Chapter 213: Chapter 168 Don’t Try to Challenge Me 1

Faye gave Roman Hughes a side-eye as he howled, "What’s got into you? What did she deceive you about? Money or lust?

When it comes to lust, aren’t you the one who dupes others?"

"You little brat, can you even talk properly? Stay here, I’m heading out for a bit."

Roman Hughes, wearing his white coat, vanished from her sight instantly.

Faye stuck out her tongue, seemingly realizing his urgency.

Roman Hughes indeed was in a rush. After returning to his office, he immediately dug out the X-ray Sebastian Sheldon took last night.

He placed the X-ray on the light box and after a careful look, his face changed considerably.

To be deceived by a woman like this, truly, he felt utterly foolish.

Grinding his teeth, he tapped his fingers lightly on the desk. Before long, he found the contact number for the partner hospital in the United Kingdom.

After reaching the orthopedic nurses’ station, he asked the nurse there to help check the records for a patient named Sebastian Sheldon.

The nurse searched for a long time but found no medical records for Sebastian Sheldon; however, her English name did have some recorded visits.

But they were all for treatments like IV drips for minor illnesses; no records for orthopedic treatments.

After hanging up the phone, Roman Hughes’s gaze fell again on the X-ray of Sebastian Sheldon on the light box.

Sebastian Sheldon claimed she was frequently subject to domestic violence, including the last time he saw her in the UK when her right arm was wrapped in heavy bandages.

He had seen the X-ray she brought to the hospital back then; the bones indeed were severely marked, with signs of old injuries and fresh tears alike.

She was supposed to be there for surgery, but the bandages were already set.

At that time, he hadn’t thought twice about it, he really was foolish to the core.

Looking at the current X-ray on the light box, the right arm indeed had a slight fracture, but all the previous old injury marks were gone.

Unless she took an elixir from a deity, it could only mean Sebastian Sheldon switched arms.

This X-ray was personally taken by him with her, so there could be no tampering, but he couldn’t be sure about the last one.

She didn’t even have hospital records there, so how did she manage to have surgery there?

Roman Hughes whistled; good thing he was smart enough, otherwise, he’d be played for a fool.

He leaned back, but from this perspective, Sebastian Sheldon was indeed exceptionally shrewd.

To call her clever would be less fitting than calling her cunning.

How did she know he was going to the United Kingdom at that particular time?

She even found out about his consulting schedule at the hospital, appearing not too early or too late, just when he was about to operate.

She deliberately asked him about Hunter and Faye Townsend, letting him say their relationship wasn’t going well, only to use his words later as a pretext to break them apart.

Truly... a scheme worked out with precision.

Wasn’t she afraid that he might’ve said Hunter and Faye were doing very well at the time?

Wouldn’t that have foiled her scheme?

Thinking along these lines, the heart of a woman is truly terrifying.

Roman Hughes hadn’t left the ward for long when the door subtly opened once more.

Faye thought, today she was truly popular, as if this ward had turned into a public space.

She looked up towards the door, and when her eyes met the face of a man holding roses and looking at her with a mischievous grin, Faye’s heart involuntarily tightened.

"Faye, it’s been a while." The man stepped forward slowly.

Faye nervously gripped her phone tightly.

The man walked up to her, cradling the roses in one arm, and with the other gently raised, touched her head.

Faye tilted her head slightly to avert him, her eyebrows tightly furrowed.

This Roman Hughes, when he wasn’t needed, he’d pop by a hundred times a day.

When he was needed, he simply wouldn’t show up at all.

"Faye, why’s your face so pale? After all these years, are you still afraid when you see me?"

As he spoke, he placed his hand on her head, gently stroking the back of her head.

Faye shifted sideways slightly, "Big brother, long time no see, but I’m not a child anymore, this kind of overly familiar greeting is a bit inappropriate."

"Oh? Seems like that’s true, my dear has grown up, not a child anymore."

He handed her the flowers, withdrawing his hand to sit by the bed.

"Heard you had an upset stomach, how careless of you.

Even if my dear brother isn’t worried, I am, and you have always known that."
