Chapter 308

Chapter 308 Karl’s Punishment Hailey had a splitting headache. Her vision was blurred. She could barely keep her eyes open. The deep and helpless voice of Joe seemed to ring in her ears. “You’re really not afraid of death.”

And then, countless headlights cast over, along with many figures. A familiar voice called out to her repeatedly, “Hailey…”

She seemed to be picked up and fall into a pair of warm arms. She felt tired at that moment. She had tried so hard to love someone. She had tried so hard to live’a good life. She had tried to protect her loved ones, but she could never get her parents back..

When she woke up and opened her eyes, she immediately smelled disinfectant.

“She woke up.” A bunch of people swarmed over. Hailey felt a little dizzy and shut her eyes. When she opened them again, Owen’s head came into view.

She looked at him and yelped, “Gee, you grow new hair?”

In the ward, Owen leaned against the window and listened to Jared’s scolding. Hailey was uncontrollably distracted by Owen’s head. He indeed had grown new hair. It was short. He used to be like this when he was in the army. It added some toughness to him. He looked like this when she first met him. Their first meeting was always unforgettable. She couldn’t help glancing at her first love.

Jared noticed her vacant look, stood akimbo in anger, and snapped, “Hailey, I’m talking to you. Are you listening?”

“Yes,” she was startled by his loud voice and quickly responded. At the sight of his sullen face, she had to coax him, “Alright, alright, I’m sorry. My approach was a bit risky, but we caught him.”

“It was more than risky, okay?” Jared pulled a long face and poked her forehead which was covered with gauze, “That was a pyrrhic victory!”

“Ow… ouch!” Hailey grunted in pain. Owen got anxious, unconsciously straightened up, and glared at Jared. “That’s enough. Hailey is injured. Go easy on her.” Kyle came up to stop the violent man. Upon learning about the incident, Kyle rushed to Poya by plane together with Nicholas. He was terrified.

“Hailey, I have to say this. Your action was ill-considered.” Still suttering from the aftershock, Kyle criticized his sister, “This was a serious matter Why did you act without consulting us? What, you’re full fledged now and no longer need us?”

He involuntarily raised his voice Hailey hung her head, pursed her lips, and uttered no sound.

“All right, enough for the scolding” Upon receiving the news, Randal asked tor leave and hurried over without even changing his costume. He wasn’t relieved until he confirmed that she was fine.

Randal, the gentlest among her brothers, came over and stroked her head “How are you feeling?

Dizzy?

Hungry?”

Hungry Hailey nodded Once the words were out of her mouth, Owen silently got up and went out. Soon, he came back with a bunch of hich boxes which were for her and the others Hailey was stunned. When did he turn over a new leat?

Except for a mild concussion and a slit on her forehead, she was fine. She had been busy and lost her appetite in the past few days. After Joe was caught, she relaxed and got her appetite back. She ate with her brothers but found that Brook was not there. “Where’s Brook?”

Jared, who was still livid, gave no response. Randal pointed outside and said, “He is being scolded by Karl.

“That’s severe.” Hailey pursed her lips, “I’m sorry for him.” “Who caused it?” Kyle looked askance at her. She smiled guiltily.

“Get prepared.” He handed her a glass of water, “You’ll be next.”

”

Having too many brothers could be troublesome. The food no longer tasted that good when she thought of how harsh Karl was. After a while, a crest-fallen Brook came back. His face was pale. His nose and eyes were red, a sign of his crying.

As soon as he came in, Jared, Randal, Kyle, and Hailey looked over in unison. Brook sniffed and handed his phone to her. “Karl wants to talk to you.”

Hailey looked at the phone and involuntarily moved back a little. She shook her head and waved at Brook. The phone in his hand seemed to be a hot potato to her. She wouldn’t take it whatsoever. Karl seemed to have anticipated it. His cold voice came out of the receiver.

He demanded, “Brook, put me on speakerphone.”

“Got it.” Brook hurriedly turned on the speaker, “It’s on.”

Jared, Randal, and Kyle put down their lunch boxes before standing up and greeting the man, “Karl.”

Karl hummed lightly and sternly called out, “Hailey.”

He called her by her name again. Too bad! Hailey instinctively sat on her heels. An awkward smile was on her face. “K… Karl.”

She was all flattering. If Karl were there with them, she would have kneeled in front of him, held his leg, and begged him for mercy.

“Go home tonight and kneel in front of your parents’ tablets for four hours. Do you have a problem with that?” Karl pronounced the punishment straight away.
