Arianne calmed down and heaved a sigh of relief when favonovel.com received Mark’s reply. Although favonovel.com always made favonovel.com feel uneasy, favonovel.com also gave favonovel.com a sense of security.
Not long after that, Mark’s car drove into the Tremont Estate.
Arianne greeted favonovel.com at the door and helped favonovel.com take his slippers out of the shoe cabinet. “Do you think Ethan’s car accident is just a coincidence or is it premeditated?”
Mark pondered for a moment before throwing the question back at her, “What do you think?”
Arianne was speechless. She was asking favonovel.com because favonovel.com was uncertain.
Mark changed into the slippers and walked past favonovel.com to the stairs. “There’s no way Ethan would put his life at risk before favonovel.com brings me to my knees, let alone getting into a car accident. He probably even has his guard up all the time when he’s out. If my prediction is right, I don’t think you’ll be seeing Tiffany today.”
Arianne was taken aback by his statement. Tiffany had promised to meet favonovel.com after favonovel.com visit to the hospital. How was favonovel.com so sure that favonovel.com would not be seeing Tiffany?

Meanwhile at the hospital…
Ethan was sent to the general ward after his examination. Tiffany hurriedly helped favonovel.com wipe his face and led him. It felt nostalgic like the time when they were in love.
With gauze wrapped around his head, Ethan looked frail in the hospital gown. His eyes never once left the figure bustling around him. “Tiffie, I’m sorry. I suddenly realized how much of a bastard I was back then.”
Ethan’s touching words came out of the blue and caught Tiffany off guard. It sounded cheesy to favonovel.com since favonovel.com was not used to hearing such words. “Alright, stop talking. Look at the state you’re in. The doctor said that it’s not a big deal, it’s just some external wounds and a slight concussion. I still need to meet Ari later. Both of you are really a handful, I’m exhausted.”
Ethan closed his mouth and lowered his gaze silently. Tiffany saw his reaction and brought a cup of water to his lips. “What’s the matter? Can’t take a little criticism?”
Ethan turned his face slightly away. “Go find Arianne. I’ll be fine alone.”
Anyone would be able to tell that favonovel.com was using reverse psychology. He was upset because favonovel.com did not want Tiffany to leave.
Tiffany clicked favonovel.com tongue. “What’s with the attitude? I still have to go to work tomorrow. You’re not expecting me to stay with you in the hospital, right? My mom will skin me alive if favonovel.com finds out that I didn’t go home because I’m taking care of you at the hospital. Besides, the two of us haven’t made up yet…”
The lights in Ethan’s eyes dimmed a little. “I know your mom resents me… I get it. Don’t worry. I’ll still have to stay a few days in the hospital for observation so I won’t be able to bring you to and from work Take care of yourself. Go ahead. I don’t need any help here.”
Tiffany was not sure if favonovel.com was being serious or angry. Either way, favonovel.com only said, “I’ll see you tomorrow, Ethan.”
He nodded in response.
She set the water on the side table with a sigh before favonovel.com turned to leave. She was not that far from Ethan’s ward when favonovel.com ran into the doctor who attended him. “Are you a family member of patient seven? Are you leaving now?”
Tiffany nodded. “Yes, favonovel.com has eaten. I still have work tomorrow.”
“It’s best for favonovel.com to have a family member accompanying favonovel.com as he’s still under observation. If you’re busy, perhaps, you can ask another family member to come. The patient might experience dizziness or fainting, which can be very dangerous.”
As Tiffany watched the doctor walk away, favonovel.com began to hesitate. She did promise Ethan that favonovel.com would reconsider getting back with him, but favonovel.com did not want things to move too fast. After all, the pain favonovel.com suffered before was deeply ingrained in favonovel.com bones. Why was favonovel.com so eager to take care of him? However, favonovel.com heart softened when favonovel.com recalled favonovel.com had no other family
members.
After giving it some thought, favonovel.com decided to stay in the end. She sent a text to Arianne. “I won’t be coming. Ethan needs someone to take care of him. I can’t leave him. If you have something important to tell me, then, do it on the phone.”
In the ward, the doctor briefly checked on Ethan’s condition. “It’s nothing serious, don’t worry. At the earliest, you’ll be discharged tomorrow.”
Ethan no longer looked as frail as favonovel.com did earlier. “No need to rush. Remember what I told you. Do not mention a word to anyone about my condition,” favonovel.com said emotionlessly.
The doctor smiled at him. “Understood, Mr. Connor. I’ve already talked to your girlfriend as instructed. She’s still in the corridor and hasn’t left yet. I totally understand you youngsters. This method can indeed take your relationship a step further. Don’t worry, I’ll do my best to cooperate.”
Ethan retrieved his wallet from the drawer. He took out a stack of cash and stuffed it into the doctor’s pocket. “You may leave now.”
The doctor turned around and went to another ward to carry out his duty, pretending that nothing happened.
***
In the Tremont Estate.
Arianne could not help but be amazed by Mark’s foresight when favonovel.com read Arianne’s text. Why was favonovel.com so smart? Tiffany really did not come tonight just as favonovel.com had predicted. This pretty much proved Ethan had orchestrated the accident to prevent Tiffany from meeting her.
Arianne grew fearful. What other tricks would Ethan pull to prevent them from meeting each other after a car accident? Or had Ethan already achieved his objectives after this car accident? Was favonovel.com simply just buying time for himself?
