Billionaire's Reborn Baby
Chapter 300 Check-up

Her hair was in a mess probably because she had no time to tidy it up. There was a deep red nail mark on her face and it looked a little scary from afar.

Eliot ordered Harold to lock Daniel and his wife up before coming here. He didn't expect that Matthew would ask Harold to bring them over again. But Eliot didn't know why Matthew only asked Lily to come, not Daniel.

Matthew sat on his chair and asked, "What is the list in your hand?"

Before Lily came out, she quarreled with Daniel and was scolded by him for a long time. Only then did Lily know that what she had done almost cut off Daniel's path of retreat. Daniel would have a hard time in the future and Lily herself would also suffer from that.

At this moment, Daniel was locked up, but Lily didn't dare to call the police. She was afraid that Daniel would lose his job if the news was released.

The only way out was Matthew, who seemed to be powerful enough to change the situation. Lily thought for a moment before saying, "That was a misunderstanding."

Lily thought to herself, 'Only by settling it properly can Daniel come out safe and sound.'

Lily decided not to get divorced because it did no good to her. She had no job and no income. The child may be awarded to Daniel. Moreover, Daniel didn't mention it, so she wouldn't take the initiative to put it forward. What's more, she tried to save the marriage.

Lily knew that her husband had an improper relationship with Beverly. But the Brooks is prestigious, so definitely they didn't want to be influenced by this matter. Therefore, Lily explained to Matthew that the relationship between Daniel and Beverly was merely a misunderstanding.

"It turns out that I have misunderstood Mrs. Britt. So I want to apologize to her, and that's all. Now, I want to go home." After Lily finished her words, she looked at Matthew sincerely, hoping that he would agree to let them go.

Matthew looked at her gloomily, "I want to hear the truth. If you tell a lie, I won't let you go and I will call the police to investigate."

A shiver ran down Lily' spine, but she insisted, "It's a misunderstanding."

Mr. Matthew's phone suddenly rang. It was the policeman. "Mr. Matthew, we just found out that Beverly secretly threw something into the garbage can. It's a medicine. The Laboratory Department has just checked it." Then the policeman paused.

Matthew immediately looked at Maury on the ward bed and asked in a deep voice, "What is it?"

"It's a medicine that lowers one's immunity. One will feel tired and sleepy after taking it. Occasionally, it will have such symptoms as cold and fever. If one is excited, he is much likely to die of a sudden cerebral hemorrhage, or suffer from a stroke or paralysis."

Mr. Matthew took a deep breath and then asked, "Did she confess?"

"Yes. She said that the medicine was from a man named Daniel. So we have issued an arrest warrant."

Although Mr. Matthew's phone was not hands-free, people present can hear the policeman clearly because it was silent in the room. On hearing that, Lily turned pale.

Hearing these words, Eliot stood there in shock. Seeing his pale face, Elsie came to realize how serious it is, though she didn't hear the policeman's words. Then fear and uneasiness began to arise in her heart.

In the room, Emily lowered her head silently, as if she was looking at her feet. Her long eyelashes fluttered, casting a vivid shadow on the wall. Her index finger stopped, as if she had just finished watching a play and at this moment she was enjoying the play silently.

Lily immediately refuted, "Impossible!" Nervous and anxious, she turned pale and uttered her words incoherently, "I.... It can't be Daniel! Beverly lied! She lied! He didn't do it! Daniel won't hurt anyone! Beverly is a liar! Don't believe her!"

Matthew hung up the phone and said, "The police will give me an answer." Matthew was confused and he looked at Eliot and Elsie who were standing beside the ward bed. Then, he turned to Lily and said, "It seems that we have nothing to talk about. See you at the police station."

Lily was almost scared to death, so she screamed, "I promise to tell the truth! I promise! I believe Daniel. He must have been framed."

Eliot clenched his fists, and the veins on the back of his hand tensed up. Taking a step forward, he said nothing.

Standing by Eliot in fear, Elsie could not even breathe in the atmosphere of great tension.

It seemed that the following minutes passed slowly. Eliot could saw the movement of Lily' lips, but couldn't figure out what she had said. At this moment, Matthew's gaze turned to Elsie. Eliot knew that Matthew would immediately shift the gaze to him. And this gaze meant that Matthew suspected Elsie and Eliot, so he wanted to collect more clues from their reaction.

Eliot managed to control his grief and indignation. Maury laid on the ward bed with white sheet, and his face was indifferent and calm. Eliot took a few steps forward and reached out to hold Maury's hand. Here was Matthew's decision, or order.

"Let's have a check-up for the three children."

After heaving a sigh, Eliot closed his eyes and uttered a few words calmly, "Grandpa, there's no need to do that."

Matthew raised his head to look at Eliot. Elsie also inferred from Lily' words that she might not be Maury's child. Trembling out of fear, Elsie looked at Eliot uneasily to seek his support, only to replace that Eliot seemed to be distressed.

Eliot withdrew his hand and looked at Matthew quietly. Then he admitted, "I'm not his child."

On hearing these words, everyone in the room froze.

Elsie widened her eyes and looked at Eliot in surprise. Then she pulled Eliot's sleeve and asked uneasily, "Eliot, what are you talking about?"

Emily fluttered her eyelashes and raised her head to look at Eliot with suspicion, only to see him turn away. But Emily didn't know who he was avoiding. He added, "Elsie is Maury's child. But I'm not."

Matthew leaned on his walking stick, without saying a word.

Elsie couldn't believe it. She grabbed Eliot's sleeve and kept crying, "What are you talking about, Eliot? Why did you say that? What's wrong with you?" Matthew suddenly asked, "When did you know that?"

Just as Eliot was about to reply, Matthew waved his hand and said with disappointment, "Forget it, it's not important."

In the ward, there was no other sound but Elsie's cry. Lily had left. Harold sent her back to the hotel. Even if Lily begged Matthew to release Daniel, Daniel would still be taken away by the police, because the police had issued an arrest warrant.

The lawyer finally arrived. His professional intuition made him keenly aware that there was something wrong. Therefore, he only greeted Matthew with a nod. Then he waited quietly at the side without saying anything. He didn't even ask anyone about Maury when seeing him lying on the bed.

Matthew insisted, "Take the three for a checkup." His assistant nodded and then made a gesture to Eliot and Elsie before walking out of the ward.00000☐☐☐☐☐☐
