Lily was still recovering from her injuries. Her condition would definitely worsen if they touched her wound.
However, the men could not care less about her and proceeded to surround the hospital bed.
"What's going on in here?"
A deep voice sounded from the door at that crucial moment.
A man walked into the room.
It was Darryl.
Samantha stood up abruptly when she saw him "This is my son-in-law, he will pay on my behalf! Look for him for the money! You can break his legs if he doesn't have it."
Caelan had no idea who was it as Darryl was facing his back. Caelan furrowed his brows and turned.
He was stunned!
'Hall Master?'
'Why is he here?'
Caelan's subordinates were also confused. They stared at Darryl in a daze and they were unable to react for a while!
'Is the woman in the hospital bed the Hall Master's wife? It can't be!'
The men finally reacted and greeted "Greetings Hall Master..."
Darryl waved an arm to interrupt them and turned to Caelan "What's the matter? Why are you guys here?"
Well...
Caelan hesitated and threw Sophie a glance before he shook his head as cold sweat formed on his forehead "Nothing, Hall Master. We are just passing by, nothing's going on."
Caelan was not a fool. Ofcourse, he would not tell Darryl that he was there to demand payment from his mother-in-law!
Darryl furrowed his brows and asked Lily softly "Honey, what's going on?"
There was no way that Caelan and his men were there without a reason.
Lily bit her lip anxiously and lowered her head in embarrassment before she admitted "Honey, they're here to demand a payment."
She told Darryl everything.
Demand a payment?
Darryl was stunned and he threw Caelan a glance.
'Oh sh*t...'
Caelan was bewildered. 'How can I demand money from the Hall Master?! That will be like digging my own grave!'
Darryl sighed. Samantha was really something for playing mahjong with huge bets although her family broke. She lost two million bucks in one night! 'What kind of family is that?'
Darryl thought to himself before giving Caelan a reluctant gaze. "Fine, give me the bank account number. I'll pay for her."
Two million was not a huge amount for him anyway.
Although Samantha sometimes goes overboard, she was still his mother-in-law.
He was obliged to pay her debt.
"Exactly, he'll pay for me!" Samantha pointed at Darryl as if he was her straw to clutch at and said "He's my son-in-law. Take the money from him and don't bug me after this!"
"Your account number?" Darryl turned to Caelan.
Thump!
Caelan got down to his knees suddenly without hesitation and stuttered with dread "Hall Master, there's no way that I'm going to take your money. You don't need to return the money, there's no need..."
His position as the Vice Hall Master was given by Darryl himself.
He would not be where he was without him. Therefore, he would never take his money!
What?!
It was complete silence in the ward.
Sophie and the others were shocked! They fell into a daze and they could not speak!
'What is happening? Why is Caelan calling this live-in son-in-law Hall Master? Why is he afraid of him?'
Lily who was on the hospital bed stared at Darryl intensely, her mind filled with shock and emotions!
'Do I know anything about this amn at all?'
'He seems omnipotent...'
