Chapter 277: PACIFY
"I understand but there’s no way I’m going over to meet Mary and her daughter. Those duo deserve to rot wherever you’ve kept them because they deserve it," Erika argued nonchalantly.
She got out of Ethan’s arms and went behind him to continue to massage him. If only she knew that he wasn’t having any sort of discomfort in the first place. He just wanted her attention to be on him entirely.
Edward gave up as he released a sigh. "I’ve already delivered my message and since you believe that it’s worthless, I will make sure I teach that woman a lesson later." He said and Erika nodded in understanding.
Edward walked towards the door to leave but suddenly halted. He turned towards them and walked back inside.
"Do you have any plans for that baby?" He asked her and Erika didn’t need to have her name mentioned to know that Edward was talking to her. Her fingers that were on Ethan’s shoulders quickly stiffened. She looked up at Edward with wide eyes.
"I have nothing to do with that baby," she said without holding herself back. That child was Adrain’s and Felicia’s baby. Oh no! Felicia facepalmed herself.
"What’s wrong?" Ethan asked when he saw her cute and childish act.
"It’s Felicia. She wasn’t at the hideout when you came to rescue me yesterday because she went to have surgery on her face," she replied, gelling stupid for forgetting such a vicious enemy of hers that could burn an entire building just to be sure that she would die in it.
Her happiness has escalated after her brothers had found her to forget about Felicia and she could only wonder if that woman had completed her surgery.
"Do you know where she is?" Edward asked her this time. He had no clue that there was another character that could be bothering his sister-in-law and was quite surprised that she had so many people coming after her but she still ended up defeating them all, he thought to himself.
"Two days ago, Adrian took the both of us to a hospital," she trailed off.
Ethan frowned. "Hospital? And why is that?" He asked her, his tone filled with worry as his eyes scanned her body that was already clothed to see if she had any injury that he hadn’t noticed.
"No," she shook her head. "Adrian took the both of us to that hospital because he planned to have Felicia have cosmetic surgery done because they all thought that you wouldn’t be able to remember me since you had a bullet in the head. So after the surgery is completed, she can come here and pretend to be me while I stay there with Adrian," Erika explained to them. She looked down to see Ethan’s hands balled into a fist and veins angrily popped out from them, making it look both sexy and scary.
"That bastard! He dared to kidnap Erika and then tried to marry her and now, he planned to have that slut of a woman come here and pretend to be Erika!" He yelled out of anger.
Erika tried to calm Ethan down as soon as possible. It wasn’t good for him to scream out loud.
"Calm down Ethan! Don’t worry, nothing happened to me but now, what I’m worried about is if Felicia was able to successfully get the surgery done with ease. And if she did, is she still at that hospital?" She asked no one in particular.
"Let’s go to that hospital," Edward suggested and Erika immediately nodded. She leaned in to peck Ethan on his cheek and intended leaving but he grabbed her hand before she could walk any further away from him.
"I will come with you," he said, his voice firm and didn’t leave any room for arguments.
Erika nodded and together, the three of them left the hospital room. Felix would have volunteered to go along with them but now that he finally found a chance to be with Monica again and she wasn’t chatting with anyone, he scouted to her side as he displayed a boyish smile.
"Now that Erika is not here to chat with you, I’m sure that you would want to come chat with me instead, right?" He asked her with a wink.
Monica sized him up from head to toe before she repeated, "You are not fun to chat with."
Felix’s boyish smile immediately faltered when he heard her words while Michael snickered from behind.
He immediately choked on his saliva when he felt piercing daggers directed towards him.
"Excuse me," he patted himself as he tried to stop coughing. "There’s a patient that needs my attention so I will leave you two," he came up with an excuse and left the couple together to bicker as they had always done.
Felix glared at Michael as the latter walked out of the VIP room. Once Michael’s shadow was no longer found inside the room, he turned towards Monica who was glaring just as hard as he had been glaring at his brother just a while ago.
"What’s it?" He asked her.
"You think I didn’t see what you were trying to do earlier? You were trying to make me stop talking with Erika because I ignored you?" She asked him.
"Exactly! You were ignoring me and I didn’t like that," he said with a pout. Monica looked at him and its wide eyes and parted lips but no words agreed to flow out of them.
"Do you know that you are acting like a child?" She asked him.
Felix leaned in to peck her parted lips and made sure to nibble on her lips and sucked it hard before he replied.
"Only for you," he winked at her, leaving her even more speechless. She clenched her fist and intended to punch him but he pulled her towards him instead and wrapped his arms around her waist.
"Now don’t be a violent baby, " he said against her lips and without wasting a second, he captured her lips into a long and passionate kiss to ease her anger towards him.
