Chapter 166


    Yan was stunned, as if suddenlying back to his senses. His eyes quickly cleared of the blurred


    emotions, reced by disgust


    “Im not your brother!”


    Pushing Lanny away, he stepped back and looked at her with hatred in his eyes.


    “Your brother is that scoundrel. I don’t have any rtionship with you!”


    Lanny, used to the sight of his overflowing hatred, had no reaction


    Yan’s disgust was only heightened by her serenity. He stepped forward, seized her puffy face, and


    ground his teeth as he dered, “Lanny, if you’re so eager to learn from that scoundrel and follow

    Sebastian, then let’s keep ying our childhood game from now on…”


    Lanny’s bones trembled upon hearing that he wanted to continue the game of childhood, yet she


    stubbornly disyed a look that refused to concede defeat.


    Yan raised hus hand and pped her. “If you give me that look again, don’t be surprised if I find


    someone to hurt you!”


    The man’s strength was far superior to the woman’s, causing Lanny’s blood to instantly flow from the


    corner of her mouth.


    Without a sound, she turned her head and gently touched her swollen cheek.


    She knew how to resist, but the punishment for doing so would be more painful than theing of age


    ceremony itself. She dropped her gaze, nced at her feet, and murmured. “It’s alright if you find


    someone toy hands on me again. I’ve already had my uterus taken out…”


    Yan took a deep breath, suppressing theplicated emotions that shed through his mind.


    “You deserve it! Who asked you to get pregnant with that dog and refuse to abort it


    Lanny quirked the corner of her mouth and smiled sadly. “You know my uterus is fragile. If you


    terminate the pregnancy, it could cost me my life….


    However, Yan scoffed, “Isn’t it good to die?!”


    Lanny, upon hearing this again, showed no reaction; it was as if she had heard too much and had


    be numb.


    No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t forget the memory of Yan performing an abortion and a


    crudely done suturing job on her.


    Although she managed to save her life, she had been infected and could only survive by having her


    uterus removed.


    His silence made Yan inexplicably irritated. “Why aren’t you speaking up? Don’t you usually love to


    challenge me?”


    Lanny’s eyes were devoid of emotion, as if she had already let go of her past grievances, something


    that Yan found unforgivable


    “Since you have nothing to say, then wait and observe. I will inform you of the consequences should


    you betray the Baber family!”


    He uttered these words, spun around, and flung open the door to exit.


    Lanny’s beautiful eyes held a trace of indifference as she watched his back.


    She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, then pulled the chair from behind the desk and


    settled on it.


    Despite being beaten to the point of bleeding, she remained arrogantly aloof, as if nothing had


    urred.


    When Scarlett entered, she found Lanny with an expressionless face, her demeanor cold yet stoic, as if


    she had been trained to bear anything


    When she firstid eyes on Yan emerging, her face was full of resentment, in stark contrast to the


    cheerful demeanour she had seenst time. It was clear that the two had a deep-seated animosity.


    Scarlett, being tactful, refrained from asking what their rtionship was and instead took out the


    medicine to relieve swelling and pain and handed it to her.


    “Dr. Richard, please hurry and apply it. You look so beautiful, it’s such a pity if it left a scar.”


    Scarlett felt a pang of sorrow in her heart upon seeing the wound on Lanny’s face, feeling as though


    Lanny was enduring beating in her sterad.


    “Thank you”


    Lanny applied the medicine to her face, ncing at Scarlett who was trying to appear unaffected.


    “Do you know Yan


    She and Dev had a close rtionship, and Yan was Dev’s good friend, so they must have known each


    other.


    Scarlett nodded in acknowledgement, respecting Lanny’s privacy and refraining from asking any further


    questions.


    However, Lanny felt that it was nothing She dered, “He is my brother, though not by blood. I lived in


    his house for a der ade and referred to him as my brother, along with my cousin. But I still have a


    strong resentment towards him”
