501 Chapter 501: Don’t Believe Him (1/2)
”My name is Ben!” Ben argued.
Kylie pulled Ben over to let him sit by her side. ”Ben, you're still a kid, and you don't understand what adults are doing.”
Ben thought for a while, then said, looking at her, ”I do. My father isn't a bad person. Mother Kylie isn't either...” He pressed his lips and added, ”Neither is Mother Kylie's husband.”
Fannie approached Kylie. ”Since Ben doesn't want to go back, it's not a bad thing that he stays with us.”
”But...” Kylie hesitated.
”Probably Tory also wants his son to stay with you,” Nate said. ”Ben's much safer with you than by Stephen's side.”
”I agree with you this time.” Fannie touched Nate's face.
Nate rubbed his face against Fannie's palm like a kitten.
”Do you need me to ask for leave for you as well?” Kylie asked Ben.
”Um, I can call Uncle Wyatt myself so that they won't know I'm with you,” Ben said.
”Good boy! You're a potential good agent.” Nate laughed.
After breakfast, Kylie went upstairs to check Ethan's condition first. The medicine came into effect, and he was still in a deep sleep.
”I'll do my best to come home before he wakes up,” Kylie said. ”Please take good care of him.”
”Just go. I know what to do,” Nate said.
The housekeeper drove Kylie to the set, and Kate walked out at this moment. ”Kylie!”
”Hi, Ms. Green.” Kylie greeted her with a smile.
”Ben just asked for leave, and Bill told us to have a break for a couple of days,” Kate said.
Kylie pretended to be surprised, but she knew there must be another reason. ”Why? Even though Ben doesn't come, we can shoot other scenes.”
”I know.” Kate looked around, then pulled Kylie aside. ”The police came yesterday and caught Harvey for no reason!”
”Really?” Kylie said and stuck out three fingers. ”Is it because of those girls in his room?”
”Well, there indeed were several girls in his room, but I don't think the police are in charge of a person's personal affairs,” Kate said.
”Who knows.” Kylie shrugged. ”I'm swamped these days. It's not bad news. I don't need to ask for leave again.”
”Well, see you then when the shooting begins, Kylie.” Kate went into her nanny van.
Ethan was still in his sleep when Kylie was back in the Finch family's house.
”Wow, you're so quick.” Fannie was surprised.
”I think Harvey might be another victim of a magical pill. He's caught by the police, and Bill isn't in the mood of shooting,” Kylie said.
She disinfected her hands with alcohol, then walked to the sofa and touched Ethan's forehead. ”Why does he have a fever again?”
”Um, there is something we must tell you.”
”Just say it.” Kylie nodded. She understood they wanted to keep it a secret from Ethan.
”Ethan's injuries are serious,” Fannie said.
”How serious are they?” Kylie had a hunch.
”His life is in danger,” Fannie said.
