Chapter 1003: Pray And Hope



As Aaron arranged their bags and made arrangements for them to leave for the airport, Jamal sat on the couch, holding the panda tightly to himself with a sad expression on his face.

Aaron kept casting glances at him, feeling sorry about the situation and his inability to keep his promise of letting Jamal see Dawn. He knew that despite the fact that Jamal had not made a fuss, he was sad and disappointed.

Letting out a soft sigh, Aaron went to meet Jamal, "How about we go get you ice cream and something to cheer you up?" He asked, but Jamal shook his head.

Before Aaron could say anything else, a knock sounded on the door and he went to get it.

He opened the door to see Harry and Jade standing there, "Were you able to find out where she was flown to?" Aaron asked as he let them in.

"Not yet. My men are on it," Harry said as he walked in, not bothering to tell his father that they had been unable to go into the hospital.

"Why was the stuffed animal at the hospital?" Jade asked, looking at the Panda which Jamal was holding on to.

"I'm not sure," Aaron said as he watched Jade go sit down close to Jamal to comfort him.

"I've booked our flight. We will be leaving by 2 p.m.," Aaron said, and Harry glanced at his watch.

It was just past noon.

"What exactly did you discuss with the nurse at the reception stand?" Harry asked curiously.

"I told her Jamal was Dawn's friend and we were there to see her. And she said Dawn was no longer there and had been flown abroad for surgery. She said she didn't know where Dawn was flown to," Aaron said, and Harry frowned his suspicion deepening.

"That was all? You didn't press her further?" He asked, and Aaron shook his head.

"She also said Dawn's name is Genevieve now. Genevieve Harris," Aaron said and both Harry and Jade frowned.

"Genevieve? Since when?" Jade asked with a frown, "This whole situation doesn't make any sense."

Harry massaged his temple as he thought about the situation. If this had been in Ludus, it would have been easier to handle. But here, Ryan and his family had more connections and say here.

Harry took out his phone from his pocket when it rang and he received the call when he saw it was Tom, "Hey!"

"Harry," Tom greeted, concern evident in his tone. "Have you seen Dawn yet?" Tom asked since he knew Lucy would want to know how Dawn was doing when she wakes up.

Harry exhaled. "No. They wouldn't even let us into the hospital. The security man there said Ryan instructed them not to let your family in..."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Tom cut in angrily.

"Yeah. But my Dad was was able to speak with the receptionist. She claimed that Dawn was moved abroad for surgery. That's not the only issue- her name has been changed to Genevieve."

There was a pause on the other end before Tom responded, his voice lower. "Genevieve? Why would Kimberly change her name? Why would Ryan or whatever his name is, deny my family access to Dawn? None of this makes sense. This is all very suspicious," Tom said, and Harry nodded.

"Exactly," Harry agreed.

Tom let out a frustrated sigh. "I'll make some calls and see if I can get some more information from Kimberly's uncle (chapter 607). This doesn't sit right with me either. Keep me posted," Tom said before hanging up.

Once he hung up he dialed Mr. Moore line and it rang a couple of times before Mr Moore received the call.

"Hello, Mr Hank. How may I help you?" Mr. Moore asked me curtly.

"I saw the news. Accept my condolences," Tom said as he walked over to the window in his study.

"Thank you," he said, still sounding cold.

Ignoring the animosity in his voice, Tom went on, "How is Dawn doing? I..."

"If you are calling to talk about her, then we have nothing to talk about. Do not think I'm not aware of how poorly you and your family treated my niece and how your family embarrassed my family publicly. You didn't want the kid, so I suggest you stay out of her life..."

"Dawn is still a Hank," Tom reminded him.

"Did you or your family realize that when you threatened my family to pick her up or you'd send her down alone? Now she's no longer a Hank. She has been adopted by Ryan Harris. I know you're a businessman, and you're likely trying to get her now because you know she stands to inherit all that belongs to her mom and grandparents, but it won't work. You and your family are not allowed anywhere near her, and I suggest you don't try anything stupid, else we will make sure you're unable to carry out your business here." With that, Mr. Moore hung up the call.

Tom's frown deepened as he dropped his hand and slid his phone into his pocket and he massaged his temple.

Kimberly's uncle was a government official and he knew that had not been an idle threat. He had what it took to 1 cause trouble for his business over there.

Tom jolted when he felt Lucy's arms came around him.

"Good morning," she said softly.

"Good morning, Jewel. When did you come in?" He asked as he turned to look at her with a soft expression.

"While you were on the phone. What's going on? You seemed tense," she said, and Tom sighed before explaining the situation to her.

"They changed her name? When? Why? And how can he think you're interested in Dawn's wellbeing because of her inheritance?" Lucy asked incredulously.

"I'm not sure," Tom said, rubbing his eyes.

"It would have been easier for you to handle this had it been Ludus," Lucy said, and Tom

nodded.

"I'm sorry you're being so stressed over this," she said softly, knowing that she was the reason Tom was involving himself this much.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"What can I do? If we had known something like this would happen we would have handled the situation more delicately back then. Right now I don't want to get into involved in this drama especially now that I'm being accused of showing concern for her because of her inheritance," he said with a frustrated sigh and Lucy embraced him.

"I understand," Lucy whispered, feeling saddened by it all, and even more so for Jamal who had traveled all that way to be with Dawn only to be disappointed.

Before either of them could say another word, Tom's phone rang with a call from Harry.

"We just received confirmation that Ryan is out of the country. He left with Dawn to get her surgery for her face. They claim she sustained severe injuries on her face. Your parents want us to return to Ludus and wait until we receive news of her wellbeing," Harry said, and t "Were you able to talk to Kimberly's uncle?" Harry asked, and Tom told him about the

conversation.

"That's bullshit. Why would he think that you're over the kid's inheritance? The fact that he said something like that makes me even more concerned," Harry muttered. "There is nothing we can do right now. You should come back. Leave some men to keep an eye on things there. Let's wait and see how this plays out," Tom suggested before hanging up. "I'm sorry, Jewel. I have no idea when or how you're going to see Dawn, but it's out of my hand," Tom said, and Lucy nodded.

"It's okay. I understand. All we can do now is hope and pray that she will alright," she said with a soft sigh.
