Chapter 63 What Do You Want
Chapter 63 What Do You Want?
The woman in bed had a similar face to Faye.
The difference was Faye had a cold temperament while Carlotta looked tenderer.
Faye walked into the ward, followed by Colin.
A look of suspicion flashed across Carlotta's face when she saw Colin. She cast a speculative look at Faye.
Faye didn't try to hide Colin's identity from her and said directly, "This is Colin Farrell."
"Colin Farrell? The Farrells?" Carlotta muttered with a twitch at the corner of her mouth.
Faye looked back at Colin and said, "This is my aunt, Carlotta."
Before Colin could say hi, Carlotta flung a kettle filled with hot water at him.
Luckily, Colin dodged it in time, and the kettle broke at his feet on the ground. The water flowed on the floor, still steaming hot.
Faye winced. "Auntie..."
Carlotta sat propped up in the bed by pillows, trembling in rage, and pointed her finger at Colin, crying, "Get him out of here! I don't want to see any one of the Farrells!"
"Auntie, but Colin came to..." Faye explained.
"Faye, don't make your aunt angry. I'll go out and wait for you," Colin cut in.
Colin made Carlotta a bow and then walked out of the ward.
Colin replied it with a courteous, gentlemanly gesture, which made Faye feel guilty.
She didn't like being wronged by others, nor did she like to let others feel hurt.
But Colin had been hurt because of her.
After a long while, Carlotta cooled herself down and then questioned Faye in disappointment, "Faye, don't you remember what the Farrells have done to your parents? Have you forgotten how your parents died?"
Faye pursed her lips, taking a deep breath. "I do remember."
"Then how could you bring him here?" Carlotta continued to question.
Faye couldn't tell her the reason, because she was afraid that Carlotta wouldn't refuse the treatment from Jadon.
Carlotta's eyes fixed on Faye's face. "Have you fallen
in love with him?"
Carlotta knew Faye had married Colin for a certain reason, but Faye didn't tell her the complicated details.
"No," Faye replied flatly.
"Then why is he here?" Faye asked with disbelief.
Faye went out of the door to call a nurse to clean up the mess on the ground, and turned to Carlotta. "Because the most dangerous place is just the safest one. Colin is an illegitimate son of the Farrells. He doesn't know anything about my parents' death."
"So what does that mean?" Carlotta was a bit confused.
"After you recover, you can come to live with me. You are my aunt. As my nominal husband, he will certainly protect you. Anyway, he doesn't know about my parents."
However, what Faye had said was only half-truth.
Faye did want to let Colin protect Carlotta but she didn't tell Carlotta that Colin actually knew about her parents.
Faye had advantaged Mdam Farrell's plot one evening and slept with Colin so that she could get protection from Colin.
But it had been unexpected that Colin knew everything about her.
After hearing Faye's explanation, Carlotta regretted having been overreacting just now. "Has he become suspicious just now?" she asked.
"Don't worry. I told him you've been emotional and irritable since you hurt your leg."
"But I said to him I didn't want to see the Farrells just now," Carlotta said.
"It's okay. I'll explain to him that you didn't mean to it."
Carlotta patted her chest with relief and nodded. "It's my fault. I shouldn't have lost my temper."
Faye walked over to the bed, comforting her, "Auntie, please rest assured, I'll make the Farrells pay for everything they did to you and my parents."
Carlotta held Faye in her arms, sobbing her heart out.
When Jadon came into the ward in a doctor's coat, Carlotta had just been soothed by Faye.
Jadon made a thorough examination of her injured leg, and then looked up at Faye. "It's not healing well. I can't say it'll be restored to the original after the surgery." Faye didn't reply.
"I want to give it a try," Carlotta spoke.
Jadon answered with a gentle smile, "But I have to remind you, it's gonna hurt a lot."
"It's okay. I can bear it." There was a flush in Carlotta's cheeks.
"Okay, We'll give it a try. Please rest assured, I'll try my best."
After that, Faye showed Jadon out.
"Where's Colin? I didn't see him," Jadon asked with a smile.
"He has something to do so had to leave."
Jadon nodded. "Abbot said Colin had been very triumphant in front of his mates since he married you."
Taking his words as complimentary platitudes, Faye didn't say anything but just smiled.
Jadon thought she was just being shy, so changed the topic. "Faye, I don't think your aunt's injuries were caused by a fall."
Clenching her fists, Faye said, "Someone beat her."
Hearing that, Jadon was not much surprised.
As an experienced doctor, Jadon could see that Carlotta's leg was broken by a blunt force trauma. However, he just couldn't imagine how such a tender woman was subjected to violence. After Jadon left, Faye phoned Colin.
Colin picked it up and said in his charming husky voice, "Has Jadon seen your aunt?"
"Mmm," Faye said.
"I'm in the parking lot, come down," Colin said.
When Faye just arrived at the parking lot, she saw Colin standing by his car, smoking and holding the door.
At the sight of Faye, he took off the cigarette and stamped it out. "How's your aunt's injury? Can she be restored?"
Faye walked over to him, looking up at him, wearing an indifferent expression. "Colin, let's be frank. What do you want from me?"
The smile on Colin's died, and the next moment, he put on a wicked smile. "You know what I want, don't you?"
