Chapter 883
Marcus drove a low-key car to the hospital today. It was a black Audi. Because there was no driver, Crystal could not sit in the back seat and treat Marcus as the driver, so she had to sit in the passenger seat.
She fastened the seat belt and Marcus started the car. Crystal hesitated for a moment and asked, “Where is Antony?”
Marcus said lightly, “He sneaked out when he was grounded. Of course, he is being punished now.”
Crystal froze.
She had never stayed at the Evans family home before, so she did not know what the Evans family rules were like. However, judging from Antony’s condition that day, it seemed that he was in a bad state. She had never seen Antony so tired and dispirited.
“What’s wrong?” Marcus took off his disguise in front of outsiders and said coldly, “Are you worried about him?”
Crystal did not answer. She knew that once she answered, Marcus would definitely take this opportunity to mock her. She did not want to hear those hurtful words from Marcus’s mouth.
No matter how bad their relationship was, Marcus was still her blood-brother.
There was a moment of silence in the car.
Crystal always felt very sleepy recently. As she sat in the car, she fell asleep in a daze. When she woke up, it was already late. A large piece of sunset glow was scattered in the sky. It was radiant and gorgeous.
She was very familiar with the scenery outside the window.
Crystal looked at Marcus hesitantly. “Where are we going?”
Marcus said, “According to Dad, you are no longer a member of the Evans family. Of course, I can’t bring you back to the Evans residence to embarrass them. Since you are pregnant with Harold’s child, it’s his duty to take over of you. We’re on the way to Flower Land.”
Crystal was a little sad.
She had only met Daxton once. Even though she had not spoken much to her biological father, it was probably because of the blood flowing in her body that she wanted to get close to him.
But now, in her father’s eyes, she was just a shame.
Crystal quickly comforted herself that she could still go back to Flower Land, her home, despite the fact that she could not go to the Evans residence.
She could even see Harold.
She touched her lower abdomen unconsciously and looked out of the window. At dusk, the neon lights on the city center’s Shine Road had already intertwined and flickered. A perfume advertisement was being played on the LED screen of Star. The farther residential area also gradually lit up with a lamp, slowly gathering into a sea of lanterns, filled with smoke and fire.
The traffic on the road was also more crowded, and there were some traffic jams on the road after work. Marcus was wearing a headset to arrange his work. Crystal could tell that he seemed to be very busy recently. There were many companies that looked for him for endorsements and acting, but Marcus did not agree. His voice was casual and gentle, completely different from his attitude toward her.
Crystal lowered her head and told herself not to think too much. Suddenly, Marcus took off his headset and asked her, “Do you regret coming back to City W?”
Someone had asked her this question before.
But Crystal was a person who never regretted her choice. Even though she was in trouble now, she still shook her head.
Marcus laughed. No one knew whether it was mockery or pity. He said, “If I were you, I wouldn’t have come to City W from the beginning. This is the biggest fame and fortune field in the whole Hallbury, but it’s also a human-eating cave. It’s not a good place.”
“If you were to stay in Sunshine Village, these things wouldn’t have happened. Isn’t it good to spend the rest of your life there?”
Crystal thought that she did encounter a lot of bad things and bad people in City W, but…
Her lover was also in City W.
