Chapter 4

Hailey frowned. "Shawn, what's wrong with you? You can't take a few words from me?"

"Don't forget how you joined this company back then. Don't be ungrateful!" The secretary said in a sarcastic tone.

"If President Hailey hadn't pitied you, you would be nothing."

Brian also put on an act and said, "Don't say that about him. He has worked hard in the company for so many years."

Huh!

Seeing their ugly faces, I spat and continued to walk out.

Just as the two of them passed by each other, Brian deliberately stretched out his foot. I was caught off guard and fell heavily to the ground.

My left leg was pulled by a force, and I felt a piercing pain. Cold sweat broke out on my forehead and I couldn't help but scream.

The secretary gloated, "Who's to blame for being blind? Is there a need to scream so miserably?"

Brian pretended to be concerned and asked, "Shawn, are you all right? Why are you so careless? Can you stand up? Do you need my help?"

The two of them echoed each other, but Hailey remained unmoved. She stood there and looked at me coldly.

It was as if they were looking at a clown.

I suppressed my anger, bit my lip, struggled to stand up with the help of the wall, and limped out.

With every step I took, my left leg twitched in pain and my whole body trembled.

Hailey suddenly thought of something and shouted, "Shawn, stop right there!"

Brian tried to persuade him, "Forget it, President Hailey. Maybe it's because I arranged too much work and caused his dissatisfaction. It's all my fault. Don't blame him."

Hailey ignored him and went forward to support me.

"Shawn, are you feeling unwell in your legs?"

"It's none of your business!" I replied through gritted teeth.

Without giving me a chance to explain, she lifted the leg of my pants.

Several shocking scars were exposed in the air, which stunned Brian Graham and his secretary.

Hailey's eyes turned red when she saw these familiar scars.

She remembered the desperate situation when she fell into the water.

If I hadn't risked my life to rescue her from the sea, the grass on her grave would have been more than one meter high.

"Shawn, let me take you to the hospital."

"I told you, it's none of your business!"

I pushed her away.

I used a lot of strength and determination.

Brian quickly supported Hailey and said with a frown, "Shawn, she is concerned about you. It's okay if you don't accept it, but please don't hurt her."

The secretary chimed in, "You're biting the hands that feed you!"

Looking at my staggering figure, Hailey bit her lip tightly. Just as she was about to catch up with me, Brian suddenly covered his chest and groaned.

"Ouch!"

Hailey was shocked and asked, "What's wrong, Brian?"

Brian looked painful and said with difficulty, "I don't know. Suddenly... my heart hurts so much."

The secretary reminded him in time, "President Hailey, have you forgotten? President Brian has always been in poor health. It's very likely that he is ill!"

"Quick, send him to the hospital!"

After hearing Hailey's anxious voice, I left the company alone with my injured leg, my heart as cold as ice.
