One Night Surprise

Chapter 36 Why Doesn’t She Have the Right to Do That?

Once they arrived at the hospital, Tina dragged Courtney all the way into the wards. “Slow down, Tina. You’re about to break my arm.” Courtney helplessly allowed her daughter to drag her out of the hospital lift. She only believed her daughter’s words after she saw Jordan lying on the hospital bed.

“What happened to Jordan?” Courtney asked as she entered the room. Scott was the only one who was sitting by the bed. When he saw Courtney, his face lit up with joy and he quickly got to his feet. “Who are you?” he asked, although he already knew the answer.

She quickly introduced herself. “I’m Courtney Hunter, a hotel manager in Sunhill Hotel. My daughter attends the same kindergarten as Jordan. And you are?”

Her sentences are clear and simple while her tone is respectful and polite; just the way one should speak to an elderly. She even looks a little bit like Jordan! I really like this woman, the old man thought as he glanced at Courtney. He sneakily gave Tina a silly face before he beamed toward Courtney. “I’m Jordan’s great-grandfather.”

“You’re Mr. Duncan? The chairperson of Sunhill Enterprise?” Courtney quickly straightened her posture. “I’m sorry if I was being rude earlier,” she quickly said.

“No worries. Take a seat. Jordan has mentioned you in the past; he really likes you a lot. I remember this because you saved Jordan’s life previously,” Scott uttered as he gestured for Courtney to sit down. She quickly heaved a sigh of relief when she realized that Scott wasn’t as haughty and mean as the rumors had made him to be. She then sat down on a chair beside him before she glanced toward Jordan worriedly. “How did Jordan get so badly injured?”

“I don’t know the details, but he hurt himself in Alexander’s home. I heard that he rolled off the stairs from the 2nd floor down to the 1st. He just got out of surgery, and the doctors said that he fractured his right forearm and dislocated his left. He has a few cuts and bruises too. Ah, this young boy has suffered so many illnesses and injuries as he didn’t have a mother to care for him since he was a baby.”

with Jordan, he was the same age as Tina, and she had a missing son who was the same as him. I always think of my missing son whenever I look at Jordan. I wonder if he has a mother by his side. If he doesn’t, perhaps he’s just like Jordan now. “Fortunately, kids heal really quickly. He should drink some snakehead fish soup to replenish the calcium in his body since he fractured his bone,” she

Alexander’s pressing questions. She stood up angrily once she recalled how Scott had told her about Jordan falling off the stairs. “Is this the right time for you to be asking about how I heard of Jordan’s accident? Your son’s lying on the hospital bed right now; how could you

but I was shocked to hear that he had to be hospitalized because of how bad his injuries were. Aren’t you worried after hearing that he rolled down the stairs? If he had hit his head, you could have lost your son. Do you know that?” Courtney lost all control of her temper, perhaps because she had been suppressing her emotions and experiencing a great deal of stress at work recently. She also felt furious whenever she thought about how Jordan’s past two accidents were always because there weren’t any adults watching over him. “Do you know why Jordan doesn’t speak up and call you his dad? It’s because you simply don’t care about him enough. Ask yourself—do you think you’re a dependable father? Do you make your
