BXBX NOVEL Chapter 341 - Javier's Residence
The maid lowered her head, looking a little hesitant to speak.
"Tell me or die?" said Devan, threatening again. Claire who was nearby could only take a deep breath, she didn\'t dare to make a sound at all.
At first, she felt sorry for the maids who were treated rudely. However, when she thought of her son, that feeling instantly disappeared.
"Are you deaf?" Devan snapped again when he saw the maid in front of him just looking down and playing with her visible fingers.
"I-I don\'t know, sir. I don\'t know the address of the hospital where Mr. Javier is being treated," said the maid, stammering a little. Cold sweat began to pour down her forehead and body. She looked very scared.
"Then, call them. Tell them that I\'m waiting here. If they don\'t come with my son within an hour, I will destroy this house and all the assets of the Javier family," Devan said firmly.
"O-okay, sir," said the maid immediately then stood up from her position and immediately complied with Devan\'s request.
In another place, Mr. Javier and Edrick are seen still sleeping in the same room.
It is now five o\'clock in the morning. Edrick was sleeping on the sofa in the room, the man had only fallen asleep a few minutes ago. Since yesterday, he was feeling very uneasy, he kept thinking about Dave and his father\'s condition, making it difficult for him to sleep.
Drrtt… Drrtt… Drrtt…
The vibrating sound of the cell phone on the table didn\'t wake Edrick at all. Maybe because the man was so exhausted.
This happened over and over again, for nearly twenty minutes.
"Edrick…" Mr. Javier called out his son\'s name. His voice sounded a little hoarse and small. The man was awakened by the sound of Edrick\'s cell phone vibrating.
"Edrick, did you sleep?"
"Edrick, your phone is vibrating, it looks like someone is calling you, maybe it\'s something important," he said again, he then tried to get up and tried to sit up straight.
Mr. Javier continued to call out his son\'s name, but there was no movement from Edrick, causing him to take a deep breath.
For five minutes, Edrick\'s cell phone vibrated non-stop. Making Javier force himself to get off the gurney and approach his son. He wanted to answer the call.
With slow steps, he walked. Now and then he called his son\'s name but his efforts were in vain.
Looking at the name on the phone screen, it was a call from home.
\'Does that person not know the time? It\'s only five in the morning, did something happen?\' thought Mr. Javier.
He then grabbed the flat-shaped object and answered the incoming call for the umpteenth time.
"Hello," Javier said, answering the phone.
"Hello, sir. I\'m sorry for calling you at a time like this," said a woman on the other end of the phone.
"Edrick is sleeping. Tell me what happened?"
"Mr. Javier?"
"Yeah, it\'s me. Why? What\'s wrong? Why do you sound so nervous? Tell me, Edrick is still sleeping," said Mr. Javier.
"Someone is looking for you, sir. He asked me to call you. He also ordered that you take his son home. H-he\'s waiting for you here, sir," she stammered.
Javier was surprised to hear that, "Huh? Who is he? His son? What are you saying? I\'m in the hospital, don\'t talk nonsense," Javier replied. But only for a split second, he suddenly remembered about the grandson of the Smith Family.
Did the Maid mean that boy?
"That\'s right, Sir. I don\'t know who he is, I\'m sorry. A-also, he said that..." The maid\'s words trailed off.
"He said what? Say it clearly," said Mr. Javier in a loud voice. He was starting to panic.
Edrick squirmed softly on the sofa. He faintly heard someone\'s voice. With the drowsiness still gripping him, he slowly opened his eyes.
"Daddy? What are you doing here? Why are you awake?" said Edrick, the man immediately rose from his position, sat up straight on the sofa.
Javier only glanced at him, not intending to respond to his son\'s words.
"He said that he would wait within an hour, sir. If you don\'t bring his son here, he threatens to burn this house down, sir. He also said he would destroy all your family assets," said the maid in one breath.
"What?!" Mr. Javier was surprised. His hands trembled, his body suddenly felt stiff, weak, and helpless.
"What\'s wrong, Dad? Why are you like that?" asked Edrick, the man immediately stood up.
"Wh-Where is Dave now? Where\'s the boy, Edrick?" asked Mr. Javier, his hands shaking violently.
"Give me the cell phone, Dad," said Edrick, ignoring his father\'s question.
At the same time, the cell phone in the middle-aged man\'s hand fell to the floor.
Mr. Javier clutched his chest tightly, an excruciating pain filling his chest, he was panting for breath.
"Dad, what happened? What happened to you?" Edrick Panic. immediately took his father back to the gurney and pressed the emergency call button.
After that he ran towards the door and out of the room, looking for a nurse or doctor.
He didn\'t care about his cell phone lying on the floor.
Just a few seconds later, several doctors and nurses arrived.
Mr. Javier fainted, a cold sweat covered the middle-aged man\'s body, Edrick felt more and more worried.
"Hold on, Daddy," Edrick muttered.
"Sir, please stay away first. Let us handle it," said the doctor as he loosened all the clothes worn by Mr. Javier.
Edrick took a few steps back, and only watched the doctor put on the breathing apparatus in his father\'s face, which his father had removed earlier, then they did CPR and others.
Trying as much as possible so that Mr. Javier\'s breathing condition returns to normal.
Drrtt... Drrtt... Drrtt...
The phone on the floor vibrated again. Making Edrick reflexively turn around and pick up the flat-shaped object.
Seeing who was calling him, he immediately rejected the call.
He had no idea. For what business the maid in the house contacted him at a time like this. Especially when it\'s early in the morning.
If he could, he might have fired the maid by now.
Feelings of annoyance, anger and worry-filled him.
