CHAPTER 47: CHAPTER 47: BROTHERS COMPETING FOR FAVOR (PART 1)

"Don’t move, you need the needle for five minutes." Raina said, then returned to the study to fetch some medicine.

A few dark brown pills lay in her fair palm.

Seeing Elias Hawthorne not moving, she was about to force the pills into his mouth when he took them from her palm.

His fingertips were slightly cool, and the slight tickling sensation caused her heart to tremble.

Raina looked up suddenly, and reflected in her eyes was Elias Hawthorne’s stunning face. His slightly pale complexion and slightly furrowed brows did not detract from his beauty; instead, they added a touch of fragility like glass.

If she weren’t aware of the man’s ruthlessness before her, she couldn’t help but throw herself at him, could she?

Beauty is poisonous, beauty is poisonous...

Raina muttered to herself for a few decades, barely calming herself down.

Five minutes quickly passed, Raina removed the silver needle.

Seeing Elias Hawthorne’s complexion turn rosy, she breathed a sigh of relief and couldn’t help but remind him, "Since your stomach isn’t well, don’t force yourself to eat spicy foods. Your body is your own. If you don’t care, no one else can help."

When saying this, Raina felt quite guilty, as she’s the one who’s been serving him spicy dishes.

"Is this you caring about me?"

"Uh... not really."

"Raina..." Elias Hawthorne’s dark eyes locked onto her, with a pressing inquiry beneath them, "What exactly are you trying to do?"

Raina sighed and sincerely said, "If I say I don’t want to do anything, I just want to stay by Bobby’s side, would you believe it?"

Elias Hawthorne’s thin lips curled with sarcasm, "Believe it. The Hawthorne Family’s only young master is far more valuable than five million."

Upon hearing this, Raina’s face turned pale. She couldn’t speak about her entanglement with Claire North and could only mumble an apology, "I’m sorry, I really have my reasons." Seeing the mockery in his eyes, she immediately added, "I promise it won’t happen again. Really. Please believe me. I really want to be good to Bobby."

As she spoke, tears started to wet her lashes.

Seeing her tearful eyes, Elias Hawthorne instinctively wanted to pull her into his arms, to kiss away her tears little by little.

Realizing what he was thinking, Elias Hawthorne clenched his fists tightly.

How could he trust a woman who sold his son?

But, looking at her sincere eyes, the cruel words were hard to say.

"This is your last chance."

In the middle of the night, Casper North woke up needing to pee.

Barefoot, he dashed into the bathroom to relieve himself.

Whoosh...

With the excess water drained, Casper North sighed comfortably.

Pulling up his little underwear to cover his little willy, he returned to the room, climbed back into bed.

Just about to lie down where he was before, yawning to continue sleeping.

In the middle of his yawn, he suddenly collided with a pair of probing grape-like eyes.

Casper North shivered, his half-squinted eyes snapped open, and he sprang out of bed.

"You..."

The Mythic Beast’s Arm suddenly appeared, pressing Casper North and the words he was about to speak along with his small body onto the bed.

Casper North was pinned down tightly by his mother, unable to move, his face turning red.

And yet!

In the dim light, Casper North clearly saw the mocking smile flash across his cheap brother’s face.

Not only that, his cheap brother deliberately taunted him, taking advantage of his immobility, twisting his small body to roll directly into Raina’s arms.

The most infuriating thing!

Feeling the soft, adorable little brat offering himself, a sleeping Raina instinctively cradled Baby Hawthorne in her arms, lowered her head, and kissed his hair.
