Besides the things he said the night before and the roses, Brettley actually did a lot of things for her.
When she was unconscious, not only did Brettley take the initiative to bring Nigel back from abroad, but he also used his money to pacify Theo’s father.
If not, Theo’s father, Nathan, would never have let go of the fact that Bethan killed Theo, let alone persuade Celeste.
Also, Neil.
After Neil passed away, Brettley tried to search day and night for Neil’s torn pieces of clothing amidst the crumbling ruins.
Furthermore, the donor for Nigel’s bone marrow somewhat had to do with Brettley.
Brettley had secretly done all these things for her without telling her.
Bethan sighed. She looked at the man with angular facial features in front of her.
She realized she was getting more confused with this man.
What is he like as a person? Was he aloof and heartless just like how he presented himself?
Perhaps he was like what Jude said, secretly doing a lot of things, then silently bearing through everything.
Bethan could not think straight.
Thus, she wanted to take care of him and get him to wake up sooner. She wanted to ask him for an explanation right in front of his face. Why did he do so many things but never told her?
Why did he clearly care for his children so much, yet he was not willing to share their medical bills? Why did he have to put on a cold and heartless front?
Bethan took care of Brettley in his ward for three days.
In those three days, besides work, she had been cooped up in the small ward.
Sometimes, during lunch, she would also come to check up on Brettley, to see if he has woken up or not.
By the evening of the third day, Bethan looked at the time on her phone. She sighed heavily.
Nigel was about to undergo bone marrow transplant surgery the next day.
If Brettley still did not come around…
Perhaps, he might miss out on Nigel’s most important day.
If something were to happen to Nigel during surgery, he would no longer have the chance to see Nigel anymore.
“Ms. Bethan, don’t worry, with such a wise and kind wife like you, Mr. Morrison would surely wake up.”
The nurse gently comforted Bethan while changing Brettley’s IV drip bag.
“If he doesn’t come around, how could he pay you back for all you have done for the past few days?”
Bethan smiled at the nurse.
“We’re divorced.”
They had been divorced for six years already.
Brettley actually had a new lover.
However, his new lover, Fiona, has not been to the hospital to visit him. Not even once. She did not even come to work.
Perhaps she truly thought that he would not be able to wake up?
Lucas has mentioned Fiona when he came to visit Brettley occasionally. He said that she was sick. She was recuperating at home.
However, although the servants always see her looking sad, she still ate every meal and slept soundly.
When the nurse heard what Bethan said, she was stunned. Then, she smiled helplessly.
“Ms. Bethan, you sure know how to pull my leg. You two are so in love, how could you be divorced? The young couple in love next door are not as close as you and Mr. Morrison.”
Then, the nurse packed up, turned, and left.
“Hold up.”
Bethan pursed her lips and called after the nurse. “My son has an important surgery tomorrow. I’ll head upstairs to accompany him. I’ll leave Brettley in your good hands tonight.”
The nurse was stunned. She turned to look at Bethan with a rather pitiful gaze.
“Don’t worry. They will get better.”
Bethan nodded. She did hope that they would all get better.
When the nurse left, Bethan closed the door and carefully gave Brettley a wipe down.
Finally, she buttoned up his clothes.
“Brettley, if you’re still not going to come around, you’re really going to miss out on Nigel’s surgery. Although the doctors say that the transplant technique is safe and mature, there are still risks. If Nigel’s body has a rejection to the transplant during the surgery, he might not be rescued.”
Bethan laughed bitterly.
“It’s already at this stage, why are you not up yet? If Bethan sniffled her nose.
“If Nigel dies on the operating table, I really do not know how to continue living. What would happen to Nellie?
“Can you wake up and look after Nellie for me? Nellie likes you a lot. I know you like her a lot too. You will surely take good care of her…”
Just when Bethan was going on about her kids while helping Brettley put on his clothes, someone knocked on the door of the ward.
The person that entered was no one other than Nigel’s doctor, Rowena Shaw.
Seeing that it was Dr. Rowena, Bethan immediately placed Brettley down, turned, and looked at her.
“Dr. Rowena, why are you here? I was just thinking of heading upstairs to look for you and discuss the surgery tomorrow after dealing with Brettley. Then, go and see Nigel…”
Bethan only said two sentences when she felt that something was not right.
Rowena’s expression was terrifyingly pale.
When Bethan brought Nigel and Nellie to the hospital that afternoon, Rowena confidently claimed that the surgery would be a success.
However, at that moment, her expression… Bethan was instantly alarmed.
She kept her smile, pursed her lips, and looked at Rowena seriously.
“Dr. Rowena, what is going on? I -Is…there is a problem in Nigel’s surgery tomorrow?”
“Hmm.”
Rowena closed her eyes and let out a long sigh.
She was in the industry for so many years, this is the first time she encountered such a situation.
“The donor…refuses to be admitted into the hospital to undergo surgery.”
Clang!
Bethan took a step backward. Her arm knocked over the cup of water on the table. The cup fell to the floor with a deafening sound. However, Bethan seemed to have not heard the sound. She raised her head and looked at Rowena, stunned. “H-How…did this happen?”
Bethan bit her lips. She looked at Rowena in disbelief.
“I…know the donor. It’s impossible for the donor to not agree to the surgery.”
Christian even came over to visit Brettley that morning. He even chatted with Nigel for a very long time. He agreed to give Nigel the latest model of computer and keyboard after the surgery.
Only more than lo hours have passed and he has reneged on his deal?
“You must be mistaken.”
Bethan pursed her lips and looked at Rowena seriously.
“The donor, me, and the children’s father are friends. How could this have happened…”
Rowena thought back about how Fiona was hysterically saying how Nigel’s death had nothing to do with her. She could not help but sigh heavily.
