The moment Bethan asked Nigel and before Nigel could answer, a young man’s voice rang in her ears.
Bethan furrowed her brows and subconsciously turned to look.
At that moment, Christian was in a flaming red suit. He elegantly crossed his arms leaning by the door. He was smiling and looking at Bethan.
“Uncle Christian told me.”
Nigel’s crisp voice rang. “He said that since we are all his family, we should pay him a visit. Uncle Christian also said that he is willing to fetch us there.”
Looking at Christian entering, Bethan could not help but ask, “Since when the two of you became so close?”
She was asking Nigel as well as Christian.
She remembered during dinner the night before, Nigel and Christian were not a compatible duo.
Facing Bethan’s questions, Christian could not help but smile.
“The friendship between men comes quickly. Furthermore, Nigel and I are cousins. We would be close to each other.”
Then, Christian walked over to Bethan and took her phone over. He smiled and said, “Don’t worry, leave it to me. I’ll handle your Mommy.”
Upon receiving Christian’s affirmation, Nigel let out a deep sigh and nodded. “Thank you, cousin.”
Then, Nigel obediently hung up.
Hearing the conversation between Christian and Nigel, Bethan looked at Christian in shock.
“This is the first time I see Nigel getting along so quickly with a stranger.”
Christian laughed a little, “That’s because I’m charming.”
Actually, Christian did not know anything about Brettley’s sickness.
Nigel was the one that contacted him. He has long guessed that Bethan would be suspicious as to why he would know Brettley was sick, so he contacted Christian earlier to place it all on Christian.
“I know that you’re not the one donating your bone marrow to me, but since my Mommy thinks that it’s you, I won’t expose you either.”
When Christian received Nigel’s call that afternoon, Christian could not help but shudder.
Although Christian was only six, his intelligence and calmness could be compared to Brettley’s!
Nigel slowly analyzed why Christian was not the donor, then he calmly suggested Christian help out with getting Bethan to visit Brettley.
Christian was so stunned by what Nigel said he did not dare to open his mouth to say anything. He was afraid he might say something wrong. In the end, Christian agreed to everything and obeyed Nigel’s arrangement.
That was why Christian would appear there at that moment.
“So, Christian.”
Bethan took a deep breath and looked at Christian seriously. “You hope that I will bring my kids and follow you to the hospital to visit Brettley?”
Only then did Christian come to his senses. He nodded seriously.
“Hmm. Brettley is my uncle. I also hope that he can invest in my new company.”
“Now that he is ill and unconscious, his investment is getting further away from me too. I want to bring you and the kids over to pay him a visit, to let him feel my sincerity…”
“Brettley is unconscious?”
Before Christian could finish his sentence, Bethan interrupted him.
“How is that possible?”
Brettley was still fine the night before. He could even drive over to Blue Bay Villa in the middle of the night to find fault with her.
Why was he unconscious at that moment?
Seeing the confusion and worries in her eyes, Christian sighed.
“He is unconscious. I went to the hospital to confirm. Apparently, his stomach bled from drinking too much alcohol six years ago. He was very ill. This time, his illness relapsed. That’s why he is still unconscious.”
Christian said while observing Bethan’s reactions. “Are you a little worried for him?”
“Should we leave now?”
“I’m not concerned for him.”
Bethan turned her face over. She did not dare to meet Christian’s gaze.
“But since we’re going to visit him, then we should leave earlier. I do not want to delay the children’s dinner.”
Then, Bethan took a deep breath and sped up her packing process.
Looking at her, Christian could not help but sigh. Actually, Bethan was still worried for Brettley…
After Bethan finished packing, Christian’s car, which had already picked Nigel and Nellie up, was waiting at the entrance of the office.
When the four of them reached the hospital, they bumped into Fiona coming out from Brettley’s ward.
Fiona was still in a knee-length dress. Her face was n o longer in a pitiful look, but a mocking expression instead.
“What? Once you heard that Brettley is sick and unconscious, you brought your children over? Are you thinking that he is almost dying, so you want your kids to inherit the family’s fortune? Bethan, how vicious of you.”
Fiona narrowed her eyes, sneered, and looked at Bethan’s face.
“Too bad, you two have been divorced for a long time. From the moment he decided not to pay your children’s medical bills, your children have lost their legitimacy. They will never inherit his fortune. Even i f he dies, his money is all mine! “
Bethan gasped at Fiona’s attitude.
Brettley was only unconscious, yet Fiona was already thinking about the inheritance.
Was Bethan the vicious one or was it Fiona? “Fiona, what are you saying?”
Christian furrowed his brows. He walked over and placed Bethan and her two children behind him. He looked at Fiona in displeasure.
“You’re currently my uncle’s girlfriend. He only just turned unconscious, yet you started talking about inheritance? How is that appropriate?”
Fiona harrumphed coldly. She swept Christian a cold gaze.
“It is indeed inappropriate, but I was not the one that brought it up first. If you accuse me of being inappropriate, then what about her? She brought all her children over once he went into a coma. How disgusting! “
Then, Fiona harrumphed coldly and immediately left.
Bethan remained in the same spot looking at Bethan leaving. She could not help but sneer.
The Fiona that she used to know was always gentle, feeble, and rather sickly. She spoke to people in hushed tones.
Not once had she spoken so harshly with full of gusto like that moment.
It looked like once Brettley was unconscious, she lost her support, so she did not even bother to put on an act anymore?
Why did Brettley like this woman? His taste in women was extraordinarily bad.
However, Bethan’s taste in men was far worse.
After all, the man that she likes had such a narrow worldview, yet she still liked him for so many years.
“Don’t mind her. She has always been this neurotic.”
Once Fiona left, Christian pursed his lips and gently comforted Bethan.
Bethan furrowed her brows.
“You and Fiona used to know each other??
Fiona has only been to Banyan City for a few days. Christian too. However, from the way he spoke, he did not look like he just knew Fiona.
“We used to know each other. We were from the same school.”
Christian waved his hands.
“Back then, she used to pursue me when she saw that I was rich. However, I don’t like her, the pretentious type of woman that likes to fake her illness, so I ignored her.
