Chapter 1001
The folks in the ward quieted down, with a good number of eyes trained on Robin on the hospital bed.
Having a thing for another man’s wife? Not exactly something to brag about, right? Robin can’t be that desperate for a woman, can he?
Robin’s heart skipped a beat, but only for a moment. He quickly masked his feelings.
“I’m not blind, you know.”
He shot Bemard a quick glance, his face brimming with obvious distaste as if Eleanor was some kind of demon.
Bernard stared into Robin’s eyes, trying to read him. All he got was disdain and contempt.
“So why on earth would you want her to take care of you then?”
Robin crossed his arms nonchalantly, lifting his chin as he responded.
“We owe her mom a favor. I wanted to make it up to her, strengthen ties, give her something back.”
With that, Robin looked at Bernard again, not sure if he was hiding something or just trying to put him at ease. He didn’t beat around the bush
“Turns out her mom isn’t part of our family after all, but she grew up with us. You could say we’re cousins.”
Bernard’s icy gaze remained fixed on Robin, almost as if he could peer into his soul. Despite his heart racing, Robin refused to avert his eyes, allowing Bernard’s intense stare to continue. Finally, after what
seemed like an eternity, Bernard withdrew his cold gaze and issued a warning in a detached manner, “You better not have any ulterior motives, or else III break your legs!
As the suspicion in Bemard’s eyes gradually faded, Robin felt an overwhelming sense of relief, though he couldn’t quite understand why. After all, he didn’t even have any feelings for Eleanor. He only recalled her face, so why did he experience guilt in front of Bernard?
This perplexing feeling bothered Robin. “Do you think your wife is some kind of treasure? That everyone should adore her the way you do and treat her like she’s some precious gem?”
Bernard flicked his sleeve. “The best treasures in the world can’t compare to my wife. You could only be jealous.”
Robin nearly exploded, “Jealous? Me, the head of the Spencer family, jealous of you?!”
He asked thrice in a row, but Bernard couldn’t care less, even chuckling, “Who knows?”
Robin turned red with rage, “We’re on par in terms of family background and looks, what do I have to be jealous of?!”
A hint of amusement flashed in Bernard’s eyes, “I have a wife, but you don’t.”
Robin, who had always been in competition with him, was speechless…
He clenched his fists, grinding his teeth, “One day, I’ll marry a woman better than your wife. How will you compete with me then?!”
Bernard smirked, ignoring him, “Let’s get back on track. My wife is not going to take care of you. You better think of something else.”
Robin turned away. “I thought I made it clear. There’s no room for negotiation.”
Bernard’s icy gaze fell on him again, “So, you insist on my wife taking care of you?*
Robin raised an eyebrow casually, “Not necessarily. You could take care of me.”
Cedric’s parents stood at the entrance of the ward. Hearing this, they exchanged worried glances.
Bernard’s thick eyelashes dropped slightly. After a pause, he looked at Robin again.
“I’ll hand over a major project to you. That’s my offer. If you refuse, just wait and see.”
The man got up and left, his arrogant figure making Robin’s face darken instantly.
“Bernard, you need my help now, and you dare to threaten me?!”
Bernard paused, his hand in his pocket, before turning around to face Robin. With a smirk on his face, he looked down at him and said, “Whether I have the guts or not, that’s for me to decide. Think it over and give me a call.”
As Bernard walked away, the atmosphere in the ward was tense, and everyone’s attention shifted to the fuming Robin Elbert tried to offer some advice, saying, “You seem to be really losing to him…”
Before Elbert could finish his sentence, Robin lashed out and swung at him. Fortunately, Elbert managed to dodge in time. Confused, Elbert exclaimed, “I’m on your side! Why would you hit me?”
“Because you’re undermining me and boosting his ego. That’s why you deserve it!” Robin retorted, his fists clenched in anger, especially when he noticed Cedric’s parents outside the door, making his frustration even worse.
“Mark my words, I won’t let Cedric off easily. He better be ready for the law!”
Seeing that Robin was unreasonable, Cedric’s parents didn’t say anything more and followed Bernard out.
After they got home, Cedric’s mother, Latonia, thought for a while, then asked the driver to take her to Fiord Roundabout.
