Chapter 435: Know Your Place

Suddenly, all anger in Edie disappeared. Why get so caught up with it when driving Marina away from Stuart’s heart is basically impossible?

The reason he rescued Hicks was simple, he didn’t want anyone to die like Marina, she could understand. I already have so much, why make life hard for myself? I believe Stuart will not betray me," She thought.

She glared at him intentionally and said, "Then don’t do anything I don’t like in the future, ok?"

"I won’t. You will be my wife forever. No one could replace you in my heart," He slowly said as if making a prudent promise.

"Does it hurt?" Seeing blood leaking through his wound, Edie couldn’t help but complain, "Why didn’t you push me away? Go upstairs with me; I’ll dress the wound for you."

"You’re not angry anymore?"

"I am! Humph!"

"Then, let the wound stay there to remind me of my wrong deed," Stuart said seriously.

"..." She didn’t know what to say for a second, "Fine, I’m not angry anymore, how shameless, threatening me with your own health!"

"Are you coming with me to the hospital tomorrow, then?" Stuart smiled and asked softly.

"Can I not go? I don’t want to see her," She said sulkily.

"Sure, then I’ll just go straight to sleep, the temperature has been pretty high lately, I’ll just let my wound get infected and rotten..."

"Ok! I’ll go!" She stopped Stuart from saying anything else.

Hearing this, he hugged Edie once more and curved his mouth into a smile, but... his eyes slowly got colder.

Tomorrow, he’ll finish everything off.

The next day, Edie slept in on purpose, saying that she was tired and didn’t want to get out of bed.

Stuart said nothing and just massaged Edie’s arms and legs until she fell asleep again.

By the next time she woke up, it was already twelve in the noon, good, lunchtime!

Also, since Stuart didn’t mention going to the hospital at all, Edie was pleased. No matter what Stuart’s intention was in taking her to the hospital, Edie didn’t want to go. Whenever she had recalled that Hicks looked exactly like Marina, and when Stuart saw Hicks, it would remind him of Marina, she would feel extremely uncomfortable.

After lunch, Stuart brought over her sunscreen, and an anti-UV outfit bent down and started putting sunscreen on for her. The servants were used to such scenes, at a time like this, if they went over to disrupt them, Stuart would go mad.

"What are you doing?" Edie asked with confusion.

"Come with me to the hospital," Stuart replied without looking up.

"It’s already afternoon, and maybe she’s napping after lunch, she’s a patient, we shouldn’t disturb her!" Edie said.

"Cecil, come here." Stuart didn’t reply to her but called Cecil instead.

Cecil had beef jerky in his hand, and he was chewing on it with his sharp white teeth.

"What’s the matter?"

That teeth... and the teeth mark on Stuart’s shoulder...

"Nothing, go back to your snacks, you are only allowed to have one pack, no more than one!" Edie drove Cecil away in a hurry.

"Are you coming with me?" Stuart smiled as if he had everything under control.

Edie wilted at once, and it was her own fault, why did she leave him something to hold against her.

"Do you think I can say no?"

"No."

After everything was ready, he held her hand and left the door, and the car was already waiting outside. Edie signed, she could only play it by ear.

They finally arrived at the hospital. Hicks Day was in a VIP ward, which was on the upper floor and very quiet. When they were just about to arrive at the ward, Edie’s stomach started hurting all of a sudden, she quickly covered her stomach and said with her hand waving, "Oh no, my stomach is hurting so badly, I have to go to the bathroom."

"Are you ok? I’ll go get the doctor for you." Stuart winced immediately.

"No, no. I just want to go to the bathroom, don’t worry about me, you can go in first, I’ll be back shortly after."

A complicated emotion flashed across Stuart’s eyes, "Ok, I’ll wait for you."

Stuart took Edie to the bathroom first and then went back to Hicks’ ward. He wanted to speak to Hicks first, to prevent her from saying inappropriate things to upset Edie. He pushed the doors and notified the woman inside.

Saying Stuart, Hicks’ pale face blushed immediately with joy, as if seeing him would take away all her pain. She got out of bed in a hurry, but because she was weak, she collapsed the moment her feet landed on the ground. Thanks to Stuart’s short reflection time, he grabbed her by the wrist before she collapsed.

He helped her back to her bed, and Hicks said embarrassingly, "I’m Sorry Stu, I’m too weak..."

"You should call me Mr. Yates."

Before she could finish her sentence, Stuart interrupted her, and his words were cold and distant. He was just holding her wrists, and he was just before her bed, but... why did he give her such a distant feeling?

"Stu..." She called his name uncontrollably but received a wince as a reply.

The next second, he took one step back, and elongated their distance, "I think my relationship with Miss Day is not close enough for you to call me by my nickname, and..."

He deliberately paused for a second to make his next sentence sound more harsh and severe, "Know your place."

Hicks heard coldness in his words and suddenly realized Stuart didn’t trust her.

"You... you still don’t believe that I am Marina Daisy?"

"Do you think I’ll believe you?" Stuart sneered.

When he and Edie returned to England, she was abducted to England. How could there be such a coincidence in this world?

He knew someone was behind all this, and he would never have cared about this woman’s life or death if it hadn’t been for the sake of this face.
