His Contractual Mistress-Chapter 482 The Man in Her Dream (Six)

"It made me feel guilty," Shun replied. "However, if my death brings peace, I will gladly accept it."

Hearing Shun's reply, Derek's mouth twitched. "Are you seriously saying that without considering what your wife and children would feel?"

Shun remained silent for a moment. After some thought, he replied to Derek, "It's for everyone. If Hailee successfully killed me in the future, then please tell her everything she needs to know."

"You will add more trouble for me. I only want breakthrough Medicine and Technology. I especially want to complete the time machine I am building."

"Then when you succeed, and I wasn't around anymore, all you need to do is send Madison exactly on the day I die." Shun curled his lips.

"Stop kidding me, Shun. It is not just a simple matter to joke about." Derek berated his cousin. "If someone needs to die. We all know it wasn't you."

"Absolutely, you are right in there… Anyway, at least I am prepared for it."

"Papa!" Madison, who is listening outside, pushes the door open abruptly. "Why are you saying that, Papa? I would not let you and Hailee fight against each other!"

Shun smiled at his daughter. Of course, he would not let their enemies succeed. "Don't worry, Madison. I certainly will not die without putting up a fight with that man first."

"And I will not let you fight alone, Papa!" She will do everything to learn the enemy's moves. She will help her father to unmask this man and outsmart him!

Two days later, Hailee finally woke up. Lady Isabella arrived in Mainland City evening the following day.

"Princess… I'm glad you're finally awake!"

Hailee squinted her eyes to adjust the light in her ward. She looked around, then fixed her gaze on the person who rushed by her side when she made some movement. Jacob never left his eyes on her daughter as he waited for her to regain consciousness.

"What happened, Dad? Did I pass out?" Hailee raked her head to recall what exactly happened to her.

"Don't you remember anything?" The concerns in Jacob's eyes are visible. It worries him too much to the point of blaming himself for not paying attention to his daughter's health. He only thought he would give in to her capriciousness as long as it would make her happy.

"I think so, dad."

"Then you can't recall your nightmare? Madison told me about it."

Hailee shook her head and asked, "Do I have one?"

Jacob sighs with relief. He was thankful that Lady Isabella got rid of them now, and he did not hide it from Hailee.

"Then it was good that you can't remember it anymore. Lady Isabella removed them now."

"Oh…" Is it really necessary? Hailee mused, but she did not share her thoughts. Instead, she smiled at her dad. "So, Aunt Isabella is here, actually?"

"Yes, she is. I heard she will go back to Budapest the day after tomorrow after spending time with Cassie."

"Did she just come to get rid of my nightmares?" It truly surprised her that a noble lady like Lady Isabella would bother to come just for her.

"Of course, she will. You are our precious princess. But remember to return a favor to her in the future if she seeks your help."

Hailee was in a trance, confused. "How could I help her?"

Lady Isabella is a respective noblewoman among royals. She may be distant from the social circle, but queens and kings somewhat bow to her. So how could she be of help to her?

She has already established her reputation. She is one of the richest women in the world. Also, she is actually her idol. In fact, she is the figure she wants to follow.

Lady Isabella rarely appears in public, and if she does, she is wearing a stylish hat to hide her face. She dresses elegantly, and her temperament illuminates sophistication.

That is why she wanted to be a respectable noblewoman like Lady Isabella.

"Princess? Are you alright?" Jacob noticed Hailee was in a daze and seemed in deep thoughts. So he was worried again, curious about what was on his daughter's mind. "What's wrong? Are you feeling pain anywhere?"

Hailee pulled herself out of her deep thoughts and went back to her senses. She looked at her dad and smiled. "I'm fine, dad. I'm just happy that Lady Isabella came despite her busy schedule."

She is also a businesswoman. She has her own organization of women, and in the future, she will also have one of her own. It was one of her dreams!

"Dad!" Suddenly, Hailee remembered something. "I promise the kids that I will have a meal with them. I want to visit them."

"Kids? Who are they?" After seeing his daughter hurried to get down from the sickbed, ask Jacob curiously. He reached for her hand when she staggered a little. "Are you okay with leaving the bed? We should wait for Derek to check on you one more time."

Upon hearing her dad's queries, Hailee examines herself. She nodded with a smile and agreed not to worry her dad.

"Okay, dad. Please stop worrying too much. I'm actually feeling better now. It must be because I was unconscious for days, so my legs did not have strength." To put her dad at ease, she coaxed him. "I will ride in a wheelchair, so I don't need to walk."

"Alright. While we are waiting for Derek to come back from Mainland City Hospital, I will order Kristian to request the dietician in this facility to prepare healthy meals for your little friends."

Hailee walked toward her dad and hugged him. "Thank you, dad! You are the best!"

Madison, who is only observing outside the door, walked into the ward. She plastered a bright smile on Hailee as she strode closer to the bed.

"Hey, Hail! I'm glad you are awake now. We are worried about you."

Hailee smiled at Madison and uttered gleefully. "I'm just fine. Dad explained to me why I passed out." f𝙧𝒆𝚎𝑤e𝚋𝓷o𝘷𝗲l.c𝐨m

Although she didn't remember the nightmare, she recalls she talked to Madison about something.

"Now, you have to be careful."

"I know…" Hailee stopped talking when an idea popped up in her head. She looked at her dad and said, "Dad, can I not go home on my semester break?"

"What is your plan?"

"I want to spend my school break in Paris," Hailee announced excitedly. She glanced at Madison and winked at her. She need not mention that she will stay at the Montfort Chateau as Madison clearly understands her message. "I will learn how to make healthy meals! I want to earn my certificate as a Nutritionist!"

At first, Jacob wanted to protest. But thinking that his daughter needed to learn what food is healthy for her, he agreed in the end.

During lunch, Madison accompanied Hailee to visit the patients at the fifth level of the facility. The kids she promised to have a meal with were delighted with all the gifts she prepared for them. Although toys filled the room they'd stayed in, they all loved the interaction gadgets Hailee requested her dad purchase.

These kids are only a few of several patients who would benefit from her donations. They could not afford the treatment, but they were fortunate to be chosen and granted full support financially through the program.

After hours of playing with them, Hailee walked out the hall, trailed the corridor, and stood near the giant floor-ceiling glass window.

Hailee pulled out her phone and snapped several photos. She checked them first to see if she had taken perfect shots before she inserted the gadget in the back pocket of her jeans.

She was leaving the corridor when her eyes caught another hall and saw a man doing a routine exercise with the help of the machine.

Hailee was in a daze as if her head was trying to mull over to recall something.

'Where did she meet him before?'
