"Avery, you are so stubborn. Why don't you listen to your sister?" Seeing that Avery was determined to stay, Alexis was a little angry, looking like she was frustrated.
"If you don't divorce him, what if he hits you again in the future? I'm only saying this because I care for you . Please listen to your sister's words. Sister doesn't want you to have any more accidents."
"Sis, I know you are doing this for my own good, but the injuries on my body really weren't caused by Mr. Blackwood"
How could Ethan, who was so protective of her, possibly hit her?
Alexis still didn't buy it.
"Okay, if it wasn't him who hit you, then tell me, how did you get those injuries on your body?"
Avery's incident happened after she went back with Ethan. Alexis immediately assumed that it was him who did it.
Avery didn't want to tell the truth, because she didn't want her sister to misunderstand Ethan even more. So she had to tell her what happened after she left the old mansion last night.
After telling the whole story, she weakly said, "Sis, now you know, right? This has nothing to do with Mr. Blackwood. He didn't hit me. When I left with his aunt, he was still unconscious in bed. He really didn't hit me, really."
"Is that true? You're not lying to your me?" "It's true. Since he could speak up for me in front of so many people, why would he hit me?"
At this point, Alexis finally believed Avery's words and believed that the injuries on her sister's body were really not caused by Ethan.
But...
"Avery,even if he didn't hit you, it was his aunt who did it." Alexis was still extremely worried. "You've only been married for a few days, and his aunt treated you like this, almost killing you. What about next time? What if she doesn't send you back home, but throws you somewhere else? Will you still be alive?"
"Staying by Mr. Blackwood's side, you will eventually lose your life. Here's what we'll do. I'll call him now and ask him to come to the hospital. I've already drafted an agreement for you two, and I'll print it out now."
Alexis was also determined to help her sister get out of this loveless marriage.
Without giving any chance for Avery to speak, she left the hospital room.
Avery called out after her sister several times, but couldn't get her back.
She didn't bring her phone when she left last night, and she couldn't move around freely to contact anyone.
The thought of her sister already drafting the agreement and preparing for Ethan to come made Avery anxious and scared. She didn't mind getting a divorce, but she was afraid that if her sister mentioned it, the Wells family would be implicated.
If the Wells family was ruined because of her, then she would be the culprit.
In the future, how could she face her grandparents?
...
Blackwood Villa.
When Ethan opened his eyes, it was already eight o'clock in the morning.
After two bottles of intravenous drip last night, he had no major problems except for a slight headache when he got out of bed.
After washing and dressing, he went downstairs and walked around but didn't see Avery, Gu Hansheng frowned and asked Butler Qin .
"Where is Avery ?Why didn't I see her come out?"
"Sir." Butler Qin walked up and respectfully lowered his head, glancing at the half of Ethan's handsome face that was exposed.
He didn't want to tell the truth, but he didn't want to lie either.
"Yesterday evening, your aunt came to the house and blamed Miss .Wells for drugging you. She took her away."
"When did it happen?"
Hearing this, Ethan suddenly raised his head, his eyes as sharp as a hawk staring at Qin's face, and he spoke sternly.
"I was unconscious last night, and she took her away when she came to say she was taking her away. Qin , I trust you so much, why didn't you stop her?"
Butler Qin hurriedly explained, "I'm sorry, sir. The third miss is your aunt, the elder you've always respected since childhood. I dare not stop her."
At the Blackwood family, everyone knew how much Ethan respected his aunt. Even the patriarch of the Blackwood family was not as highly regardeded in Ethan's heart as Lena Blackwood. As a butler, how could Qin dare to stop her?
"Damn it..." Ethan had just sat down for less than two minutes and had not even had breakfast yet when he quickly stood up again. He walked out of the dining room with a dark face and took out his phone to make a call.
Before he could dial, he saw an unfamiliar number appear on the screen.
He instinctively wanted to reject the call, but his mind was filled with the ancestral hall of the Blackwood family, where the wooden tablets of the ancestors were placed. After his aunt brought Avery back, she would definitely make her go to the ancestral hall for punishment. His hand trembled and he pressed the answer button.
Before he could speak, a woman's calm request came from the other end.
"Mr. Blackwood, I'm Avery's sister. Last night, your aunt beat up my Little sister so badly that she almost died..."
As expected!
Ethan's eyes darkened, and he said in a deep voice, "Where is she now? Is she at the Wells family? I'll come over right away."
On the other end, Alexis heard the man's forceful voice and was stunned for a moment. She quickly spoke before he hung up the phone, "My sister is now at the People's Hospital. Come over now, and we can discuss your divorce with my sister. The Blackwood family's money, our family won't take a single penny..."
The call ended with a busy tone before she could finish her sentence. Alexis felt annoyed, but she couldn't do anything about the powerful person on the other end of the line. She had to wait at the hospital entrance for Ethan to arrive, thinking about how to make him sign the divorce agreement without letting her sister meet him.
Twenty minutes later, Ethan arrived at the hospital in person. In the crowd, Alexis saw a tall and handsome man walking in from outside. She walked up to him with the agreement in her hand, intending to talk to him about the divorce in private. However, the man didn't even spare her a glance and walked past her with a gloomy face, saying, "My marriage with Avery is none of your business. Move aside!" "Hey, Mr. Blackwood, you..." Alexis wanted to say something, but she saw the man turn his head and stare at her with sharp eyes.
"Tell me, which floor and room is my wife in?" he asked.
"Fourth floor, room 403..." Alexis was speechless, her words blocked by the man's piercing gaze. Looking at his exquisite and handsome face, Alexis couldn't help blushing, thinking of what had happened between them in the bedroom at the banquet yesterday. By the time she shook her head and reacted, the man had already disappeared from her sight.
...
Ethan was too eye-catching. His tall and slender figure, like that of a supermodel, quickly caused a frenzy among the female staff at the hospital. With half of his face covered by a mask, he added a mysterious aura to his already charming appearance. The young female nurses couldn't help but scream in excitement when they saw him enter the elevator. "Wow, who is he? He's so handsome!"
"He wears a mask, so unique. I wish he could be my boyfriend..."
"Ah, he went into Room 403. Isn't that where Miss. Avery from the Wells family is?"
"..."
Room 403.
