Chapter 271 She Was Confined 

Hailey woke up with a bitter taste in her mouth. Then she smelled the strong odor of medicine. Since she was not completely sober, she

thought that she was back to the days when she was in Fenneth.

“She woke up! She woke up!”

Hearing some shouts near her, she opened her eyes to find herself surrounded by many people. As soon as she tilted her head, she met Owen’s face just a few inches away. Then she saw Sofia, Jared, Ryan, Brook, Matthew, Catherine, and Bob. With a frown on her face, she

murmured in a husky voice, “Why are you all here?”

Owen looked at her anxiously. “Hailey, how do you feel?”

“Bitter” Hailey pressed her lips together. Then she said simply, “Water.”

“Okay, water. Give her some water. Be quick!”

Catherine fetched a cup of water and handed it to the person in front of her, who gave it to the next one. Finally, Owen got it.

Leaning against Owen’s arm, she gulped the whole cup of water with the help of Owen. Looking up, she noticed the ward crowded with

people, including Polly and almost all the members of the Moores, which surprised her who then choked on water violently.

All the elders there frowned immediately at Owen.

Steven wore a long face. “Just help her drink it slowly. How could you fail to do that? So stupid.”

Abby was unsettled “What are you doing? Just wipe her mouth.”

Polly came forward by moving the wheelchair. “She is choking on water. Pat her back to help her breathe.”

Being anxious, Owen put down the cup quickly and took some tissue to wipe Hailey’s mouth. Then, he patted her back, wishing that he

had more hands to take care of her. When he just patted her twice, he was scolded by the elders again. “Be tender!” Their voices were so

loud that he couldn’t help sweating.

After drinking the water, Hailey found the bitter taste in her mouth gone. Looking at Ryan, she complained, “Did you feed me some
