At the moment, Avery was lying on the bed, wanting to get up but afraid of pulling on her wound. As she was struggling with how to get down, she suddenly heard a group of girls outside making a commotion. The noise grew louder and louder, and she wondered why it was suddenly so noisy outside. Soon, the door was pushed open and Ethan strode in.
"Avery ,when someone tells you to go, you go. Even if they tell you to die, you'll obediently go die, won't you?"
The man's face was cold, and he spoke these terrifying words as soon as he entered the room.
"Ethan, Mr. Blackwood..." Aver didn't know what the man was referring to when she saw his ugly expression. She thought her sister had probably met him and maybe they had already discussed the divorce. Her heart tightened immediately.
"My sister told you about the divorce, but it wasn't my intention. Listen to me, I didn't want to divorce you. Don't take it seriously." Seeing the girl who couldn't even get out of bed without help, Ethan was slightly taken aback. He walked over to the bed and squinted at her as she struggled to turn her head to look at him.
In the next moment, he bent down and lifted her small body up. The position she was lying in was quickly turned into a domineering princess carry. The process of turning her over was careful and slow, and it didn't pull on the wound on her buttocks.
Avery was held in the man's arms, not knowing what he was going to do. She felt a little uneasy and asked, "Mr. Blackwood, where are you taking me?"
The man lowered his gaze and gave her a glance. Although his face was tense, he answered her question with a clear and powerful voice, "Let's go home." His tone was dominant and forceful, leaving no room for refusal.
Despite his intimidating appearance and cold touch, Avery didn't feel scared. Instead, a warm feeling flowed through her, as if she had known him before and had countless intimate contacts with him.
As Ethan carried her out of the 403 ward and entered the elevator, they encountered a group of infatuated nurses who were staring at him with shining eyes. Some even drooled at the sight of him.
Indeed, this man had a handsome face and a perfect figure, exuding an air of nobility and superiority that was irresistible. His demeanor and posture as he carried her were full of dominance.
This was her husband, who had only been married for a few days. If it weren't for the scars on the other half of his face, he would undoubtedly be the most perfect man in the whole city, no, the whole country.
Of course, Avery knew that if she were to remove the mask from his face at this moment, revealing the terrifying, withered tree-like scars, the nurses would surely scream and run away in fear. But it didn't matter, even if his face scared everyone else away, it wouldn't scare her away.
As they left, she unconsciously hooked her hands around the man's neck. On the first floor, Alexis was waiting by the elevator. When the doors opened, she saw Ethan carrying her sister.
The man's handsome face appeared in her line of sight, and Alexis quickly remembered the terrifying scene she had witnessed last night when she accidentally knocked off the mask on his face.
She stood still, not speaking at first, with a hint of red on her slightly swollen face as she thought about last night. Ethan also saw Alexis, but he was holding onto Avery and ignored Alexis. He strode out of the elevator, passed by Alexis ,and walked outside. Avery lowered her eyes, lost in thought, and didn't notice her sister. As she brushed past, Alexis suddenly came to her senses. She clenched the divorce agreement in her hand and hurried after them, saying, "Hey , Avery, you can't go with him. Have you forgotten how you got hurt? Listen to your sister's words..."
At this point, Ethan stopped in his tracks and turned around to sweep a cold glance at Alexis. "Miss. Wells, this is my family affair. Please don't interfere"
"She's my sister. How could I not care when your family is treating her like this?" Alexis looked at Ethan's half-exquisite face, her face tense.
Ethan raised an eyebrow and said in a low voice, "You can be rest assured that I will handle this matter when I go back. As for Avery, she is my wife. Even if she wants a divorce, she must be willing to do so herself. Even if she is willing, without my permission, she won't be able to get divorced!"
"Mr. Blackwood..."
"This afternoon, I will have someone send a lawyer's letter to your mansion. Miss. Wells, since you have so much free time, I suggest you think about how to help the Wells amily through this difficult time."
With that, Ethan quickly carried Avery away from the hospital. Alexis stood still, watching Ethan's back as he left. The man's towering figure gave off a sense of rejection, despite his imposing stature.
In the end, she put the divorce agreement back into her bag. She believed that her sister had been deceived by Ethan and couldn't see the situation clearly for a while, and was reluctant to divorce. While the family didn't care about her sister, as an older sister, she couldn't just sit idly by. The Blackwood family had a great reputation in the capital city, and their reputation was also well-known abroad. The Wells family couldn't afford to climb up to such a prestigious family, and the Blackwood family couldn't accept Avery becoming Ethan's wife. This marriage had to be ended, but it required some time and process.
Due to the injury on her buttocks, Avery was not suitable to sit. Therefore, after getting in the car, Ethan did not immediately put her down. He called out to Chad and asked him to drive. The car they drove today was an extended version, with a spacious rear compartment in addition to the front driver's seat. Ethan proceeded to open the spare cot and placed her on it in a prone position.
On the way back, Avery occasionally raised her eyebrows and secretly glanced at this man. Well, the half of his face exposed looked good, and his body temperature had returned to normal. It was probably due to the infusion last night. While smiling foolishly, Avery couldn't help but think of his defense of her in public at the birthday banquet, and lifted her lips. Although his half-face was scary, it was enough that he was good to her. However Avery didn't know that the man had already noticed her little movements. Although he had brought this woman back by his side, he remained tense throughout the journey. The slightly furrowed brows made him look not as relaxed as he seemed.
His newlywed wife was beaten by his most respected aunt.
She hid it from him, beating his woman just like two years ago...
Ethan's eyes were gloomy, and a hint of ferocity rose in the depths of his deep phoenix eyes.
