Chapter 373 – How about giving your life in return?
In front of the jewelry store, a group of suits dressed in elite style dressed people rushed to dial 120, while Cliff Ford picked up Lu’s mother on the ground, looking at Linda Mark at a loss for words.
Tess Baker was in pain and a cold sweat kept breaking out on her forehead, but tried to hold the corners of her mouth together and said, “I’m fine, Bowen Carter, just take it easy.”
Why is he here?
Oh, this mall seems to be owned by The Carter Group. He’s supposed to be here to inspect it.
“Shut up!” Bowen Carter held her close, not a trace of blood on his handsome face, and the smell of blood lingering on the tip of his nose sent a wave of irritation through him.
It’s only been a few hours since she’s seen you and she’s gotten herself into this state, can’t she be a little more reassuring?
Seeing that he was angry, Tess Baker explained in a small voice, “It’s not that I don’t care about our children, mostly that guy just stabbed Linda in the heart and it was too dangerous.”
It’s better for her to get a flesh wound than for Linda to lose her life.
Bowen Carter grimaced and didn’t make a sound, all he could see was that she was hurt!
It wasn’t long before the ambulance arrived and Bowen Carter got into the car with Tess Baker in his arms. Without waiting for Linda Mark to get in, he closed the door and urged the driver to drive.
“I’ll walk you there.” Cliff Ford walked up to Linda Mark, with only her reflection in his eyes.
“I have a car.” Linda Mark crossed over to him and looked at Lily Yang, who was being supported by Lu’s mother, with a mocking expression, “You’d better care about your sister Linlin.”
After saying that, she almost brutally pushed him away, opened the car door and drove away in the red BMW. Tess that idiot actually blocked in front of her, and didn’t know if the injury was going to be serious or not!
Cliff Ford breathed a long sigh of relief and headed off to the side toward his Ferrari.
” Cliff ,” his mom called out to him, “Lynn is hurt pretty bad too, why don’t you take me and her to the hospital. You don’t have to stay with her, I’ll just stay with her to bandage her wounds.” Lu’s mother said almost pleadingly.
After all, it was his own mother, Cliff Ford suppressed his impatience and agitation, “Get in the car!”
Hospital, ward.
Tess Baker’s injury was nothing serious, just a little flesh wound that was quickly bandaged. There was no need for hospitalization, but Bowen Carter had forced the issue, and she hadn’t argued back.
“Don’t go anywhere for a few days to nurse your wounds!” Bowen Carter was about to leave with a sullen explanation.
“Bowen Carter,” Tess Baker said cheekily, thinking of what Wind Carter had said, “can you come stay with me for the next few days while I’m in the hospital?”
“There’s Linda Mark,” Bowen Carter said tautly.
Linda Mark put aside those messy preoccupations for the moment and said, spreading her hands, “I’m not available these days.”
A good sister wants to get back together with Master Carter, and she helps out a little bit when she can. Just now Tess rushed out to stand in her way, really freaking her out and touching her to the core.
Tess Baker raised an eyebrow and locked eyes with her, well done.
Bowen Carter, his sword brows furrowed, swept a pale Tess Baker from the hospital bed, didn’t say yes or no, just sat down next to the bed.
Seeing this, Tess Baker breathed a sigh of relief that he was agreeing.
“I’ve got things to do, so I’ll go.” Linda Mark stood up and frowned at Tess Baker, seeing that she really wasn’t in any trouble before she left the hospital room. But just as she went out, she came back in, her face hard to see.
Tess Baker wants to ask her what’s going on, but with Bowen Carter still around, she’s not quite comfortable asking.
Linda changed her face just as she stepped out of the lower door though, had she met someone she didn’t want to see? She inclined her head to look out the window just in time to see three people walk past it.
Even if it was just her back, she could recognize that it was Cliff Ford, Lu’s mother, and the one called Linlin. Cliff Ford accompanied the one called Linlin to the hospital, so it was no wonder Linda was angry.
“Well, I’ll leave now, you take care of your body.” Linda Mark inclined her head to look out the window, her gaze fell on Tess Baker, “You’re pregnant, don’t do such dangerous things in the future, scare a big living person to death!”
“Good.” Tess Baker agreed with a smile, but what she did in that situation was instinctive, and she couldn’t be sure what she’d do if there really was a next time.
Assured, Linda Mark then left.
The moment the door to the room closed, Tess Baker and Bowen Carter were the only two people left in the hospital room, and she unconsciously looked over at him just in time to meet his gaze, and her heart stuttered, missing a beat.
“Thanks … for today.” Tess Baker averted her eyes in panic and stumbled over her words.
It’s funny that she’s a mom of two and she’s still blushing over a stare!
“If it weren’t for the baby in your belly, you think I’d help you?” Bowen Carter looked at her askance, his words mocking.
Tess Baker’s body stiffened, then smiled, “Anyway, you helped me, so I should thank you. A thank you is a bit thin, how about a favor in return?”
She pretended to be relaxed, but her hands were sweating.
“Heh!” Bowen Carter sneered, his eyes sneering.
The scene overlapped with the scene when the two were first married, and a stabbing pain went through Tess Baker’s heart; they could have had a peaceful life, but through her fault, they were back to square one.
Neither of them said anything, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.
At that moment, there was a knock on the door.
Tess Baker didn’t expect Bowen Carter to answer the door, and she sat up with some effort, her hands on the bed.
“Do what?” Bowen Carter asked sternly. She still had a wound on her backside, and she didn’t know that this would pull on it?
Tess Baker was startled by his shout and froze for three seconds before replying, “I’ll get it.”
She was just sitting up, and she wasn’t doing anything else, so why did he look so angry?
“I’ll go.” Bowen Carter pressed her back onto the bed with what appeared to be rough but was actually gentle movements, and after taking a few steps out of the room, turned back and barked out another, “Don’t move!”
“… Oh.” Tess Baker realized with hindsight that Bowen Carter was probably worried about her pulling at the wound, and she hooked her lips uncontrollably, a hint of long-forgotten sweetness flooding her heart.
Bowen Carter went to the door, opened it, and Master Si, Ben Si, and David Gate walked in carrying a fruit basket and a bunch of nourishment.
Tess Baker’s good mood was instantly gone when she saw them.
“Master Carter and Tess are so affectionate, you are so busy with your work and you are still here with Tess, have a heart.” Seeing that Bowen Carter was also here, a layer of bright light flooded under Ben Si’s eyes, it seemed that The Si Group’s problems would soon be solved!All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
David Gate’s face stank, his heart diaphragmatized. Tess Baker, who had killed her grandfather, was actually her sister-in-law, and the reality was really bloody!
“I came here when I heard that you were injured, don’t feel abrupt.” Elder Si looked at the cold-faced Tess Baker and held his feet up, “I have no intention of forcing you to return to the Si family, so don’t be nervous. By the way, how is your wound? Does it need to be tight?”
“It’s fine.” Tess Baker couldn’t really warm up to this grandfather who had come out of nowhere, not to mention the fact that the other party might have ulterior motives and want to use her.
Master Si smiled dryly, “It’s good to be fine, it’s good to be fine.”
Off to the side, David Gate grunted, woe is me, if only Tess Baker were dead!
