Chapter 107: Chapter 107 Hold Them Down! Hold Them Down No Matter What!

As soon as the call connected, Emily Sterling’s hysterical roar came through.

"..."

Chloe Simpson froze, realizing that with her mom acting like this, there could only be one conclusion.

She knew about her AIDS diagnosis.

"Mom, do you know about my illness?" Chloe cautiously asked.

"What do you think? How could you, my daughter, not tell me about such a huge thing? Where are you? Where are you now?"

"Telling me you’re on a business trip, all lies, right? And that so-called Young Master of the Capital Circle, what exactly is going on between you and Young Master Johnson?"

"You really are something now, hiding everything from me. Even being sick and about to die, you’re hiding it from me. Are you still my daughter? Ah!"

Emily Sterling was furious, still yelling on the other end of the line.

But deep down, she felt more heartbroken.

Especially knowing that Chloe contracted HIV from working in the hospital, she felt very guilty.

If it wasn’t for her working in the hospital, taking Chloe there since childhood,

Chloe wouldn’t have been influenced, later becoming a nurse like her.

"Mom, no, I’m not, listen to me..."

For some reason, maybe it was Emily’s yelling or something else, but Chloe, who hadn’t been emotional for days, suddenly choked up.

"Crying now? What were you doing before? Don’t you know to tell me? I know you didn’t go on a business trip. Where are you hiding alone now?"

"And where’s Lucas Hughes? With such a big issue, where is he? Is he still working at the hospital? I’m going to find him!"

As Emily spoke, she was about to hang up and look for Lucas. Chloe hurriedly stopped her.

"Mom, don’t go looking for Lucas. None of this is his fault. You... Come to the research base behind Ansun Hospital. I’m here now."

This matter had nothing to do with Lucas, and she had already mentioned divorce to Lucas. She didn’t want to involve him anymore.

"Alright." Emily responded and hung up.

Holding the phone, Chloe immediately got up, realizing just then that Alexander Johnson was in the bathroom.

Knowing Emily would be arriving soon made her anxious, so she got up and went to the bathroom door to knock.

"Alexander Johnson, could you let me out for a moment? My mom is here. Even if it’s just downstairs, not outside, I want to see my mom."

But after speaking, she stood at the door for a long time without hearing Alexander’s voice.

She knocked on the door several more times, but there was still no response from inside the bathroom.

With no other option, Chloe had to leave the room and run downstairs.

In fact, Alexander had already left the room.

Early at five in the morning, Alexander received a message from Jack Woods.

Waking up to the sound of his phone, Alexander immediately checked it.

At this time, unless it was urgent, no one would message him.

After checking his phone, as expected, it was a WeChat message from Jack Woods.

[Young Master, it seems the lady has discovered we’re investigating the archives. Today I noticed someone following our arranged person in the hospital.]

After reading the message, Alexander pondered for a long time, recalling Jack Woods mentioning Gabriella Dyer taking action with the medical team, but they hadn’t figured out her intention.

Anything medically related, especially in a hospital, is extremely risky.

He couldn’t remain passive any longer.

After careful consideration, Alexander found one solution: he had to go!

[You guys shouldn’t act carelessly for now. I’ll go. Although the Ansun Hospital archives were burned, there must be electronic backups. I’ll check directly.]

Jack Woods panicked at once: [What? Young Master, you can’t go. It’s too dangerous. We’ve already alerted them, and the lady surely has stringent measures in place.]

Alexander insisted: [If I don’t go, do you have a better plan? The HIV test results we forged will be discovered by Gabriella soon.]

[We don’t have much time left. We must acquire Ansun Hospital’s archive data as soon as possible. Jack, don’t forget, all our efforts and investments in the hospital have been for this archive.]

[If we secure this archive, it could be our leverage against Gabriella Dyer and help uncover what happened to mother back then. Right now, nothing is more important than obtaining this archive.]

[Since Gabriella has discovered you, she will certainly act soon. We must secure the electronic archive backup before her next step.]

Jack indeed had no better plan, and the situation was urgent: [Alright, Young Master, you go, but be careful. Contact me immediately if anything happens, and I’ll act to cover for you.]

[Okay,] replied Alexander, and after finalizing everything with Jack, he left the room to take action.

Chloe always thought Alexander was in the bathroom, unaware he had left the room long ago.

Now, hours had passed, and Alexander had already reached the archives and found the computer with the electronic backup.

He was copying the files, and once completed, their plan would succeed!

But Chloe was too anxious to wait and rushed out to meet Emily.

Upon exiting, she was stopped by Gabriella Dyer’s men.

"Miss Simpson, the lady ordered that you can’t leave without her permission!"

"I’m not leaving. My mom came to see me. All I need is to go downstairs. Just to the door; I’m not going out. You can accompany me if you don’t believe me," Chloe quickly explained.

"That’s not allowed either, Miss Simpson. Please understand we can’t disobey the lady’s orders. Unless you call the lady and we hear her consent."

Gabriella’s men wouldn’t let Chloe leave under any circumstances.

Thinking of how concerned Emily sounded on the phone, Chloe felt like an ant on a hot pot, anxiously pacing around.

However, no matter how anxious she was, she was powerless. She had no martial arts skills, couldn’t break through, and could only return to find Alexander.

Back in the room, seeing the bathroom door still locked, she approached to knock again.

"Alexander, why haven’t you come out yet? My mom is here; I need to go down to see her. I’ve been hiding my diagnosis results from her. She doesn’t know I have AIDS."

"But now that she’s at the hospital, she happened to find out about my illness and is very concerned. I have to go see her. Did you hear me?"

"My mom isn’t in good health already, she has heart issues. I can’t let her get any stimulation. Could you please talk to your mom’s people?"

"I’m not going out, just want to exchange a few words with my mom at the door. Alexander, I’m begging you. I know I haven’t done well lately, I’ve upset you."

"But if you agree this time, I’ll do whatever you want in the future; I’ll be obedient. Okay?"

Chloe kept knocking and pleading at the door, but there was no response from the bathroom inside.

She paced back and forth repeatedly, ultimately getting anxious and banging loudly on the door, but it remained quiet inside.

Meanwhile, the sound of her knocking drew Gabriella’s men: "Miss Simpson, what are you doing?"

"I’m knocking; your Young Master is inside the bathroom. You won’t let me out, say I should call your lady. I don’t have her number, so I have to find him,"

Chloe said, her face reddened with anxiety.

At this moment, Alexander’s electronic archive data was 98% copied, just 2% short of completion.

Fortunately, Jack Woods had already placed people inside Gabriella’s group.

He was fully aware of what was happening with Chloe.

Jack immediately messaged Alexander, informing him of the situation at the ward.

[I’m coming back right away, stall! No matter what, stall them! Even if it exposes our people, stall them!]
