Chapter 873 Are You Deceiving Me?
The glass of water fell to the ground. The glass broke as it spilled the water. One of her servants immediately looked at the situation. “Miss Alaia?”
Alaia waved her hand,indicating that everything was okay.She then looked at Kane and said, “Uncle Moran, what do you think you are doing?”
Her tone was calm,but the smile on her face was completely gone. Her face had turned cold,showing how she was displeased by his action.
Relying on some alcohol, Kane continued to yell, “What do you think I am doing?Your cousin is going to have a funeral today. But you and your father don’t seem to care. Your father doesn’t even answer my calls these days. What exactly is he doing?Is he avoiding me?”
“Dad is not feeling well and needs to rest. If you want to ask something,wait for him to recover and come back here.”She paused while looking at him with a meaningful look. “However, if you really wanted to push your agenda then go on. But I don’t think Dad will be happy about it. You know how people does when they’re sick,right?If they’re not feeling well, they’re also not in a good mood.”
Kane was taken aback because of what she said.
He was actually afraid of Ray. But because of Kelly, they were able to make Ray obedient which made him forgot his fear toward him. Now that Kelly was dead, he had to think carefully and wonder if he did something wrong. Why was he not answering his calls?
But the thought of Kelly made his heart ache,and the fear was covered with grief.
“Don’t scare me!I’m here today to visit your father. You said he’s sick.I am his brother-in-law so I want to know how he is doing.”He walked past Alaia and started climbing the stairs while calling Ray. “Ray,I
came to visit you. Are you feeling better,Ray?”
Seeing that he was about to go upstairs, Alaia suddenly panicked. She hurriedly ran to catch up and blocked his way. “Dad is not feeling well. Why can’t you understand that he doesn’t want any disturbance?He needs to rest. If you’re not going to listen, he will be angry. And you’re just going to worsen the situation!”
Being blocked, Kane stopped in his tracks. But this time,he wasn’t taken aback. He pondered on her words and actions as assumptions started to form inside his head. One corner of his lips twitched,revealing a smirk.
“Alaia,what kind of tricks are you playing with me?Your father is not sick at all,is he?”He pointed to the upstairs,as if he had everything under his control.”He actually isn’t there at all,is it?”
If he was here,he would have been alarmed by such a big movement.With Ray’s temper,even if he didn’t
reprimand him,he would send someone to drive him out.
But now,even if there had been such a loud noise,only this little girl was stopping him. There was obviously something wrong.
“You’re wrong!”Alaia denied,mustering up the courage to raise her head. “My father is upstairs in the room. As I said, he is resting because he’s sick. He doesn’t want to see you too until he gets better, Uncle.But if you still insists, then do it.”
Withdrawing her hand, she stood straight with a look of letting go.
Such calmness made Kane hesitant.
Squinting his eyes and leaning against the railing of the stairs,Kane looked at her. Then looked upstairs, and back to her again. After repeating this several times, he pointed at her. “You’re lying to me,aren’t you?”
“Why would I lie to you,Uncle?I don’t see any benefit of me lying to you.”Alaia sneered, then glanced around at the people he brought. “Uncle Moran,I understand your feelings. But I will never understand how you brought so many people in my house. Who are you trying to embarass?If it wasn’t for Dad not feeling well,do you think you could come in so easily?”
When her uncle wasn’t able to reply, she continued. “Also, if I’m really lying to you,Dad will always come back. And knowing what you did today,I wonder what he will going to do to you when he finds out.”
Those words made Kane tremble. Ray’s cold stare flashed in his mind which made him felt sobber as chill ran down his spine.
He took a step back but still hesitated to back down. He looked at her suspiciously. “Is your father really sick?Why was he sick?What’s the cause of it?”
Pursing her lower lip,Alaia said,”He’s just overworked. His body is a little weak and he needs to rest.”
“Really?”Kane continued to ask, “Have you been to the hospital to see a doctor?Which hospital did you go to?Is it reliable?Otherwise, let’s go to another hospital to make him feel better the soonest.”
Seeing that he was about to go upstairs again, Alaia hurriedly said, “It’s the doctor Dad often sees.She is very reliable,Uncle. Don’t forget that Dad has a high status.He doesn’t just go to any hospital.”
“That’s true,but our doctor is not just any doctor either.” “He cleared his throat before continuing. “Anyway..I’ve come all the way.I really need to see your father,,so I can’t just leave like this. Will you let
me see him?”
He was still skeptical,feeling that Alaia was up to something.
He hadn’t seen Ray for several days, and he couldn’t get through the phone..Rumors had started going around in private too,so saying that Ray was attacked and dying. Some said that he was missing. Others had. said that he might have been arrested for committing a crime. But it was just suppressed and didn’t come out in public.
The death of his daughter was already a great blow to him. Adding all these rumors made his heart into complete turmoil.So he couldn’t afford to leave without getting a clear answer. He had to see Ray for himself.
“Uncle Moran… “Alaia sighed. “Are you even listening to me?How many times do I have to tell you that Dad doesn’t want to see anyone!”
Kane let out a cough He glanced at the people before looking at Alaia.”Alaia,do you even know what’s going on?Rumors about your father is circulationg around the area.”He lowered his voice as he muttered the last sentence.
Alaia pursed her lips,but said nothing.
“Of course, I won’t believe those nonsense, but I just want to confirm it myself. I’m worried about him.So let me see him,okay?I’m sure he won’t be mad at me.”Rolling his eyes, he continued, “Or, if you have something you can’t tell others, why not tell me?Maybe I can help you.”
Seeing that he was too difficult to deal with, she sighed. She glanced at the people in the living room before looking at him with a small smile.”Do you really want to see my dad?”
