Chapter 291 Congratulations
“If President Kensley has time, you can also go to the hospital often to see Miss Kensley, lest she does something that will make Mr. Barnwell unhappy.” The words that should be said would end here. After Keith left with his people, Lachlan called Wendy in front of him again. “Did Alma do something to make Hank unhappy?” He had already made up his mind to sell this daughter to Hank. He no longer cared about Alma’s feelings. Right now, the most important thing was to make Hank change his mind. “Say something! Although the Barnwell group lost the auction this time, with Hank’s strength, he will soon make a comeback. At that time, I still have to ride the Barnwell group’s coattail. I absolutely can’t make any mistakes.” The more he said this, the more complicated Wendy’s expression became. After hesitating for a long time and refusing to say anything, in the end, under Lachlan’s urging, she said, “Alma wants to marry into Barnwell family’s family as soon as possible. Maybe it’s too urgent, which makes Hank feel annoyed.” This was obviously a trap that Alma had set up with her friends. In Lachlan’s ears, it was her fault. “From now on, you go to the hospital every day to watch over Alma until she safely gives birth to the child in her belly. If there is even the slightest mistake, you don’t have to come back.” Wendy had no time to explain, and Lachlan had already gone upstairs with a cold face.
She stood in the living room, took a deep breath, and snorted, “The father and daughter look like they want to use me as a target? With your abilities, how can you fight against Lyra and Hank?” Just based on the fact that Alma went to the Barnwell family and returned empty-handed, Wendy was sure that Lyra must have received her news. After some hesitation, she dialed Lyra’s number. But no one answered the phone.
It couldn’t be that Lyra didn’t know that she was the one who sent the message.
Wendy furrowed her brows and walked into her room.
Lyra slept for an entire day and night.
When she woke up, she felt that every bone in her body was about to fall apart. “You’re awake! I’ll go find a doctor,” the nurse said in surprise.
Lyra turned her head and looked at the situation in the ward. There was no one except her.
Very good, Hank was not here.
That also meant that she could hide that thing well first so that he would not find out. Lyra endured the pain and got out of bed. She stepped on the floor barefoot. A bone-piercing chill hit her. She took a cold breath. She pulled open the drawer at the bedside, wanting to put the jewelry box in. Unexpectedly, the door was suddenly pushed open. She hurriedly wanted to dodge, but it was too late. “You’re awake?” The man frowned.
He rushed over and saw her so carefully trying to hide that thing. His searching gaze fell on Lyra. In just an instant, Lyra shivered. She had seen that kind of angry gaze dozens or even hundreds of times, and she could not be more familiar with it.
Hank had always been proud and decisive, and he would not allow any deception or concealment.
If he found out that she had pretended to lose her memory, the consequences… “I’m afraid I’ll lose it. This is my mother’s relic,” Lyra said in a hoarse voice.
She did not explain further. Hank’s tightly knitted brows relaxed. He still wanted to say something, but when the doctors came to check on Lyra, he was pushed aside. “Mr. Barnwell, she has recovered very well. There should not be any hidden dangers.” The man nodded indifferently. “Then she.”
Just as he was about to ask, his phone rang again. It was Alma.
Lyra leaned against the head of the bed and slowly closed her eyes when she saw his reaction.
“The patient needs more rest now,” The doctor said and left with his people. Hank stood at the door. His phone kept ringing. Finally, he looked at Lyra with a complicated expression. “You rest first.”
Then, there was the sound of the door closing. Lyra opened her eyes, and her eyes were filled with a cold smile. She was not afraid of Hank coming to confront her now. She had a perfect idea. Not long after, Alma took the initiative to come to her, wearing a loose hospital gown that could not cover her bulging abdomen. That might be something that Lyra would never be able to possess.
