Chapter 176 Mr. Collins Was hospitalized
When she got downstairs, she saw his father sitting on the sofa, waiting for her.
Kristen went downstairs and greeted, “Uncle Collins.”
Mr. Collins frowned and looked at her with impatience. “You are so scheming that even this villa is owned by you.”
Kristen was taken aback. When did she get to own this villa?
“Uncle Collins, are you mistaken?”
“There’s no need to argue with me. I can give you this villa as long as you leave Ethan. Otherwise, you won’t get anything.”
Kristen looked at him calmly and said, “Uncle Collins, you believe that I am a vain woman. Why don’t you persuade Ethan, but try to persuade me again and again?”
Mr. Collins’ father was so angry that he didn’t say anything. He knew his son well. If he could persuade his son, he wouldn’t have wasted his time here.
“Uncle Collins, I don’t know what good it will do for you to marry into the Winter Family, but I can tell you clearly that Ethan is not a fool and he is not someone you can bully as you wish. If you make use of him and threaten him again and again, you will lose your son sooner or later.”
Every time she thought of Ethan’s disappointed expression whenever he brought up his family, Kristen felt angry.
Mr. Collins slammed the table. “This is the family business… There’s no need for an outsider like you to point fingers.”
Kristen corrected him coldly, “His name is Ethan, his surname is Wharton, not Collins.”
Her father was speechless. The surname had always been a knot in his heart.
Mr. Collins’ expression suddenly turned ugly. He clutched his chest and fell backward.
“Uncle Collins?”
Kristen panicked. How could she collapse so easily?
Aunt Kate had been listening. When she heard Kristen’s shout, she hurried out and said, “Miss Healey, don’t be afraid. I’ll call 120 right away.”
As she spoke, she quickly went to one side and dialed a number. However, the doorbell rang.
At a time like this, who would add to the trouble?
Aunt Kate walked out anxiously. When she opened the door, she saw Xenos.
“Aunt Kate, this is the aquatic product I brought back. You can make it when Kristen wakes up.”
“Miss Winter, something went wrong.”
Aunt Kate spoke hastily and led Xenos inside.
Xenos saw Mr. Collins and hurried over. “Uncle Collins? Kristen, what’s wrong? Did you call an ambulance?”
Kristen removed her hand from Mr. Collins and looked at the two with a complicated gaze before nodding. “We’ve already called for an ambulance.”
As they spoke, the ambulance arrived at the entrance. Xenos said in a hurry, “That’s good. I’ll accompany Uncle Collins to the hospital. Please inform Ethan as soon as possible.”
When Mr. Collins was lifted into the ambulance, Xenos followed him.
“Miss Healey, should we call Mr. Wharton now?” asked Aunt anxiously.
“Let me do it.”
Kristen dialed a number, only to find that the other party was busy.
Kristen drove straight to the hospital for TNK Group and learned from Jacob that Ethan had been rushed to the hospital.
After thinking for a while, she called Anna again. “What notices do we still have? Let’s end this as soon as possible in the next two days.”
Anna drove an RV over and accompanied Kristen to inform the others.
After a busy day, Kristen’s cell phone suddenly rang.
Seeing that the call was from Mr. Wharton, Anna answered the call. “Mr. Wharton, Sis is filming an advertisement.”
“Mm. Tell her that he’s fine now.”
“Ah, okay.”
Anna was confused. When Kristen rested, she asked curiously, “Sis, who is feeling unwell? Mr. Wharton just called and said that he is fine. He asked you not to worry.”
Kristen took a sip and said calmly, “It’s his father.”
“What? Mr. Collins is hospitalized? Sis, how can you continue filming securely? Let’s hurry to the hospital.”
Anna was about to leave with Kristen as she said.
Kristen pulled her back and explained helplessly, “He’s not sick at all. He’s faking it.”
“What?”
Anna covered her mouth and exclaimed. “Why is Mr. Collins pretending to be sick? What’s going on?”
When Ethan’s father fainted, Kristen observed his symptoms and found that he was pretending to be unconscious.
Kristen understood that he wanted her to back down, and the reason why she didn’t expose him was that she wanted Ethan to understand something.
No matter how reluctant he was, he still cared about this father.
For three consecutive days, Kristen hastened to work so that she would only sleep three or four hours a day.
“Sis, this is the last notice. Let’s go back to rest after the filming.”
Anna was really worried about Kristen’s health. How could she bear it if it went on like this?
“Aye.”
Kristen closed her eyes. No one knew what she was thinking.
Her phone rang and Kristen opened it. It was a text message from Xenos.
[Ethan is hospitalized.]
Kristen’s heart skipped a beat and she rushed to the hospital.
Ethan was lying in the ward, his face pale.
“As early as 10 days ago, he was already feeling unwell. In addition, he had been enduring all the time. If it broke out all of a sudden, his body, even if it was made of iron, would not be able to bear it.”
As she spoke, she glanced at Kristen and suggested, “Sister-in-law, Bro’s body can’t wait any longer. We have to get Doctor M to operate as soon as possible.”
“I know.”
Kristen took out her phone and walked to the side. She gritted her teeth and answered, “Aunt.”
“Ethan’s body can’t handle it anymore?”
With fluttering eyelashes, Kristen smiled bitterly in her heart. “As expected, my aunt did this for this purpose.”Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
They had targeted TNK Group to keep him busy. Ethan had just recovered from a serious illness, how could he be able to handle such a heavy workload? Something was bound to happen sooner or later.
“Aunt, please save him.”
“He can be saved, don’t forget your promise to Auntie. Go back and obediently get engaged to Elvis.”
Kristen compromised. “All right, I’ll go back.”
“When you’re engaged, I will perform the surgery on him.”
Heloise hung up the phone with an apologetic look on her face.
“Kristen, in the future, you will understand that everything I have done is for your good. Only Elvis is your best choice.”
Kristen leaned against the wall absent-mindedly. Previously, she had been hoping that Ethan would recover well.
She thought that her aunt would change her mind and no longer force her, but it was broken by luck, so she could only accept her fate.
“Kristen.”
A gentle voice called out from behind her. Kristen turned her head and saw Xenos in front of her.
Xenos smiled calmly. “Can I talk to you?”
Kristen nodded. “Sure.”
As they sat in the corridor, Xenos sighed emotionally. “I didn’t expect Ethan’s illness to be so serious. Even Uncle Collins’ health isn’t optimistic.”
Kristen remained silent, waiting for her to continue.
Seeing that Kristen was silent, Xenos simply said, “Kristen, the doctor said that Uncle Collins can’t be irritated anymore. I had no choice but to agree to the engagement with Ethan. I’m sorry, please don’t blame me.”
Kristen looked at her and asked in a deep voice, “What if I don’t agree?”
