Chapter 96
At that very second, she grabbed the needle and pierced him!
Marcus responded instantly and held onto her wrist hard. The nurse did not back down and fought him with the other hand. She was very agile.
However, she lost to him after fighting a few rounds.
Marcus easily put her hands behind her back. Half of her body was pressed against the bed, and she could no longer move.
“Ouch, it hurts!” screamed the nurse. “Let me go!”
Marcus pulled off her mask.
“I surrender, I surrender!” The nurse looked at him, pissed. “You’re always going all out with me. You won’t give in at all!”
Marcus chuckled before letting her go. The nurse got up immediately, standing far away from him. Grievance filled her big eyes as she caressed her hurt wrist.
He shook his head helplessly. “Why are you here?”
“You’re hurt. Can’t I visit you?”
“Does dad and Aunt Cloud know that you’re here?”
“Who cares?” The nurse looked mischievous. “Wouldn’t it be enough that you’re here with me? Zennie Hamerton will forever be Zephyr Hamerton’s sidekick. Did you forget that?!”
Marcus was stunned. His eyes were gentler now.
Zennie Hamerton was his half-sister of the same father.
Although he was unhappy with his father’s remarriage, he remained courteous toward his stepmother on the outside.
However, Zennie was the only one from the Hamertons that he actually cared about.
They were many years apart. Not only that, but she loved following her brother since she was young. She would follow whatever he did and would listen to what he said more than what her parents said.
Sometimes, he thought they had a special bond. Her name was Zennie, and she was indeed as sweet as her name.
“Sigh, Mr. Grist.” Zennie blinked mischievously. “Don’t tell me you’ve really forgotten that your last name is Hamerton after being Mr. Grist for so long?”
Marcus looked at her.
She showed her tongue and said in all seriousness, “I came here to tell you what has happened at home lately. To get you prepared. Also… Hehe, I want to see what my sister-in-law looks like!”
Marcus’ face turned grim. It was terrifying.
“Alright!” Zennie pouted. “Look at your face. Do you think I’ll eat her alive? I just want to know who she is. Don’t worry. I won’t let her see me no matter what, okay?”
“Hmm,” Marcus grunted. He kept frowning. “Be careful in whatever you do here. Don’t let anyone find you. Also, how did you come here? Nobody came with you?”
“Yes!” Zennie suddenly looked shy, like a little girl. “P-Phil came with me.”Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
“Phil?”
Marcus thought about the name for a long time and recalled that Phil Nelson was the Hamertons’ long-time employee. He was not even a bodyguard or a driver. He was only doing some hard labor at the Hamerton Manor.
He had never noticed this person before. Given Zennie’s behavior, something was off.
“What?” He squinted. “Are you guys close?”
“No!” Zennie denied, her cheeks flushing right away.
“Okay, okay. Let’s stop here. Let’s meet at the bar Josiah always goes to tomorrow night. I’ll tell you what happened at home by then!”
She turned around and left quickly while pushing the medicine trolley.
At the same time she left the ward, Cordelia and Linda happened to walk over. They met.
Zennie remained calm, smiled at them, and walked far away.
“Cordelia…” Linda pointed at Zennie. “There’s such a beautiful nurse here? Have you met her before?”
Cordelia thought about it. Indeed, she had never seen that person before. However, it was a huge private hospital. She couldn't remember everyone!
