She knew that Rowena was not telling the truth.
First, it was such a huge hospital, the staff would not have made such a low-level mistake.
Second, even if the staff were careless, when they saw that the person that was paying was Brettley, they would not have forgotten to register.
The only reason why Rowena said all those was because Brettley was the one that arranged it.
He wanted Bethan to return the money back to Bonnie so that his son’s surgery would be using all of his money.
After all, the agreement that they signed clearly stated that when Brettley paid Nigel’s surgery in full only then will the agreement be in effect.
Brettley just came around, yet he already wanted Bethan to return the money to Bonnie. His intentions were obvious.
He still did not want to let Bethan go. He did not want Bethan to leave Banyan City that easily.
However, why did Brettley not want Bethan to leave that easily?
Bethan was clear that it was not because of what Jude said, that Brettley cared for her a lot. The real reason…
Bethan narrowed her eyes and looked at Brettley, who was leaning by the bed. Her eyes were filled with mockery.
The real reason was that he hoped that she continued staying in the Morrison Group so she could be bullied by his beloved Ms. Blake, right?
Brettley was still the same as before. Cold and heartless.
To make his lover happy, he was willing to spend a huge amount of money to continue torturing his ex- wife.
The ex-wife that took care of him for three days and three nights when he was unconscious.
“Okay, I understand.”
Bethan took a deep breath. She swept Brettley a cold glance and smiled at Rowena.
“It’s late. I should head back and rest. I ‘ll come to find you tomorrow to deal with the refund.”
Then, Bethan turned around and was about to leave.
“Hold up.”
Bethan only turned and took two steps when Fiona’s sweet and gentle voice rang.
Fiona pursed her lips and said in a very light and gentle tone, “Ms. Bethan, I have something to say to you.”
Bethan furrowed her brows. She did not want to deal with Fiona, but she was apprehensive of Brettley who was next to her.
Brettley would do anything to make Fiona happy.
Nigel was about to have his surgery the next day. Bethan did not want to create extra problems.
At that thought, Bethan turned around and smiled at Fiona.
“Is there anything I can help you with, Ms. Blake?” “I just want to thank you.”
Although Fiona sounded polite, her posture was lazy yet high and mighty, leaning by the head of the bed.
Fiona looked at Bethan as if she was the empress looking at her subjects.
“My health has not been great for the past few days. I don’t even have the strength to get out of bed, so I couldn’t come to the hospital to take care of Brettley. I heard that you have stayed by Brettley’s side for the past three days…”
Fiona lowered her head. She said with teary eyes, “
I’m truly grateful for all that you do for me and Brettley…”
Then, Fiona raised her head and sniffled her nose. She looked at Bethan seriously.
“However, Ms. Bethan, you’re Brettley’s ex-wife, after all. Although I know that you long had no feelings for Brettley and that you don’t like him that much anymore, I…still feel uncomfortable when I see the both of you together. So…”
Fiona took a piece of tissue and gently wiped away her tears. Her eyes were reddened.
“I beg of you, can you keep a distance from Brettley in the future? It would be better for the three of us.”
Then, Fiona bit her lips and looked at Brettley innocently with her huge eyes.
“Brettley, is my request too much to ask for?”
Brettley narrowed his eyes. He calmly held her hand. “
No.”
Looking at the lovers in front of her, Bethan laughed. Her smiles were filled with mockery.
“I should thank Dr. Rowena, because of her mistake, I could witness this couple in love.”
Fiona’s face turned a little pale upon Bethan’s words.
She bit her lips and looked at Bethan. She was feeling aggrieved.
“I’m only speaking my mind. I did not mean to show off in front of you, Ms. Bethan…”
“I know.”
Bethan turned to look at Fiona. Her eyes were cold.
“But, Ms. Blake, you want me to keep a distance from Brettley. This request is too challenging for me.”
Bethan’s single sentence made the entire room fall silent.
Brettley looked at her with narrowed eyes but said nothing.
Fiona bit her lip, she wanted to say something but restrained herself.
Rowena looked as if she had been struck by lightning, even stopping her actions.
After a few seconds of silence in the ward, Rowena sucked in a deep breath and stood up. She knew the relationship between the three people in front of her was very complicated. But she never expected it to be this complicated… So, she hurriedly packed up her stuff and quickly finished up her work.
“I’ve already examined Ms. Blake’s condition three times, there’s absolutely nothing wrong. Tomorrow The moment the words left her mouth, Brettley hinted at her with his eyes and she immediately corrected herself.
“Ms. Blake will recover by tomorrow.”
With that, she took her medical report and stood up. “Then I ‘ll get out of your way, goodbye.”
All three of them were tough characters to deal with, she did not want to be privy to too many of their secrets. When she left, she kindly closed the door behind her.
The three of them were the only ones left in the enclosed space.
Fiona bit her lip, glanced at Bethan, then switched her eyes to Brettley again, finally letting them rest on Bethan, grievance filling her eyes. “Ms. Bethan, why? I begged you to keep your distance from Brettley, why did you say you can’t do it? It is because you… “
“You misunderstood.”
Bethan cut her off in an indifferent tone. “You heard it too , Ms. Blake , Mr. Morrison paid for my son’s medical bill. He asked my friend to take away the money my friend lent me and paid the bill because he wants me to stay on at the Morrison Group and work for him, make money for him. Also, with an ex-wife like me beside him, you’ll get jealous and it’ll help spice up your love life.”
Brettley’s eyes narrowed at her words. He side-eyed her coldly but did not speak. So this was how she saw him.
“So, it is impossible for me to keep my distance from Mr. Morrison. There’s no president of a company who can completely ignore his designer.”
With that, she glanced at Fiona coldly. “If you have the time to make personal requests of me and make things difficult for me, maybe you should probably talk to Mr. Morrison more, ask him to give up on me soon and kick me out of Morrison Group.”
Fiona turned pale as a ghost.
Looking at Fiona’s speechless expression, a rush of satisfaction welled up in her chest. She smiled at the two people in front of her and said, “It’s late now, I won’t get in the way of you resting, goodnight.”
With that, she left without bothering to look at their reactions. After taking a few steps, she retraced her steps, as if she was suddenly reminded of something, then looked at Brettley faintly and said, “
Right, Mr. Morrison, tomorrow your son, Nigel and I are going to undergo the operation for the bone marrow transplant. Other children will usually have their parents beside them, so I boldly extend you an invitation. If you have the time tomorrow, please visit him at the surgical theatre. He might be happier if you’re there.”
With that, she left once more.
Brettley stood in his spot; his eyes narrowed slightly. After Bethan’s back completely disappeared at the end of the hallway, Fiona bit her lip, raised her head, and looked at Brettley pitifully. “Brettley, look at her! All I did was make a request, I wouldn’t do anything to her if she refused.”
“Why did she talk to me like that…”
With that, she bit her lip and wordlessly held Brettley’s big, dry hand. “Brettley, you really…really can’t make her leave the Morrison Group?”
