Come back to Me, My Ex-Wife

When Pierson was left, Golden lit up a cigarette and made a few deep puffs.

The smoke of tar went deep down to his throat and soothed his flutter. Gradually, he recovered his state of being hard-boiled.

If Margery was the lady who called him, why didn't she contact him in these five years?

If she wasn't Margery, why would she know his old number?

The cigarette end was glowing red, and his face became indistinct behind the grey smoke.

Pierson was pretty efficient on this. Soon, he placed the files about Margery's location and profile on his desk and made an elaborate report, "Mr. Barrett, we contacted the personnel on telecommunication and transportation department through relationship network and acquired the information about the woman. She is Margery Byrne, a doctor, and principal of Bok Hospital. Now she is at the kindergarten where Layne is studying. To be precise, she is looking for her son Ethan along the hill."

It was Margery, the doctor of Bok Hospital, again!

He gave a sign to let him continue.

Pierson glanced at the end of the report and became constrained, "Besides, I also contacted the principal of the kindergarten. He said that Ethan incited all the classmates to beat Layne. He had informed Ms. Martin, and then she brought Layne to the hospital very soon. So, the six calls from Ms. Martin may be related to this."

Hearing this, Golden frowned, "He got beaten? How is he?"

"Well… I haven't call Ms. Martin back yet."

Golden gave him the order and walked out of the office straightly.

Pierson followed with two phones in his hand.
