Marry You Like A Thief novel Chapter 26

As soon as Austin stepped in the office, he said, "Derrick, I have to ask you for a favor. It seems that you are not busy. That's good."

"What? Did I tell you I'm not busy?" Derrick was unhappy to hear that.

"You came here, and you've arrived pretty soon." Austin said indifferently with a smile on his face. He had something to ask Derrick for help, but Derrick's weakness was that it depended on his mood. Austin was really not sure if he had time or mood.

"Come on, just say what you want to say. Is it about the beautiful lady last time?" Derrick crooked his finger at him and winked at him.

"Come with me." Austin walked in front of Derrick and hinted him to follow him. Derrick shrugged helplessly and followed him. If he didn't go, he would be dragged by Austin to death.

In the hospital.

A nurse gently tucked Albert in the quilt. Seeing that he was still awake, she wondered why he was so abnormal today.

"Do you need me to call the doctor?" The nurse asked softly.

"No, thanks. I'm thinking about something now. If I stay in a daze for a while, everyone will be surprised. I'm really old..." Squinting slightly, Albert sighed.

He thought as long as Abby stayed by his side, she would force him to recover. Now the company had been running normally and he didn't need to extra energy to take care of it, but there were many small things.

"In fact, I envy you. No matter how I sigh or stay in a daze, no one will care about me. You should be content. You are so lucky to have such a thoughtful child as Vivian." The nurse said with a smile.

Kelly stood in front of the door and heard the conversation. She couldn't help but grab her bag tight. When did they become so intimate and even talk about life?

"I have wronged Vivian before. I don't know how painful her heart will be. I'm old and confused. I don't know any proper way to talk..." Albert sighed.

Kelly couldn't stand it anymore. She was afraid that Albert would talk about that bitch Vivian. She came here just to put in a good word for Riley, but as a result, she heard something she didn't want to hear in her life.

Then she pushed the door open and walked into the ward. "Honey." Kelly smiled and glanced at the nurse coldly. Then she said to Albert with a smile, "I made some porridge. Eat it while it's hot."

When Albert was about to stand up, the nurse went up to support him naturally. This dutiful action was considered a taboo in Kelly's eyes!

"Let me do it. You can go to do something else." Kelly interrupted the nurse impatiently and held Albert's arm. After the nurse left, she turned around and opened the lunch box. The smell was good, but Albert had no appetite.

"Honey, drink it." Kelly took a spoonful of rice soup and put it in front of Albert, indicating him to open his mouth and drink it.

"Forget it. I'll drink it later. I don't have any appetite now." Albert turned away his head.

Kelly's face was stiff, but she regained her composure the next second. She closed the lunch box and held Albert's hand, "How are you feeling recently? Are you feeling better? If you have nothing else to do, you can go out for a walk. Let me take you there."

"I just walked around outside. What are you doing here?" Albert's eyes slightly narrowed and his face was leaning against the pillow.

"What? Why can't I come to see you? Last time Riley came to see you, I know that you had a big fight with each other. You also know that Riley is still a naive girl. Don't take her words seriously."

Albert opened his eyes and stared at Kelly. He had never thought that this woman around him were good at acting. He couldn't tell whether Kelly's smile was sincere or hypocritical. For the first time, he felt a little scared, but he couldn't understand.

"How old is Riley? She was already married. Why was she still acting like a child? Do you still want to put in a good word for her? I'm really pissed off by her, but she didn't do anything but cried to you, did she?" Albert coughed.

"No..." Kelly patted him on the back. How could she explain? What was the real action? Would he want Riley to visit that bitch Vivian?

Albert would never yell at her like that before. Just as his daughter said, he was really obsessed with Vivian. How could he be so stupid? She had been his wife for many years!

Or was it because he had a nurse who looked a little like his dead ex-wife? Then he thought he could leave her and Riley. Well, the nursing worker even put in a good word for that bitch in front of Albert. Everything made sense!

"Honey, don't be angry. Don't be so mad at yourself. I mean, Riley still retained her former character. She argued with you because she couldn't stand your anger for a while. Now she has known that she was wrong. A few days ago..." Kelly kept explaining.

"She is crying to me, but she cares more that she doesn't have a surname of Pei, doesn't she?" Kelly carefully looked at Albert's face and found that his eyes were so sharp that they could kill her.

"She just cares about the same family name. She doesn't think about anything else. Now she should go to see Vivian. In fact, Riley has been doing the responsibility as an older sister, but she has never told us. She has been silently contacting Vivian."

"Even if she is laughed at and insulted by Vivian, I really feel sorry for her. About Vivian... I don't mean she is bad, but sometimes she is too mean..." Kelly wiped her tears and shook her head.

Albert didn't say anything. He also did something wrong, but what Riley had done was really annoying!

He waved his hand and said, "Forget it. I don't care about it anymore. It was my fault as well. Forget it. Don't mention it again. You have to tell Riley that she must be a good old sister."

"I know." Kelly smiled, with a flash of complacency in her eyes.
