Starting with A Divorce

Chapter 326

Chapter 326 To Ocala

The nurse changed her bandage and said gently, “Ms. Easton, if there are no problems with your examination, you can be discharged tomorrow.”

“Okay, thank you.”

Ainsley was alone in the intensive care unit. The empty room made her feel even more uncomfortable.

When she was alone, she could only stare blankly at the news. She repeatedly watched the video of Manuel

walking out of the Wade family five times. She wanted to figure out whether Manuel meant it or if he was just

pretending.

But she could not see through anything. At noon, Matteo came to bring her some food.

Ainsley noticed Matteo frown as if he had encountered something difficult.

“Matteo, what’s going on?”

Matteo forced a smile and shook his head. “Nothing. How do you feel today?”

“The nurse said that I can be discharged tomorrow. Matteo, if something really happens, don’t keep it from

me.” Ainsley’s voice trailed off. There was no emotion that could be heard in the tone of her voice.

“Aisy, are you alright?” Matteo thought of what had happened last night and somewhat felt powerless.

“Matteo, I’m fine. Can you tell me what happened now?” Ainsley looked at Matteo in confusion.

Under her eager gaze, Matteo finally told her the ***story.

“Something happened in the factory in Ocala. It was the first factory established by your father when he

started his career. Something went wrong with the machine, and the workers went on strike. The person in

charge said that the factory was haunted, and then he also said that someone was creating a disturbance. The factory has been suspended for a month. The workers gathered and ****back all the people sent by the headquarters.” Matteo took a deep breath after that.

Ainsley asked in confusion, “Why not call the police? They have violated the law.”

Matteo said with a bitter smile, “Many of them worked together with uncle when the factory was built. I couldn’t just call the police and handcuff them. It will also damage the reputation of the Easton Group.”

He looked into Ainsley’s eyes and said, “Aisy, I will go to Ocala to take a look. During this period of time, I need you to take care of the business on PineMist Island.”

But Ainsley thought about it for a moment and said, “Matteo, let me go for you. I want to have some time to

relax.”

The ***of Seattle was discussing the engagement banquet between Manuel and Irene. She did not want

to hear any of this right now.

“Ocala is unlike Seattle. That place is poor and inconvenient to live in, and the villagers there are outdated. Even the Internet in that place is unstable. I can’t let you go there alone. All the planning for PineMist Island

has been drawn, and there will be supervisors in charge of it. You can just take a walk there whenever you want.” Matteo placed the thermos on the small table on the bed

But Ainsley looked at Matteo and said seriously, “Matteo, let me go there. I don’t want to stay in Seattle.”

The entire Seattle would publicize the engagement banquet a month later. She did not want to see anything

related to Irene and Manuel anymore.

“Aisy, it’s not safe. I can’t just let you go there alone.” Matteo looked determined.

Ainsley held Matteo’s hand and begged, “Please, Matteo. Just let me go. It’s ****me to stay in Seattle.”

Matteo knew why she would say that. He sighed. “How about this? I know a guy in that village. When you

arrive, go find him first. He will arrange a place for you to stay. You can turn to him no matter what happens.”

“I will. So, is that a yes, Matteo?” Ainsley chuckled.

“What else can I say?” Matteo said helplessly.

“Thank you, Matteo.” Ainsley smiled and picked up the spoon.

The weather in Ocala was tough at the beginning of October, but the villagers here were already used to it.

When the black car stopped at the entrance of Ocala, someone was already waiting there. A good- looking

middle-aged man walked over.

A woman got out of the car, carrying her suitcase, and said a few words to the driver behind her. Later, the

black car ***away.

The middle-aged man took the suitcase in her hand and said, “Ms. Easton, right? I’m Jason Sanford, Matteo’s

friend. You can address me Jason.”

“Sure, Jason.”

Jason took her to a house. “You can stay here for the next few days. We don’t have many electrical appliances or anything with technology here. Just make do with it.”

“Thank you, Jason.”

Jason took her into the house. When they got in, a man, a woman, and an old couple in the yard instantly

turned to look at Ainsley.

“Mr. Morton, this lady is from Seattle. She is going to stay in your courtyard for a few days,” Jason said.

saying anything.

Ainsley put her suitcase in a small room and followed Jason out.

“Jason, will you take me to the factory first?” Ainsley asked.

However, Jason’s expression suddenly changed when he heard her mention the factory. He smiled bitterly

and said, “Ms. Easton, I’m afraid we can’t go to the factory today. You should go get a good rest first. I’ll take you to the factory tomorrow morning.”

Ainsley did not understand. She asked in confusion, “Jason, did something happen in the factory?”

Jason’s face was pale. “You will know about this later. I’m not sure as well.”

Seeing that Jason was unwilling to elaborate on it, Ainsley did not ask again. She listened to Jason and

returned to Morton’s house.

When she returned to the room, she saw that the bedding was neatly changed on the wooden bed. It should

have been prepared by the Morton family.

She had always been in Seattle since she was little. She never knew that the walls of the village houses were not painted. She never knew that in this age, when technology was rapidly developed, there was someone actually sleeping in a house made of earth. The only electrical appliance in the room was the hanging light

bulb.

However, when she went to bed, she always felt that there was someone at the window near the bed. At first,

she thought that it was the wind.

But the trees in the courtyard were motionless. It did not look like the wind at all.

She stayed alert all night and did not sleep well. When she got up the next morning, she found that the eldest

son of the Morton family had been staring at her, and his wife also looked at her with jealousy.

The old couple of the Morton family were enthusiastic. When they saw Ainsley come out of the room, they

hurriedly greeted her and told her the breakfast was ready.

“Thank you, madam,” said Ainsley with a sweet smile.

However, the gaze of the eldest son of the Morton family frightened her a lot. The sparks of desire in his eyes

made her get goosebumps all over.

She never raised her head and stared at the oatmeal in front of her. The look in her eyes was cold and

indifferent.

Later, Jason came and took her out.

There was a reason why the Easton Group built a factory here. At that time, Ainsley’s father wasted a lot of

time finding the most suitable factory. This factory used to be a pharmaceutical factory.

This factory was quite big, and it was located not far from the entrance of the village. It was worth

mentioning that most of the people in Ocala worked in this factory, including the son of the Morton family.
