Chapter 1873: Talking About This with Him?
Two days later, at St. Maria Hospital.
In the advanced VIP ward.
The morning sunlight seeped through the gaps in the curtains, dazzling with a golden hue that was
slightly harsh on the eyes. It was summer, and the chirping of insects and the clear bird calls
overlapped in waves.
Felix opened his eyes, his dry eyes feeling heavy. He seemed a bit tired, as if he had slept for a long
time. The pure white surroundings momentarily confused him, not knowing where he was.
He turned his head to look at the clock on the bedside table and was taken aback for a moment. It had
been two days since his last impression.
He finally remembered what happened that day. Vicki and Seren had nearly died together, and Cloud
ultimately killed Seren. Then, when he and Vicki left, he remembered that he seemed to have lost
consciousness.
So, he was in the hospital now?
No, that's not right. He remembered everything now. He had been knocked out by Vicki. That woman
almost took the child with her to die, all for the sake of protecting him. It was unbelievable, she had
literally knocked him out.
Even now, thinking back, he still felt angry.
Felix moved his body and felt soreness in his shoulder. He turned his head to the other side and saw
that Vicki was also in the room. She was lying on the edge of the bed, seemingly asleep. No wonder he
had felt something soft next to him earlier; she had been in the room with him all along.
At this moment, the sunlight shone on her, making her originally wheat-colored skin glisten like honey.
Her thick black eyelashes trembled gently, and her sensual and full lips made one unable to resist the
urge to kiss them.
Felix looked at Vicki tenderly, his eyes filled with deep affection.
Luckily, she was alright. Luckily, everything was over.
Recalling the thrilling scene from before, he felt his heart still pounding in his chest. He reached out his
hand, intending to touch her hair.
Vicki suddenly woke up, as she was a light sleeper and any movement would make her alert. She lifted
her head and saw Felix staring at her. She sat up and said, "Why didn't you call me when you woke
up?"
Felix's hand didn't touch her hair; it hung in the air. He wanted to reach for her hand instead.
But Vicki suddenly stood up and walked towards the door. She opened it and shouted in the corridor,
"Nurse, the patient is awake!"
Felix "..."
His hand remained suspended in the air, unable to touch her, only feeling a sense of loneliness that
made him feel very displeased.
He had been unconscious for two days, and now that he had finally woken up, she didn't show any
excitement or embrace him. Instead, she immediately went to call the nurse. This woman... was not
gentle at all.
Vicki returned to Felix's bedside.
Felix said irritably, "There's a call button on the bedside table. Just press it, and the nurse will come.
There's no need to run out to the corridor and shout."
Vicki glanced at Felix and said, "Seems like it. I didn't think of it. I'm used to shouting."
Felix "..."
He deliberately cleared his throat and said, "I was unconscious for two days? Have you been here the
whole time?"
"No, how could I? There are a lot of things to take care of at home. I just came at 7 am in the morning
and when I saw you weren't awake, I took a nap," Vicki replied, sitting back down at his bedside. Just
then, she noticed her phone screen lighting up.
Someone had sent her a message, so she picked up her phone to reply.
Felix felt even more displeased. He had been unconscious for two days, and she was only concerned
with other things. Until now, she hadn't even asked if he was okay? As soon as she saw someone
messaging her, she immediately wanted to reply. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Feeling angry, Felix couldn't help but ask, "Don't you even want to know how I'm feeling now?"
Just as Vicki finished replying to the message, she looked up, surprised, and said, "Do I need to ask? If
you woke up, then of course you're fine."
Felix "..."
"Oh, right. During the two days you were unconscious, I've almost finished dealing with the Saunders
family's matters. The Warner residence was partially damaged, so I plan to renovate it. For now,
Reese, Carlo, Bride, Westbrook, and the others have been temporarily relocated to a villa complex
provided by Mr. Warner. It's not far from the original Saunders family. They've all been moved in
yesterday, and they're all settled now. Johnie didn't want tostay, so I let him go with him. As for the
Hilton branch, they know Seren is dead, and all those who were involved with him escaped abroad that
same night. I don't bother chasing after them; they can't stir up any more trouble. As for the
miscellaneous group Seren had gathered before, Mr. Ball is handling them. Those who are willing to
follow Mr. Ball can stay, and those who don't want to will be disbanded," Vicki paused. She had also
arranged for her subordinate, who had helped her conceal her pregnancy, to settle down under Mr.
Ball's guidance, with a decent position. She was a person who valued loyalty, and she wouldn't mistreat
anyone who had helped her. But she didn't need to go into detail about these matters with Felix.
So, she continued, "The trickiest issue is Westbrook's identity. He was also frightened that day, and
until now, no one has dared to tell him that Fox is dead. Westbrook is not Reese's biological child, and
Reese certainly resents him and insists on sending Westbrook to an orphanage. I don't think that's
appropriate."
She knew very well what kind of place an orphanage was-a social melting pot. Westbrook had grown
up in luxury, indulged and spoiled. If he suddenly ended up in an orphanage, his life would be ruined,
and he would become nothing more than a social outcast.
"Felix, regardless of what kind of people Seren and Fox were, the child is innocent. A child is born like
a blank canvas, and the environment they grow up in, who they follow, and the education they receive
all have a significant impact on their future. Westbrook has been more sensible recently and hasn't
caused any trouble at home. Especially these past two days, he has been exceptionally well-behaved.
He even helped with the move and was busy taking care of things alongside Bride, calling her sister.
Even if Westbrook is not related to you by blood, he is Bride's own brother, born of the same mother.
Although I hate Seren to the core, I won't let my resentment affect the child. So I've thought about it
and can't send Westbrook to an orphanage, nor can I send him back to the Hilton branch or have him
adopted by someone else. Otherwise, let him continue staying with the Saunders family. Talk to Reese
properly someday, after all these years of caring for him, they still have some affection for each other."
After Vicki finished speaking, she noticed that Felix had been staring at her with a stiff expression on
his face.
"What? Do you have any objections to my arrangements?"
"Is that all?" Felix asked with a grimace on his face.
Vicki frowned and said, "More or less. Let me think if there's anything else to add."
More to add?!! Felix's face grew even darker. He had been unconscious for two days, and now that he
had woken up, she wanted to talk about these things with him? Discussing work matters as if it were
nothing!!
