One Night Surprise Novel

Chapter 357

Chapter 357 Unfilial Descendant

Alexander’s sudden appearance made Fiona forget to struggle, then Courtney placed her back on the bed. “Have a chat, both of you.”

Then, she placed the apple and fruit knife on the nightstand in a corner and flashed a soft smile at Alexander when she was walking past him, giving him an encouraging look.

It wasn’t easy to resolve a misunderstanding of twenty years. So much resentment and obsessions were interspersed in between, and it couldn’t be solved with the truth alone. Much more mutual understanding would be needed instead.

After Alexander left, Fiona appeared even more uneasy. “Alex, I’ll leave in the afternoon and won’t cause any trouble for you.”

Looking at her, Alexander knitted his brows. “The doctor wants you to stay a week for observation, but you’re saying now that you want to leave in the afternoon. Don’t you think that you’ll be causing trouble for me when the time comes and the doctor asks me where you are?”

The muscles on Fiona’s face froze at his words, and she had no idea how to reply to that.

Meanwhile, Alexander furrowed his brows, looking very unnatural, and the room slipped into silence for a long while. “Felipe is currently being held in custody. As he has quite a few cases against him, he would be given the death sentence. Do you have anything to say to him before the trial?” When Alexander mentioned Felipe, he didn’t mean to avoid it or hold back at all.

However, Fiona’s hands, which were fidgeting with the blanket, relaxed, and she said calmly, “No.”

Nothing remained as a secret, and since Alexander already knew the entire truth, it would look even more embarrassing if she pretended that she didn’t know anything and avoided the topic. So, she might as well just talk about it openly.

 

Alexander nodded. “Okay. Olly’s injuries aren’t serious, but he’s still unconscious because he’s running a high fever. Yesterday, he was transferred back to Melrose, and he’s now in the military hospital. If you don’t wish to stay here, you can also ask for a transfer and stay at the same hospital as him.”

Lifting her head up in surprise, she uttered, “W-What did you call him?”

She had never thought that Alexander would be willing to acknowledge Oliver as his brother and thought that it would be a blessing from Heaven if he was willing to regard him as merely a stranger.

Avoiding her gaze, he said, “No matter what, he’s Dad’s only son and Grandpa’s only grandson. In addition, he’ll inherit the Duncan Family in the future and be the successor of Sunhill Enterprise. I’ll be responsible for his life from now on.”
