《Knots of Kinship》全部章節：第 61 章 - 第 70 章

Rory spent the night thinking of what he would do or, better yet, how he would leave. Like Harvey said, he doesn’t even know how to file his taxes. How was he going to run away, and could he even run away?He didn’t know, but he wasn’t going to sit around and find out. He had cried his heart out in the bathroom, and now he had a resolve. One that wouldn’t be broke by just anyone.He stared at the ceiling. Life was boring. He could pick up his phone, but he couldn’t answer it one way or the other.Letting out a sigh, he turned to his side and grabbed his phone. But just as he grabbed his phone, Rory looked like a deer in headlights. He looked like he was caught stealing—stealing his own phone.“Hi.” Carol spoke out, holding a tray of his ointment and injections.Rory cleared his throat, leaving his phone on the table. Honestly, it was embarrassing for him to hide his phone. But she was Harvey’s friend; who knows if she was as crazy as he was? But he’d rather not risk it.He had a crazy

Toby turned the phone and read the dialer. “It is an unknown number.”“Unknown number?” She repeated. Coming back to the living room with their snacks on a tray, she furrowed her brows, taking the phone from him. But she was too late, and the line ended.They stared at other, both thinking the same thing“It could be Rory.” She stated. Blinking at her phone, Toby nodded in agreement.“I suspect so. After all, it would be a coincidence after sending him money he calls.”They stared at the unknown number. “Perhaps I should call back? It could be an emergency or something.”Toby folded his lips into his mouth as he stared at the number.“No, not yet. It is strange though.’“How so?” he asked, not liking Toby’s hesitation.“Think about it. He has your number, and you have his saved. So why would it show up as unknown ID?”“I get you, but what if he is stranded and he lost his phone like you said?”“And you think the first number he would call is the girl’s number he just got a few days ag

The office room was dead silent. Harvey… did he just say Harvey? Nicholas knew Harvey hated Rory because he came into their lives, but he never thought he would physically harm Rory.He didn’t believe it.“What do you mean?!!! Are you saying my son harmed Rory?” He cursed; Dallas and Christy cowered at the terror of his voice. Julian looked focused and attentive, not wanting to miss a single detail of the conversation. While Toby merely continued. He had a feeling Nicholas would weigh his choices and not believe his words.“Yes. Rory was beyond reluctant to go home. Also, think about it: why do you think I dropped him off? According to Harvey, you told him to drop him home, did you not, or was that a lie from his end?”Nicholas shook his head. “No, I did tell them to go home together. It was getting late; I didn’t want Rory using an Uber late at night. That was why I had Harvey cancel his plans and take Rory home.”Toby wanted to feel relief that at the very least wasn’t a lie. He sho

Dr. Patel massaged his body, and Rory stared at the ceiling. “It looks like you are better now.”“Really?” He asked, sitting up straight; he voluntarily cracked his body, and he nodded as he felt little to no pain. The ones he could feel were something he could bear without even noticing.Though there was still a bit of discoloration in his body, it slowly faded away by the week’s end.He didn’t want to stay here again. Not because he had a problem with the hospital and the people but because if he stayed and left by the end of the week, he debated if he would be able to leave by himself or Harvey would come get him.The latter option of Harvey was not something he was willing to let happen, and it would only ruin his plan of waiting to run away. So he prayed he would be able to leave before that day.“So I can leave tomorrow?” Rory asked, excitedly. Dr. Patel blinked as she looked away to the clock.“If you leave, we won’t pay you the balance of your stay. Like I said, your brother p

Rory flinched at the sound of Dr. Patel’s voice. He wanted to abort the plan. Sit in the hospital and do nothing. It wasn’t like he had anything to do at home. He was almost done with his projects from school, and school doesn’t still open for three to four months.He sat on the floor, trying to collect himself. Rory thought about it for a second and decided against it. Dr. Patel already arranged everything for him at a very short notice. He bit his lips, trembling in fear.There was a huge possibility of him coming back here tomorrow if Harvey was at home. But he didn’t have the mind to go back on his words, even after he thanked her for helping him.He liked Dr. Patel; she was observant and ready to help him.Rory shook his head. He was going to go along with it. The difference between the night of the event and now would be broad daylight. He could run away and possibly hide with his dealer.He would probably have to pay from what little money he had left to stay, but it would be m
