Chapter 450
âŠ.
The phone rang once and was then hung up. It still said, âThe number you dialed is unavailable.â
Austin couldnât help but frown. Where on earth was his sister?
All he could do was send another message to his sister. âSister, where are you? Mom and I have arrived. Which floor are you on? We are coming to you!â
He was frantic with worry. Unfortunately, there was still no response from the other side.
Lady Gill frowned and asked, âWhatâs wrong?â
Austin let out a sigh. âThere have been no replies to my messages, and sheâs not picking up the phone either.â
Lady Gill took a deep breath. âThen have someone take control of this entire building and check everyone of a similar age.â
Austin immediately nodded. âOkay.â Then, he went to give that task to his subordinates.
Lady Gill said, âIâll wait at the entrance. While youâre here, go check on Jackson.â
Austin nodded. Lady Gill went downstairs.
Austin headed toward Jacksonâs ward. Halfway there, he turned back to look at Nara, his gaze dark and ominous as he said, âI suddenly realize something. Jackson must have arranged for you to be an intern on this floor, right? Well then, come over here and take good care of Jackson! OtherwiseâŠâ
Nara immediately clenched her fists, looking like she was about to cry.
Keira stopped her, saying, âNara, you donât need to demean yourself.â
Nara tightened her jaw and waved her hands. She had to be a doctor. After all, she had studied medicine for many years just to become a skilled professional.
When she and her brother were accepted to university, their family was too poor to afford the tuition, so her brother gave up his chance for her.
Her brother once said that although she couldnât speak, she would definitely become a good doctor and might even be able to develop medicine to cure herself. That way, she would be able to speak and call him âbrother.â
For her brotherâs dream, Nara worked part-time and studied hard throughout the years, always ranking first in her class.
Now, she couldnât allow a moment of impulse to ruin her future.
She went straight into Jacksonâs ward with a fruit tray.
Upon seeing this, Keira frowned. She hadnât forgotten the purpose of her hospital visit, so she didnât follow Nara in, but instead, she looked at Austin. âShall we talk?â
Austin asked, âWhat is there to talk about?â
He looked at Keira with disdain. âThere is nothing to be said between you and me!â
Keira sighed. âMy brother didnât falsify that medical report. He had tests done at three hospitals, all showing azoospermia.â
Austin sneered. âAnd then what?â
Keiraâs expression grew grave as she continued. âThen yesterday, all the doctors who tested him went abroad, for the same reason as your hospitalâs doctor, to attend an international medical conference.â
Austin was taken aback.
Keira went on. âSo there must be something going on. Austin, do you want to remain in the dark? Can you get in touch with your doctor? Why donât we get this cleared up?â
Austin stared at Keira for a while before suddenly sneering. âDo you think Iâm going to believe you? Keira, there is nothing we can cooperate on.â
Keira frowned. âWhat Iâm saying is trueâŠâ
âEven if it is true, what of it? Iâve told you this matter has nothing to do with my family, so I wonât help you. The Gill family and the Olsens are sworn enemies! The two familiesâ relations have been severed because of you!â
After saying this, Austin sneered and turned to walk toward Jacksonâs ward.
Keira followed behind him. âActually, the misunderstanding between us is minor, and by now, you should understand that Maryâs child is Ellisâs. She never lived a promiscuous life before. Donât you think you were wrong to slander her like that?â
Austin halted.
Keira detected a hint of change in him and pressed on persistently. âI know youâre not purely evil; you just wanted to boast! You are different from JacksonâŠâ
Austin and Jackson were indeed different.
Austin had a tough side, which was why he didnât tell the truth when Ellis beat him up in the past.
Still, he usually maintained integrity in his actions and dealings. He didnât force himself on Mary, although having boasted about it. Jackson, however, forcefully made moves on a girl like Nara, who was barely twenty years old.
Austin found it despicable, and his pride wouldnât allow it. He could be reasoned with.
Austin sneered. âThereâs nothing different between him and me. You donât need to try and drive a wedge between us.â
âI just want to cooperate with your company for once. Our families have always had a good relationship. Why canât we continue to do that?
âAnd besidesâŠâ Keira hadnât finished speaking when she heard an angry roar from Jackson coming from the ward. âHow can you be so clumsy? You canât even handle some fruit!â
