Forced to Marry a Female Billionaire CEO Novel - Chapter 98
Chapter 98: The Conversation with Sara
He understood that Cara definitely had no feelings for him.
However, he could not ignore the fact that he would pose a huge threat to the Williams family because he wanted to marry Cara.
At this moment…
“Mr. Stone…”
Hugh looked at Cole’s expression and called out to him.
Hugh did not want to say it.
Cole didn’t know anything and would easily fall into a disadvantageous position. It was better to be clear.
However, after seeing Cole’s calm expression, Hugh did not understand.
“What’s wrong?”
Cole was stunned.
…
“Aren’t you angry?” Hugh asked.
He thought that after he had shared that information, Cole’s face would turn dark or furious. However, after saying that, Hugh realized that Cole was frowning as if he was thinking about something.
Hearing this, Cole smiled and asked, “Why should I be angry?”
“Trent Wilson…”
Hugh thought that Cara did not allow him to tell Cole about this because she was afraid that Cole would get angry because of his love rival.
But from the looks of it…
That did not seem to be the case.
Cole shook his head and said seriously and firmly, “Cara likes me, and I like her. As for Trent Wilson, he can’t even be considered a supporting character in this relationship.
“If we’re really talking about being angry, I think the person who should be angry the most should be Trent Wilson.
“He’s the loser.”
Only when it came to matters of the heart would Cole unconsciously change the way he addressed Cara.
Stunned, Hugh then laughed. “I was thinking too much. I thought Miss didn’t want me to tell you because she was afraid you would be angry.”
He could not help but sigh…
Miss has not spent much time with Mr. Stone. Ever since they met, it has only been half a year. They have experienced things together for only about ten days.
However, their trust in each other is like an unbreakable foundation that can not be shaken.
“No.”
Cole smiled. “The reason Miss Williams doesn’t want you to tell me is probably that she’s afraid that I’ll think too much.”
Hugh was slightly stunned and nodded. “That makes sense.
“Alright, in that case, I won’t disturb your recovery.”
Hugh laughed.
“Okay.”
Cole nodded. “Thank you for protecting me at the door, Uncle Hugh.”
He had always known that Hugh was guarding him at the door.
“Not at all.”
Hugh smiled and said, “By the way, although there are confidentiality clauses in the life-or-death battle, other than the Yeager and the Hayes families, who know about you killing Simone Owens, the other families, including the Williams, don’t know the exact reason.
“But your name has already entered the sights of the upper echelons of the Martial Alliance.
“Even Xavier Cross has praised you in private with Miss.”
Cole did not expect Xavier Cross to praise him. He asked in confusion, “Did Alliance Master Xavier say anything?”
“Xavier Cross said that your horizontal training, hidden weapon techniques, and even the quality of your true energy are at the top of your age.”
Hugh continued, “Even with a mid-stage Postnatal realm cultivation, you have exceeded all your peers.”
This was the truth.
How could an ordinary person have a mid-stage Postnatal realm cultivation at the age of 25?
Practicing martial arts was something that accumulated over the years. From a young age, one had to train their muscles and bones to strengthen their foundation. When they got older, they would slowly achieve breakthroughs. Therefore, it was important to accumulate strength.
Martial artists like Melvin Young and Zen Slade were all in their forties.
Hugh and Simone Owens both were at least 60.
Therefore, this was also why Cole was called a genius.
Of course, there was another genius.
That was the 35-year-old Trent Wilson, who could firmly suppress Hugh.
“You flatter me.”
Cole was a little embarrassed by the praise.
“You live up to your name.”
Hugh nodded seriously and said, “Alright, Mr. Stone, I won’t disturb your rest anymore.”
“Okay.”
Cole nodded.
Hugh then left the ward.
Inside the ward, Cole closed his eyes and regulated his breathing.
Now that Trent Wilson was coming out, he had to increase his strength.
Cole was a little afraid when he had heard the news.
His strength was still restricted by the Medical Oath.
The treasure of dragon energy was ethereal. He did not know if he could find a second ring with dragon energy in his life.
Cole thought of how he had already reached the perfected Connate Realm three years ago and was speechless.
If he weren’t bound by the oath…
To be honest, Cole felt that he might immediately take a plane to get rid of Trent Wilson.
***
The next day.
The sun was shining brightly on the white bedsheets.
When Cole opened his eyes, he realized that he could move freely.
Although he had not recovered his combat ability, he could walk.
“I’m fine.”
Cole stretched his limbs and heaved a sigh of relief when he realized that there was really no hidden illness.
What he was most afraid of was not that Simone Owens would leave poison in his body, but that she would leave some fatal injuries in his body.
From the looks of it, everything in his body was normal.
When he walked around the bed twice, he suddenly saw the date on his phone.
“February fourteenth.”
Cole was stunned.
Valentine’s Day?
At this moment.
He heard a knock on the door. “Can I come in?”
Cole replied instinctively, “Come in.”
A pretty figure walked in with a thermos box.
It was Sara.
Cole’s eyes widened slightly. “Sara, why are you here?”
“Do you think I wanted to come?”
Sara rolled her eyes. “My sister forced me to come.”
“Also, I’m warning you not to call me Sara. I don’t know you well.”
“I’m seven years younger than you. I’m 28 years old. According to my age, you have to call me Sister Sara.”
Cole said seriously, “Okay, Sara.”
Sara was speechless.
She placed the thermos box in her hand beside Cole’s bed and said in a serious tone, “Sister Sara!”
“Okay, Sara.”
Sara gritted her teeth and said, “Forget it! Call me by my full name!”
Cole nodded and stopped teasing her.
Sara and Cara were two completely different people.
Perhaps, it was because Cara had stood up for her that Sara could appear more lively.
“You can come down and move around now?”
At this moment, Sara realized the problem.
“Yeah.”
When Sara received an affirmative answer, she was stunned. “Weren’t you half-dead yesterday?”
Cole did not know whether to laugh or cry. “Don’t exaggerate. I was just a little weak yesterday.”
“How did you train your body? Why are you so powerful?”
Sara asked curiously.
Such a tough body made Sara interested.
Cole said, “Do you want to train too?”
“A little.”
Sara was honest.
Cole pondered for a moment. “Then can you accept being beaten up all year round? The kind that will break your bones?”
Sara was speechless.
She shook her head. “I can’t. Isn’t there a gentler way?”
“Yes.”
Cole nodded. “You can bleed after soaking in a medicinal bath.”
Sara was speechless.
“Forget it! I’m different from a masochist like you.”
Cole smiled and thought of something. “By the way, can you do something for me, Sara?”
