Spoil Me More, Dear Huaband

“Can we talk some other time?” Bowen Carter was still unconscious and she really didn’t feel like talking to him!

Cliff Ford shook his head, “Sister-in-law, there are some things that I want to talk to you about right now.”

“Okay, then we’ll try to keep this short.” Tess Baker glanced in the direction of the hospital room and took a few steps forward to stand by the window.

Boom!

A thunderclap sounded at first, and the rain said it was coming down, splitting the ground.

The rain came too suddenly, the patients who were walking downstairs and the patients’ families rushed to the hospital.

“There are some things that can’t really be said at length.” Cliff Ford’s eyes moved from the window to Tess Baker’s with a deep gaze, “Sister-in-law, I know that Carter used to treat you badly as a stand-in for Wendy Summer. You have resentment and hatred in your heart, that’s why you pretended to be dead directly after the plane crash and cut off contact with Carter.”

Tess Baker’s pale face became a little more ugly, remembering the time when her heart ached as if a million needles were sticking into her fingertips at the same time.

The matter of a substitute is a thorn in her heart that is difficult to remove.

How much she loves Bowen Carter, how deep this thorn is buried! So deep that it is stuck in the very center of the heart, even if the whole heart is divided, may not be able to find it!© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“But since you left, Carter hasn’t had a good day either.” Thinking about Carter’s decadence during that time, he still had palpitations, “He got a lot of people to go to the plane crash site to look for people and turned the place upside down just to find you.”

Tess Baker looked out the window at the increasing rain and had a complicated heart.

Five years ago, she signed the divorce papers and texted him before leaving. Although she was determined to leave at the time, she still held out a sliver of hope that he would exit and stay.

Yet … he didn’t even ask a question!

She was so disappointed that she decided to go to Switzerland and forget about him for good! But to her surprise, the traffic jam was so bad that she missed that flight!

Later, she heard about Bowen Carter looking for her, but did not contact him. If we’re going to break it off, let’s break it off cleanly!

It’s just that she didn’t think he would go to such lengths to find her!

Cliff Ford took a deep breath and continued, “Everyone said they couldn’t find you and that you must be dead. But Carter didn’t believe it, and he left all his work in the group to look for you at the place where the plane crashed for a year.”

“During that time, he was just like crazy, only four or five hours of sleep every day, as soon as he opened his eyes is to continue to look for you, the whole person was thin to skin and bones. I and others are persuading Carter, trying to make him give up the idea of looking for you, he later got tired of listening to it, and beat me up, almost cut off with me because of it!”

Having never heard any of these things before, Tess Baker’s limbs went limp and she almost fell to the floor. She could only hold on to the wall as hard as she could to maintain a standing position.

These are things that Bowen Carter never told her …

Cliff Ford blinked and forced back the watery glow under his eyes, “A year has passed and Carter still hasn’t found you. Aunts and uncles are worried about Carter going crazy and want to find a new daughter-in-law so that Carter can divert his attention.”

“But Carter couldn’t get interested in any other woman, so his aunt and uncle drugged him and arranged for Snowy Cole to sleep with him. But that day, he threw the naked Snowy Cole out of the house, and he survived by himself!”

Tess Baker bit her lower lip, her heart couldn’t stop squirming, even her voice was a little raspy, “Doesn’t he have women outside? Why not go to them?”

He often taunted her, saying she was no better than any woman out there except for the name Mrs. Carter!

She smiled back at the sarcasm each time, but her heart felt like a big hole had been broken and blood was gurgling out, aching and hollow!

“You’re the only one who believes Carter’s bullshit.” Cliff Ford laughed so softly that it was worse than crying, “Carter has never had any other woman but you. He’s always had nothing but Wendy Summer in his heart, and I’ve gotten him plenty of women he’s never touched.”

Hearing the name ‘Wendy Summer’, Tess Baker’s face stiffened and her somewhat bitter and somewhat warm heart instantly became icy.

Seeing this, Cliff Ford lit a cigarette and took a puff before saying quietly, “Sister-in-law, to be honest with you. If it weren’t for the fact that you look exactly like Wendy Summer, even if you drugged Carter, it wouldn’t have worked!”

Tess Baker wanted to say ‘I didn’t drug Bowen Carter’, but in the end, she didn’t. By now, who cares about this insignificant little thing?

In fact, even if Cliff Ford does not say this, she can guess the truth.

That night, Bowen Carter was frantically ramming into her, but with Wendy Summer’s name on his lips! She knew that she would never be able to compete with the dead woman for the rest of her life!

“Sister-in-law,” Cliff Ford exhaled a puff of smoke and looked at her through it, “I know you still mind Wendy Summer, but she’s dead, and you’re the one who’s with Carter now, and you’re the one who Carter cares about, so why do you care Why do you care so much?”

He put out his cigarette and raised his decibel, “A while ago when you were kidnapped, he stayed up day and night just to save you; this time when you were leaving, Carter is still lying in a coma in a hospital bed in order to keep you! Does this not show that Carter cares about you?”

Tess Baker’s face burned, the corners of her eyes watered, and her heart burned with guilt as she listened.

Bowen Carter has done so much for her, even almost died, and yet she keeps running away from his feelings, and is still pussyfooting around with a dead man, she’s the one being too careful!

“Ahem!”

Two coughs suddenly came from the ward, and Tess Baker’s pupils cringed as she immediately entered the room.

A flash of joy appeared on Cliff Ford’s tired face as he rushed hastily towards the ward, and as he reached the door, he turned another corner and shouted out to go –

“Doctor, my Carter is awake!”

…

“I just examined Master Carter, he has a serious wound, he must recuperate well.” The doctor said after doing the examination.

Cliff Ford could hardly hide his joy, “Thank you doctor!”

…

“Are you … having a hard time right now?” Tess Baker looked at Bowen Carter and hesitated for half a day, surprisingly, did not know what to say is good.

On the hospital bed, Bowen Carter watched him unblinkingly, not talking or making other movements, just like a dummy.

“Hello, Carter? Carter can you see me? Can you hear me?” Cliff Ford waved twice in front of his eyes, the joy on his face faded a little, and his voice was full of fear, “Sister-in-law, Carter seems to have become stupid, I’ll go get a doctor!”

Say it and run outside!
