Chapter 55: Don’t Mess Around
The corners of Christine White’s mouth tugged slightly and she didn’t say anything.
In fact, Baird Lane had been coming to the hospital for the past few days, and she knew all about it.
but wondered why he hadn’t come to see her.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Aunt Lucy had another fit over it and almost called to tell the old man, but she stopped it.
“Sister-in-law, are you okay?” Ives Norton inquired in a low voice as he looked at Christine White’s thin frame.
Christine White gathered her thoughts and shook her head and smiled, “It’s okay, thanks Dr. Norton for taking care of me these days.”
“Care is not to be talked about, it’s my job as a doctor to take care of you when you get back.” Ives Norton mentions.
Christine White gave a soft hmmm and closed her suitcase.
“Is Ms. White in, please?” A soft female voice suddenly sounded outside the door.
Christine White and Ives Norton looked over together, only to see a wheelchair somehow outside the wide-open door of the hospital room, with Molly Bort sitting on it with a smile on her face.
“What brings you here?” For whatever reason, Ives Norton took a few steps forward and held Christine White back.
Christine White is all a bit frozen.
“Ives you’re here too.” Molly Bort looked at Ives Norton with a slightly surprised expression.
Ives Norton frowned tightly, “Is there a problem with me being here? You on the other hand, what are you doing here? Do you realize that you’ve only just finished surgery, who told you to run around, I hate patients who don’t listen.”
“Ives don’t you be mad.” Molly Bort took control of the wheelchair and entered the hospital room, her eyes glancing behind him purposefully, “I’m here to see Ms. White.”
“Look at me?” Christine White poked her head out from behind Ives Norton.
“Right!” Molly Bort smiled gently at her, “In fact, I’ve always been worried about Miss White’s health, and I even had the caregiver come over to you a few days ago just to ask Miss White how you were doing, but that caregiver didn’t make it clear, and there was a misunderstanding, I’m really sorry Miss White.”
“Misunderstanding?” Christine White bristled and mentally rolled her eyes.
This woman, as usual, says one thing and does another.
What do you mean have the caregiver come over and ask how she’s doing?
The truth of the matter is clear to everyone in the room, don’t you see Ives Norton looking away and snickering!
“Ms. White.” Molly Bort narrowed her eyes, “You don’t seem to take my word for it.”
“No!” Christine White smiled perfunctorily, “Consider that a misunderstanding, it’s all in the past, Ms. Bort just don’t mention it again.”
She was in a hurry to get out of the hospital and didn’t bother to win or lose with this hypocritical woman.
“Since Ms. White has said so, then I will respectfully accept it.” Molly Bort nodded, then her eyes fell on the suitcase beside Christine White, “Ms. White what are you …”
“I’m getting out of the hospital.” Christine White patted the suitcase.
Her whole brow was raised when she talked about getting out of the hospital.
Molly Bort looked at her flushed face and a flash of jealousy crossed her eyes, “So soon, huh?”
“What? You mean you want your sister-in-law to stay in the hospital for a few more days?” Ives Norton pushed up his glasses.
Molly Bort’s expression froze for a split second and quickly returned to its natural state, “Ives what are you talking about, I’m just envious that Ms. White recovered so well and was discharged so quickly, I really don’t know when I’ll be able to get out of the hospital.”
She sighed emotionally.
Ives Norton, however, struck her unmercifully, “It’s early, you won’t be thinking about it for a few months.”
Molly Bort glared at him petulantly, “Ives, can’t you coax me on purpose?”
“I’m a doctor, and telling the truth is responsible for my patients, got it?” Ives Norton said in an oily voice.
“Ives you …,” said Molly Bort, biting her lip as if she were going to cry.
Christine White was really afraid that she would cry out and disturb the patient next door, she quickly opened her mouth to comfort, “Ms. Bort don’t feel bad, your surgery has all been successful, I believe that you will be discharged soon.”
“Maybe.” Molly Bort lifted her thin, bony hand and gently wiped the wetness from the corners of her eyes, “This surgery was a success, but next time …”
“Molly Bort!” bellowed Ives Norton, his face paling slightly.
Molly Bort, as if she had just reacted to the fact that she had said the wrong thing, gave a couple of fake laughs, “So what, Ms. White, have you packed your bags yet?”
“Okay.” Christine White looked at her suspiciously, then at the man beside her.
Why did she feel like these two were hiding something.
“Now that we’re packed, can we talk?” Molly Bort straightened the wig on her head.
Christine White’s heart sank, “Talk about what?”
Instead of answering, Molly Bort looked to Ives Norton, “Ives, why don’t you step outside for a moment, I’d like to talk to Ms. White alone.”
“What does my sister-in-law mean?” Ives Norton asked Christine White for her opinion.
Christine White was silent for a few seconds, “Dr. Norton why don’t you go out first, since Ms. Bort is here it wouldn’t be a good idea to make her come all this way for nothing.”
“Okay, I’m on my way out.” Ives Norton lifted his foot toward the door.
As he passed Molly Bort, he suddenly whispered a warning in her ear, “Molly Bort, don’t fuck around or do anything to her, you hear me!”
Molly Bort hooked her lips and whispered back in the same way, “Ives, you seem to care about her.”
Ives Norton had a quick, fleeting twinkle in his eye that didn’t acknowledge or deny her words, “Anyway, I told you not to mess around.”
“Don’t worry.” Molly Bort looked down at her hands, which looked like white bones, and disgust was written in the bottom of her eyes, “In my current state of health, there’s no way for me to mess around even if I wanted to.”
“That’s fine.” Ives Norton went out.
Molly Bort closed the door to the hospital room behind her and took control of the wheelchair to Christine White.
Christine White, however, took two steps back, putting distance between them, her entire body very alert.
Molly Bort smiled playfully, “What’s this about Ms. White? I don’t eat people, do you need to be so afraid of me?”
“I can’t help it, I’ve already been taught a lesson twice, and I’m afraid that if I stand close to Ms. Bort, I won’t be able to tell if Ms. Bort has another accident, so it’s better to stay away.” Christine White said in a cool and widowed voice.
Hearing the sarcasm in her words, a wave of hostility welled up in Molly Bort’s heart, but it was quickly suppressed.
“Ms. White really knows how to joke, don’t worry, I won’t do anything to you this time I came here, I just want to know, what exactly did you use to obtain Grandpa Lu’s approval and then marry Baird?”
Once, after all the effort she’d put into pleasing the old thing, the old thing wouldn’t even relent in letting her marry Baird.
But the woman in front of her, who at first glance was no match for her anywhere, was able to gain that old thing’s favor, she really couldn’t understand or figure it out!
What good is a woman like that, with no family and no looks, to marry Baird?
“Means?” Christine White was exasperated, “Ms. Bort did you come here to say that I used means to marry into The Lane Family?”
“Isn’t it?” Molly Bort sneered, “I had my caretaker come to see you the other day to talk to you about all this, but when you ungratefully refused to see me, I had to call Baird.”
“Don’t you think your behavior is disgraceful?” Christine White questioned, clenching her palms.
Molly Bort covered her lips and burst out laughing, “I don’t think so, all I know is that no one has ever dared to reject me, and I won’t allow anyone to do so, not to mention you, not even Baird! And your rejection was a provocation to me, so naturally I had to teach you a lesson!”
She emotionally slapped the armrests of her wheelchair, her face full of madness, no longer able to see a trace of her gentle and orchid-like appearance.
Christine White looked at Molly Bort like this and silently took two more steps back.
This is probably what Debby York would call a sicko.
This kind of person is just too dangerous!
“Christine White, divorce Shen!” Molly Bort suddenly spoke out of turn.
