The Doted Lady Is So Wild

Xenos took her hand and said in a considerate tone, “I know you don’t want to face it. Don’t worry, we’re getting engaged so that Uncle Collins will feel at ease. We won’t get married. You can still stay with Ethan.”

“It’s such a pity that you didn’t enter the entertainment industry.”

Kristen praised her sincerely, but when she saw her puzzled expression, she exposed her bluntly. “You were acting from the beginning. You deliberately approached me so that I would feel that you have someone in your heart.”

“Let me relax my guard while creating a chance to be alone with Ethan and making me jealous. Uncle Collins pretending to be sick must have something to do with you, right? Now you’re pretending to be a helpless and considerate saint. Your acting is not bad, but it’s a pity that I’m a professional actress.”

She had long been wondering why Xenos approached Ethan while saying that she didn’t want to be forced to get engaged.

She had no idea when the villa had fallen under her name. Ethan wouldn’t tell her, so the only possibility was her.

“This woman is good at acting. I have been deceived by her for so long.”

Xenos’ disguise was exposed, and she said, “Since you know, I won’t hide it from you anymore. But there is one true thing. I do like the night market because of a boy, and the boy is Ethan.”

Xenos stood up and spoke sharply, “We are childhood sweethearts. I accompany him through the most gloomy times. I thought Scarlett had left, but you should come. I understand him the most and I am also the most suitable. What right do you have to be with him?”

“I’m afraid this is all just wishful thinking. If you are suitable for each other, you would have been together a long time ago.”

Kristen saw through her lie and said, “You’ve worked so hard. Even if you can get engaged to Ethan, you won’t be able to win his heart.”

“I don’t care if I can get his heart. I just want to be Mrs. Wharton.”

Since things had come to this point, Xenos didn’t try to cover it up.

“Xenos.”

Mr. Collins’voice traveled around the corner. Xenos put on a gentle expression and said to Kristen, “Ethan fell ill because of you. Leaving him is for his good.”

“You scheming woman, what do you want to do?”

Mr. Collins walked out of the corner and glowered at Kristen.

Kristen sneered inwardly and slapped Xenos in the face.

“You should play a full set. I’m so unprofessional.”

“You!”

Xenos was stunned. She had never thought that Kristen would hit someone in front of Mr. Collins.

Kristen rubbed her wrist and looked at Mr. Collins. “Uncle Collins, I respect you so much that I call you Uncle Collins. You can act as you like, but I can’t allow you to disturb Ethan.”

“Who do you think you are?”

Ethan’s father scoffed. “This is our family business. Only a well-bred young lady like Xenos is worthy of Ethan. As for you, you’re just a plaything.”

Plaything? Was she, the daughter of the Oliver Family, a plaything?

Kristen sneered and said rudely, “Do you not know how Ethan fell ill? He was poisoned by Lilac before, and he almost lost his life because of the poison. Where were you at that time?”

“What?”

Mr. Collins staggered back a step. He had no idea that Ethan had been poisoned.

“My sister-in-law, Kristen, come here.”

Xenos walked over and pulled the angry Kristen away.

Xenos Winter looked at the two and her gentle face darkened.

Although she barely knew Ethan’s friends, she didn’t expect Xenos Wood to address Kristen as Sister-in-law.

“How is Ethan?”

Kristen asked anxiously. Right now, nothing could compare to Ethan’s health.

“My bro’s condition has stabilized temporarily, but we still need to hurry the operation.”

Xenos ‘ face was solemn. Although Ethan’s vital signs were stabilized, the index was still too low.NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

Kristen comforted her, “Don’t worry, Doctor M has agreed to have the operation.”

“Really? That’s great.”

Xenos was relieved, but at the same time, he was confused. “Kristen, how did you persuade Doctor M?”

He had always been curious about this matter. Doctor M couldn’t even be invited with money. How did she do it?

Kristen mumbled ambiguously, ” Because of our acquaintance. When will Ethan wake up?”

“It will probably be tomorrow.”

Xenos glanced outside and comforted her. “Kristen, don’t worry about them. Wait until Big Brother wakes up.”

“Well, can I see him?”

Kristen was in low spirits and her bright eyes were unfocused.

Xenos noticed that something wasn’t right, thinking that she was unhappy because of the situation earlier. She nodded and said, “Yes, you go in there. I will deal with them.”

“Okay.”

Kristen walked into the ward and saw Ethan lying weakly on the hospital bed. Her nose twitched and tears fell.

When dealing with outsiders, she could be likened to a tiger baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, but when dealing with the people she cared about, she was more like a cat that was not even a month old, and her heart was fragile.

Kristen couldn’t help asking herself, “Is it important to be together?”

It was important but less important than Ethan’s life.

She had been too headstrong. She knew that the sooner Ethan had undergone surgery, the better it would be, yet she had still chosen to be with him. She was delusional that everything would change.

Now that Ethan was lying here, she could hardly absolve herself from the blame.

Kristen clutched Ethan’s hand tightly, tears streaming down her cheeks like a broken string.

Outside the ward, Mr. Collins tugged on Xenos’ sleeve anxiously and asked, “How is he?”

Xenos looked at his concerned face and only felt a sense of ridicule.

Back when Steve was still around, he had never shown concern for his big brother.

His eldest brother had always been in poor health due to the poisoning, and he had never visited him once.

He was now so concerned about Ethan. To put it nicely, it was because of conscience. To put it frankly, it was because Steve had been sent to prison, and the Collins family was not as good as before.

He discovered his elder brother’s talent in the business and he kept an eye on TNK Group. Then, he remembered that he was a father.

It was no wonder that her elder brother hated such a person so much.

Seeing Xenos remain silent, Xenos hurried forward to ask, “Xenos, is Ethan alright?”

Xenos greeted him with a smile. “Xenos, long time no see. I remember the last time we met, I joked that we were fated to meet. Even the name was similar.”

“Yes, the things are still there but men are no more the same ones..”

Xenos sighed with emotion. She didn’t see the contempt on Xenos’ face.

It was a pity that the word “Xenos” was wasted.

Big brother’s condition is not very good, so we can only delay it like this. I can only guarantee that Big brother will survive, but he can’t compare with ordinary people in the future. As for how many years can he live, I can’t guarantee that, either.

Xenos purposely emphasized the situation. Mr. Collins fell heavily to the ground, unable to accept the result.

Xenos stared at him in disbelief. “Is that true? But why isn’t Doctor Wood nervous at all?”

“I knew it a few years ago. I’m the attending doctor of my brother, and I saw him struggling until now. If you don’t believe me, you can find another doctor.”

Xenos was very sure that no matter which doctor they invited, the result would be the same.

Xenos Winter believed her now, but she didn’t look worried at all. Instead, she looked a little… happy.
