Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband-Chapter 1012: My Woman—You Think You’re Worthy to Look at Her?
Tanya Sullivan withdrew her gaze from Cain Shaw and then coldly glanced in the direction from which Carney Shaw was coming. She turned and entered the hospital room.
Very quickly, Carney Shaw appeared in view. Carney Shaw was also a tall and imposing figure, but unlike Cain Shaw’s sinister vibe, Carney Shaw exuded a bloodthirsty ferocity. Crucially, Carney Shaw was blind in his left eye—he was a one-eyed dragon.
Carney Shaw came over, chuckling, "Cain, you won’t mind me suddenly showing up, will you?"
"Why would I?" Cain Shaw tucked both hands into his pockets, squinted his eyes slightly, and then with a hint of a smile, said, "It’s just that you’re following me wherever I go; people who know would think we’re very close siblings, those who don’t might think... you’re secretly in love with me, wanting to be together."
Hahaha...
Cain Shaw’s henchmen burst into laughter.
Carney Shaw’s face looked a bit displeased, but he didn’t dare to lose his temper, so he changed the subject, "Cain, I’m only here looking for that daughter from the Hollis family."
Speaking of the Hollis family’s daughter, Carney Shaw’s ferocity was revealed, along with a few fierce intentions, "That Jason Hollis has been with our Shaw family for a long time, but who would have thought he was an undercover agent. I executed him on the spot, but as it happened, his daughter returned home. That daughter of his is really fierce, and she knows how to fight—she took a pencil and blinded my left eye!"
Carney Shaw touched his blind left eye and took out that pencil. He perversely held it under his nose, sniffed it, and then intoxicatedly sighed, "Wow, what a fragrance, that night when I clashed with his daughter, I could smell the scent on her body, exactly like the residue left on this pencil. Jason Hollis hid his true nature well; I never knew the bastard had a daughter hidden away."
"I must catch his daughter; she took my eye, so I’ll want her... to compensate with her body, how about it, hahaha."
Carney Shaw laughed wildly.
Cain Shaw raised his brave eyebrows, nodded in agreement, "Fourth Brother actually fell at the hands of a little girl, this shame must be avenged. However, Fourth Brother, you should be careful—this fierce Hollis daughter might just blind your other eye."
"..." Carney Shaw’s smile instantly vanished; Cain Shaw had touched upon his sore spot, embarrassing him publicly.
But Carney Shaw quickly turned his gaze to the tightly shut hospital room door in front of him, "Cain, I hear your new love got a bit hurt, how is she, is it serious? Let me go in and have a look."
Carney Shaw slyly wiped his palms and then stepped forward to push open the hospital room door.
But Cain Shaw was faster. Standing six feet three inches tall, he immediately blocked the door, his robust and vigorous body like a wall blocking Carney Shaw. His hands remained in his pockets, and his solid back lazily leaned against the door as he squinted at Carney Shaw, "What do you want, huh?"
Carney Shaw bumped into Cain Shaw’s dark eyes; Cain Shaw stopped smiling, and without a smile, he seemed particularly cold and deep, making it impossible for anyone to know what he was thinking.
"Cain, you’re being too stingy; I just want to take a look," Carney Shaw said with a smile.
Cain Shaw, "My woman, and you’re worthy to look at her?"
Carney Shaw, "..."
These two were always amicable on the surface but really didn’t get along; usually, Cain Shaw would cooperate in acting, but who knew today he’d publicly turn against Carney Shaw for a woman, making the atmosphere immediately tense and hostile.
At this moment, the henchmen quickly intervened to mediate, "Fourth Brother, this is your fault; in the past, all of Cain’s little girlfriends let you see, but this new love is different. Cain treasures her, won’t let anyone see, hiding her away—only for himself to enjoy."
This incomprehensible talk made the other henchmen laugh along; Carney Shaw forced out a smile and took the chance to retreat, "Cain, I was being ignorant. I won’t look, won’t look anymore."
Cain Shaw squinted his eyes and also curled his thin lips, "The person inside is shy, don’t scare her off."
"Tsk tsk, seems like this new love has really captured Cain’s heart. Alright, I have some things to attend to, so I’ll be off first." Carney Shaw bade farewell and left with his men.
Carney Shaw turned a corner, out of Cain Shaw’s sight, and his smile quickly vanished. With a fierce face, he spat angrily, "Damn, what a thing, daring to give me attitude."
Everyone knew he was cursing Cain Shaw.
The henchmen quickly advised in whispers, "Fourth Brother, let’s endure for now; Cain Shaw’s identity is mysterious and particularly suspicious. As long as we seize the flaw and expose his identity, the old man won’t spare him, and the Shaw family will be yours, Fourth Brother!"
Carney Shaw suppressed his anger, "I’ve had people investigating for so long but can’t find any trickery about Cain Shaw. This time he suddenly brought his new love inland; I have a feeling he’s sneaking around to do something. Keep a tight watch on him—I feel I’m getting close to uncovering his true face."
"Yes, Fourth Brother."
...
Carney Shaw left, and Cain Shaw expressionlessly withdrew his gaze before turning and entering the hospital room.
The henchmen quickly drove away the gathering onlookers, "Come on, disperse, everyone disperse."
Leah Thorne had been hiding in the crowd, trying to minimize her presence. Carney Shaw’s arrival made her vaguely guess her brother’s current situation; her brother must be walking on thin ice, unable to reveal his identity.
Leah Thorne’s heart rose with anxiety; this place was familiar territory, and some old acquaintances might recognize her brother. She could recognize him, so maybe other people could too.
If her brother’s identity were exposed, the consequences would be unimaginable; she didn’t want to lose her brother again.
This time, her brother must have taken the risk to return for her.
Leah Thorne’s watery eyes suddenly became red—after so many years apart, seeing each other again, they dared not look at each other too long amidst the crowd.
Earlier, she covered her brother’s ear and said a few words, but she didn’t speak; instead, she gave... a string of phone numbers, her phone number.
She waited for her brother to contact her.
...
Inside the hospital room.
Cain Shaw walked in and immediately noticed the slender silhouette standing by the window; Tanya stood there, her back to him, with pure black long hair smoothly cascading down her shoulders. She looked like a very obedient and gentle 19-year-old girl.
But who would have thought that this little girl had taken out a pencil from her bag and blinded Carney Shaw’s left eye after witnessing her father’s death.
She was more like a small blade of grass swaying in the wind, resilient, tenacious, and brave.
"Tanya Sullivan," Cain Shaw called out.
Tanya didn’t turn around; her voice was calm, "My surname isn’t Sullivan; my surname is Hollis."
"Oh, Tanya Sullivan," Cain Shaw replied blandly.
Tanya, "..."
The two were silent for a few seconds before Tanya spoke up, "What’s your relationship with that pretty girl outside with the scar on her face?"
