Chapter 198: Help Me Undress

Chapter 198: Chapter 198: Help Me Undress

Julian Forrester suddenly stood up from the sofa.

Keith Sterling almost jumped. "Bro, what are you doing?"

Julian Forrester said, "I won’t see you out."

Keith Sterling: "???"

’When did I say I was leaving!’

’I was still hoping to freeload a meal!’

And yet, the next second, his bro had already turned heartlessly and started walking upstairs.

At that moment, Sienna Everett had just finished her shower and was blow-drying her hair. Julian Forrester knocked and came in, then naturally took the hair dryer from her hands and expertly started drying her hair for her.

The man’s fair, slender fingers moved through her black hair, gently massaging her scalp.

Sienna Everett was so comfortable her eyes squinted shut in pleasure.

After her hair was dry, Sienna Everett asked casually, "Why did you come up?"

The moment she spoke, the man reached out and hugged her, resting his chin on the top of her soft, fragrant hair and nuzzling it. "To come rest with my Sienna."

Sienna Everett blinked. "Okay. You should get some proper rest too. You’re always so busy."

He let her go and looked down at her with a raised eyebrow, his relaxed voice tinged with amusement. "Is my baby worried about me?"

"..." Sienna Everett lifted her chin haughtily. "I guess I can show a *little* bit of concern, but only because you took me out for fun!"

A low, husky laugh rumbled in the man’s throat, the sound impossibly sexy. "Then, to repay Sienna’s concern, I’ll accompany you for a nap."

He opened his arms and said lazily, "Come on, help me get undressed."

Sienna Everett: "?"

’Is this supposed to be repayment, or are you just taking advantage of the situation!’

...

Lucas Everett went to the hospital to visit Sheila Whitaker.

Sheila Whitaker was sitting up in her hospital bed. She looked a bit better, but she still couldn’t be discharged.

Shannon Everett and Miles Everett were there with her. Morgan Everett was still cleaning up the mess at the Everett Corporation.

"Mom," Lucas Everett said, sitting on the chair by the bed. He was peeling an apple with a fruit knife, his brows furrowed. "When I hurt my right leg before, our family found a top international surgeon. That doctor initially refused to operate on me, so why did he suddenly agree later?"

"Lucas, why are you suddenly asking about this?" Sheila Whitaker asked, confused.

"It just randomly came to mind. Mom, just tell me."

"What other reason could there be? The Everett family hadn’t fallen from grace back then. The doctor naturally agreed to treat you out of respect for the Everett family’s reputation."

But Lucas Everett frowned. ’If it was out of respect for the Everett family, why did he refuse to operate on my leg in the first place?’

This was the inconsistency that had suddenly occurred to him, which was why he had made a special trip to the hospital today to ask Sheila Whitaker about it.

Just then, Miles Everett asked in a placid voice, "Lucas, has your leg injury flared up again? Why the sudden question?"

"No, you don’t need to worry, Second Brother," Lucas Everett said with a shake of his head.

"Fourth Brother, it’s good that you’re okay!" Shannon Everett poured a glass of water and brought it over. "Fourth Brother, the Everett family is in this state because of me. You absolutely can’t let anything happen to you now."

Lucas Everett felt a bitter taste in his mouth. "Shannon, don’t talk nonsense. What does the Everett family’s decline have to do with you?"

"It’s all because of me. It’s why my sister is targeting the Everett family like this. If..." Shannon Everett’s eyes reddened, and tears instantly welled up.

The sight of her crying made Lucas Everett’s heart bleed with pain. "Shannon, stop talking nonsense! It’s clearly all Sienna Everett’s fault! She’s the one who can’t tell right from wrong, to be so ruthless to her own family!"

Miles Everett glanced at Lucas Everett, then at Shannon Everett, but said nothing.

Shannon Everett threw herself crying at Sheila Whitaker’s bedside. "Mom, you should just... let me leave the Everett family! If I leave, maybe my sister will calm down and stop targeting the family... When it comes down to it, it’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have been so greedy for the love of Mom, Dad, and my brothers..."

"Silly girl, stop talking such nonsense!" Sheila Whitaker quickly grabbed her hand. "The Everett family’s current downfall is all because of that monster, Sienna Everett! I wish I’d never given birth to her! Shannon, don’t you ever talk about leaving the family again. Do you want to break your mother’s heart?"

"But Mom..."

"Shannon, your Fourth Brother will never agree to you leaving the Everett family either!" Lucas Everett put down the apple he was peeling and gripped Shannon Everett’s shoulders. "You just stay in the Everett family and don’t worry about a thing. If Sienna Everett dares to bully you again, see if I don’t break her legs!"

"Fourth Brother..." Shannon Everett’s face was covered in tears.

"There, there, stop crying, my silly little sister..."

Lucas Everett then transferred one hundred thousand yuan to Shannon Everett as pocket money. He saw her finally smile through her tears, but his own heart grew heavy.

’Before the Everett family’s downfall, they never had to be so frugal. They used to give Shannon millions in pocket money, but now...’

’When it comes down to it, it was all that jinx Sienna Everett’s fault!’

After leaving the hospital, Lucas Everett tried to call Sienna Everett, only to find he’d been blocked. He was furious, with nowhere to vent his anger.

After calming down, Lucas Everett searched online for the recent activities of the doctor who had operated on him and was surprised to find that the doctor was currently in Aethelburg for a conference.

The doctor’s name was Nolan Chambers.

Lucas Everett found out which hotel he was staying at and immediately drove over.

However, he didn’t know Nolan Chambers’s room number, and the hotel front desk wouldn’t disclose it casually.

Lucas Everett had no choice but to wait outside the hotel. Finally, around dusk, he saw Nolan Chambers coming out of the hotel and immediately went over to greet him. "Dr. Chambers, hello! I’m Lucas Everett. You operated on my right leg before!"

The name Lucas Everett left a deep impression on Nolan Chambers. He looked him up and down a few times. "Has your leg injury flared up again?"

"No. I know it’s presumptuous of me to come here today, but I have a question I’d like to ask you!"

"What is it?"

Lucas Everett took a deep breath, his expression serious. "Back when I hurt my right leg, you were initially unwilling to operate on me. But then you suddenly changed your mind and agreed. Why is that?"
