Chapter 211 A Bet
Before Kaylah could say something, Hendry pushed Cecilia
and Alondra aside and reached out to grab Kaylahâs hand.
His cold fingertips touched Kaylahâs warm wrist, and he directly brought her into the ward.
Kaylah frowned and did not notice the intimacy between them. Instead, she
sensed Hendryâs body temperature.
Different from his cold and aloof personality, Hendry had always been in good health, and his body tem
perature was high.
After only a few interactions, Hendryâs body temperature had left a deep impression on Kaylah.
Thus, this time, Hendryâs low body temperature made her frown.
It was like the temperature of a corpse.
Was he too weak? Or was he seriously ill and going to die soon?
Kaylah was unaware of the trace of irritation on her face.
âYour assistant called me and said that you were sick. He asked me to come and visit you.â
Kaylah shook off Hendryâs hand and handed him the fruit she brought. Then, she explained with a
cold face.
The smile on Hendryâs face froze.
He thought that Kaylah was concerned about him.
He had not expected that it was Chad who had asked her to come.
âChad is ignorant. How can he disturb you?â
Hendry got a cup of warm water and handed it to Kaylah.
Kaylah did not take it, her face full of disgust. âI donât want to drink it.â
She hated the hospital because her parents passed away there.
At that time, she was still young and did not know what it meant to her. Moreover, in the hospital,
she saw the true colors of her relatives and elders for the first time.
Kaylah remembered their vicious looks, the threatening in their words, and the coldness when they ask
ed her and her brother to give up on their family property.
She hid behind her brother and grabbed his clothes in fear, afraid that she would become a wretched c
hild who had no parents like what those people said.
Kaylahâs face was gloomy, and she refused to touch anything in the ward. Seeing that Hendry did not r
eceive the fruits she bought for a long time, she became impatient.
âI have seen you. I should go.â
She put the fruits on the table and turned to leave, but she was stopped by Hendry.
âDonât go.â
Hendryâs pleading voice sounded.
Kaylah frowned and turned to look at Hendry seriously. âHendry, are you going to die soon?â
Hendry was speechless.
âAre you crazy? Why are you cursing my brother?â
Cecilia and Alondra followed behind and entered the ward.
They looked at Kaylah with unfriendly eyes. Hearing Kaylahâs words, Cecilia was furious.
She said coldly, âHendry, arenât you angry at her for talking nonsense like this? Hurry up and kick
her out!â
She hated Kaylah even more.
However, Hendry seemed to be possessed and ignored Kaylahâs words directly. Instead, he looked
at Kaylah with a gentle expression.
âDonât be rude. She used to be your sisterâinâlaw. Is this how you talk to your elders?â
Hendry started to lecture Cecilia.
Ceciliaâs arrogant attitude made Hendry feel uncomfortable.
He did not expect it to be so coincidental. Previously, no matter how
Chad asked Cecilia to come, she did not agree. Today, not only did she appear, but she also brought Alo
