The Billionaire's Genius Wife

The sight of Nicole in her lap, lying motionless with her face as pale as paper, like there was no more blood under her skin, made Scarlett tremble with fear.

She could imagine how terrifying this little girl would be, to the point where she decided to end her life.  She slashed her wrists until unconscious because she almost ran out of blood.

If Nicole didn't get help soon, Scarlett was sure this girl could get into big trouble. Her life might be in danger. She could feel Nicole's pulse getting weaker.

All the way to the hospital, Scarlett didn't say anything. She just silently hold her tears while praying that Nicole would survive.

Heading to the hospital, which only took a few minutes, felt like an eternity for Scarlett.

"Can you drive fast, James?" She had forgotten how many times she had asked James to speed up.

"Two minutes, ma'am..." James replied without batting his eyelashes as he stepped on the gas deeper.

Scarlett didn't say a word. She was busy praying that God would give Nicole a chance to live.

And when the paramedics took Nicole from her lap, it was only then that she felt her soul return to her body.

She immediately got out of the car and quickly followed the paramedics, who took Nicole to the emergency room.

Her mind was only on Nicole. She was utterly oblivious to the reaction of the people who saw her in shock.

"Miss, sorry... you are not allowed to enter. Please immediately register the patient at registration, and you can wait in the waiting room..." said the chubby nurse politely and closed the door in front of her.

Scarlett's body was limp, and her head suddenly felt dizzy. At this moment, her mind was utterly messed up. She didn't know what to do.

She can feel there's anger and sadness in her heart.

"Scarlett…" Xander's voice could bring Scarlett back to her senses. She turned around to see Xander beside her.

Instantly she couldn't control her emotions anymore. She stretched out her arms and wrapped them around Xander's waist, pressing her face into his chest as she cried to release her sadness.

"Xander, can the doctor help Nicole??" Scarlett's voice was barely audible as she spoke between her sobs.

He was taken aback by her action to throw her body into him. A smile appeared on his lips as he pressed his chin against the top of her head and gently stroked her back, speaking dotingly, "Don't be afraid and sad. Your sister will be safe..."

She didn't answer his words but she just nodded her head slightly.

"Alright, now we must go to the VIP ward room to wait..." He took her hand and led her toward the elevator after ordering James to take care of all the paperwork.

"Xander, can we just wait here?" Scarlett asked. She wanted to wait here to be the first to know about Nicole's condition.

"You can, but now you have to change clothes first!" Xander glanced at her fearful appearance; all her clothes were almost covered with blood. He was sure anyone who saw her in this state could conclude that she was seriously injured.

Only now did Scarlett realize how terrible she looked. And for some reason seeing her body covered in blood made her knees feel weak, almost tripping.

She wasn't afraid of blood but realized everyone saw her with a strange expression. It made her want to disappear from that place.

How could she not notice it?

Scarlett followed Xander to the VVIP room on the top floor without saying anything. It felt surreal, his hand still holding hers until they reached the wardroom.

Her mind was so busy thinking about Nicole that she forgot what she was doing before; hugging this man so tight, holding hands, talking intimately.

Instantly she lost her ability to talk. She could only swallow hard in silence.

Now they were the only ones in the room holding hands. And they stand so close. Scarlett could hear his heart beating hard and fast, just like hers.

And slowly, she feels her cheeks warm.

She could only lower her head to hide her blushing cheeks while watching Xander's hands entwined with hers. She started worrying because her greedy heart slowly liked this intimate contact.

"Scarlett..."

"Hmm…" She slowly raised her head and saw his gentle eyes smiling at her.

"Meanwhile, you can wear this hospital gown while waiting for Logan to bring your suitcase..."

Scarlett received the hospital gown and quickly stepped into the bathroom. She had to calm her racing heart.

She was shocked when she saw her reflection in the mirror; her blushing face was almost like a boiled shrimp.

She splashed cold water to bring her face back to normal.

But...

It didn't take long for her flushed face to disappear. When she saw the blood on her cloth, her expression slowly changed from embarrassed to scared.

Her red face turned pale as fear hit her again — afraid that her stupid sister couldn't be helped.

"Stupid Nicole! You have to survive. I'll be mad at you if you don't return to me healthy." She muttered under her breath and started to take off her clothes.

She could see her reflection in the mirror, her eyes flickering with intense emotion. Slowly the memories hidden in the depths of her heart erupted and made her head ache terribly. This smell of blood completely opened up the memories she had begun to forget.

Scarlett quickly walked under the shower, turned on the water at full speed, and rubbed her whole body with a lot of soft soap.

She had to eliminate the smell of blood clinging to her before she felt addicted to blood like she used to be.

Meanwhile outside...

After seeing the bathroom door closed, Xander immediately took his cell phone and called his lawyer.

"Where are you?"

"Ottawa..."

"I need you to return and fly to B Island ASAP. Someone is making my woman cry. I want them to stay in prison forever!!" He said coldly.
