Chapter 1198
"This kid thinks he's so clever." The one speaking was the man who had taken Sean and Betty from the hospital.
His name was Tommy, and he used to work on construction sites. However, he had a reputation for being
unreliable. The more serious workers didn't want to associate with him.
He didn't mind. He would happily work for a couple of days when he felt like it, and then return to the dorm to drink
alone whenever he got tired or annoyed. Even when he drank too much, he usually didn't cause trouble.
However, one time, he got drunk and smashed a fellow worker's head open at the construction site.
The court had ordered him to pay for the medical expenses and compensate the victim with twenty thousand
dollars. Altogether, the total expenses he needed to pay added up to nearly a hundred thousand dollars.
Tommy had no way out.
Through some connections, he found Enzo.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThat was when Enzo started using him. He realized that Tommy lived up to his name-he wasn't just ruthless, but
also had no sympathy.
What was more important was that Tommy knew everything about every worker on the construction site. No
matter where he was, he always had access to information. When
Enzo asked Tommy questions, Tommy answered everything with great confidence.
As a result, Enzo came up with a plan.
After he had caused chaos at the Fulcher family’s home during the day and discovered that Julian and the others
weren't at home, Enzo quickly learned about Diana being hospitalized.
Shortly after that, he had Tommy infiltrate the hospital as a janitor. Once Tommy had familiarized himself with the
hospital's layout and Diana's hospital floor and staff schedules, Enzo gave him a task—to retrieve Julian's child.
Now, Tommy had succeeded. He even managed to take both of them!
Enzo looked at the two kids he had carelessly thrown on the ground, laughing wildly.
Then, he kicked one of them and said, "Hey! Wake up!"
The place where Sean had been kicked hurt badly. It felt like someone had threaded a needle through his ankle,
causing him excruciating pain.
He reluctantly opened his eyes, and instinctively searched for Betty.
There! She had been brought here too!
Was she okay?
Sean's tense heart relaxed slightly when he saw Betty lying beside him. Suddenly, he felt a new wave of pain. He
lowered his head to see that his ankle was already swollen, and there were imprints of someone's foot on his pants.
"What are you looking at?"
Enzo strangely disliked this kid. He always felt that despite the boy's young age, he had an indescribable level of
calmness-just like Julian.
Such calmness was unsettling, but Enzo couldn’t admit that he was scared by a little boy. He could only use the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmabsolute power of an adult to suppress his unease and subdue Sean completely.
Even though Sean was in so much pain, he didn't even furrow his brow.
"Who are you?" he asked Enzo, before turning to Tommy." You broke your promise."
They had agreed to exchange him for his sister, but Tommy had taken both of them.
Tommy raised his hand, and slapped Sean on the forehead. Sean's forehead turned red.
These people didn't care if the opponent was a child, and attacked indiscriminately.
Sean was in so much pain right now. He wanted to cry, and he was also scared. He thought he would remain calm
after experiencing so much, but in reality...
In the face of the physical pain, he was gradually losing his confidence.
Thankfully...
These people didn't hurt his sister. She hadn't been kicked, either. She was still unconscious beside him.
Sean bit his lip. Using all his strength, he lifted Betty and let her rest on his lap. His face turned red from the
excruciating effort. He then bent his back over his sister to shield her, assuming a protective posture like a shrimp.
After he was finally done, sweat was visibly pouring down his forehead. However, he gritted his teeth and didn't
utter a word.
