Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance
Chapter 461

No one could have predicted that Tom would suddenly turn his attention to Ellory, who was barely holding on in the hospital. It was easy for Tom to steal a doctor's white coat, and with a mask and cap, no one could tell who he was. With a tray of medicine in hand, Tom made his way to the ICU. His gloved hands were perfectly prepared. Surprisingly, there were no guards at the door. How careless of Andre! But, this only made it easier for Tom to act. Entering the ICU, he searched bed by bed.

"Bed 1, not it."

"Bed 2, not it either."

"Bed 3, still not it."

...

The further Tom searched, the more frustrated he became. Where was the patient?!

Suddenly, a young nurse walked in to change the medicine. "Who are you looking for?"

Tom, with his back to the nurse, replied, "Isn't Mr. Rodrigo, the man who was brought in unconscious a while ago, here anymore?"

"Oh him, he has been transferred a long time ago. Didn't you know?"

The reason for Mr. Rodrigo's transfer could be traced back to the trio who had attempted to remove his oxygen tube.

Because Leo wanted to see if Mr. Rodrigo was dead yet. If not, he wanted to give him a couple more punches. Unfortunately, he couldn't get in.

Andre and Chad were worried that these three young troublemakers would give them an "unpleasant surprise" one day. Having someone to guard Mr. Rodrigo all the time was bound to lapse at some point. So, Andre quietly transferred Ellory. Except for him and Chad, no one knew Ellory's exact location.

So even if the trio did come, they wouldn't find Ellory.

The nurse finished changing the medicine and cast a suspicious glance at the doctor's back. The nurse was on high alert. A doctor who didn't even know whether his patient was there or not aroused her suspicion. "Which department are you from?"

Tom turned around, pushed the nurse away, and quickly fled.

At that time, Jack upstairs saw that it was time and called the police. The police received the report and hurried to the hospital. The nurse was about to report the incident as well.

Andre was in the break room with his wife who was taking a nap. This playful girl was bored at the company and had taken a liking to a hand-cranked coffee grinder. She had played with more than half of a drawer of coffee beans, so all the staff members had been drinking the coffee she ground for the past two days.

Just as he was about to join her for a nap, his phone rang. Mia curiously watched him, blinking her eyes in a cute manner. "Honey, your phone is ringing," Mia gently reminded him.

Andre turned around, picked up the phone on the cabinet and answered, "Hello, Chad."

"Is Ellory dead yet?"

Andre glanced at his wife in his arms. "I'll call you back in three minutes."

"Mia..."

"You go ahead. I'm going to sleep," Mia said with a smile.

Andre said, "You absolutely must sleep."

Mia raised her hand in a pledge. "I really will sleep."

"If you don't do, you'll gain ten pounds."

After threatening his wife, Andre left the break room and returned to his office to call Chad back, "Why bring up Ellory out of the blue?"

"Tom has shown up!"

...

Jack, in the hospital, was once again detained by the police. "Why are you arresting me?" Jack questioned Chad. "I merely reported a crime. You should be going after the murderer, Andre."

Chad replied, "Firstly, Ellory isn't dead. You made a false police report, which is illegal. Secondly, Tom is a wanted guy. You saw him and didn't report it, instead letting him escape the law. I suspect that you were his accomplice while he was on the run. You need to cooperate with our investigation. If the situation is severe, you will face criminal charges."

"I didn't!"

Chad ignored Jack's protestations. "Once you've recovered, reflect on your actions in jail."

"Chad, you're using your position for personal revenge. You're framing me. I'm going to sue you!" Jack shouted at Chad's retreating back.

Chad had the door closed behind him and he glanced at the hospital room. "Idiot!" Jack was used without even realizing it.

Chad met with Andre at a familiar café.

"Where's Mia?"

"She's sleeping at the office. Tell me what's happening with Tom."

The two men spent the afternoon in the café discussing Tom. When Molly called to have Chad pick her up from school, Chad ended their meeting. "I'm going to pick up Molly from school. Once again, Mr. Rodrigo's life was saved thanks to their unintentional help." Andre nodded. Who would have thought that their precaution against the three kids would inadvertently help them out? They were indeed the lucky stars of the Cedillo family.

Upon returning to the office, Andre found Mia obediently asleep. He took a look and gently closed the door.

Being eight months pregnant, the once agile Mia was no longer so. Previously, she had still dared to run around while walking, but now, with her big belly, she finally behaved like a pregnant woman. When she went for check-ups, the doctors would tease her, "Can't run anymore, can you?"

Mia said, "Wait till I give birth, I'm going to run a marathon."

The doctors were all amused by Mia. "Let me know when you do. I'll come cheer for you."

As a pregnant woman, Mia started to sleep a lot. Hansen was worried that something was wrong with Mia and almost hired a private doctor for her. Later on, Mia tricked her father, causing Hansen to stop worrying about Mia's health. "I miss my daughter."

Mia appeared, "Your daughter is currently annoying Chad at the Byrne family."

Hansen changed his tune. "I don't miss her anymore."

...

September was more than halfway over, and Leo's birthday was fast approaching.

When Mia reminded Molly not to forget to prepare a birthday gift for Leo, Molly also remembered Chad, another picky Virgo!

Molly, wanting to give her brother a birthday gift, pondered for several days. What could she give that would express her love and care for her brother?

When Chad spoke to her, she was lost in thought. Angry, Chad pinched her ear, causing her to snap back to reality. "What were you saying?"

Noticing Chad's furious expression, Molly instantly knew what she wanted to give him for his birthday!

So, on Chad's birthday, he received a birthday gift he would never forget - a bottle of heart pills!

The Byrne family gathered together, but Chad was chasing after Molly, threatening, "I'm gonna get you today."

Molly, frightened, ran around the house. "Bro, it's for your own good. If one day I get you so angry that you have a heart attack, this medicine could save your life."

Chad caught up to Molly and held her in his arms.

Molly was being a stubborn little mule, squatting down on the ground, and Chad was right there with her, on one knee, holding her tight. He couldn't help but let his frustration show. His hand was falling heavily on Molly's thigh over her skirt, giving her a couple of firm swats. "If you don't make me angry, I won't have a heart attack."

Molly pouted, "How is that my problem? You get mad when I talk, and you get mad when I don't. You get upset when I laze around in bed in the morning, still upset when I don't pay attention in class. When I have a friendly chat with the new boy on your team, you still get angry. Bro, you've got more anger than a bull. Did you grow up eating 'angry sandwiches' or something?"

Molly's thigh got another firm swat. This time, it stung a bit.
