Chapter 233 Karl Guarded Her All Night

While Hailey was asleep, Lily fed her two bowls of sobering soup. Probably because she had drunk too much, she was woken up by the urge to pee the next morning. Like a lost soul, she went to the bathroom. When she came out, she was fully

awake.

She grabbed her phone to check the time, only to find that the phone call hadn’t

ended. She gaped at the screen and shook her head, thinking that it was at hallucination.

When she confirmed that it was true, she freaked out, held up the phone, and called out tentatively, “Karl?”

She could hear the wind and rain as well as the rustle from the window in the

background. The deep voice of a man then came.

“You’re awake.” He spoke in a standard British accent.

“Why didn’t you hang up the phone?” Hailey asked.

“I missed your snoring and thought that it could make me sleep better.” Karl joked

with her.

Hailey was embarrassed. “No kidding, I don’t snore. For that, you were on the phone for hours? International calls are expensive, dude.”

“I’m rich,” Karl said.

Hailey didn’t know what to say. From where did he learn that line? Okay, fair enough!

Hailey checked the time and calculated the time difference. “It should be 11:30 p.m. Blard time. Karl, it’s time for bed.”

Karl hummed.

“Is it raining over there? Given the sound, it’s pretty heavy. It’s also the rainy season in Poya. The rain is incessant. Remember to take an umbrella with you when you go out even though you look sharper in caps. How is your leg by the way? Have you regularly taken the medicine I mailed you?” Hailey rattled on, and the man on the other end hummed from time to time..

“Do you have trouble sleeping?” Hailey heard another hum, thought for a moment,

and proposed, “How about I sing a song for you?”

Karl yawned and said, “I’m sleepy. Gotta go.”

Ding. The phone call that had lasted around seven hours finally ended. Hailey looked

at the phone and pouted. “Yuck, do I sing that terribly…”

No one knew how Ryan had disciplined his daughter last night, but Catherine sat in the living room and greeted Hailey like a well-behaved child.

“Good morning, Hailey.” She stood up and bowed.

“Good morning, where is your dad?” Hailey responded.

Catherine pointed with her mouth. “Doing exercise in the yard.”

Hailey looked outside and frowned. “It’s raining.”

“Nothing can stop him. Probably, that exercise can ensure longevity.” Catherine

scoffed and yawned. When she opened her eyes again, Hailey was no longer in the living room.

“Huh? Where did she go?”

Lily served the doughnuts and said with a smile, “She went to practice with your

dad.”

Catherine was speechless. Adults were toxic. This exercise was created by Andreas Wesel, a world- famous doctor from the Netherlands. Combining eastern and

western medical theories, it mimicked the movements of animals, and those who practiced it will have better immune systems and blood circulation.

Grandma Melissa from Fenneth had practiced this set of exercises since her childhood. Now over 90 years old, she was still hale and hearty. Her appetite was still good.

In a white gown, Ryan practiced under the dark blue sky. Amid the wind and rain, his clothes fluttered. His figure was vigorous. From the distance, he looked like a hermit warrior. Holding an umbrella, Hailey entered the pavilion, stretched herself, and

practiced along with him.

This exercise was created based on the images and movements of animals which

had different characteristics Their moves were quite different. Ryan moved vigorously like a tiger and a bear while Hailey moved swiftly like a deer and a bird. Their styles were a world different.

Ryan ended his practice and saw Hailey leaping up and landing on the ground. His clear eyes were tinted with a gratified smile. “Not bad. So many years apart, you’re skilled as ever.”

Hailey rolled her eyes and said, “Care to compliment me in another way?”

After finishing the exercise, Ryan held the umbrella, and they went back shoulder to

shoulder.

“How was your talk with Katie last night?” Hailey asked.

“Good, I think,” Ryan replied.

“Tell me about it?” Hailey was a little curious.

Ryan thought for a moment and said simply, “I told her that if she continued to court the Holland kid, I’d break her legs.”

Hailey felt that the veins were popping on her forehead. “Did Katie give in?”

“It’s not in her dictionary. She is as stubborn as you,” Ryan scoffed.

“Who is stubborn? Hailey huffed.

“It doesn’t matter.” Ryan casually waved his hand and grumbled bitterly, “She begged me to give her a chance.”

Hailey ignored the begging part and asked, “What chance?”

“In the summer vacation, if she can make Matthew fall in love with her without crossing the line, I’ll agree to their relationship.”

Ryan felt a pain in his chest as if a part of his flesh and bones had been gouged out. Girls would leave home eventually. It was the most vicious curse in this world.

“Did you agree?” Hailey looked up at him incredulously.

Ryan pursed his lips and laughed bitterly, “Can I refuse? Last night, she looked as determined as you were. I know that she will go on the same path.”

Hailey’s heartstring was struck, and her blood froze. She hadn’t set a good example for the younger generation. Did Catherine have to go through the same suffering? In fact, Matthew and Owen were not much different. Owen didn’t know love, but

Matthew knew too much about love. The former hadn’t been open while the latter had been enlightened too early. He was also a dangerous man.

Ryan wrinkled his eyebrows and said stiffly, “She is in her rebellious stage and goes against me about everything. I’d rather grant her wish. She won’t make it anyway.” This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Hailey looked sideways at him and asked, “Why are you so sure?”

A sneer tugged at Ryan’s mouth. “She won’t even be able to see him.”

Hailey silently looked up at the sky. It looked like Matthew would be in exile. At least, he would not be seen in Poya any time soon. The world would become quiet.
