"Coincidentally, ever since I was a kid, my dad has always said that I am like an untamable wild horse, no one can control me except myself."
"Coincidentally, I am someone who likes conquest, especially in curing all sorts of difficult issues."
Lucas Warren’s lips curled with an innate pride.
"Faye Townsend, you should be very clear that if I want something, you have no right to refuse me.
Don’t keep trying to challenge me, you should know, I hold the card that could tear your happiness to shreds."
Faye Townsend gritted her teeth as she looked at him, both locking eyes without any ripples, only fierce sparks flying.
Being able to confront him fearlessly, Lucas Warren felt that Faye Townsend, this young girl, had truly grown up.
In the past, she would be utterly flustered with just one glance from him.
"But I am pretty sure, you definitely dare not use that card lightly, otherwise, you will lose much more," Faye Townsend said with a slight laugh: "Am I right, elder brother?"
Lucas Warren held his arms: "Interesting, Faye Townsend, you indeed are extraordinary, and it’s precisely because of this, I’m so determined to have you.
But you are right, I indeed won’t use that card casually.
Only , the game is truly interesting, isn’t it?"
After saying that, he bent down and gently pulled the blanket over her: "It looks like you want to rest; I won’t disturb you then. You have a good rest, as we’re bound to meet again soon anyhow."
He finished speaking, clapped his hands with a sly smile, and turned to leave.
After he left, Faye Townsend swallowed her saliva and relaxed, lying down on the bed as if she had just let go of a heavy burden.
Just now, she had used up all her courage; if he had stayed even a minute longer, she might have collapsed from fear.
The relentless demeanor of Lucas Warren truly bothered her.
She had no idea to what extent he would go, nor did she know when he would use that card.
Right now, Lucas Warren was like a ticking time bomb, capable of shattering the happiness between her and Hunter Warren at any moment.
Her hand gently rested on her chest as she closed her eyes.
Grandma, what should I do, what if I ultimately fail to protect the secret?
You in heaven, you must help us, right?
You liked Hunter so much, and you liked me as your granddaughter-in-law. I believe, you will surely bless us, right?
Grandma, I can’t afford to lose, now I only have Hunter.
Please, you must protect us, you simply must.
When the door to the ward was opened again, Faye Townsend looked at the doorway in fear like a frightened bird.
Seeing that it was Hunter Warren, Faye Townsend breathed a sigh of relief.
Noticing her pale face, Hunter Warren walked over and kissed her forehead: "What’s wrong, you look awful? Are you feeling unwell?"
Faye Townsend shook her head: "I’m feeling fine now, could you please ask the doctor when I can be discharged?"
"Why, you want to go home?"
"Yes, I miss the child, and I don’t like the hospital environment, with medical staff coming in and out all day, it feels uncomfortable."
Hunter Warren ruffled her hair: "Okay, I’ll go ask in a bit.
Why isn’t Roman here? I called him just before I left to come keep you company."
"He came, but after sitting for a while he said he got tricked by Sebastian Sheldon, then he ran off and hasn’t come back."
Truthfully, she was somewhat angry with Roman Hughes now, he truly felt like some of those policemen, always appearing after everything had already ended.
Hunter Warren took out his phone to call Roman Hughes: "You’re back, huh?
Wait a bit for me, I have a patient here for a follow-up.
I have something very important to talk about, I’ll hang up first."
Hunter Warren put his phone back in his pocket: "He has a patient, well, since I’m done with my tasks, I can stay and accompany you."
Hunter Warren placed some documents on the desk and then turned to go ask the doctor about Faye Townsend’s condition.
After leaving the doctor’s office, Hunter Warren caught a glimpse of a somewhat familiar figure turning the corner away from the nurse’s station.
He didn’t think much about it, turned back to the ward, and upon entering, Faye Townsend immediately asked: "How did it go, can I be discharged?"
"The doctor said to administer IV fluids for one more day, observe in the afternoon, and if there’s nothing wrong, you can be discharged tomorrow."
Faye Townsend sighed in relief, that’s great, finally, she could leave this place.
After Roman Hughes came up, Hunter Warren had already switched into work mode.
