"I would like to have told you earlier," Ronald started to vomit. Hazel sighed with frustration.
There was nothing they could do about the situation, and it was useless to talk about it.
The most important thing was to find Rachel and then find out why she would go to the city without telling anyone. She even kept it a secret from her family. There was definitely something going and finding her was the only way to figure out what she planned to do.
"Brother, when did Mom go out?" Hazel asked.
"I don't know" Ronald frowned. "But I guess she left early in the morning."
Hazel is only even more stressed. If what Ronald said was true, then Rachel had been in the city for more than an hour, so why hadn't she reached out to her?
"Oh, I know, I will call her," Hazel said. She hung up on Ronald and quickly called Rachel. She was expecting that she would not answer, so she was startled when she answered right away.
"Mom, where are you now?" Hazel demanded.
"I am in the hospital now, and I am just getting ready to go in." She said.
"Hospital? How come you are at the hospital?" Hazel suddenly worried, "Are you hurt or what happened..."
"Don't worry, I'm fine, I just came to meet some people." She said.
Hazel was relieved for a brief second, then she was immediately worried. The Flores family were at the hospital. Rachel wouldn't be going to meet them, right? She tried to get the thought out of her head, but what she was most afraid of was that so in her mind, that was the only possibility.
"Which hospital?" Hazel asked.
"Oh, I am sure you can guess?" Rachel said, "Oh, I won't tell you. I am there." She hung up.
Hazel felt a chill run down her spine. She was terrified, her eyelids were twitching even faster. Although Rachel did not say what hospital she was at, Hazel was almost certain that she was at the hospital where the Flores family was.
It was terrifying, what she was most afraid of was happening. Hazel was desperate.
If Rachel went to find the Flores family, she presumably knew something. The Flores family didn't like her, and her mother would definitely protect her, she pictured a horrible scene when they met.
Joshua was not there, and she was thankful for that. She was going to try and settle the matter first; as long as she could find a way to send Rachel home, things would return to normal.
Hazel rushed out of the office and drove to the hospital. She took the first parking spot she saw and ran to Lanny's room. She pushed open the door and was in shock.
She had been so worried the entire time and imagined that the hospital would be in chaos with fighting and yelling, the Flores family would be put in place with Rachel's skills.
However, the situation in front of her made her feel uncomfortable. It may not have been harmonious, but there was no fighting from either side. The attitude of the Flores family toward Rachel did not seem great, but they were not screaming.
Looking at them talking together, Hazel felt even more uneasy. She was sure that the Flores family had contacted Rachel, but the question was why.
Before they had just wanted to reunite with Joshua, Hazel began to think that it was not simple any longer. Also, the one who was controlling the Flores family was still a secret, why did they not reveal who they were?
The situation was becoming even more confusing, she had to be careful.
"Mom..." Hazel came to Rachel's side, and she looked suspiciously at Caroline.
Caroline did not look at her at all. Instead, she smiled and said to Rachel.
"I am sorry, Mrs. Crowe. Since you have arrived, we should treat you well. My husband was just discharged. So, if you don't mind, come home with us, and we will talk."
Hazel felt like she was going to be sick. What did Caroline want to talk about? She may not have said anything before, but it didn't mean she wouldn't say anything later.
"Well, I will just go home with you." She said quietly.
"Then wait a moment, I will go to help my husband to finish the process of the discharge," Caroline said.
"I will go with you," Rachel said.
"Mom, you aren't familiar with this place. I will go with her." Hazel hurried to say.
"Okay. You go and come back soon." Rachel did not seem to care too much.
Hazel accompanied Caroline out of the room. The two of them entered the
elevator together. Hazel confirmed that no one was coming. She endured the anger. "Caroline, you found my mother, right? What do you plan to do?!"
"I will do nothing," Caroline looked at her coldly. "Hazel, I just think that you are too careless, so I wanted to remind you."
"I will find a way to deal with Joshua, but if you dare to involve my mother, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Hazel said angrily. Her family was her breaking point, nobody could touch them, not even the Flores family. She was not stupid enough to hurt her loved ones to please others.
"Then we will see how you behave, if you make me unhappy, maybe I will say what I am not supposed to say?" Caroline sneered and said without fear,
"And, from what I heard, Lily was bullied very badly. I will make you take care of her. You actually made her be a servant and let people bully her?"
Hazel clenched her teeth with some helplessness. This retribution was really fast, Caroline obviously wanted to avenge Lily and then bully her. It was a lesson for her. She took a deep breath and pressed down the smoldering anger of her heart.
"Well, no matter what you make me do, I will cooperate with you. But if you dare to say something to my mom, you won't get me to help you again!"
Caroline nodded proudly. It is a promise.
The discharge procedure was soon completed, and they all walked out of the hospital together.
Hazel called two cars, but Henry suddenly said, "It's too troublesome to call two cars. Hazel, don't you drive? Dad, Mom, Mrs. Crowe, you can just take one car, I will drive with Hazel."
She lifted her eyebrows and gave Henry a look of disgust. Henry actually wanted to be in the same car with her? It was clear that he had other reasons.
"I think this arrangement works perfectly," Caroline looked at her with a smile. "Right, Hazel?"
