Chapter 48 - Being Abducted!

Scarlett had rested for a long time.

During the few days that she stayed in the hospital, Mike would stay in her ward apart from a few meetings, with an expression of "Even if you provoke me, I won't say anything".

Scarlett did not want to take the initiative to talk to him. Either she took some photos, or checked the phone.

She had interacted more with Myke these days.

Although he did not speak much, he always got a point.

She didn't know why he was so free these two days as if he knew that Scarlett was bored alone and had been chatting with her.

"Myke: You change your name again."

"Proud-ex: Yeah."

She had integrated her resentment towards Mike into the username that she would change every few days.

"Myke: Do you have a lot of resentment towards your 'predecessor'?"

"Proud-ex: Well, he is a bad person - why did you use the lead?"

"Myke: When you hate or resent someone, it only means one thing."

It was obvious that she was trying to avoid the topic.

Scarlett was stunned and wanted to hear how this genius from Harvard looked at this matter.

She sent out a question mark and glanced at Mike who was facing the computer.

She especially hated Mike. What did this mean?

He seemed to realize that she was looking at him. He raised his head and met her gaze.

Scarlett saw his sharp eyes and immediately turned around, pretending not to care.

'This woman ...' Mike secretly gritted his teeth and typed a line on the keyboard with his long fingers.

"Myke: Hating someone means that you can't leave him. If you do not care about him, you won't pay attention to anything about him."

There was a loud bang!

Scarlett's phone fell to the ground.

Mike raised his head to find her slightly panicked expression.

"It's okay. My hand slipped." She hid her emotions with an embarrassed smile.

"Lie down and don't move." He walked over, picked up her phone, and passed it to her. He flicked it on her head again.

Scarlett was in a mess in her mind. She didn't even have time to ridicule him when he knocked on her. She looked at the words on the screen in a daze.

Couldn't she leave Mike?

What a stupid joke...

She was the one who suggested the divorce first. If not for the oppression of the Lauren family, she would have left him earlier.

However, the idea that was suppressed in her heart seemed to be vividly portrayed.

To prove her determination, she changed her name to Scarlett.

Scarlett let out a long sigh of relief after changing her name.

It was based on the correct fundamental values.

How could she be reluctant to part with a man who always bullied her, called her a wild cat and treated her as a pet?

Mike stood up with his face ashen.

"Where are you going?" Scarlett looked up.

"It has nothing to do with you."

He slammed the door and left.

Scarlett was taken aback.

Richard once called her Scarlett intimately.

She could not wait to show that she had nothing to do with Mike. And she changed her name to the one that Richard used to call her intimately.

Scarlett was left alone in the ward and she did not know why Mike suddenly became angry. The friend online also went offline at the same time.

"Seriously, why would they appear and disappear at the same time? Where are they going?"

Scarlett felt bored after lying down for a while. She called her best friend Miffy to ask her to smuggle some snacks over.

These days, she was lying in the hospital. Mike was like a prison head. She was not allowed to eat anything apart from the baby paste.

Her taste was about to fade. So she took advantage of the time to have something when he was not there.

When she was about to fall asleep, the door rang. Scarlett sat up and the fashionable Miffy pushed the door open.

Scarlett only stayed on her face for a few seconds and fixed on her empty hand, immediately protesting unhappily.

"Where are the kebabs and Tiramisu?"

"I bought a lot, but I can't carry it all, so I ask for Richard's help. Come in." Miffy turned sideways, the man behind her carrying two bags and a bouquet in his other hand.

Scarlett did not expect to see Richard again at such a time.

She was wearing a hospital gown and her hair was fluffy. Or could there be eye discharge on her face?

In the past two days, she was with Mike, so she didn't even care about her image. In any case, there were only two of them. She was casual together with him.

"Why did you come together?" Scarlett pretended to be calm, her hands quietly gathering the messy hair.

"I met him downstairs. He knew that you were here, so he came over to take a look. Scarlett, how did you end up like this? What exactly happened to you?"

Miffy and Scarlett had been good friends since childhood and knew that Richard and Scarlett had a good relationship when they were in school.

She did not think so much and came up together with him, but Scarlett was quite embarrassed.

"It's hard to say. I am fine now. But someone insists that I should stay for observation - sit down."

From the moment Richard entered, his eyes never left Scarlett.

Scarlett, who removed her makeup, looked different from the day of the banquet.

Especially her slightly embarrassed smile instantly reminded him of her during their student days.

Time never left a mark on her face. After removing her makeup, she was no longer a rich lady, but more like a girl next door.

Scarlett felt awkward. On one hand, she was untidy, and on the other hand, she was unprepared for Richard's sudden appearance.

"What? Why are there computers and desks?" Miffy couldn't feel the awkwardness between the two of them. She walked to Mike's desk and looked at it curiously.

Mike left in a hurry and didn't collect anything. The documents were spread out.

"They belong to Mike," Scarlett explained.

Hearing the name, Richard was disappointed.

"Nice! Your husband loves you so much. When you are sick, he always takes care of you. He is so busy that he even moved his work to the hospital. So touching!" Miffy said to Scarlett.

Scarlett was helpless and had no way to explain the matter between her and Mike.

Her expression was seen by Richard. He looked at Scarlett doubtfully and Scarlett looked away guiltily.

No, there was something wrong with Scarlett's attitude.

Richard immediately discovered.

When Miffy mentioned Mike, Scarlett was embarrassed and helpless. Although her reaction flashed away in a moment, it was difficult to escape from Richard's eyes.

He had always kept Scarlett in the deepest corner of his heart. During these years in the foreign land, he could still recall her smile and frown. If she got a happy marriage, how could she have such an expression when others mentioned Mike?

"Where did he go?" Richard asked.

"Maybe I'm busy with work." Scarlett had no way to face Richard calmly.

Her dodging attitude further proved Richard's speculation. Scarlett had something on her mind.

"Miffy, didn't you have an interest in my new car? Do you want to try?"

He handed the car key to Miffy. She did not realize that Richard planned to get her out of the ward. She took the key and clasped her hands to say goodbye!

"Then I am being so rude. Richard, take care of Scarlett."

In the room, only he and Scarlett were left alone.
