Ethan covered his face and looked at Betty in astonishment, feeling a bit confused for a moment.
"Mom, did you make a mistake? You should hit him!" Ethan pointed at Frost."Shut up! I'm hitting you, you good-for-nothing!" Betty was breathing heavily, like a bellows.Frost hurried to support her, afraid that she might breathe too heavily."Aunt, please don't be angry. It's my fault, I shouldn't have hit my cousin!" "Frost, Aunt knows you. You've always been knowledgeable and reasonable. You wouldn't hit someone for no reason. It must be this jerk who did something wrong! What did you do wrong?" Betty pointed at Ethan, rebuking him sternly.Ethan felt guilty and tried to divert attention: "It's fine, Mom, you don't need to worry about us, brothers!" As he spoke, he winked at Frost and made a secret gesture.Frost lowered his head. Aunt's attitude toward Ethan had always been extreme - extreme doting and extreme discontent.He felt sorry foEarly the next morning, the first thing Frost did was to find Ethan and talk to him about Bianca.Despite having thought repeatedly about how to talk to his cousin, he still had no idea. Ethan was the nominal eldest grandson, but everyone knew that Frost was the true heir.Because he was not legitimate, Ethan had to constantly assert his higher status, his strength. Since he was little, he had treated Frost as his imaginary enemy, but it seemed like fate was mocking him. Regardless of academics or character, Ethan couldn't surpass Frost.Grandpa's clear favouritism only intensified Ethan's psychological imbalance. When Ethan started his business, he had enthusiastically sought Frost's advice, but his project was ruthlessly destroyed by Aunt. Since then, Ethan seemed like a changed person, becoming unrestrained and unwilling to be lonely. He liked to cause a stir, to make Grandpa, Aunt, Frost, and everyone notice and value him. Frost didn't like this cousin, but
In the lounge, the dining table had already been set up, and the exquisite dishes made it seem like a high-end restaurant rather than a hospital ward.Charlie thought that everyone might not have much of an appetite due to their concerns about Grandpa's condition, so he prepared light meals.Ethan's wound had already been taken care of. Just now, Grandpa embarrassed him in public, making him lose face, especially in front of Bianca and Georg, the two outsiders. He sat next to Betty, silent, and boredly toyed with his knife and fork.Maddy served appetizing soup to everyone one by one. When she reached Ethan, she whispered, "Men are more charming with scars, you know." Ethan knew she was comforting herself, so he smiled bitterly and prepared to dig in.Bianca, noticing Frost had been silent the whole time, said to him, "Don't worry. I won't leave first. I'll stay with Grandpa.""Can you? I thought you'd be eager to go back to the meatballs," Frost r
"I don't need this much, Auntie, she won't take it," Frost gently blocked Auntie's hand."Take it, although she is kind enough to compromise, Astor has wronged her, so this compensation is necessary!" Auntie insisted, bypassing Frost's hands and inserting the black card into his pocket."Ah, Ethan is disappointing! Unlike you, smart, ambitious, capable, and polite. If... Frost, if you were my son, how good would it be!""Auntie, really too much, she won't take it! What she wants is the tuition fee and Ethan's apology and assurance!" Frost refused again."Apology and assurance are required! But this, you must let her take it! Frost, we have to guard against her using this to blackmail us in the future. Only when she takes this 2 million, can we not be passive! Listen to Auntie, we must not be complacent, this is all for the consideration of our group."Frost had no choice but to accept it, but he was worried, on one hand, he was worr
"Looking for me?" Bianca sat up bewildered, not recognizing the well-dressed man at all.The only people she could think of with any connection to a suit were Lucas's bodyguard, the real estate agent she had been in contact with, and, of course, Astor..."I'll go have a look!" Bianca said, getting up and putting on a coat, heading towards the door. "Who are you looking for?"Standing in the corridor was a stranger in a smart suit and shades, his strong frame seeming out of place in the narrow hallway. His overly "high-end" mannerisms made it clear who had sent him.When the man in the suit saw Bianca, he swiftly produced an A4 paper. On it was an enlarged version of Bianca's ID photo. He held the paper next to Bianca's face, earnestly comparing the two before confirming."Miss Bianca, here are the things Frost promised me to deliver to you," the man in the suit handed over an exquisitely crafted little black box."Alright, thank you," Bianca's mind race
Thirty minutes later, the helicopter returned to the rooftop landing pad of Aurora Hospital. Frost opened the cabin door for Bianca and was about to step in to help her when he froze in place.Bianca's face was pale at the moment, and her eyes looked at him faintly, with a bewildered expression. For Frost, it was a genuine and helpless look, which made him feel deeply sorry for her."Are you feeling unwell? Is it an allergy attack?" Frost helped Bianca remove her headphones while observing her condition.Bianca pushed away Frost's hand and jumped down by herself, striding to the edge of the rooftop fence until the helicopter took off and disappeared into the distant sky. Frost just followed behind her without catching up, and Bianca suddenly turned back."Yes! My allergy has flared up again. This time it's not pollen allergy, it's money allergy! I can't afford it again, I've lost my house..." Bianca's eyes revealed a sense of loss, then turned vacant and powe
Seeing Frost dodge, Georg simply closed the office door, looking at Frost with a serious expression. Frost wanted to tease Georg, but he was suddenly pushed down onto the chair by Georg, who lifted his trouser legs without a word.Georg frowned as he pressed the bandaged wound with his hand. Frost's leg was throbbing faintly. As a surgeon, Frost was very clear about his condition: he completely forgot about the injury during the fight with Ethan. He took a step back to avoid Ethan's punch, but he couldn't evade the dumbbell that Ethan knocked over, which hit the injured area, causing intense pain.Georg sighed and glanced at Frost, who immediately lowered his head. As the pampered third-generation heir of a wealthy family and a scholarly achiever who had always dominated his peers, Frost was only afraid of Georg's gaze.Because Georg was the only person in the entire institution who could perform surgeries faster than him. Moreover, Georg wasn't a genius, but th
At this moment, Bianca struggled out of Frost's embrace, covering her face and stumbling as she tried to leave.She couldn't resist scratching at her neck and chest, letting out a painful groan as if she was suffocating."Bianca!"Frost grabbed her, checking her condition. He forcibly raised her hands above her head and held onto her shoulders. "Your allergy is acting up. Don't scratch, it will worsen the symptoms!""Don't... don't help me!"With her hands held above her head, Bianca struggled fiercely to free herself, but she couldn't. She breathed rapidly, uncontrollable tears rolling down her eyes."We need to go to the hospital right away. Don't scratch, you must listen to me!"Frost said as he lifted Bianca. The girl with the slanted bangs came forward, handing a bottle to Frost."What is this?" Frost stared at the girl, his eyes filled with a sharp and icy coldness.At this moment, the man in front of
Next to the hospital's backyard is Skyville Park, the largest park in Skyville, with a huge lawn, and one of Skyville's favorite leisure spots.Half an hour earlier than the agreed time, Bianca arrived at the large lawn of Skyville Park and carefully selected a quiet and flat place, leaning against a long iron fence on one side, which was perfect for hanging everyone's backpacks and clothes.Bianca put her things in place and prepared herself first, and then she noticed a towering sign above the fence, indicating Aurora Hospital.The environment of Frost's Hospital is really good, almost integrated with the park. Bianca thought while doing stretches.A group of energetic girls in yoga suits chattered and walked over, seemingly high school students.Bianca warmly greeted the girls, "Are you here for the yoga class? Are you all high school students?"It's strange, these young girls had no smiles on their faces. They looked Bianca up and down with di
