Chapter 290
After I agreed, it seemed that Shelton just wanted to say something over the phone, but I heard another cell phone rang over there.
"Wait a minute, I'll take a call." Shelton didn't hang up the phone. I heard him picked up another phone and said, "I'll be there right away."
After that, he said to me over the phone, "Sorry, the hospital picked up an emergency patient. I need to go there for a while."
"Okay, go ahead."
I responded.
Hanging up the phone, I soon heard the sound of Shelton opening the door outside.
I also opened the door. Shelton had already finished dressing and was waiting for the elevator.
When he saw me, he smiled and came over to hug me. "Wait for me to come back, remember the birthday present you promised me."
"Yes." I nodded and hugged him. "I'll wait for you to come back."
Although Shelton said that the birthday gift would be to accompany him one day, I still felt it would be no good if I had nothing to give him.
The next morning, Shelton hadn't come back. I went shopping on my own after taking Glenn to the kindergarten.
I spent a whole morning in the mall, and the shop assistants at every counter had recommended countless gifts to me, but none of them were to my liking.
Shelton was not a businessman, so the ties and cuffs were not suitable for him. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
But apart from that, I didn't know what else I should give him.
When I was going to find a place to have lunch, my personal phone rang.
And the name on it was Nancy!
I picked it up right away.
She asked me out for lunch. We chose a western restaurant that was not far from us.
She had been there when I arrived.
This day, Nancy wore a well-cut cape, a half-length skirt and high heels.
Her hair was not as black and straight as it had been five years ago. It was dyed with chestnut color and permed curly.
Nancy looked at me and said, "I really didn't expect that the famous designer, Janetta, turn out to be you."
"How can I be called famous?" I was a little embarrassed. "All my fame is borrowed from my teacher. It's nothing to do with me if my teacher is not him."
In the past few years, Ryan was retired from the field and no longer undertook any work. The design was all done by me, and he just gave a little advice.
However, all my connections and resources were given by him.
I felt I had always been living under his shade.
Nancy smiled and said, "It's your luck to have a good teacher."
"Where have you been for the past few years? Since I came back from the resort, you had resigned. I have been trying to contact you." I asked Nancy.
After that, Nancy and I told each other about what had happened in the past few years.
Nancy studied abroad after resignation and met her husband there. It didn't take long for her to get married and have a child.
Her husband transferred to inland due to work, so she came back with him.
After returning, she had only taken on one job so far.
And this was the design of Chef Tang's.
I remembered Boris promised to give me the information of the designer of Chef Tang's on the day I went there, but he hadn't sent it to me.
However, I met Nancy first.
Nancy told me, in order to develop in City Y, she planned to participate in the design competition at the end of the year, and she also gave me the information.
At the sight of this design competition, I was also very tempted.
The two of us chatted for a while and decided to join together.
Nancy and I seemed to have endless topics to talk about.
By the time we had came to our sense, it was already four o'clock.
She and I both needed to pick up the children, and I hadn't bought a gift for Shelton yet.
Nancy heard that I was going to buy a gift for Shelton, then she suggested, "I think you can take stationery into account. That must be useful for doctors."
Her words reminded me.
Nancy took me to an old-school stationery store, where every piece of stationery could be engraved with words or name.
After looking around, I picked a dark blue fountain pen.
I also asked the boss to carve words on and packed it up.
After that, I said goodbye to Nancy and went to pick up Glenn.
The next day would be Shelton's birthday.
I was afraid that Glenn would break the birthday gift for Shelton, so I put it at a high place.¹'
In the evening, I called Shelton when I started cooking.
His phone was turned off.
Came to think of it, I haven't seen him for almost 24 hours.
After I came to City Y, Shelton would contact me and have meal with me no matter how busy he was.
Although it was not a long time, he was really rare to be like this!
I couldn't help feeling uneasy.
I cooked and had meal with Glenn. During this period, I called Shelton one time after another.
However, each time, the result was the same.
It was a cold system voice on the other side of the phone, "The number you dialed has been turned off..."
I had a stronger and stronger feeling that something might had happened to Shelton!
But since Glenn was at home, I couldn't leave him at home on his own, and I should not take him to the hospital at late night.
So I had to keep calm until Glenn fell asleep.
Before that, I told him, "Glenn, Mom is going to get out and find Shelton. I'll be back soon, so you keep staying at home. Okay?"
"OK."
Glenn nodded obediently.
When I was sure that he was asleep, I quickly put on my clothes and went out.
I went by a taxi. When arrived at the entrance of Glorious Light Hospital, I found that police cars were fully parked outside the hospital!
I stood outside of the courtyard, and saw that the entrance of the hospital was locked!
When this scene came into my sight, countless guesses were popping up in my mind.
Did a murder case happen there?
I rushed to the door and wanted to go in, but a policeman stopped me directly. "I'm sorry, unauthorized people can't go in."
"What happened? I am the fiancee of the director of this hospital!"
This was the first time I told others this identity.
Hearing this, the police looked at me, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "No, even family members can't enter."
"Can you tell me what happened in the hospital?"
"It doesn't matter if I can't go in. I want to know what happened and whether Shelton is okay!"
At this time, I had already prepared for the worst in my heart.
Shelton's cell phone had been turned off for such a long time. What could be happen?
The police looked at me, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Wait a minute, I'm going to report it."
Then, he took out his mobile phone and made a call.
After talking over the phone, the police asked me, "Do you have anything to prove your identity?"
"I..."
The words of the police made me stunned.
How can I prove that I am Shelton's fiancee?
The policeman found that I couldn't prove it, so he said, "I'm sorry, you can't prove your relationship with the director, so I can't tell you anything."
"How can I prove I am his girlfriend?" I was frantic.
"I'm sorry. This is the rule. Don't make things difficult for me." After said that, the policeman turned around and was about to leave.
When I saw him turned his back to me, without any hesitation, I got over the cordon and rushed straight to the hospital!
