Fiona came to look for the donor, most likely at Brettley’s request.
There was no other reason, mainly to threaten Bethan.
After all, Fiona just left for the hospital when Brettley started threatening Bethan, telling her that if she hurt Fiona, he would let Nigel die.
Previously, Brettley could only control her money.
However, if Brettley could also control the donor of the bone marrow, Bethan and Nigel’s life would be at his mercy.
This man was utterly ruthless. Bethan truly underestimated him.
At that moment, her phone rang. It was an unknown number.
“Hello, are you Nigel’s mother? I am Brettley Morrison’s nephew, also Nigel’s cousin. My name is Christian Moore. I want to meet you.”
Bethan gripped the phone somewhat tighter. “Y–You’re…Brettley’s nephew?”
She knew that the person who called her must be the man she had seen a moment ago.
She did not expect that the donor was a relative of Brettley.
On a second thought, though, it made sense, too.
Nigel was Brettley’s son. The possibility of Brettley’s relatives having a compatible bone marrow with Nigel was larger.
“Hello?” asked Christian when he did not get a response from Bethan.
“I’m here.”
Bethan took a deep breath, and she gripped her phone tightly. “We’re just in time for lunch. Why don’t we have a meal together? I’m near the hospital.”
Christian, on the other end of the call, was rather surprised. “What a coincidence. I ‘m at the hospital. I ‘m not from Banyan City, so I ‘m not familiar with this place. Why don’t you decide on a place to meet?”
Bethan nodded. “I’ll wait for you at Raindrop Paradise opposite the hospital.”
Then, Bethan immediately hung up. She let out a long breath, turned, and entered Raindrop Paradise.
Raindrop Paradise was a restaurant specialized in healthy and nutritious foods.
Upon Bethan’s request, the waiter recommended some healthy dishes to her.
Soon after, Christian arrived.
When he pushed open the door of the private room and noticed Bethan, he could not help but be stunned. “
Have we met before?”
Bethan smiled. “You’re probably mistaken.”
She then pointed at the seat opposite her. “Have a seat.”
Christian furrowed his brows. Had he mistaken her? He doubted so.
Was this woman not the one looking at him because she was attracted to his good looks on the 13th floor of the hospital just moments ago?
He would not mistake such a pretty lady.
Although she was not willing to admit it, Christian did not need to expose her.
He sat on the chair and looked at the feast of dishes on the table.
They were food that helped improve blood circulation.
Did this lady think his blood needed to be improved? Come on. He was only 19 years old. He was at his prime, alright?
Christian looked at Bethan rather in displeasure. “I don’t like these dishes.”
“But it’s good for the body.”
Bethan looked at the man in front of her who acted coolly yet still had hints of childishness on him. She smiled a little.
“Do you have anything you want to do recently?”
Christian furrowed his brows tightly.
What was going on with this lady? He only wanted to look for her to visit her child so he could please that weird uncle of his.
Why was she feeding him all these nutritious dishes while asking if he had any wishes he wanted to fulfill?
Seeing how Christian was looking at her in confusion, Bethan cleared her throat.
“Don’t get me wrong. I’m just asking. Y–You…don’t have to say.”
She was indeed a little too impatient.
Christian slightly narrowed his eyes. Looking at how hesitant Bethan was, he thought back about how she looked at him closely back at the hospital previously.
Also, he recalled his conversation with the doctor when she looked at him.
Suddenly, Christian understood.
Did she think he was the bone marrow donor for her son? That was why she was so polite to him, not only agreeing with him to visit her child but also feeding him so much healthy food. She even asked him what he wanted.
Christian looked at Bethan’s pretty face and could not help but smile.
Since Fiona did not want Bethan to know about her, he might as well just replace Fiona to become Bethan’s great benefactor.
After all, everyone knew how much Brettley cared for his wife, Bethan Peterson.
If he could get Bethan on his side, everything next would go smoothly.
At that thought, Christian sighed. He pretended to shake his head helplessly.
“There are two things I want to do recently, but I don’t need to finish them all. As long as I achieve one of them, I’ll be thrilled.
“The first one is,” he said, looking at Bethan as he did, “I want to have a relationship with a beautiful woman like you, Ms. Bethan.
“The second is to get my uncle, Brettley, to invest in my new company.”
He smiled and looked at Bethan. “Which one will you be willing to help me fulfill?”
Christian chose his words purposely. He thought that Bethan, a mother of two children and one of them about to undergo an operation, would never choose to have a relationship with a 19 -year-old guy like him.
While it looked like he gave Bethan a choice, he was, in fact, making her pick the second option to help him get Brettley to invest in him.
Little did Christian expect, however…
Bethan lifted her head, smiled, and looked at Christian.
“I don’t need to choose. I can help you fulfill both of them as best as I can.”
Then, Bethan took a deep breath while eating with her head lowered. She said, “I won’t, however, get into a relationship with you. You’re too young for me, and you’re only nineteen. My kids are already six years old. Also, I gave my word to someone that I’d no longer be in a relationship.
“I have a friend who works in a cosmetic surgery hospital here in Banyan City. I’ll get her to help you look out for pretty girls your age. As for your company…”
Bethan put her utensils down. “May I ask, what type of company is it?”
Christian looked at Bethan in a daze. “I –It’s…a company focusing on jewelry.”
“What a coincidence. “
Bethan smiled. “I ‘m quite an expert in this field. You can pass me your company’s vision and plans, and I can advise you on it. Although Brettley is cold -blooded and heartless, as long as your plans can bring him enough benefits, he’ll agree to it. After all, he’s still a businessman.”
Bethan’s mere few words instantly rendered Christian speechless. Her sincerity made him feel that he was pretentious and shameless.
However, he could not tell her the truth after stating his requests. Moreover, if he were to tell her that he was not the donor, what if she demanded from him news about the donor?
When he was at the hospital, he had already promised Fiona that he would not say a single word… At that thought, Christian bit his lips.
“Actually, about this matter, I–“
“I’m a little busy right now, “
