Chapter 94 Rich Hot And Infertile Husband (Or Maybe Not)

• Liam said indifferently. “It’s just a minor injury. I didn’t even plan on letting you guys know in the first place.” Nicolas had taken a picture of Liam lying in the hospital bed when he was asleep and sent it to their group of friends. But it got sent to a larger group by accident, and someone screenshot it and sent it to another group where Kaylee saw it. Skyler wasn’t happy, “Seven stitches, and you call this a minor injury?” Afraid they’d start arguing, Nicolas quickly stepped in, “Why don’t we go back to the room first and talk there? Also, there’s a dead body here; we should show some respect for the deceased” It really wasn’t the place for chitchat. Liam glanced at Celeste, who was still kneeling, and said, “How long are you planning to kneel?” She didn’t want to kneell Her knees hurt! Kaylee said impatiently, “Ugh, so embarrassing! You didn’t even recognize him and thought he was dead, and even knelt down. How much do you want my brother to be in trouble?” Shawn explained for her, “It’s just that Celeste was too worried. She thought something happened to Liam and was all freaked out.” As Kaylee was about to say something else, Skyler interrupted her, “Let’s head back to the room first and talk about it later.” With that, she stopped nagging.
• Just as Kaylee was about to support Liam, he avoided her hand and walked up to Celeste, extending his uninjured hand. Celeste followed his fingers with her eyes, looking up Aside from his injured hand, Liam was in good shape and didn’t look as close to death as Nicolas had described. But as soon as she thought about how his arm needed seven stitches because of her, guilt began to bubble up inside her again. From Liam’s perspective, Celeste’s eyes were red, tears still hanging in the corners, her nose was also red, making her look absolutely pitiful and stirring feelings inside him. *Planning on sticking around for the whole vigil before you leave?” As soon as Liam opened his mouth, most of the quilt in Celeste’s heart faded away She thought angrily, Liam must have been beaten up because he was so good at making sarcastic remarks, and it had nothing to do with her! Liam’s hospital bed was surrounded by Skyler, Kaylee, and Shawn, leaving Celeste with no room to breathe. Nicolas said, “Kaylee, go get some water. Your brother hasn’t taken his medicine yet.” Kaylee frowned and said, “Isn’t there someone else standing there?” “Hey, you-” Before Nicolas could say anything else, Celeste took the cup and said indifferently.
• “I’ll go.” With these people around, Celeste didn’t want to stay either. Perfect timing. As soon as she closed the door, she heard Skyler asking, “What happened last night?” “Nothing much,” Liam replied briefly. “Just bumped into a few troublemakers while drinking, and a conflict started.” “What kind of conflict results in someone getting injured like this? Where’s the person who hurt you now?” “Mom, I can handle this on my own. Don’t worry about it.” Skyler was unhappy. “How can I not worry? Look at the state you’re in! I didn’t even find out about your accident until this afternoon. If someone was taking care of you and I could feel reassured, that would be fine. But you were alone in the hospital all night with no one to even bring you water or food. How am I supposed to feel at ease?” Celeste pursed her lips. Clearly, this was meant as a criticism towards her. As a wife, was it right that she didn’t know anything when her husband had an accident? Then, she heard Liam saying, “It’s my fault for not telling her. She’s afraid of blood and would cry if she saw it, which makes me feel uncomfortable.” Celeste’s mood suddenly improved a little. Holding the cup, she went to the coffee room. “You’re bothered by that? Haven’t you thought about how your grandmother would feel seeing you like this? Or how I feel?” “Bro, seriously, you’re still defending her! If she cared about you, she would’ve been at the hospital by now! Liam frowned and said, “Don’t make this situation any worse!* Kaylee shrank back, while Skyler questioned, “What’s wrong with what Kaylee said? You’re spoiling her too much!” Shawn added, “Liam, my daughter has been pampered since childhood, so it’s natural that she sometimes goes too far. Your mom is right. You should discipline her a bit, not spoil her. You’re married now, you can’t let her be so careless.
