It went without saying who this "him" referred to.
Maryanne asked angrily, "Are you trying to stop me?!'
"If you don't want to see him get worse, then it's best not to go."
Maryanne asked anxiously, "Are you threatening me?"
"Miss Smith, you'd better go home."
"I won't go back!" Maryanne roared. "Don't follow me anymore!"
After saying that, she ran out of the hotel, took a taxi on the side of the road, and went straight to the hospital where Milton was in.
As a result, as soon as she got out of the taxi, the group of people followed her, staring at her neither too far nor too close.
Maryanne's face was pale. She was already one foot in the entrance of the hospital, but she did not dare to enter.
This group of people would not hurt her, but it did not mean that they would not hurt Milton.
What happened before was still vivid in her mind. She couldn't let Milton get hurt anymore!
However, he was inside! Couldn't she even take a look at him?
Maryanne could not help but burst into tears.
People in the hospital walked past her calmly. There were people dying every day in this place, so it was not strange that someone cried.
Seeing that Maryanne did not enter, the group of people did not get too close to her. However, as soon as she entered, even if Milton was already a cripple, they would still teach him a lesson!
Maryanne stood in the same place and cried for a long time. Finally, she gritted her teeth and wiped away her tears as she pulled her foot back.
She didn't know where to go next. Anyway, she would never go back to the Home of Smith. Originally, she felt guilty about running away from home, but now she just wanted to quarrel with her brother!
Turning around, she rushed to the group of people and said, "Give me your phone. I want to call Hobart!"
Those people were not afraid of Maryanne fooling around with them. After all, there were so many of them, why should they be afraid of her?
After Maryanne got the phone, she pressed a string of numbers on the screen and dialed.
After a while, Hobart's voice rang out. He had thought that his man was calling to report on the situation, but he heard Maryanne's cold sneer.
"Maryanne?"
"Don't call me that!" Maryanne scolded him angrily. "Hobart, you've gone too far!"
"Maryanne, what have I done?"
"Don't play dumb! You actually got someone to hurt Milton and you're stopping me to see him!"
"Maryanne, make yourself clear. I got someone to hurt Milton?" Hobart's voice sounded more emotional than hers.
Maryanne's face showed a hint of confusion, "... Wasn't it you who asked someone to hurt Milton?"
Hobart said quickly, "I have never given such an order! I just asked them to separate you from Milton."
Maryanne did not know whether to believe him for a moment. "But Milton is already injured! They're still trying to stop me from seeing him!"
Hobart said angrily, "Maryanne, hand them the phone and I'll ask them about it!"
"Alright..." Maryanne shoved the phone back into the hands of that group of people and said with confidence, "You're doomed! My brother wants to teach you a lesson!"
Addressing Hobart as her brother meant that Maryanne was wavering deep in her heart.
After the group of people took over the phone, they heard Hobart's earth-shaking roar, and several sentences were even transmitted to Maryanne's ears, all of which were criticizing how they could hurt others so casually!
Maryanne did not know, but did Hobart’s men not know?
Mr. Smith was obviously trying to win his sister's favor by scolding them!
Yes, Mr. Smith did not personally say something like "beating Milton", but everything he said revolved around it.
After they let Hobart curse them for a long time, the group of people handed the phone to Maryanne and said resentfully, "Miss Smith, it's all our fault. We accidentally hurt your lover. Please forgive us!"
"Do you think you'll be forgiven after you apologize? No way!" Maryanne snatched the phone away and said to Hobart, "Brother, I want to see Milton!"
Hobart's tone was full of embarrassment. "Maryanne, it's not that I don't want to let you see him. It's just that dad and mom are both very angry this time. Unless you obediently go home and apologize to them and swear to never see Milton again, I can only promise to let you see him, otherwise..."
Maryanne's beautiful face darkened. "You know that's impossible! I've already decided to be with Milton for the rest of my life. Unless you guys want me to be a nun, I won't compromise on this matter!"
Hobart took an inaudible breath and said, "Since you insist, there's nothing I can do."
Maryanne softened her voice and said, "No matter what, you can always let me see Milton, right?"
"Maryanne, I said that this is not a decision that I can make. After you ran away from home, in order to plead for you, I was already scolded by dad."
Hobart sighed faintly. "Or is it that you only care about your lover, but don't care about my life at all?"
Maryanne muttered subconsciously, "No..."
But what happened? Her men reported that Maryanne did not want to come back.
Damn it, she didn't want to come back!
She was addicted to staying in a "trash dump", wasn't she?
Every day, Hobart would stare at the photos sent by his subordinates. Most of the photos were taken when Maryanne went out to buy some food.
Every time Hobart looked at the plastic bag which was filled with unhealthy food in her hand, his heart could not help but throb.
Sometimes, Tony and Jazmin would ask about her situation. After seeing these photos, they also felt distressed.
"Is she tormenting herself or us?" Jazmin choked with sobs.
Although Tony remained silent with a cold face, he did not stop knocking his index finger on his knees, which exposed his restless heart.
Hobart forced a bitter smile and said, "How about... I bring her back?"
"You're not allowed to go!" Tony said coldly, "She still has a place to live and food to eat.
It's obvious that she hasn't reached a desperate stage yet. She'll be back when she can't even satisfy her physical needs!"
Hobart's eyes narrowed as an idea suddenly appeared in his mind.
*
Maryanne went out to buy food as usual at noon.
As a result, as soon as she got out of the hotel, she saw Jarvy standing outside, well-dressed, with a bunch of roses in his hand.
When he saw her, Jarvy's eyes lit up. He took the roses and walked over to her. "Maryanne, what a coincidence."
Maryanne avoided the roses he handed her and asked coldly, "How did you know I'm staying here?"
Jarvy smiled and said, "I called you several times, but you didn't answer. Your brother was the one who told me that you are angry with your family and are currently living outside.”
Maryanne was a little displeased. "He even told you this?"
Jarvy said sincerely, "Maryanne, I don't mean to laugh at you. Please don't misunderstand."
Maryanne smirked. "Did he tell you why I ran out?"
Jarvy nodded. Hobart had already told him on the phone.
Maryanne could not get over her exboyfriend. For him, she did not hesitate to fall out with her family. Without bringing anything with her, she ran away from home.
