Chapter 63 What Do You Want?
The woman in bed had a similar face to Faye.
The difference was Faye had a cold temperament while Carlotta looked tenderer.
Faye walked into the ward, followed by Colin.
A look of suspicion flashed across Carlotta's face when she saw Colin. She cast a speculative look at Faye.
Faye didn't try to hide Colin's identity from her and said directly, "This is Colin Farrell."
"Colin Farrell? The Farrells?" Carlotta muttered with a twitch at the corner of her mouth.
Faye looked back at Colin and said, "This is my aunt, Carlotta."
Before Colin could say hi, Carlotta flung a kettle filled with hot water at him.
Luckily, Colin dodged it in time, and the kettle broke at his feet on the ground. The water flowed on the floor, still steaming hot.
Faye winced. "Auntie..."
Carlotta sat propped up in the bed by pillows, trembling in rage, and pointed her finger at Colin, crying, "Get him out of here! I don't want to see any one of the Farrells!"
"Auntie, but Colin came to..." Faye explained.
"Faye, don't make your aunt angry. I'll go out and wait for you," Colin cut in.
Colin made Carlotta a bow and then walked out of the ward.
Colin replied it with a courteous, gentlemanly gesture, which made Faye feel guilty.
She didn't like being wronged by others, nor did she like to let others feel hurt.
But Colin had been hurt because of her.
After a long while, Carlotta cooled herself down and then questioned Faye in disappointment, "Faye, don't you remember what the Farrells have done to your parents? Have you forgotten how your parents died?"
Faye pursed her lips, taking a deep breath. "I do remember."
"Then how could you bring him here?" Carlotta continued to question.
Faye couldn't tell her the reason, because she was afraid that Carlotta wouldn't refuse the treatment from Jadon.
Carlotta's eyes fixed on Faye's face. "Have you fallen
in love with him?"
Carlotta knew Faye had married Colin for a certain reason, but Faye didn't tell her the complicated details.
"No," Faye replied flatly.
"Then why is he here?" Faye asked with disbelief.
Faye went out of the door to call a nurse to clean up the mess on the ground, and turned to Carlotta. "Because the most dangerous place is just the safest one. Colin is an illegitimate son of the Farrells. He doesn't know anything about my parents' death."
"So what does that mean?" Carlotta was a bit confused.
"After you recover, you can come to live with me. You are my aunt. As my nominal husband, he will certainly protect you. Anyway, he doesn't know about my parents."
However, what Faye had said was only half-truth.
Faye did want to let Colin protect Carlotta but she didn't tell Carlotta that Colin actually knew about her parents.
Faye had advantaged Mdam Farrell's plot one evening and slept with Colin so that she could get protection from Colin.
