“I never would have thought that she would even become my uncle’s girlfriend. Life sure is unpredictable.”
Bethan narrowed her eyes.
She accurately picked up on the words ‘fake her illness’ from what Christian said. “Does Fiona like to fake her illness always?”
Christian was slightly stunned at Bethan’s question.
Using his fist to cover his mouth, Christian cleared his throat.
“I’m just saying. L-Let’s go in and visit Brettley.”
Then, Christian turned around and entered the ward. Looking at Christian’s back, Bethan slightly furrowed her brows.
“Our cousin is hiding something from us, “
Nellie, who always did not like to talk, unprecedentedly opened her mouth and said, “And it’s something to do with that woman.”
Bethan looked at Nellie in shock.
Ever since Nellie had autism, she rarely initiated a conversation.
For that, the doctors did a lot of targeted practice for Nellie. They found many things that Nellie might be interested in, trying to lead her to initiate a conversation.
However, no matter how hard they tried, Nellie was not willing to open her mouth.
No one would have expected that Nellie would take the initiative to speak up.
Noticing Bethan looking at her, Nellie pursed her lips rather embarrassedly.
“Let’s go in.”
Nigel nodded as well. The both of them on each side of Bethan pulled her into the ward.
In the ward, Brettley, with a cold handsome face, was quietly lying in bed.
His face was pale and his eyes were shut tight.
He laid there as if he was just simply asleep, yet he also looked like he was never going to wake up.
Looking at her Daddy, Nellie was a little heartbroken. She bit her lips and reached out to grab Brettley’s finger.
Her voice was as soft as a mosquito buzzing. “Daddy, I’m here…
“Wake up and have a look at me, Nellie…”
Brettley’s brows moved a little, but he did not look like he was waking up.
Nigel turned to look at Bethan. He said in a suppressed tone, “Mommy, he…seems quite serious.”
Then, Nigel also walked over. Together with Nellie, he whispered something in Brettley’s ears.
Bethan stood by the door, her body stiffened. She looked at Brettley with his eyes shut.
She has liked this face for many years. She has also hated him badly. She loathed him to the point where she wanted to rip his heart out.
However, at that moment, looking at him silently lying there without moving, the emotions that surfaced in her heart were heartbreak.
How could he become like that…?
He was just over at her place last night, showing off his powers, commanding her to not be together with Christian.
Why was he lying there the next day, his life hanging by a thread as if he would die at any moment?
Bethan looked at Brettley for a very long time before finally taking a deep breath.
She walked over and hugged Nigel and Nellie. Her tone was ice cold.
“Brettley Morrison, if you have any guilty conscience, you will wake up now. Nigel and Nellie have been sick for so long, yet they did not pass out. How special do you think you are? It’s only a relapse of an old illness. What is there to pretend?
“Back then, when I was thrown into the ocean, I came back from the gates of Hell. The pain I suffered was a million times more than what you’re suffering. Here, anyone could yell out in suffering or fall unconscious, except you.
“You owe us too much. You have to come back alive.”
Christian’s eyes widened. He looked at Bethan in shock. Then, he looked at Nigel.
Jude got Bethan to come to get her to try to wake up the unconscious Brettley.
However, she…
Not only did she not try to wake him up, but she started scolding an unconscious person with vigor.
Nigel looked at Christian and shook his head, signaling for him to stop talking.
Bethan sighed. Then, she aloofly reprimanded Brettley some more.
“If you’re not going to wake up now, it’s best if you just die. When Nigel and Nellie are cured, I will bring them abroad and we will never return to Banyan City ever.
“After you’ve died, they will never visit you ever. You could be together with your beloved Ms. Blake and die alone.”
Then, Bethan took a deep breath and pulled Nigel and Nellie along.
“Let’s go.”
She had no responsibility to wake him up.
Bethan would never forget the things Brettley has done to her and the kids.
She was willing to bring her kids to visit Brettley because of her respect toward Christian, her benefactor.
At that moment, the kids had already seen him. She had also said what she needed to say. There was no need to stay there anymore.
If not, they would really become what Fiona said, coming over to fight for the inheritance.
“Bethan! “
Looking at her about to leave, Jude, who had been hiding in a dark corner all this while, finally could no longer take it. He stood up and blocked Bethan in her way.
“Are you leaving just like that?”
“Brettley turned out like that because of you, yet you just come here to scold him and leave? How heartless are you?”
Bethan was a little surprised at Jude’s appearance.
Upon closer thought, Jude and Brettley are such good friends, it was only normal that he was there since Brettley was unconscious.
However, she could not accept his accusations.
“Because of me? Jude Smith, are you joking? Would Brettley drink to this state because of me? Since when did I have such an important place in his heart?”
In Brettley’s eyes, Bethan was just a dispensable character in his life. Whether it was in the past or at that moment.
If he truly cared for her, even if it was just a little bit, he would not have said such words as not paying for his children’s medical bills.
He would also not attack Bonnie’s company just when she was about to help Bethan. Forcing Bethan to beg him to let Bonnie go.
Everyone knew how vicious he was to Bethan.
Jude bit his lips. He directly grabbed Bethan’s arm and pulled her to the stairwell.
“You received roses this morning, right?”
Bethan furrowed her brows and looked at Jude with a wary face.
“How did you know? Did you send them?”
Jude rolled his eyes at her. He sighed and said, “
Brettley sent them.”
Bethan tensed up in the same spot. She heard her own shocked and stiffened voice.
“How is that possible?”
