She had shut the door in his face. What insolence! After reasoning that Garry and Hilton would never get off her back, Chelsea decided to take the initiative to settle the issue. She called Hilton later that day.
“Chelsea? So, you finally remembered that you have a father? Why are you such an unfilial daughter? Don’t tellyou would have continued to hide from us if your brother hadn't traced you!” Although Hilton was shocked that she contacted him, he got over it and began to scold her.
After rolling her eyes, Chelsea said with feigned sincerity, “I’m sorry, Dad. | didn’t mean to keep you in the dark. It’s just that my schedule has been pretty tight since | cback. | only got tnow. How have you been? Do you still live at that former home? I'd like to visit you soon.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt was pertinent for Chelsea to confirm her father’s location because he and Garry were always moving. They previously owned and lived in a three-story villa.
But things changed after her mother’s death. There was no one to keep Hilton and Garry in check, so they acted more recklessly. In no time, they sold the house and gambled the money away.
Chelsea was in college at that time, so she lived in the school’s dormitory. Hilton and Garry lived in a rented apartment while they were down and out. They had several debt collectors on their necks, so they had to move from place to place frequently.

Chelsea saw through his act at once. He only wanted money from her so he had cup with the perfect excuse. He probably was not sick at all.
But she still played along. “Okay, which hospital are you in? I'LL cover.”
Hilton gave her the nof a hospital without skipping a beat. It was the hospital where Chris worked. A smile appeared on Chelsea's face when she realized that.

Chelsea went straight to the point and said, “My father is in this hospital. And | need you to helpfind out what on earth is wrong with him. I’m afraid that he’s scheming with his attending doctor and they will lie toon purpose.”
