“Wesley, once she’s married, will you really draw a line between you and her?” Cecilia asked onest question.
Wesley fell silent again.
Cecilia closed her eyes, unwilling to say anything more.
The car returned to Chaston Vi.
Wesley carried Cecilia inside, his movements gentle.
Anyone who saw it would have praised his sincerity.
Only Cecilia felt he was utterly hypocritical.
She simply pretended to be asleep.
Cecilia adjusted her mindset, eating and sleeping as she should. The only thing she did was visit No?h in the hospital.
Noah had been undergoing chemotherapy for a while, and his condition wasn’t good. He was listless all the time.
Cecilia often spent entire days at the hospital.
Fortunately, Wesley had already started the stem cell mobilization
process.
With thepany running nonstop and the stem cell mobilization for Noah, he was in poor/spirits, his face pale.
He fainted during a meeting and was taken to the hospital.

By the time Elijah got the news and told Cecilia, Wesley was already in a hospital room.
She rushed to the hospital.
At the door, she ran into Elijah, who had also hurried over.
Elijah was sweating profusely. “Mr. Carlton sent me out on an errand. and I only found out about this on my way back. Mrs. Carlton–no, Ms. Zamora, don’t worry. I asked the doctor, and it’s nothing serious.”
Cecilia felt a little relieved. “I know.”
As she spoke, she pushed open the door to the hospital room, her hand suddenly tightening on the doorknob.
Inside. Larissa was feeding Wesley water.
She was bent over, and Wesley was leaning against the headboard, the two of them very close.
Elijah hadn’t expected to see this scene and instinctively nced at Cecilia
But all he saw was her mocking expression and increasingly indifferent face.
“Mr. Carlton,” Elijah called out abruptly.
The two people in the room turned around at the same time and saw Elijah, and Cecilia standing beside him
Larissa straightened up, calmly setting down the cup in her hand.
Wesley propped himself up with his arm, sitting up a little straighter, and called softly, “Ci ”

Cecilia didn’t go in, saving coolly, “It seems I came at the wrong time. Sorry to disturb you.”
She turned to leave.
But Larissa suddenly raised her voice, sounding angry. “Cecilia, stop right there!”
Cecilia stopped, looking at Larissa with cold, clear eyes.
Larissa nced at Wesley, her eyes full of concern, then looked at Cecilia, her gaze now only filled with anger.
“Cecilia, Wes fainted. He fainted because of you.”
Wesley’s voice sank. “Larissa, that’s enough.”
Larissa’s eyes instantly reddened. “Why shouldn’t I say it? You’re busy every day, and you still have to do the stem cell mobilization for that child. And what about her? She still has to throw tantrums at you.”
Tears slid down her cheeks, all for Wesley’s sake.
“Wes, she’s cold–blooded. She has no heart.”
Cecilia just looked on coldly. “This ce isn’t big enough for three people. With such a good little sister here to take care of him, that’s enough.”
“Cecilia.” Wesley scolded in a low voice, then told Larissa to leave.
Larissa’s eyes were red. “Wes, how much longer are you going to keep hiding it? You’ve been unwell for a while now, but look at her–she doesn’t care at all.”
Cecilia really hadn’t been paying much attention to Wesleytely.

When he came home, she was already asleep; when he left, she hadn’t gotten up yet.
The two of them had barely seen each other face to face.
But so what?
Their rtionship was transactional from the very beginning.
“Larissa, that’s enough,” Wesley said again, his voice dropping.
Larissa choked back a sob. “I understand you want to keep it from her, but you still need someone to take care of you. I just handed you a ss of water, and she got angry. She doesn’t deserve your kindness.”
“Larissa.” Wesley’s tone was stern. “Get out.”
Larissa stomped her foot in grievance and ran out.
Elijah followed her out and closed the door.
Cecilia thought for a moment, then walked to the bedside and asked, “Is there anywhere else you feel ufortable?”
Wesley’s gentle expression gradually turned somber, shadows flickering across his face. “I’m fine.”
He exined, “Larissa was just concerned about mè, that’s why she came to the hospital. She can be harsh with her words, don’t take it to heart.”
Cecilia lowered her eyes. “You don’t need to exin. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going now
She turned to leave.
“Cecilia.” Wesley’s/chest tightened as he couldn’t help but ask, “You

rushed over here in such a hurry–was it because you were worried about me, or because you were afraid of dying Noah’s treatment?”
Cecilia herself couldn’t tell how much of her concern was for him.
