GoodNovelChapter 256: Ewing, however, clenched his jaw and responded with determined clarity, "If my memory servesright, she's been expressing her burning desire to return to Ferelden for stime. I'm merely fulfilling her wish. Shouldn't she be pleased? Plus, the top medical team that has previously treated her is based there. I'm doing this for her benefit." As Ewing laid out his reasoning, Bria's performance escalated. She cried out, simulating immense pain and seeming on the verge of collapse, in a bid to garner sympathy and perhaps sway Ewing's decision. Noemi, despite her own pain, had no choice but to continue supporting Bria in her theatrical display.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEwing's gaze swept coldly over Bria and Noemi before he let out a weary sigh. His voice softened slightly as he commanded, "Go back to your room now. I'll inform you of my decision once I've made up my mind." As Ewing turned to walk away, Bria immediately dropped her act. She shot a look of displeasure at Noemi, her frustration evident. "You're the reason why Ewing is not falling for it." Noemi, feeling both helpless and responsible, replied with an apologetic tone, "Apologies, Miss Nixon. I take full responsibility for my failures." Bria responded dismissively, her voice cold, "Keep kneeling here until I say otherwise." Bria's mind then shifted to visiting Kallie, her long-missed cousin who had recently returned to the clan.
The bodyguards reported it to Ewing as soon as Bria cto visit Kallie. After a moment of contemplation, Ewing consented but with strict instructions. “Increase the security around Kallie. Keep her safe at any cost. If anything goes wrong, report it toat once." "Yes, sir." While Kallie was enjoying a peaceful walk accompanied by a nurse specially assigned by Ewing, she suddenly heard a sweet female voice from behind.
"There you are, Kallie!" Bria called out cheerfully as she approached with a smile that didn't reach her eyes. Kallie immediately felt a chill. Just the sound of Bria's voice was enough to give her goosebumps. She turned to face Bria with a look of stark indifference.
Unperturbed by Kallie's icy expression, Bria breezed over and took Kallie's arm as if they were the best of friends. "Welchome, Kallie! I'm so glad you're back. I brought you a gift! I hope you'll like it." Kallie's gaze sharpened with vigilance as she quickly shook off Bria's grip, distancing herself. It seemed to her as though Bria had transformed into a different person overnight, conveniently forgetting the tensions that had flared just the day before.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs Kallie gestured her response with sign language, her messages were simultaneously interpreted. "Bria, kindly drop your act since our relationship isn't as close as you pretend. Relax if you are concerned I'll hold you accountable for your doings. Since you haven't actually harmed me, I will just look past your behaviors. It will be best if you keep your distance from me."
However, Bria simply blinked, feigning innocence and confusion. "Are you trying to cut ties withKallie? But we're family. I'm sorry for the past, and I hope you can givea chance to make amends. We should try to get along, at least for Ewing's sake," she implored, her voice sugary sweet.
Kallie's disdain grew as she watched Bria's performance, the insincerity palpable. She gestured discreetly to the nurse and the bodyguards, signaling them to give her sspace.
