Last tSean hunted down Arabella, he lied and called her his girlfriend, begging Sean to cut her sslack.
But why was he suddenly so invested in Arabella's affairs, considering he was grinding his teeth in rage over her last time?
And now he wanted them to break up?
"The Collins family has a marriage pact with the McMillian family, and only someone like Romeo is worthy of my sister," Sean
declared.
The other guys in town couldn't hold a candle to his sister!
"Make arrangements, I'm heading home."
"What?" Steward gaped in shock at Sean's words, "Sean, you've just had surgery, the doctor said you need to be observed for at
least two days."
"My sister must be heartbroken; havingaround could at least be of scomfort."

Steward struggled to picture Sean as the comforting type. He was more likely to infuriate people than offer solace.
Would Ms. Bella even want his comfort?
Chances were, seeing him would only fan the flames.
"Aren't you going to get ready?" Sean shot him a chilly glare, noting that his subordinate was getting less and less responsive.
Steward hurriedly suggested, "I'll get the doctor to check if you can be discharged."
"Since when is my health decided by others? If | say I'm fine, then I'm fine. Why have you becsuch a fusspot?"
Steward wanted to cry out in frustration: Sean, I'm just worried about your health.
But at that moment, Sean was eager to get home. Everyone had thought that Romeo and Serena were the perfect match, and now
with his sister back home, given her fiery nature, she would never go after Romeo. That left her vulnerable to be duped by
someone like Timothy.
His sister couldn't just end up with anyone.
If she was to be with someone, they had to be the cream of high society!
He hadn't interacted with Romeo much before, but the man's looks, demeanor, background, and capabilities were clear to see, far
better than Timothy's.
"Get this thing off my head so my sister won't worry," Sean said, not wanting to be bandaged up when he saw her. He wanted to
make the best impression.
But Steward thought: Sean's impression on Ms. Bella couldn't get any worse. With a bandage on his head, at least she might feel a
bit of sympathy?
Yet he dared not voice this thought.
He knew Sean's rush to get hwas because nobody gave him his sister's number, and with New Year's just around the corner,
she would surely return home.
Sean wanted to wait for her there.

Eunice went to check on Kenneth, and upon returning to the bedroom, she said to Louisa, "Kenneth's asleep. Bard had the doctor
add ssleeping pills to his medicine to ensure he gets a good rest. Your medicine should be ready now; it's not too hot. I'll help
you take it."
She sat by the bed and noticed Louisa's eyes were red with tears still at the corners.
"Still thinking about all that?" Eunice lifted the bowl to give her a sip, "That girl did a lot of despicable things, but at least we've
unmasked her and cut our losses. We did gain something; we know who her real parents are, and there's more to that fire from
years ago."
Eunice passed Louisa a couple of tissues to dry her tears, then continued to help her take her medicine. "With her gone, we can
focus all our tand love on Bella. We don't have to worry about fairness or favoritism anymore."
"I just called Romeo. He said he and Bella are on their way back home," Louisa's voice was choked and hoarse.
"That's wonderful. With New Year's approaching, it's tfor them to return. Hans and his family are coming back too; the house
will be even livelier. We can prepare whatever surprises we want for Bella without worrying about the feelings of that girl. We can
do as we please."
