Chapter 368: A Beautiful Crook

Having no choice, Jeremy agreed to go to the hospital. But he was thinking of a way to extricate himself from this situation. He did not want his name and his records to show up on the computer screen.

It would only create more problems for him, like before, when the police caught him just a month ago. The cop ran his fingerprints on the system and discovered that he had run away from his foster family, who had reported him missing.

"Does he have to go with us inside the hospital?" He questioned when they entered the premises. 

If it was only that woman he bumped into, he could have easily slipped out of her sight. But with this giant man always at his heels, he doubted if he could even take five steps away from him.

The man looked strong and fast, just like a movie he had watched with his friends on the tv shop's display window. He feared for any man who had a beef with him.

"Unfortunately, yes. Don't worry about Ben. He is harmless." She tried to reassure the boy, guiding him to the emergency room.

As expected, seeing who she was, one of the doctors, which had become a friend, quickly moved in her direction. He did look around as if his eyes searched for someone else before settling them on her.

"Dani, what are you doing here? Are you hurt?" He could see that she was still in her jogging attire but did not seem to have any injury or whatsoever.

"No, not me, Sebastian. It is my nephew, Jeremy. We had a slight accident. He clumsily tripped on his ankles while we were jogging." Dani stated as she faced the doctor while the boy sat on the bed.

"But, I am..." The boy was about to contradict her statement, but she stopped him.

"Yes, my nephew, you are hurt, and you will get treated." She made sure that her glare should stop him from further arguing with her about her plan. 

As if he understood her, he quickly closed and sealed his mouth as he listened to what she would say next. He was wary, at the same time, interested in finding out why she did that.

She turned back to the doctor and said. "Could you have Jeremy thoroughly check?" It was her first goal, to make sure that he was good. After that, she would try to know more about his story.

Dani could see that Sebastian was slightly confused when she introduced the young boy as a relative. Jeremy certainly did not look the part, especially with the clothes he was wearing.

Even Ben looked at her with raised eyes but remained silent, watching her next move. He was also curious about what her lady boss was planning.

"Can I have a word with you in private for a second?" Sebastian knew that something was going on between the kid and Dani. He knew he had to find out. 

Although he trusted that Dani would not do anything illegal or unethical, he still had to know what she was thinking, bringing a homeless child to the hospital and pretending to be the aunt.

"I know what you are about to say. I  bumped into Jeremy earlier and caused his injury. I want to have him check before I try to question him about his history." Dani explained her plan to him, hoping that he would let this one slide and not cause too much fuzz.

"Ok. I hope you know what you are doing. I will handle the paperwork." He said, knowing that if caught, social service would be all over him.

"Don't worry. I only want to make sure that Jeremy will be fine until he recovers." It was her end goal. 

She knew she could not just let him wondered on the streets with a sprained ankle. He would not survive a day, let alone a week. She had to find out how she could help him.

"Let me introduce you to the doctor who would be handling his care." Sebastian had no choice but to turn over the kid to the specialist.

If the kid was not a minor, he could treat him, but they had a protocol in the hospital that he had to follow. "Don't worry. He is cool." Sebastian whispered to Dani.

"Dani, this is Dr. Dawson. He is currently the attendee in the Paediatric division." He introduced the two and briefed the new attendee with the current case.

"Let me see. Is it ok to touch your food, young man?" The new doctor asked when he introduced himself to him.

"Sure." The boy said, a bit confident now. He knew that the kind lady was trying to help him and not have him arrested.

But he was still not expecting the sharp pain that shot from his ankle up through his legs. He had to bite his lips from shouting in pain. Although tears were already at the forefront of his eyes, he still prevented them from flowing.

Tears were for the weak ones. His foster father kept telling him as he whipped him with his belt when he cried. He never allowed his emotions to show, despite the pain he felt.

"I don't think we will need to have it x-ray. In my opinion, it is just a sprained ankle. A warm and cold compress would surely do the trick. But I can prescribe a weak pain reliever for the discomfort." The doctor finally made his diagnosis.

He looked at the boy and then turned to the aunt but could not see any resemblance, neither in features nor looks. He could have sworn that they were not related at all.

"You can come back here in a few days so we can check on it again, Jeremy." He recommended speaking directly to the boy but letting the aunt hear his instruction. 

But, he doubted that she was in any form of illegal activity. But then again, many did look decent in the underworld business, just thinking of his brother and his associates.

She might be a leader of a mafia gang or the likes. Or maybe a partner of one, judging from the man standing behind them, acting as her bodyguard.. Nevertheless, if that was the case, she was indeed a beautiful crook.
