Chapter 363: TRAUMA
Of course, Hailee wouldn\'t let Aileen go to that \'special\' place alone. Like the good sister she was, she followed the car that took Aileen to the predetermined place and even accompanied her until she was settled inside.
However, it seemed that Hailee\'s good intentions were not warmly welcomed by Aileen, instead of thanking her, she cursed and raged hysterically when she found out where Hailee had taken her.
"F*ck you Hailee! F*ck you Hailee! I hope you will die!" Aileen screamed over and over and couldn\'t count the words she used to curse Hailee.
Not only that, some of the people around were forced to calm Aileen down while Pyro and Barry stood guard in front of her, just in case Aileen did other crazy things.
It was only after a sedative was injected into her system that Aileen stopped screaming and seemed a lot calmer. But she had not lost consciousness because of it and was still able to communicate.
Only then did Hailee approach her and whisper to her. "What do you think? Do you like this place?"
"F*ck you, Hailee," Aileen said weakly. "I\'m not crazy…"
They were now in a small room, even smaller than the room Aileen had rented in the slums until the other day.
And now Aileen lay on her narrow bed, white and slightly dull, with a pair of doctor and nurse ready to monitor her condition for twenty-four hours.
"Right," Hailee agreed. "You\'re not crazy now, but later you won\'t even be able to realize whether you\'re actually sane or not," Hailee whispered into Aileen\'s ear again.
Of course the mental hospital that Hailee had chosen was not an elite mental hospital that had facilities like a five-star hotel with extraordinary services.
Oh, that was too good for Aileen. Hailee didn\'t want to waste her money on such useless things.
The mental hospital that Hailee admitted Aileen in now was a hospital where even a sane person would go crazy over it.
And this was where Aileen was going to spend the rest of her life...
"How can… how can you do this?" Aileen asked, her breath becoming shallow as she felt her body begin to succumb to the effects of the sedative.
"Of course I can… you don\'t know who\'s behind me to support me?" Hailee asked, a triumphant smile etched on her lips. Oh, she really enjoyed moments like this. "Don\'t worry, I didn\'t let you go to jail, did I? You should be thanking me for doing this for you…"
"You\'re crazy..." Aileen said weakly, if she could raise her hand, she would happily slap Hailee or grab her hair.
"Me? Crazy?" Hailee widened her eyes with a scornful expression, but then she laughed softly. "Says someone who has to stay in a mental hospital."
After saying that, Hailee stood up and was about to leave, but then she seemed to have forgotten to say something to Aileen, she leisurely returned to her adopted sister\'s bedside.
"I really don\'t want to say this, but you better know it beforehand so you can prepare yourself properly." Hailee then bent down and whispered to Aileen so she could hear herself clearly. "To avoid patients running away easily and can be quickly distinguished from others, they shave off the patients\' heads. Well, maybe that way, they can take care of you more easily too…"
Hearing this, Aileen caught her breath and looked at Hailee fiercely, but not a single word came out of her lips, because she couldn\'t put a single curse together in the midst of her shock.
Aileen always liked her long hair and never even cut it short, and now Hailee was telling her they were going to shave it off?!
"Hailee…" Aileen meant to growl, but all that came out of her lips was a weak whisper.
"Okay, if you have nothing more to say, I\'ll be going." Hailee then stood up and waved her hand at Aileen. "Bye. I will visit you when I have free time."
The last thing Hailee noted about her adopted sister was the look in her eyes which implied she couldn\'t wait to kill her, but that was just a wish and Aileen could live with her hatred and envy forever in this place.
Aileen would enjoy it…

"You want me to do that?" Ian asked. He didn\'t expect that today would turn into a day he couldn\'t sleep well.
It was not just Zia who asked for his help to get rid of her crazy billionaire ex-lover this morning, but just as he was about to go back to sleep, Ian actually received a call from Ramon asking him to come see him.
What was really going on with these people? Couldn\'t they just let him sleep and get some rest before his game tonight?
"Yes, you can coordinate with Marco," said Ramon.
Now Ian was in Ramon\'s study and listening to his crazy idea.? When he didn\'t even want to be involved at all in the feuds of the rich families of City A.
"Wait a minute, I didn\'t say I agreed with your crazy idea, I didn\'t even say I wanted to get involved in this." Ian raised his hand, asking Ramon to pause and give him some time. "I don\'t want to get involved in this," Ian said finally, affirming.
"You have no choice, you were involved from the start." Ramon then leaned his back against the back of his swivel chair. "Didn\'t I save your sister? This is your return favor to me."
Ian opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he seemed to be at a loss for words when he heard Ramon\'s shameless statement.
How could someone talk about returning a favor like a loan shark collecting debts? Wasn\'t that what Ramon was doing now?
"You really are shameless, you took advantage of me," Ian said in disbelief. "I think the relationship between us has improved."
Ramon frowned. "It\'s only in your mind," he said.
Ian really didn\'t know how to talk to Ramon Tordoff. Were they both using different languages?
"Okay, I\'ll do it. You have to pay me a fortune to do this crazy thing Ramon," Ian grumbled.
"Just tell me the number," replied Ramon as if he didn\'t care and this only annoyed Ian further.
He promised to write endless Zeros. He would just drain the entire wealth of the rich man in front of him at once.
"You are really making me do this dirty work, especially to a woman." This was another reason why Ian was reluctant to do so.
"Yes, and this woman is the woman who has hurt my woman," Ramon said, deliberately emphasizing the phrase \'my woman\' in his sentence.
"You are using me because you want to appear as a gentleman because you didn\'t want to retaliate against a woman?" Ian sneered. "You really can\'t be trusted."
"This has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that she\'s a woman or not, even if she doesn\'t have a gender, as long as she hurts my wife, I\'ll still repay her in other ways." Ramon shrugged his shoulders and looked at Ian, as if the man before him was too stupid to understand this. "And I\'m not trying to be a gentleman here, I\'m just going to act like that in front of my wife."
"Alright, alright…" Ian was really tired of continuing this debate. He raised his hand, indicating that he no longer wanted to hear Ramon say \'my wife\', or \'my woman\', it was annoying.
"Report the progress to Marco." And of course Marco would tell himself, but Ramon didn\'t want to be in direct contact with Ian.
Ian realized this, so he angrily replied, "I\'ll contact Hailee to let her know how things are going."
"Oh, of course… call my wife and you\'ll lose your job," said Ramon. "You know exactly what I can do." This was a serious warning from Ramon.
"Alright, alright." And Ian could only grumble and curse as he walked out of the man\'s study. It sucked to have to deal with Ramon Tordoff. How could Hailee put up with that guy\'s attitude?
================
Since Hailee\'s business with Aileen was over and she had free time until Ramon came home, she thought of coming to his office instead of having to wait for Ramon at home alone without doing anything.
Therefore, she came to Tordoff\'s company building with cakes and soft drinks for herself to drink with Ramon.
Only, when Hailee had to take the elevator, she felt that feeling again. Her breath hitched as her heart ached at the thought of her having to be in there.
But how could she get to Ramon\'s study without taking the elevator? Moreover, Ramon\'s office was on the higher floor of this building.
She would spend a lot of time doing that.
Hailee closed her eyes and caught her breath.
It\'s fine. I will be fine…
Hailee repeated the sentence silently.
"Could you hold it please." Hailee gave the snacks she brought to Pyro, and then hugged her body when the elevator started moving.
Hailee could feel her breath hitching and she was having a hard time concentrating as the elevator doors began to close.
"Mrs. Tordoff, are you all right?" Barry asked when he saw the change in Hailee\'s face. He then looked at Pyro, who had already noticed this.
Of course, Pyro knew why Hailee was acting like that. This small and confined place made Hailee think back to what happened.
And it seemed Mr. Tordoff was not aware of this yet.
Pyro would find the right time to tell him this later…
