The Heir's Secret Bride

"Get out! Gilbert scolded.

The next moment, Jason was chased out.

When he saw Maeve at the doorway, he looked stem.

7's good that you heard it," he said. "It's only a matter of time before I make Byron divorce you. So you'd better not think that you can rest easy with my dad backing you

Marve's face turned pale, and her palms hurt from clenching

She thought. Sure enough, other than Gilbert, no one in the Mcdaniel family approves of my marriage with Byron. Even Byron's father opposes it so strongly, so it's only a matter of time before we divorce. After staying in in the bungalow until the afternoon, Byron still hadn't returned. Maeve then went back alone.

It was not easy to get a taxi here, so Gilbert sent a driver to drive her home.

Once in the car. Maeve felt a wave of discomfort and took out her phone to distract herself.

Bonnie (Maeve. I'm I'm such a poor thing. I slipped in the snow and hurt my butt.)

Bonnie (Mae

Maeve hurriedly clicked on it and saw the hospitalization photo Bonnie had sent.

She thought, Even when she was hospitalized, she didn't forget to bring her hug pillow along. This girl is really....

Maeve shook her head. She asked the driver to make a U-turn and go to First Hospital first.

Bonnie was

lying prone on the hospital bed. A doctor in a white coat stood beside her, saying something to her.

Maeve pushed open the door and was shocked to see Ray:

"Dr. George she said.

"Ms. eese? Ray said, smiling playfully. "What a coincidence. You re here too."

Maeve did not understand the deeper meaning in his words. She walked up to the pitiful Bonnie and asked him, "How's my friend's injury? Is it very serious?"

"She's your friende Ray glanced at Bonnie and nodded. "You should persuade her then. Her tailbone is dislocated and needs manual adjustment. If it drags on for too long, it will become more serious. Bonnie shouted in The word "butt" seemed to to echo.

in grief and I indignation, "No! I'm a married woman. I can't let a strange man touch my butt."

It was clearly a very tragic situation, but Maeve almost wanted to laugh.

Ray looked at Bonnie with some surprise and asked, "You're married?"

Bonnie tightly hugged her body pillow, which featured the printed image of a person, and said nervously. "That's right. I'm already married. Can I not get that adjustment?”

A hint of interest flashed across Ray's attractive eyes. "No, you cant, unless you want to lie here for the rest of your life." manadele evnression went blank upon hearing this.

"Dr. George, let me persinde her, Maeve hurriedly said. "It'll just take a while. It shouldn't delay anything, right?"

Ray nodded. "Alright. I'll go out now.

After he left, Maeve finally couldn't hold back her laughter. She laughed.

Bonnie looked aggrieved as she said, "I'm already in this state, yet you're still laughing. Are we still good friends?"

"Of course we are. That's why I'm here to persuade you to be more open-minded." Maeve smiled helplessly. "In the eyes of doctors, patients have no gender. If you keep being stubborn, you're the one who'll suffer."

She thought. "Well, I do understand that the spot where she's injured is indeed tricky to fix. Bonnie is a young woman who has never had a boyfriend. Naturally, she will have difficulty getting past this psychological hurdle. But if she doesn't go through with it, her injury won't heal, and that won't do! Maeve decided to add a bit more pressure. "And think about it, Dr. George is quite handsome. If you don't let him do the adjustment, the hospital may send a middle-aged guy....

no!" Bonnie

"No, no, no!

No,

was scared out of her wits. "I-I'll have it done, okay? I'll have the adjustment done now. Maeve, help me tell the doctor. I-I'm scared... Maeve lowered d her eyes and smiled. "Don't be scared. I know Dr. George. He is quite skilled in his profession."

"Please don't leave right away. Stay in the hospital with me, okay?"

"Okay, okay, okay. Sure thing. Don't worry."

With that said, Maeve went out to inform Ray, "Dr. George, Bonnie has agreed," she said. "We'll be counting on you to fix the injury later. "Not a problem, Mrs. Mcdaniel, Ray said with a smile. "Since she's your friend, I'll do my best no matter what"

The word "Mrs. Mcdaniel" made Maeve blush. She instinctively tried to deny it. "You're mistaken. Mr. Mcdaniel and I are

not....

"Mrs. Mcdaniel, don't hide it anymore. When Byron drank with us the other day, he told us everything." Ray clicked his divorce issue." Longue. He even got pretty drunk because you brought up i

With Byron's alcohol tolerance, very few people can get him drunk unless he is willing. Ray thought. Yet, he's gotten drunk twice because of Marve. I really don't believe he married her just to deal with his grandfather. Upon hearing this, Maeve looked a bit incredulous. She thought, Byron got drunk because

I brought up the divorce In the past, he was the one who always talked about divorce, so how come...

Enjoying the drama, Ray said, "By the way, Mrs. Mcdaniel, Byron is also on this floor. If you're bored waiting here, why don't you go see him now?"This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

"What's wrong with him?" Maeve immediately became nervous. Is he sick?"

Ray shrugged and said meaningfully, "He's not sick, but he's been bothered by an incurable problem."

He thought, 'And he's bothered by an experienced angelic bitch, nodess

Maeve was confused. As she was antsy, she went the ward ahead to look for Byron

Turning the corner, she saw two figures standing in front of a ward not far away.

The figures were unexpectedly Byron and Karen.

When Karen saw Maeve walking over, a scheming look flashed across her eyes.

she fell onto Byron and deliberately kissed his face.

Then, she

Byron frowned and pushed her away without hesitation.

However. Karen still left a red mark on his collar.

filled with sorrow. She pretended to cry and fell into his arms. She clutched his suit jacket tightly, refusing to let go.

She said, "Byron, I'm really scared....

Maeve froze when she saw this scene. Her feet seemed to be nailed to the ground, unable to move.

In an instant, her face turned extremely palc.

"If you're scared, go hug the doctor," Byron said. "What's the point of hugging me?"

He pushed Karen away. There was a hint of anger on his cold face. From the corner of his eye, he caught sight of a familiar figure and suddenly paused.

He turned his head and saw Maeve standing there, staring intently at them.

He frowned. Before he ould say anything. Maeve turned around and walked away.

turned around, wanting to chase after Maeve. Karen clung tightly to his sleeve and said with a sobbing tone, "Byron, don't leave me here alone. I'm afraid my dad will..."

He then turn

"Let go." Byron turned his head, a hint of hostility flashing across his blue eyes. "I don't want to repeat myself."

Karen had never been looked at with such a gaze before. She was so frightened that she let go. As she saw him quickly head in the direction where Maeve was leaving, she bit her lip tightly

He actually snapped at me for Maeve's sake!" she thought.

Maeve calmly walked toward Bonnie's ward. Halfway there. Byron grabbed her arm.

His voice was slightly serious as he said, "Maeve, it's not what you think you saw. Don't overthink things.

"I'm not overthinking things," Maeve said, her voice becoming tense. When she looked up, she wore an indifferent smile. "It's just a bug between two people who are childhood friends. There's nothing to fuss over. You don't have to explain yourself to

me.
