Mr. Nelson Winning His Ex-wife's Heart
Chapter 113

Chapter 113

In the presence of Hilton and several other patients, Chelsea transferred twenty thousand dollars toHilton.

A greedy smile played on Hilton's face as she did this. Noticing this, repulsion rose in her heart. Shebegan to choke with tears and uttered, "Dad, I only have the money for meals now. I did my best butthis is all I could do."

Having said that, Chelsea put on a good show of wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes. Therewas something about her that aroused pity in other people's hearts.

When Hilton was about to say something, a family member of one of the patients said, "Look, yourdaughter is doing her best for you."

Another man chimed in and said, "Hilton, didn't you say that you have a son? Why hasn't he showedup?"

All the patients echoed his opinion. "You can't let your daughter pay all the money."

Hilton had to swallow what he wanted to say.

He had been on the verge of asking Chelsea to buy him some fresh pair of clothes and good food.

She had disappeared for more than a year. He couldn't let her be after getting only twenty thousanddollars!

He thought he had to come up with a plan to blackmail Chelsea.

But he had to think of another day to do that. After all, people were around today. He consoled himselfsaying now that he had found her, he would be presented with plenty of opportunities to ask her formoney.

In the end, he finally said, "Okay, I know you are busy. You can go back now. I am fine and don't needanyone to take care of me."

Chelsea pretended to be grateful. She nodded her head and said, "You must take good care ofyourself. Call me if you need anything."

Chelsea put on a facade of a good daughter. However, as soon as she was out of their sight, she tookout her phone and blocked Hilton's number.

She knew Hilton was probably thinking of ways to milk money out of her. But little did he know shewould no longer be at his mercy!

Hilton had no idea that this brief conversation would be the last one he would have with her. When theywould meet again in the future, she would act as if he was a mere stranger.

Once Chelsea left, the first thing Chris did was inform Edmund about her background.

Edmund was quite surprised by the details. "Do you mean to say that Hilton and his wife are not herbiological parents?"

Chris replied, "Yes. Chelsea wouldn't lie about this kind of thing. I get the feeling that she feels trapped.She intends to use this opportunity to completely sever the relationship with Hilton and his son."

Edmund pressed his lips, deep in thought.

He thought this explanation made sense. From what he knew, Hilton was the sort of man who wouldkeep Chelsea in his clutches since they had found her.

Moreover, with her current economic ability, how could she afford to satiate the greed of Hilton and hisson?

He had planned to talk to her and ask her if she needed his help to keep the father and son at bay.

He could think of a million ways to stop them from harassing her. However, it seemed like she didn'tneed his help.

Edmund thanked Chris and was about to hang up.

Before he could do so, Chris added, "By the way, she said she would treat me to dinner to express hergratitude."

Listening to this, Edmund was momentarily rendered speechless.

After all, he had also helped her a few times since she came back. Why did she bestow this specialtreatment only on Chris?

Chris couldn't help but sigh. "Speaking of treats, I really miss the food that Chelsea used to cook forme. But I don't think it's appropriate to tell her, so I will just wait till she offers."

Edmund sneered with contempt. "Since you know it's not appropriate, you better not mention it to her."

After saying that, Edmund hung up the phone, writhing with anger. Chris burst into laughter, satisfied tohave ruffled his feathers.

On the other side, Chelsea left the hospital soon after the interaction with Hilton. Hilton asked Garry togo through the discharge formalities for him.

When Garry was taken to the police station last time, the police had given him a warning but let him go.

Garry arrived at the hospital, hungry for details. "How much did she give?" he asked eagerly.
