Ariel smacked her lips and looked up at Rex with large glittering eyes, “Can you not go?”
“No” Rex replied with a sentence.
“Fine, you won I give up” Rex frowned slightly; he quite liked to see Ariel’s defeated appearance, as he found it adorable.
They arrived at the hospital together. Unfortunately, when they opened the door, they saw Timothy Ann sitting beside the sickbed holding a flower. Ariel clenched her jaw at the sight that greeted her.
She looked at Rex and realized the reason why Rex insisted on following her to visit her Aunt.
Her heart sank as she saw Timothy Ann looking sullen. Rex could feel the tension in the air; Timothy Ann looked up at Joana Emery’s with bloodshot eyes, his voice barely above a whisper.
“Well, I have just found out the hospital where your Aunt was” he said while chewing the inside of his mouth.
However, the vein pulsing on Joana Emery’s neck didn’t escape Rex’s sharp eyes.
“Ariel and Rex, you two should come and sit by my side” Joana said happily, looking at the smile on her aunt’s face. Ariel felt her appearance was far better than before.
“Aunt, my wife and I bought the tea you said you like to drink”. Pius walked up and carried a carton of one particular brand of tea.
“There’s no need to spend so much money, you’ve already spent this much on my treatment. What else can I ask for? I’m embarrassed that you have to spend so much money”
“What’s there to be embarrassed about, you’re my in-law” Rex wheeled himself over, collected the flower in Timothy Ann’s hand and trashed it. “My wife is allergic to this type of flower” she was? Ariel sneezed twice to confirm Rex’s words. Of course, she would never let go of the opportunity presented to her.
“Aunty, sorry my wife has been busy with the company issues, now that the Anderson family invested a lot of money in one particular company where the president mismanaged funds. My wife has to personally supervise the company what an irresponsible President”, Rex said, each word laced with mockery.
Timothy understands Rex Anderson’s words and attitude. He won’t dare bully the women.
He said in a low voice “Ariel, early this morning I want to see if your aunt is better. I’ll take my leave now”
Timothy Ann stormed out of the hospital. And Ariel Ann followed suit.
After he left, Joana Emery looked at Rex Anderson. “Did Ariel make any deal concerning my treatment with Timothy Ann?”
“Aunt Ariel is not stupid to do something like that her father might have troubled her, but she will never do something like that
“All of this is all because of me. If I had not involved myself in that matter, my Ariel would have been a carefree child, it’s all my fault” A race of curiosity flashed through Rex’s face under the mask.
What are you all hiding?
“Aunty, Ariel is no longer a child, she can now handle her own matters. Don’t stress yourself about it” Joana Emery’s sigh
“How can I not worry about it? Well, by the time you two start having children you’ll know how I feel knowing Timothy Ann, alongside his mistress, is after her.”
Rex finds her words strange, but chooses not to dwell on them. Joana’s eyes squeezed shut.
“You’re by Ariel’s side now and seeing how you’ve been good to her, I’m more relieved”, Rex smiled “Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of Ariel.”
I’ll definitely make everyone in the Ann family wish they were dead, no one of will escape the pain.
Joana glanced at Rex’s lower body, which was covered in a blanket. “It’s such a pity that you have to spend the rest of your day sitting in a wheelchair. What a pity that someone as kind as you have to fall prey of such incidence” Rex frowned as her words seemed to hint at something.
“Is there really no way to get treatment?”
“The doctors said I’ll stand up one day, it’s nothing though” Rex Anderson smiled bitterly. Why would he need a doctor? Sitting on that wheelchair was just a disguise.
None of Fidelis and any of Ann family members will he let go.
None of the family members are made of good stuff, as for Ariel her punishment has already begun. He would torment her so much with the man that night.
“My wife and I sex life is quite good, Aunty, we’ll soon give you a little pumpkin” Rex said out of the blue.
“Why are you spending so much money on Joana when you could have put it in the company?” Timothy Ann didn’t need to beat around the bush when he was with Ariel Ann alone.
Ariel also had no intention of exchanging pleasantries with him.
“Timothy Ann, where I put money is not your business”
“The Ann family is going to close down soon, the danger of the company is increasing daily”. Ariel rolled her eyes.
“It’s obvious you’ve developed amnesia to not remember that Anderson’s family had invested a large sum of money in the company. The Ann situation is actually not as serious as you portrayed it. Also, I had my own plan, so I don’t need you to lecture me on my mother’s company.”
Your mother’s company, “Ariel Ann” Timothy Ann called out to her anxiously, as he, broke in cold sweat.
“Don’t go too far, the company belongs to me now. I’ve already done what you told me to do, yet you keep giving me more conditions.”
Timothy Ann, I didn’t come here to find you, so I’m not going to stay here with you. A word of advice”. She paused and looked at her father.
“If you cannot afford to find a doctor, talk to me. I’ll get one for you” she said, each word with a hint of sarcasm.
“Yo….” She turned on her heels before her father could finish his words. Timothy Ann’s face darkened as he stared at her back.
