I Become A CEO After Divorce novel Chapter 609

Chapter 609: Dangerous Houses in Demolition Areas

The hospital room was a single occupancy, so it's OK to have people present. Marnon's condition wasn't stable, and with several people in the room during the day, Mitch insisted on getting a single occupancy room.

After finishing their meal, everyone cleaned up the hospital room. Reed then asked his younger siblings to go back to their rented apartment.

Upon hearing this, Yanis looked at Reed and asked, "Is your apartment far from here?"

Mia stood by holding a chicken leg and said, "It's quite a long drive."

Yanis glanced at Mia's face and reached over to wipe her mouth with a napkin. "I'll take you guys back later."

When Marnon heard Yanis' offer, he immediately refused, "Let them take a bus back; there are too many people for your car."

Reed nodded in agreement, "The bus ride is only half an hour away; it's not far at all. Mia just thinks it takes too long."

"It's not that... uhh..." Mia didn't finish her sentence as Natasha stuffed the chicken leg into her mouth before she could say anything else.

Mia blinked her eyes at Natasha, but decided not to say anything more because she was smart enough to understand what had happened.

Yanis and Bonnie both saw what happened, but pretended they hadn't noticed anything as they chatted with Marnon for a while before leaving together along with some of the Miller kids.

The group walked down together like an army marching forward; they filled the entire elevator when going down from upstairs.

Once downstairs Yanis turned to Reed asking him if he would send his siblings off at the bus stop.

Reed nodded his head and said, "I'm afraid they might take the wrong direction."

Yanis checked his watch, then turned to Bonnie, asking if she was in a hurry to deal with the work in the afternoon.

Bonnie shook her head, saying,"No rush; I can go around three or four o'clock."

Yanis suggested,"How about we ask Myles where he is right now? We can use two cars to send them home."

Bonnie agreed, nodding her head as she took out her phone and dialed Myles' number.

Myles answered quickly, "Bonnie?"

"Where are you?"

"At home. What's wrong?"

"I'm here with Yanis at St. Mary Hospital. Could you come pick us up?"

"No problem. I'll be right over."

Bonnie said, "Drive your biggest car, the one that can fit a lot of people."

When Myles heard this, he asked, "Should I drive my brother's SUV over there?"

Bonnie replied, "That works, too. Hurry up."

Myles nodded and said, "It'll take about fifteen minutes. Wait for me over there."

After Bonnie responded with an affirmative and hung up the phone.

Yanis looked at Reed and said, "You go upstairs to take care of your mom. I'll take Mia and them back home. Don't tell your mom about this."

Reed hesitated.

Bonnie also spoke up,"We have two cars that can fit everyone."

"But it's too much trouble for you guys," Reed protested.

Yanis looked at Reed and said," You go upstairs. If your mom needs water or anything else, you can look after her."

When they arrived at their destination, Bonnie saw some buildings outside through her window, and couldn't help but furrow her eyebrows slightly,"Isn't this area supposed to be demolished?"After Bonnie finished speaking, she looked at Yanis and asked, "Do they live in this demolition area?"

Yanis glanced outside the car window with a complicated expression. This area had been planned for demolition several months ago. Most of the residents had already moved out, leaving only stubborn elderly people who didn't want to leave or families who were determined to stay despite being labeled illegal occupants.

However, most people had long since left this place. The surrounding old commercial street was also sparsely populated; some merchants left after receiving compensation.

After looking around for a while, Yanis got out of the car and opened the back door. "Natasha, do you live here?"

Natasha nodded and pointed to a building in front of them. "It's over there; it's very spacious with four rooms inside. Everything is clean and complete; my brother and sister said it's great."

Mia also came forward and said excitedly, "I like it too!"

Yanis rubbed Mia's head affectionately before asking if they could go upstairs.

Myles' car was parked on one side at this time; he got off the car and looked at Bonnie suspiciously: "Did you guys take a wrong turn? This is all demolition area with no one living here."

Bonnie replied firmly: "Nope! This is exactly where we're supposed to be."

Myles frowned slightly as he looked towards the kids.

Yanis and Bonnie went into an empty building that somehow seemed unsafe – its emptiness gave off an uneasy feeling.

The rental house was indeed spacious enough, but lacked furniture except for three makeshift beds made from boards laid on the floor.

"Are there people living here?" Myles turned once before looking towards Bonnie skeptically.

Bonnie nodded her head explaining that housing prices in downtown areas were very high – even renting would cost more than two thousand dollars per month!

Today when she saw Marnon's medical records in hospital room which showed how much money her illness required – being able to stay at St Mary Hospital was already considered good enough! And earning such money wasn't easy either!

"Natasha," Yanis asked after seeing everything inside, "do you know how much rent is here?"
