Chapter 81 Let Me Stay Here
Soon, another servant was brought in.
She was an older lady and shuddered as she saw the male servant who was beaten black and blue and then looked at Sebastian's stern expression.
She kept her head down while wringing her hands.
Sebastian sat lazily in the wheelchair, with a look of superiority. He gently caressed his son's back with his good-looking hand.
"Tell me, why did you lie?" Sebastian glared at her, his voice seething with anger.
"I...I didn't lie," the older lady replied as her voice wavered and her eyes darted around. She was clearly on edge.
"Well! He's already spilled the beans. Do you still refuse to confess?" He asked in a cold tone which indicated he was furious.
As soon as she heard this, her face turned pale.
They had agreed to never admit to anything.
What a coward! He confessed after just a few beatings. No wonder he would be a servant his whole life.
"Mr. Moore, I had no choice. My husband is bedridden, and we needed money. Someone offered us a sum of money to let us tell you that Eleanor was the one holding Little Young Master. Each of us got 14 thousand dollars, and we haven't done anything else wrong." The older lady wept as she
spoke. Money is something everyone desires, and for regular folks like them, it would take years to save that much.
The four bodyguards were impressed.
Sebastian chuckled. He knew that it was only a distraction.
The seamless cooperation indicated that someone influential within the Moore family was involved in this and was working with Hailey.
"Who gave you the money? If you're trying to deceive me, you'll suffer the consequences." Sebastian's stern voice left the older lady shaken to her core.
She gazed at Sebastian while trembling and replied, "We don't know who the person is. They just called and told us what to do, and then we each received the transfer of 14 thousand dollars on our phones."
"Mr. Moore, we truly don't know anything else. Please spare us. Little Young Master has returned safe and sound."
Sebastian looked at Justin as he said, "Take the three of them to the police station, but keep this discreet and only among us."
"Got it, Mr. Moore."
The four bodyguards left.
Waylon was relieved.
Sebastian looked down at his son's worried face and realized that Waylon really liked Eleanor.
At that moment, Sebastian's phone rang.
It was from Christian.
"How's it going?" Sebastian inquired.
"Sebastian, I've found Eleanor. She's been taken to the hospital and is still unconscious. But she's restless in sleep and keeps calling out for Waylon."
Sebastian asked, "Which hospital?"
"YouHeal Hospital."
"Alright, I've got it. I'll bring Waylon over."
Sebastian hung up, asked servants to get the car ready, and took his son to the second floor to change clothes. After ensuring that Waylon had no injuries, they headed to the hospital.
Inside the hospital ward, Eleanor lay in bed and clutched the sheets so tightly that her knuckles turned pale. Though her face was pale, she still looked stunningly pretty.
With sweat on her forehead. she mumbled in her sleep while moving her head restlessly on the pillow.
Waylon ran over to the bedside and held her hand which was clutching the sheets. He was finally able to visit his mom in the hospital.
Tears welled up in Waylon's big eyes.
"Waylon, Waylon, my dear, where are you?"
"Waylon, I'm so sorry, I'm sorry for everything..."
"Don't come any closer. Stay away from..."
Eleanor murmured, and it was hard to hear her words if not listen carefully.
But Waylon heard every word clearly.
He wiped away tears and reassured her softly, "I'm okay now. I'm fine. You don't need to worry about me. I'm perfectly fine."
Eleanor seemed to have heard her son's voice, and she began to calm down.
Not long after, Eleanor was breathing steadily in sleep.
Sebastian watched his son's back and felt as if his son had turned away from him. It made him a bit frustrated.
"How's Eleanor doing, Christian?"
Christian glanced over at Eleanor and responded, "She's got minor internal bleeding, and her body is bruised. But surprisingly, she's recovering incredibly fast. She can be discharged after she wakes up tomorrow. The accident scene was quite terrible, but thankfully, both of them were unscathed. Her friend picked up the driver, and I brought Eleanor to the hospital. They were going downhill, and Waylon was telling the truth."
"The big truck is scrapped, so we can't find out the owner's identity. It was just left abandoned on the road, and the driver is clearly experienced since no clues were left behind."
Christian narrowed his eyes which looked so deep and said, "What happened tonight was carefully planned. Many people work together, but the one who gets the benefits in the end is Hailey. She's going to use this and force you to marry her since she has saved Waylon's life. This is all part of Hailey's scheme."
As Christian spoke, Waylon's big eyes shimmered with determination.
He wasn't going to let any of these people get away with it.
Looking relaxed and confident, Sebastian gently caressed his chin with his fingers.
He had his own plans now and wasn't about to let Hailey off the hook so easily.
The hospital room suddenly fell into a hushed silence.
There was only the faint sound of Waylon sobbing.
Sebastian looked at his son's back and furrowed his brow as he watched Waylon and Eleanor holding each other's hands tightly. He said, "Waylon, let Dad take you back to have a rest. Eleanor is safe now."
"Be a good boy, Waylon," Sebastian tried to pull Waylon into his arms as he maneuvered the electric wheelchair closer.
Waylon dodged his hands, looked at his Dad, and said, "Dad, I want to stay here, please."
Sebastian's gaze grew deeper. His son had never begged him before, but tonight, he'd pleaded with him many times for Eleanor's sake.
"Waylon," Sebastian said with a serious expression and in a low voice, "How did Dad teach you? Instead of pleading..."
"Dad, it's different this time. Aunt Eleanor got hurt because of me," Waylon said with a determined gaze.
It was an emotion that Sebastian couldn't quite grasp. He didn't quite understand his son, and it seemed like there was a wall between them.
In the end, Waylon won, but instead of leaving, Sebastian also stayed in a VIP ward next door.
In the ward, Sebastian turned to Christian and asked, "Do we have any leverage over Hailey?"
Christian pondered for a moment and replied, "Beckham from the Lin family is Hailey's second choice. They are having an affair. She wants to marry you while flirting with Beckham."
Sebastian's eyes narrowed, and he asked, "How's the investigation of what happened tonight going?"
Christian looked somewhat exhausted and replied, "We haven't found out much yet. Their influence extends far, and the personnel in Sannot Courtyard change frequently, which gives them a chance."
Sebastian added, "In that case, let's expose the evidence of Cameron's bribing online. This time, it should cost him dearly. Then, we'll start taking down the Logan family. You have three months to do that. There is no need for the Logan family to continue existing."
Christian nodded and said, "Understood."
Back at the Logans' mansion...
Hailey returned, but she was feeling worried.
Sebastian's attitude was ambiguous, and she couldn't tell if he truly believed her.
At that moment, a servant came and said, " Ms. Logan, Kingston has arrived."
