Finally, she raised her head. “I understand, Mr. Morrison.”
For her children, she could only continue to bear it.
Bethan forced a smile with difficulty. In the end, she smiled and looked at Brettley.
“Is there anything else? If not, I’ll head back to work.”
She did not even spare Brettley a chance to speak as she immediately turned and left.
Bethan did not dare to continue staying there in front of him. She was afraid that she could not hold back her tears and the urge to tear him into pieces!
“Wait.”
The instant Bethan’s hand was on the doorknob, Brettley could not take it but call after her.
Bethan gripped the doorknob tightly. It was so tight that her knuckles turned white.
She forcefully suppressed her emotions. “Is there anything else, Mr. Morrison?”
Brettley’s cold voice came from behind her, “Take this away.”
Bethan took a deep breath and turned around. On his table was a small bottle of iodine.
Clearly, he took it out from the first aid kit a moment ago.
Looking at the bottle of iodine, Bethan felt mocked. Brettley left such a huge wound on her heart, yet he only got her such a small bottle of iodine.
How despicable.
“No need.”
Bethan did not go to him to take the bottle of iodine. “I got loads of them in my office. You don’t need to be concerned for such an irrelevant person like me, Mr. Morrison.”
Then, Bethan turned and left, slamming the door shut.
Looking at Bethan leaving, Brettley slightly narrowed his eyes. He smiled mockingly.
Of course, he knew how she felt. It was just that Fiona was Nigel’s last hope.
Without mentioning whether Fiona was approaching Bethan with good intentions or not, even if she harbored ill intentions and did everything on purpose, Brettley still had to bear it for Nigel’s sake. Bethan, too.
Nigel’s only opportunity to survive lied in Fiona’s hands.
He did not mind if Bethan misunderstood him–he only wanted to minimize the conflict Bethan had with Fiona.
At least, before Nigel’s operation, there could not be any more conflict.
After a long while, Brettley sighed and took his phone.
“Lucas. How is Fiona? Also, what about that kid from the Moore family?”
Lucas, on the other end of the line, was silent for a moment before saying, “Ms. Blake bumped into Young Master Moore downstairs. They seemed to know each other from before. Young Master Moore had already offered to accompany her to the hospital. Mr. Morrison, looking at…”
Brettley furrowed his brows a little. “Let him be.”
The Moore family always had financial problems.
They sent Christian Moore over to tighten their ties and to test his attitude and reaction, to let him help out when necessary.
Christian Moore wanted to please Brettley. Naturally, he would also try to please Fiona.
With Christian accompanying Fiona, Brettley did not worry about Fiona.
Brettley let out a long breath and exhaustedly sat back on his chair.
“Send men to protect Fiona secretly.”
When Bethan returned to the office, there was a small bottle of iodine on her desk.
It was the same bottle as the one in Brettley’s office previously.
Did Brettley arrange for someone to send it over? How pretentious.
Bethan narrowed her eyes. She picked up the bottle of iodine and was about to throw it into the bin.
Right at this moment, Shannon entered. Looking at Bethan’s actions, Shannon’s eyes widened and came over to stop Bethan.
“Director Bethan, what are you doing? Aren’t you injured? Zayne brought the iodine over to dress your wounds. It’s just a small gesture. You…”
Bethan’s hand, which was holding onto the bottle of iodine, stiffened a little.
She retracted her hands and placed the bottle of iodine back on her desk. “I see. So, it was Zayne.”
Of course. Brettley, wanting to help her dress her wounds, was just putting on an act.
How could he possibly be truly worried for her? He would not have deliberately sent someone to bring the iodine over.
“Who did you think it was from?”
Shannon sighed. She placed the documents in her hands down and came over to help dress Bethan’s wound with the iodine thoughtfully.
“I know you must be feeling terrible now. Fiona has only come to the company for two days, yet you’ve already had conflicts with Mr. Morrison twice. Now, the entire company knows about it. They said that you were targeting Ms. Blake, so you got a scolding from Mr. Morrison. Director Bethan, I think you should…try to avoid Fiona as best as you can. Otherwise, every time Mr. Morrison protects her and targets you, you’ll gradually lose your place in the hearts of others in the company.”
Bethan flatly responded. She understood the reasoning, but she could not remain peaceful with Fiona’s constant provocation.
At that moment, her phone rang. It was a message from Anne.
(Bethan, latest news. The donor has already reached the hospital. They’re signing the agreement! My friend said that the donor will still be there for another half an hour or so because after the signing of the agreement, they still had to find the other directors of the hospital to sign the agreement, then take a video to confirm the donation! It takes zo minutes from your office to the hospital. You still have time if you leave now! ]
Looking at the message on her phone, Bethan immediately stood up from her chair, which gave Shannon a scare.
“What is it, Director Bethan?”
“I have an emergency. I need to head to the hospital.”
Bethan lowered her head and looked at the time.
“Take a leave for me.”
Then, Bethan immediately turned around, grabbed her coat, and left.
Shannon was still holding onto the cotton swab filled with iodine. Looking at Bethan leaving, she sighed helplessly.
No matter how impatient Bethan was, she should at least finish dressing her wounds.
Shannon sighed, lowered her head, and tidied up the bottle of iodine that Bethan knocked over a moment ago, as well as other things.
Just when she finished tidying up and was about to head out, the office door opened once again.
Thinking Bethan had returned, Shannon could not help but sigh. “I’ll say, you should at least deal with your wound before…”
She was halfway through her sentence when she saw the tall man by the door. “Mr. Morrison?”
Brettley aloofly responded. He placed the bottle of iodine in his hands on Bethan’s desk.
“Where is she?”
Shannon was stunned for a while before she instantly replied, “Director Bethan left anxiously just now. She said she had an emergency.”
Brettley furrowed his brows tight. “An emergency?”
“Yes.”
Shannon thought for a while before saying, “I think…she’s going to the hospital.”
Hospital?
Upon hearing the word hospital, Brettley was stunned.
Fiona was signing the donation agreement at the hospital at that moment, and all of a sudden, Bethan said she was going to the hospital due to an emergency.
Oh, no!
