CEO’s Mysterious Fiancée By Piper Dunlap Chapter 209
CEO's Mysterious Fiancee
Chapter 209 A Heart-to-Heart Talk Because her grandparentsâ central nervous system had been greatly damaged, in addition to the respiratory infection, anemia, electrolyte metabolism disorder, and so on, she needed to use multiple drugs on them.
She first prepared the medicine for the first three days and made them into powder so that her grandparents could mix the powder with water and take it.
Unknowingly, it was already half past eight in the evening.
Hernan waited in the green courtyard. He raised his watch and looked in the direction of the door, but he still did not see Paige coming home.
He thought, I heard she had gone out for some errands. Did she go to meet that doctor?
Is the doctor a man or a woman? If the doctor is a man, now that itâs so late, will Paige be taken advantage of?
At this time, Bonnie came forward and respectfully reported, âMr. Hernan, the daisies have been planted as you ordered. Do you want to go up and take a look?â
Hernan looked up and saw that on Paigeâs balcony on the second floor, daisies were blooming around the guardrail, beautiful and fresh.
He wondered if Paige would be in a better mood when she saw this scene.
âThatâs Paigeâs room. I wonât go then.â
Although he was Paigeâs brother, he was still a man. How could he enter her room without her consent in the middle of the night?
âGo ahead and do your work.â
âYes.â Bonnie respectfully retreated.
After a while, Hernan did not wait for Paige. He got up and walked into the living room. âAmily, is Patricia asleep?â
âDo you wanna meet Ms. Patricia? She is definitely not asleep at the moment! Please wait a moment. I will ask her to come down.â
Amily was a little overjoyed, because in this family, in addition to pleasing Donald and Danica, the most important thing was to gain Hernanâs favor!
Compared to Hernanâs brothers, Hernan was the most powerful one. Everyone had to show respect to whomever he wanted to keep.
âNo need. I will go to her.â Hernan strode upstairs and did not let Patricia especially come down.
Amily glanced at the time and secretly felt happy. Supposedly, at this time, Hernan was ready to sleep, but he still made an exception for Patricia!
âPatricia, itâs me. Are you asleep?â Hernan stood at the door of Patricia and knocked on the door.
âHernan?â When Patricia heard the sound, she immediately opened the door. Hernan hadnât talked to her alone for a long time.
Tonight, Paige went out and Hernan happened to come to meet her. Patricia assumed that Paige did not let Hernan come to meet her before!
Thinking of this, Patricia happily made room for Hernan. âHernan, come in and talk.â
âLetâs go to the terrace.â
Every floor had a large viewing terrace, and the floor where Patricia was located was no exception.
On the terrace where flowers and grass swayed, Patricia asked sincerely, âHernan, itâs late at night.
Whatâs the matter?â
Before Hernan could answer, Patricia took the opportunity to act like a spoiled kid. âYou havenât talked to me for a long time. I thought you didnât love me anymore! Although I have always regarded you as my brother in my heart, I donât know if you still think of me as your sister in your heartâ¦â
Speaking of this, Patricia deliberately pretended to be sad.
âOf course.â
Hernanâs affirmative tone made Patricia smile. âI knew that you were the best for me!â
âPaige has just returned to this home. Itâs fair enough that we tend to care more about her feelings. It may make you think that we treat you differently.â
Hernan said sincerely, âBut in the eyes of my parents, me, and several other brothers, you are still a part of this family. It has never changed.â
When Patricia heard this, she sensed something wrong. Hernan was clearly implying something. Did he try to warn her about something so late at night?
âThese years, have my parents treated you well?â Hernan asked again.
Patricia said without hesitation, âOf course they treat me well. They said I was the most important treasure in the family. They wished to give me all the best things in the world.â
âThen how am I to you?â
âYou will buy me anything that suits me whenever you see it. Youâll also buy me those new designs I canât buy.â
âHow do the other brothers treat you?â
âTheyâre nice to me too!â Patricia felt insecure and decided to make a move first. âHernan, why did you suddenly ask this?â
Hernan said seriously, âPaige was left outside for eighteen years. Now, she finally returns to this home.
My parents and I all want to make up for her. Maybe in your opinion, we value her more than you. But in our opinion, everything we are giving her now is what you have had over the past eighteen years.â
Patricia understood that Hernan was talking to her due to Paige!
She was unhappy instantly.
âHave you ever thought that this is her home? She should come back here and enjoy the life that should belong to her. She is my parentsâ daughter and they should treat her well. As her brother, I should dote on her more. In particular, she has suffered outside for eighteen years. We should make up for her.â
âHernan, youâre suddenly telling me this. It sounds like I donât welcome Paige to come back to this home!â Patricia felt a little jealous and looked a little depressed. âDonât get me wrong. I have no hostility towards Paige.â
âI can tell if you have or not.â
Hernanâs gaze fell on her, and he said meaningfully, âThe reason why Iâm talking to you is to let you know that even if Paige has returned to this home, our care for you over the past eighteen years is not fake. You can still stay. Just like before, you can buy whatever you want and do whatever you want. No one will restrict you or treat you differently.â
Patricia did not believe his words. The Lusk family clearly treated her differently from beforeâ¦
âI can see that Paige has no hostility towards you. Sometimes, you cause trouble first, but she still doesnât mess with you. You should be happy to have such a sister.â
When Hernan said this, he paused and continued, âListen to me and give up your prejudice. Try to accept her and respect her. You will find that life is not much worse than before. On the contrary, you will live happier than before.â
Would she really be happy?
Yet, when she saw that her parents loved Paige so much and that Hernan was always biased towards Paige, she was jealous and angry!
âThis family does not belong to you,â Hernan said.
These words dealt a heavy ***to Patricia like a bolt from the blue!
âIncluding the love of my parents and the brothers, the life of luxury, the respect of the ***, none of them belong to you.â
Patricia was stunned on the spot.
âIt was because my parents got the wrong baby that you got to enjoy a happy life for eighteen years in place of Paige. Paige accepts you for the sake of my parents, me, and other brothers. Only then do you have the opportunity to be jealous of her and hurt her. If she had firmly refused you to stay in this family from the beginning, what would happen to you? Have you thought about it?â
