Second Marriage to Mr. Rich (Ned Fletcher) novel Chapter 6

Angeline frowned and tugged the scarf before covering her nose and mouth. She said in a muffled voice, “If it doesn’t affect the process, then I’d like to keep them on.” 

Sean had his hands in his pockets as he leaned against the doorframe, watching the nurse tending to Angeline. He frowned and looked at Angeline when he heard her say that. He said in a firm tone that left no room for argument, “Take off your scarf and jacket.” 

Angeline went silent for a while. Then, she slowly unzipped her jacket and untied the scarf around her neck. 

Just as the nurse got up to draw the curtains, Ned and Ingrid walked out of the opposite room after he was done being bandaged up. 

It was only for a fraction of a second, but Ned caught sight of the dark bruises on Angeline’s chin and neck. 

How could a slight push from him cause such serious injuries to her? 

However, the blue curtains got in the way. He couldn’t see anything past them. Ned looked at Sean’s figure and felt a sudden wave of fear washing over him. 

He recalled Angeline’s relationship with Sean. He also saw the look Sean gave him when he helped Angeline into his car. Ned knew that he had to explain things to Sean today, by hook or by crook. 

Even if Sean was just the adoptive son of the Lawsons in Krontos, he was now the main person in charge of Lawson Global. There were plenty of projects in Fletcher Corp. that still relied on Lawson Global’s help. 

Ned called out in a low voice, “Mr. Sean …” 

Sean turned around slowly when he heard his name being called. 

The bright hospital lights hanging overhead shone on Sean’s handsome face. He stood tall at six feet two and came across as unapproachable. He didn’t even need to speak to make the people around him feel oppressed. 

Ned frowned and started explaining himself. “I didn’t expect her to fall into the manmade pool.” 

Sean’s eyes were dark and deep. “When you were 16, you got sent to the hospital because you were trying to protect her. Now that you’re 26, you got sent back to the hospital because you were fighting with her for the sake of an outsider.” 

Ingrid knew that Sean was referring to her as the “outsider.” She shivered slightly.
