Love Is Fair by Kerri novel Chapter 271

Chapter 271 She Was Confined

Hailey woke up with a bitter taste in her mouth. Then she smelled the strong odor of medicine. Since she was not completely sober, she

thought that she was back to the days when she was in Fenneth.

“She woke up! She woke up!”

Hearing some shouts near her, she opened her eyes to find herself surrounded by many people. As soon as she tilted her head, she met Owen’s face just a few inches away. Then she saw Sofia, Jared, Ryan, Brook, Matthew, Catherine, and Bob. With a frown on her face, she

murmured in a husky voice, “Why are you all here?”

Owen looked at her anxiously. “Hailey, how do you feel?”

“Bitter” Hailey pressed her lips together. Then she said simply, “Water.”

“Okay, water. Give her some water. Be quick!”

Catherine fetched a cup of water and handed it to the person in front of her, who gave it to the next one. Finally, Owen got it.

Leaning against Owen’s arm, she gulped the whole cup of water with the help of Owen. Looking up, she noticed the ward crowded with

people, including Polly and almost all the members of the Moores, which surprised her who then choked on water violently.

All the elders there frowned immediately at Owen.

Steven wore a long face. “Just help her drink it slowly. How could you fail to do that? So stupid.”

Abby was unsettled “What are you doing? Just wipe her mouth.”

Polly came forward by moving the wheelchair. “She is choking on water. Pat her back to help her breathe.”

Being anxious, Owen put down the cup quickly and took some tissue to wipe Hailey’s mouth. Then, he patted her back, wishing that he

had more hands to take care of her. When he just patted her twice, he was scolded by the elders again. “Be tender!” Their voices were so

loud that he couldn’t help sweating.

After drinking the water, Hailey found the bitter taste in her mouth gone. Looking at Ryan, she complained, “Did you feed me some

medicine when I was in a coma?”

“Yes,” said Ryan tonelessly. “I made it very bitter on purpose to make you remember this lesson.”

Hailey was speechless

Jared, Brook, and Owen all stared at Ryan with dissatisfaction.

Brook said, “Hey, Ryan, how could you do that to her? What a poor girl.”

Matthew pressed his lips together and sighed inwardly. He thought. I should be careful not to offend Ryan. Those who are medical

experts are so horrifying. I don’t want to suffer

Since Hailey was awake, all the people in the ward relaxed.

As the head of Traditional Medicine Center, Charlotte asked the Moores to leave the ward with the reason that Hailey needed a good rest.

Steven and Abby asked Charlotte to examine their health and got some traditional medicine from him. Staring at Charlotte who had a

handsome face and behaved in a good manner, Abby asked him with a genial smile, “Dr. Douglas, may I ask how old you are?”

Charlotte smiled at her. “25”

“As the head here, you are so young and successful. Have you got a girlfriend?”

Charlotte kept smiling. “No, I haven’t.”

Abby smiled more brightly. “Oh, good. Gene, my granddaughter, hasn’t got a boyfriend either.”

Standing behind Abby, Gene was surprised. “Grandma…” She thought. ‘Please don’t! It’s so embarrassing.

People in the ward were still chatting. As soon as the Moores left, Jared pulled Owen away from Hailey and surrounded her together with

Brook and Ryan “Hailey, you are not a child now and you have a phone. Why didn’t you ask for help when in danger?” He criticized her and
