CHAPTER 70: CHAPTER 70: THEIR AFFAIR IS DISCOVERED BY RENEE PERRY

A dozen minutes later.

Elias Warner arrived at the other party’s ward.

The young woman was lying on the hospital bed, her face pale.

A cast was on her leg.

The sensation of her bones breaking filled her with fear, she almost cried out loud when the doctor was applying the cast just now.

It was too painful, heart-wrenching pain.

But even such pain couldn’t compare to the trauma inside.

Now, both her heart and body were covered with wounds.

When Elias Warner came in, she was extremely surprised.

It was like being in a dream.

Her eyes lit up, for her, Elias Warner was her good medicine, and her ailments instantly improved by half.

"Elias, why are you here?"

She crawled up from the bed, looking pale, sickly.

The servant attending to her immediately left the room.

Elias Warner put one hand in the pocket of his coat, glanced at the woman lying on the bed, "I think I should clarify, we were merely aiming for a familial alliance, a mutually beneficial cooperation to appease the parents. I have no interest in you, and don’t think you can gain my sympathy by harming yourself, it’s quite pointless!"

His icy voice made the autumn night’s hospital room even colder.

The woman’s eyes reddened slightly, looking at the man standing not far from the door, not stepping in any further, "I know! Rest assured, between us, it’s just a familial alliance. You have no feelings for me, I’m aware. But it’s not like you think, last night, my car..."

"It skidded, didn’t it?" Elias Warner seemed to see through the woman’s act long ago.

He knows the car’s performance better than anyone.

The car had anti-skid chains on its wheels, could it skid from an autumn rain? What car can skid and then injury your own leg?

Such a clumsy lie, he disdains to expose it.

The woman was shocked, daring not to look Elias Warner in the eye.

His eagle-like eyes seemed to have the ability to see through everything.

Her leg was indeed intentional.

"I came to consider the family’s reputation, but it doesn’t mean I’ll compromise because of this affair. Since you wish to break the rules, I think our cooperation ends here!"

"I... you really misunderstood..."

She refused to admit.

"Alright, I’ve said what I needed to say! Don’t continue to contact me anymore in the future!"

Elias Warner withdrew his hand from the pocket, opened the ward’s door, and stepped out of the room.

The woman inside clenched her fists tightly, yet her body trembled uncontrollably.

Leaving the hospital.

Originally, Elias Warner planned to visit Annelise Winter at the villa before leaving, but having gone to visit the so-called fiancée, there wasn’t time to return to see Annelise Winter.

Thinking of Annelise’s every move at the villa last night, he wondered if he was imagining things, always hoping she would be the same as the time when they hadn’t broken up.

Always bringing him good memories.

He called Uncle Ford once more: "Uncle Ford, how is she? What’s she doing?"

Uncle Ford reported, "Miss Annelise has been in her room, asleep."

"Don’t let her leave the villa, wait for me to come back!"

Uncle Ford, though feeling troubled, had never gone against Elias Warner’s decisions.

At the hospital.

Uncle Ray handed a stack of photos to Renee Perry.

"Madam, here are the photos you wanted!"

Renee Perry took the photos from Uncle Ray’s hands, flipping through them, her mouth forming a satisfied smile.

"Hmm, truly can’t understand what’s so good about Annelise. Look at these photos, these two, truly a match!"

Renee Perry put the photos, taken when Elias Warner went to visit his fiancée, captured by the camera, into the folder.

"I’m not daring to restrain Elias too much, so let Annelise be obedient! Last time, I really gave her face!"

Thinking of Annelise, Renee Perry felt not letting her disappear from this world would feel unresolved.

But it seemed making her disappear would be too cheap on her.

"Uncle Ray, drive me to Elias’s villa!"

Renee Perry’s eyes were cold and fierce, feeling she should extract some interest from Annelise for this matter.

At the villa.

The autumn rain had already stopped, hearing the thunder last night, slept very late.

Annelise Winter always had the problem of not being able to sleep after changing places, plus she worried all night, that Elias Warner would return and continue to humiliate her, or that the so-called sister-in-law would return and kick her out of the villa.

Even in her dreams, she could link these two things together.

Dreaming of Elias humiliating her in front of the sister-in-law, she was humiliated by the sister-in-law and then kicked out of the villa.

She rubbed her aching head.

Checked the time.

She should leave, get up and use washing supplies Uncle Ford gave her.

Besides that, Uncle Ford prepared breakfast for her.

Unexpectedly, Uncle Ford prepared her favorite Lake Caelan porridge.

"Uncle Ford, thank you, I didn’t expect you to remember my favorite breakfast."

"Miss Annelise, it was by young master’s orders!"

Uncle Ford’s words stunned Annelise, the spoon she was about to bring to her mouth was put down.

Was it him?

He actually remembered her favorite food.

"What’s wrong? Miss Annelise? Has the porridge gone cold?"

"No... no, thank you!"

Annelise continued eating her porridge.

"Uncle Ford, it’s hard to get a cab here, could you please send me back to my apartment later?"

Today, she still needs to work, fearing delay if waiting for a cab here.

"Miss Annelise, young master said you should not go anywhere until he returns!"

"What? How dare he?"

Annelise never expected Elias Warner to restrict her freedom, it was simply perverse.

She angrily called Elias Warner.

But Elias Warner did not answer.

"Miss Annelise, don’t call anymore. Young master is on a flight today, did you forget?"

Uncle Ford’s reminder did make Annelise remember Elias indeed had a flight recently.

But she couldn’t just stay here, after all, she still needed money to pay back her friend Sylvia Lowell, and her dream was to strive for accompanying her daughter Luna forever.

How could she not go to work?

Annelise lost her mood for eating.

"Uncle Ford, Elias Warner isn’t home, don’t make it hard for me, please let me go to work. I promise I’ll come back after work!"

Annelise pleaded, looking at Uncle Ford.

Uncle Ford frowned, smiling, "Miss Annelise, don’t put me in a difficult position! Just stay at home, rest assured, Kybourne South Airlines is Warner Family’s business, no one dares to fire you even if you don’t go to work!"

"But..."

While the two were arguing, a stretch Lincoln luxury car drove into the villa gates.

The door opened.
