CHAPTER 126: CHAPTER 126: MENTAL ILLNESS

Seraphina Redgrave was speechless, but seeing Ethan Sterling’s relentless demeanor, she had no choice but to look into his eyes helplessly and said with a cold smile, "Young Master Sterling, why don’t I return what you just did to me, and then try to appease you again, how about that?"

Let’s see if he’ll still say I’m being difficult.

She thought Ethan Sterling would look worse after hearing this, but unexpectedly, his face unexpectedly lit up as he looked at Seraphina Redgrave.

The next moment, she was swept up by Ethan Sterling in a princess carry.

Ethan Sterling carried Seraphina Redgrave straight downstairs.

The living room was empty, except for the scent of roses carried by the breeze.

Everything downstairs was still in its place. Ethan Sterling set Seraphina Redgrave in front of the coffee table and then sat himself in a wheelchair, one foot on the wheelchair, rolled up his pant leg, and then stuffed a bone-breaking plier into her hand, "Here you go."

What’s wrong with him?

Even with her usual composure, Seraphina Redgrave’s expression changed at this sight. She looked at Ethan Sterling’s serious face and then at the bone-breaking plier in her hand, not knowing what to say.

What exactly does he take her for? What does he take himself for?

Is a bone in the body some meaningless part, something to be broken at will?

Of course, Ethan Sterling didn’t care what Seraphina Redgrave thought and said, "Whatever I did to you, you can do to me, let me see how you coax people."

Coaxing Little Rose is too troublesome.

He’d rather endure some grievances and let Little Rose coax him.

Granny Coleman had just prepared dinner and was about to call the two for dinner, only to step out and witness this bizarre scene.

Nathan Ayers walked in holding documents and, seeing the pair in the living room, cold sweat slid straight down his forehead.

Whatever Young Master Sterling does, it’s always earth-shattering.

"Young Master Sterling, there’s no point in saying such things." Seraphina Redgrave placed the bone-breaking plier on the coffee table, "If I really did something to you, I’m afraid I wouldn’t see the sunrise tomorrow."

He is the president of the Sterling, surrounded by bodyguards equipped with real guns and bullets, what could she possibly do?

Ethan Sterling sat in his wheelchair, one foot on the coffee table, with an arrogant air about him.

His amber eyes fixated fiercely on Seraphina Redgrave, and after a long while, Ethan Sterling smiled lightly, with a curl of his lips, he picked up the bone-breaking plier from the coffee table again, "Why worry about this, you’re my person, whatever you do to me, I’ll accept willingly."

His tone was as if discussing the most mundane matter, yet the content of his words made everyone present too afraid to move.

Seraphina Redgrave stood in place, barely able to pull herself away from his seemingly enchanting gaze.

She turned her face away from Ethan Sterling, "If you truly wish to apologize, Young Master Sterling, why don’t you remove the people monitoring Granny Coleman and Hibiscus Garden."

After hearing these words, Ethan Sterling curled his lips, his voice low, "I was coaxing you just now, but now, you promised to coax me."

Was he emphasizing that today she must break his leg bone?

"..."

Seraphina Redgrave was completely speechless.

"What?"

Ethan Sterling shoved the bone-breaking plier back into Seraphina Redgrave’s hand again, almost coercing her to break his bone today.

Seraphina Redgrave really had a moment where she wanted to cripple Ethan Sterling’s leg to vent her frustration. But she still retained a strand of reason, so she didn’t do such a delightfully satisfying thing.

The atmosphere became awkward for a moment.

Seeing this, Nathan Ayers stepped forward to break the tension, "Young Master Sterling, the old manor called, said the family doctor needs to do a routine checkup in the next two days, and asked you to go over quickly."

Ethan Sterling cast a cold glance at Nathan Ayers, "Can’t you see I’m busy?"

Nathan Ayers almost recoiled a step backward, frozen.

"Young Master Sterling, Miss, let’s have dinner first, shall we?"

Granny Coleman spoke, breaking the awkward atmosphere between Young Master Sterling and the Miss.

Seraphina Redgrave knew Nathan Ayers and Granny Coleman were helping her out, so she said, "I’m hungry."

After saying this, she walked towards the dining room, and Granny Coleman, fearing Ethan Sterling would still trouble Seraphina Redgrave, quickly pulled Seraphina Redgrave into the kitchen.

Seraphina Redgrave had experienced too many chaotic things today, placing the bone-breaking plier down, she said in a low, cold voice, "He ought to see a doctor, a psychiatrist."

Isn’t Ethan Sterling suffering from some significant condition?

Upon hearing this, Granny Coleman reflexively knelt to the ground, trembling uncontrollably, her face full of terror.

Seraphina Redgrave looked at Granny Coleman’s face changing, somewhat puzzled.

Still in the living room, from his wheelchair, Ethan Sterling looked at Granny Coleman abruptly kneeling, although he didn’t hear exactly what Seraphina Redgrave said, he could guess.

He looked at Seraphina Redgrave, his face turning cold, "What’s going on."

Seraphina Redgrave looked at Granny Coleman, who was shaking nonstop on the ground, and then at Nathan Ayers beside her, whose face was pale and dared not utter a word, knowing that she shouldn’t repeat what she said earlier and chose silence.

"Bang!"

Ethan Sterling kicked over the coffee table in front of him, his expression grim, glaring at Seraphina Redgrave, "Seems you’ve already prepared for my disgust!"

Then he stood up, walked out of Hibiscus Garden, never turning back.

Nathan Ayers immediately followed after him.

After Ethan Sterling left, Granny Coleman in the living room didn’t dare to breathe heavily.

It wasn’t until a long time before Granny Coleman slowly stood up from the ground, her body still trembling.

Seraphina Redgrave helped Granny Coleman up, somewhat puzzled, "Ethan Sterling wouldn’t really..."

She had heard Hector Shaw mention that the Sterling Family had a hereditary neurological disorder, Ethan Sterling’s sister died from that illness.

And because his sister was sick, that’s why Ethan Sterling brought her out.

Could it be...

"Miss! Miss! This is a taboo! It mustn’t be spoken of!"

Granny Coleman shook her head like a rattle, fearing that Seraphina Redgrave would say something terribly disrespectful, "The less Miss knows, the better for yourself, the longer you can stay by Young Master Sterling’s side."

She didn’t want to stay by Ethan Sterling’s side, please!

Seraphina Redgrave did not press Granny Coleman further, rubbed her forehead, too many things happened today, she hadn’t even read a few pages of her book, "I’m skipping dinner and going to sleep."

"Okay, okay."

Granny Coleman was still trembling.

That night, the bedroom was pitch black.

Seraphina Redgrave was sleeping when she was suddenly pulled into someone’s embrace.

It was a man’s embrace, hot yet possessive.

She couldn’t see anything in the darkness, only feel the man’s hot breath.

Suddenly, she felt her earlobe being bitten, a hint of frustration in the action.

"Little brat."

The man burrowed into the blanket, tightly holding Seraphina Redgrave in his arms, starting to suck on her earlobe.

Seraphina Redgrave was fully awake, but she didn’t move, only whispered, "Weren’t you disgusted with me?"

Since you’ve already left, why come back again.
