I Have Never Been Your First Choice novel Chapter 404

Chapter 404.

Lenora’s smile froze a little. She put the cat on the couch, “You came all the way back just for an outsider?”

“You answer me!” Nigel said, his tone a bit heavier.

The nanny who was in the kitchen heard the noise and hurried out, then saw the tense atmosphere in the living room, like people ready to draw their bows and crossbows.

The mother and son stared each other down for a long time.

The nanny stepped up and said, “Mr. Nigel, how could you get so mad at the lady…”

“None of your business.”

His attitude of not caring about anyone made Lenora’s chest tremble a little. In the end, she in first, “I just locked her up to teach her a lesson.”

“Locked up in that winery in the suburbs?”

“Yes.”

He gritted his teeth, “Just locked up?”

Lenora paused for a second and looked at him, confused, “You already have a woman you like, so why bother with other women’s business?”

Nigel frowned, “What do you mean I have a woman I like?”

“Wasn’t it?” Lenora was surprised, “That kid from the Reese family said you seemed interested in a girl lately, and she’s in the same profession as you.”

“Caroline was a doctor too, she admitted it herself, so how could it be fake?”

As soon as those words were said, Nigel’s eyes turned meaningful and cold.

After a moment, he laughed, “If I was interested in her, would I leave her hanging for three days?”

“…Wasn’t it her?” Lenora sat on the couch, looking really upset.

Nigel guessed the answer in his heart and turned to leave. Lenora stopped him, “It’s late, need to go yourself. I’ll have the bodyguard let them go now…”

you don’t

He stopped at the door, turned back, “If she had waited until now, she would have been dead long ago.”

Hearing the sound of the engine leaving the yard, Lenora frowned and picked up her phone to call the driver, “You took that girl to the winery and didn’t do anything, right?”

“…Ma’am, we didn’t do anything, it was you who said to cooperate with Ms. Warren. We just brought the person there and left, the rest should’ve been up to Ms. Warren.”

Lenora got it right away.

Charlotte woke up in the hospital room, and it was already the next morning.

What she saw was Jaxson leaning by her bed with his eyes closed, just wearing a gray shirt. His jacket was on the back of the sofa chair, and his sleeves were rolled up, showing half his wrists.

His head was slightly lowered, and his right hand was still gently holding the back of her left hand.

Charlotte wanted to speak, but her throat suddenly felt itchy and she started coughing. She instinctively raised her bandaged right hand, and the pain made her let out a muffled

She held the bottom of the cup with her left hand, “I’ll do it myself.”

Jaxson didn’t force it.

“Ch-“Penelope pushed the door into the hospital room, saw Jaxson there, and hurriedly backed out again, “I’ll come see you later!”

Jaxson took the cup and asked her, “Are you hungry? Want something to eat?”

Charlotte leaned against the pillow and looked out the window, “Anything’s fine.”

He pressed his thin lips together and slowly stood up, “I’m going out to make a call.”

Jaxson took his phone to the end of the hallway to contact Cynthia, asking her to send someone to the restaurant to order a healthy meal and deliver it to the hospital.

After Cynthia agreed, she asked, “Ms. Warren said she had something to tell you. Do you want to see her?”

Jaxson looked gloomy and didn’t say a word.

Here.

There was a woman crying and shouting at the end of the hallway in a private clinic in the suburbs.

The room at the end was a surgery room.

Caroline was strapped to the operating table, and they cut the tendon in her right hand without

After she fainted and was forced to wake up, she was messed with so much that she could barely feel her right hand, she couldn’t even feel the pain anymore.

She stared at the ceiling with a blank look, just kept saying she wanted to see Jaxson.

The clinic doctor took Cynthia and Jaxson into the room.

Looking at Caroline’s miserable and pitiful look, Jaxson’s face showed no emotion.

She couldn’t move, tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes, “Jaxson… Jaxson, you clearly said you’d protect me, why… why did you change?”

The others all backed up to the door, and only Jaxson and Caroline were left in the bright operating room.

He looked at the slowly dripping IV bottle, his face unchanged, “So I still have to keep covering for your crimes, even murder?”

She was still hysterically defending herself, “I didn’t kill anyone, it was

“Is there a difference?” Jaxson looked down at the person on the operating table. “Caroline, I know I owe you for those ten years, but I’ve already paid you back. Even your son Collin, I didn’t treat him badly.”

“But what about you? What did you do in my name?” He sneered coldly and gave a self–mocking smile, “I really didn’t know that someone I’ve known for ten years was a snake.”

He said she was a viper…

Caroline smiled with red eyes, “If I wasn’t like this, I’d be dead already. You know what father was like. I didn’t know what it meant to sacrifice for others, I only knew being selfish was a way to protect myself. At least before I met you, it felt like I was living in hell.”
