Chapter 149 You Can’t Betray Your Friend
“Cherry didn’t confess anything
Karen said indifferently, “I just feel that based on my impression of Ms. Wilson, you are not someone who
would do such a thing. After all, you don’t have a motive, and it’s not worth it.”
Shirley snorted, “Yeah, I don’t have a motive, and it’s not worth it. You can understand such obvious
reasoning, but Braden does not.”
“Braden has a simple personality. He doesn’t understand how complicated people are.”
“Yes, he is as simple as an idiot.”
The two of them couldn’t help but smile at each other.
Keith was lying on the hospital bed. One of his legs was hung in a cast. He couldn’t move at all. He was
in a very sorry state and was very agitated.
Seeing Karen and Shirley come in, he seemed to have grasped onto a life–saving straw. “You two came
at the right time. Hurry up and get me out of here. This place is like a prison. I can’t stay here for even a
minute.”
Karen frowned and said seriously, “Your legs are broken. You need rest. Be quiet.”
“I can’t be quiet!”
Keith knocked on the bedboard with his arm and said gloomily, “I need strangers to help me eat and
drink now. It makes me too embarrassed. The most annoying thing is that I want to play a game. But the
nurses won’t allow it. Don’t you think it’s torture for me?
“No, no, I have to leave here. No matter what you say, I have to leave the hospital immediately!”
“Well…”
Karen couldn’t help but be worried.
Karen knew Keith well. No one could persuade Keith. Once he decided to do something, no one
could stop Keith.
“Don’t move!”
Shirley suddenly shouted.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtKeith was like a naughty child who suddenly quieted down and looked at Shirley with a stunned
expression.
Shirley slowly poured a glass of water and said unhurriedly, “You are already a mature adult. Don’t be
headstrong. If you think that it is inconvenient for strangers to serve you, let me do it later.”
After speaking, Shirley naturally put the glass of water to Keith’s lips. She was strong and said gently,
“Drink some water. Your lips are a bit dry.”
Keith looked at Shirley with a complicated expression.
He didn’t move for a while, and the atmosphere was tense.
Karen immediately broke into a sweat.
After all, these two people had never been on good terms. If they argued, it would be a world war.
“1…”
Just as Karen was about to smooth things over, something incredible happened.
Keith obediently lowered his head and took a sip of water. Then, he honestly said, “Thank you. I’m
very thirsty.”
Like a queen, Shirley looked down at Keith. “Do you still want to mess around?”
“I won’t.”
“Are you still going to be discharged?”
“No.”
“Very good.”
Shirley nodded and said to the trembling nurse outside the door, “Aren’t you going to give him the
injection? You can come over and start.”
It was strange. Keith, who had just been clamoring to leave the hospital and did not cooperate with the
nurse to apply for the medicine, suddenly became obedient. No matter how the nurse acted, he
did not complain.
When Karen saw the whole process, he was so shocked that he couldn’t speak for a long time.
Karen asked Shirley in a low voice, “How did you do that? He is famous for his stubbornness in Seatle
City. Besides his father, no one can persuade him. Why is he so quiet all of a sudden?”
Shirley smiled faintly, and she flicked her hair charmingly. “It’s probably because of my charisma.”
After the nurse applied the medicine to Keith, she left the ward.
Shirley turned to Keith and said, “If there’s nothing else, just have a good rest.”
“But I still want to…”
Keith looked at Shirley and hesitated if he should resist. He looked pitiful.
“You want to play games? No!”
Shirley’s attitude was as domineering as a teaching director’s.
“Humph, I see. I can’t!”
Keith was so angry that he covered his head with the quilt and fell asleep.
His fierce and timid look was inexplicably cute.
When he heard that Shirley was going to leave, he quickly took off the quilt and asked from afar, “Shirley,
you just said that you would take care of me. Is that true?”
“Of course it’s true.”
Shirley did not hesitate and replied, “You saved my life. Of course, I’ll take care of you.
“But I don’t have much patience. If you don’t cooperate like before, I will beat you up!”
“Don’t worry. As long as you are the one who takes care of me, I will cooperate.”
After Keith finished speaking, he lay down and slept peacefully.
Karen watched all this with a complicated expression.
“Mr. Whelan, I’m going to the nearby supermarket to buy some food for this guy. Are you coming
with me?”
Shirley asked Karen.
When Shirley said that she wanted to take care of Keith, it wasn’t just comforting him. She really wanted
to take good care of him to repay him for saving her life.
“You go first. I still have some things to say to Keith.”
“Alright.”
Shirley didn’t gossip about anything and left happily.
Karen came to Keith’s bed and removed the quilt covering his head. Karen said seriously, “What are you
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmdoing, Keith?”
Keith was about to fall asleep when he was suddenly woken up. He looked confused. “What’s wrong,
Karen? You haven’t left yet?”
Karen didn’t look good. He said coldly, “Don’t play dumb. Tell me the truth. What happened between you
and Ms. Wilson?”
“What happened?”
Keith said in detail, “I went to her house. Her house was on fire. I saved her and my leg was injured…”
“That’s it?”
“Yes, that’s it!”
“Why do I feel that you are…”
“No, not at all!‘
Keith’s reaction was very strong, and he denied it with all his might, “I have no interest in her at all. You
know what kind of women I like. Even if there are no women in this world, it is impossible for me to be
interested in her!
“She and I are just friends. You know that if it wasn’t for her, Jim wouldn’t have helped me in that case. I
was polite to her because I owed her a favor.”
Keith still wanted to explain, but Karen waved his hand. “Alright. You don’t have to explain anymore. You
just need to remember in your heart.
“She’s a woman who you can’t love… You can’t betray your friend. You know this.”
The atmosphere suddenly became a bit strange.
Keith, who had always respected Karen, showed a mocking expression. “Karen, I am not as stupid.
as you think. I know what I am doing. I will never cross the boundaries that should not be crossed.
As for you… Do you know that we can’t betray our friends?”
Karen lowered his head. His handsome and refined face was full of regret. “It’s good that it. I am a wrong
example. You have to learn from it. I don’t want the three of us to fall of a woman again!”
“I know!”
Keith said casually, “It’s just casual talk. There’s no need to be so serious.”
As the two of them were talking, Braden pushed open the door and entered…
