The Heir's Secret Bride

Chapter 66

At the same time, outside the intensive care unit at First Hospital, Karen looked at the phone after hanging up. She was deep in thought, but still quickly deleted Maeve's messages and missed calls. There were dozens of them. Maeve was really persistent and had no sense of boundaries. At this moment, a deep and cold voice suddenly sounded from behind Karen. "Who allowed you to touch my phone?" Karen's hand trembled. She couldn't delete the last missed call.

imately after, Byron took back his phone.

looked slightly nervous. "B-Byron, something happened at the company, so Mr. Bax went back first. He asked me to hold on to your phone for you and return it to you when you come out of the washroom..." Karen's father had a sudden cerebral infarction last night and was sent to the hospital. She asked Byron for help before he left the company. Byron was a a very sentimental ental man. Patrick had only taken him in for a few years. Until now, Byron had not forgotten this kindness and had stayed vigil outside the ward since last night. He only had time to go to the washroom just now. Karen couldn't help but be curious and secretly unlocked Byron's phone to take a look. Byron never set a password, so she easily saw Maeve's messages. She didn't expect to be caught by Byron. Byron ignored Karen. He glanced at the phone screen and saw Maeve's name. His eyes gradually darkened, Byron had been busy with Patrick's hospitalization since last night and getting someone to contact a professional neurological medical team from overseas. So much so that when he saw Maeve's call, he remembered that he had forgotten to tell her to postpone the meal. But Maeve had only called once. Perhaps she thought he was still busy and did not want to disturb him. Byron frowned and turned to leave.

"Wait, Byron. Where are you going?" Karen hurriedly stopped Byron. "Dad hasn't woken up yet. I'm a little afraid to be here alone..." She could not believe that he would leave at this time after here for almost a full day. Byron stopped in his tracks and looked at Karen. "There are professional doctors and nurses here to take care of him. Patrick will be fine." "But-

"Also, Byron interrupted coldly, "I hope you remember that you're only a secretary. It doesn't allow you to check my phone without permission during non-working hours. This is something that only my wife is qualified to do." Karen's face turned pale. "I-I didn't do it on purpose. I saw your maid calling and you weren't around, so...

"So you told her not to disturb us?" Byron's gaze was sharp. "Karen, I'm here because of your father. I hope this doesn't happen again."

Tears welled up in Karen's eyes at his words. "You're warning me because of a maid? Is my relationship with you, after all these years, not as close as hers?"

Byron's eyes did not waver at all. "It has nothing to do with who it is. You crossed the line today."
