The Substitute Bride: Idiot Or Not? novel Chapter 26

Inside a VIP ward at the hospital, Zyon was playing around with his beautiful personal nurse.

“Open your mouth, Mr. Fairchild. Open up. It's time for your medicine,” the nurse uttered playfully.

“Say, don't you think your way of feeding me the medicine is a little too unprofessional, sexy? You shouldn't be using your hands. Instead, you should use—” As Zyon spoke, he lifted the nurse's chin.

His sentence was interrupted by a loud banging sound of the door opening. Two men in black suits and sunglasses stood at the entrance.

Upon seeing that, Zyon questioned in shock, “Who are you people? Why are you here?”

Before the men in black had the chance to answer, a tall, regal man stepped into the room.

“Xavier?” After that violent beating last time, Zyon would shake uncontrollably whenever he saw Xavier. “Why are you here?”

Xavier glanced at Zyon but didn't bother to acknowledge him.

The former undid a button on his suit and sat on the couch next to the bed.

The longer he stayed silent, the more fearful Zyon became.

Due to his cast, Zyon couldn't move his right hand easily, so he urged the nurse. “What are you staring for? Call the police quickly!”

“Okay!” She was shocked by the sudden development too and pulled out her phone from her bag.

Before she could unlock her phone, she was held down on the spot next to Xavier's foot.

The man was so intimidating that just sitting beside her silently terrified her. “I-I-I don't know anything. Please let me go.”

Ever since Xavier left Lagune Mansion, he had been feeling unstable. Currently, he still had enough patience to deal with the woman.

“Scram,” he spat coldly.

The moment she left, his patience was gone.

When the two bodyguards shut the door, he slowly stood, removed his watch, and unfastened his cufflinks.

Zyon's bones were already groaning in pain when he saw Xavier was preparing to beat him up. “W-What are you doing, Xavier? I've been staying in the hospital recently. I didn't do anything!”

“Hah,” Xavier sneered and stepped closer to the bed. “Are you taking me for a fool just because Scarface escaped without leaving any traces behind? I'm not as stupid as you think!”

He stretched his hand and tightened his grip on Zyon's neck. “You may not be able to step out of your bed because of your broken bones, but that doesn't mean you can't use your mouth to order other people to do your dirty work. You have some guts to keep messing with my people. It seems like I need to find a needle to sew your mouth shut.”

“N-No, don't do it, Xavier! I have no idea who this Scarface is! I think there's a misunderstanding here, Xavier.”

“A misunderstanding?” With an evil smile on his face, Xavier picked up the syringe Zyon was playing with earlier. “Then I guess it's also a misunderstanding that I'm sewing your mouth shut.”

Even when he was in peak condition, Zyon was no match for Xavier, much less when he was bedridden. There was nothing he could do to stop Xavier from tormenting him.

Right before Xavier was about to strike, a light cough was heard from behind him. “That's enough, Xavier. We're at a hospital right now. Don't go overboard.”
