The Forgotten Girl Is Back For Revenge

Chapter 172

Bailey grounded under her breath, clearly sumayed, tit eventually fell deep in an are

She slept soundly through the night, without any dreams.

When she woke up, it was strendy 7 AM. It had apparenity rained the night before, and the dy outside was still

overcast, with vaindrops gently tapping against the windowsill.

Owen was still asleep beside her, his face peaceful and serene

Hailey felt surprisingly refreshed. She got up to freshen up, then walked out of the hospital room, intending to

grab sfood from a nearby café.

When she returned, she found Owen sitting on the edge of the bed, his face dark with frustration

“What's wrong?” she asked curiously, placing the donut and oatmeal she had bought on the side table.

Without a word, Owen walked over, pulled her into his arms, and asked, “Where did you go?”

“I went to buy breakfast,” Hailey replied innocently, blinking up at him. She stood on tiptoe and gave him a quick

kiss on the nose, her eyes sparkling with mischief. “Owen, don't tellyou're upset because you woke up and

didn’t see me?

Owen answered with a serious, “Mm.”

Hailey couldn't help herself-she burst out laughing. “You're so clingy.”

Owen didn’t argue, quietly following her and watching as she prepared breakfast.

Hailey pulled out a small table, placing the food she bought on it. The two of them cuddled up and enjoyed a

pleasant breakfast together.

After eating, Hailey felt even better. She stretched lazily and decided it was tto talk to Owen about getting

discharged from the hospital.

“The doctor said you need to stay for three more days,” Owen said casually, glancing at her.

When it cto her health, Owen was completely unyielding.

“Two more days? That's too much! Look at me, I'm fine now. | could just stay at your place and you can take care

of me,” Hailey pouted, trying to sweet-talk him.

She really didn’t want to stay in the hospital any longer; the smell of disinfectant made her nauseous.

“No,” Owen replied firmly, taking an orange from the table and placing it in her mouth, his expression

unreadable. “The doctor decides when you can leave.”

Hailey sighed, her energy deflating as she slumped back on the bed.

“I'll stay with you these two days,” Owen added after a moment, clearly trying to cheer her up.

Hailey shot him a look of annoyance and huffed, refusing to acknowledge him.

“How about | call someone to cand keep you company?” Owen asked, a playful tone in his voice.

“Who?” Hailey raised an eyebrow.

Owen thought for a moment, then asked, “Do you have any favorite female celebrities?”

Hailey’s eyes lit up. “I have a favorite male celebrity, is that okay?”

“No.” Owen immediately rejected.

Hailey scoffed. “Cheapskate.”

Owen glanced at her, his expression emotionless, before turning away. If you ever tellwho your favorite male

celebrity is, I'll make sure he’s blacklisted.

Hailey stared at him, speechless. “Are you serious?”

Owen raised his hand, grinning slightly as he lightly pinched her soft cheek. “You have no idea how terrifying the

possessiveness of a jealous man can be

Hailey rolled her eyes at him, muttering, “Immature.”

Owen didn’t react, but smiled to himself, his head tilted slightly.

When it cto love, he was immature, possessive, and a little childish. And if he let his true desire for

possession show, it would probably scare Hailey. So, for now, he only let a little slip through.

Loving someone made him feel like a completely different person.

He once thought of himself as composed and mature, but in front of Hailey, all of that was gone. He didn’t want

to see anyone else in her eyes, not even other women. If he could, he'd build a villa, lock her inside, and only let

him be the one to visit, the only one who could see her.

They would belong to each other-body and heart.

His thoughts deepened as he looked at Hailey, his gaze growing darker.

Hailey, sensing his intense stare, felt a chill down her spine and nervously rubbed her arm. “What are you

looking atlike that for?”

“Nothing,” Owen smiled softly, brushing a lock of her hair away from her face. “After you're discharged, why

don’t you move in with me, hm?”

Hailey curled up in the blankets, stretching with a lazy yawn. “Let's talk about it in a few days. If my dad finds

out that we're back together, he definitely won't approve.”

Owen lowered his gaze, watching her as she closed her eyes. He didn’t say anything.

Though Hailey’s body and heart were with him now, Owen knew she still harbored sreservations about their

relationship. There was a lingering knot in her heart.

He sighed softly, looking at her pale face, feeling a pang in his chest.

These past few days in the hospital had been extremely boring for Hailey.

The third day arrived quickly, and Owen was packing up her things for her discharge. Hailey, wearing a long

dress, stretched and yawned. After three days in the hospital, she was finally leaving, and her mood was soaring.

Once everything was packed, they left the room, but Hailey suddenly spotted a familiar face.

“Wait for me,” Hailey said, handing her bag to Owen and walking toward the person in front of her.

“Ms. Mason,” Hailey called out.

Mattie turned around, her smile radiant. “Miss Dalton, what a coincidence.”

Hailey lowered her gaze, noticing the flatness of Mattie’s stomach. Her expression faltered for a moment.

“There's no baby? Manie said with a dismissive smile. “I just paid a linte money to bribe a pregnant woman and

got her test

results.”

A flash of disgust missed Manie’s eyes. “Carrying his child? Id rather die?

Hailey took a deep breath. “Then what are you doing here?

Mattie said, “Aiden thought | was pregnant. | purposely leaked the information and address to Rose, who sent

someone to my to get rid of the baby. | played along. Afterward, Aiden felt guilty and sentsmoney. As

for Aiden...

Mattic paused and continued coldly. “He’s been caught up with a lot of cases recently. He doesn’t have tto

deal with me. Everything | needed to do is done, and now it’s tforto leave?

Hailey asked, “Where are you planning to go?”

“I was going to find you, but it looks like | ran into you here” Mattie pulled out a USB drive from her bag and

handed it to Hailey. “This has what you want.”

Hailey narrowed her eyes slightly.

Mattie didn’t elaborate. “I spent two years with Aiden, drugging him every night to create illusions of intimacy. |

may not have a dirty body, but my eyes are as dirty as they come. | took plenty of money from him-enough to

lastfor the rest of my life. I've always wanted to see the beautiful landscapes of my homeland. Now that

everything's taken care of, | can finally live my own life.”
