Chapter 49 This Man Scared Bethany
In the afternoon, the doctor put an intravenous drip on Bethany. Compared to when she just woke up,
Bethany felt better now.
She still could not move in bed, so she could only rest with her eyes closed until she heard the sound
of footsteps outside the ward.
She thought it was Raymonding back, but it turned out to be the Shepards. Truth be told, she was
reluctant to see them to the core at the moment.
"Mr. Shepard, Mrs. Shepard." Although she was unhappy inwardly about their arrival, she had to greet
them out of courtesy.
"Don''t move, just lie down." Mrs. Shepard hurriedly put the fruit basket on the coffee table before going
to the bed. "I just heard about your ident. How did that happen? How are you feeling now? Did you
hurt seriously?" she said.
"I''m fine." Bethany said slowly, "I''ll recover after a rest cure for some time."
"Thank god, it''s not serious. I was worried sick." Mrs. Shepard uttered, "If you need anything during the
hospitalization, just let me know. Don''t stand on ceremony."
"Thank you, Mrs. Shepard."
The next second, Mrs. Shepard''s cell phone rang. To her surprise, it was a call from Nn.
Fearing that Karter would be angry to know, she hurriedly said, "Someone''s calling. I gotta go out to
answer it."
With that said, Mrs. Shepard hurried out of the ward, leaving only Bethany and Karter in the ward, As a
result, the atmosphere changed instantly.
"Why is Ray not here?" Karter looked around and said, "It''s weird he''s not here when you''re
hospitalized."
"He... He went out to run some errands."
Bethany knew that Karter was still angry with her for the previous matter. He might not be up to no
good to visit her, but he was definitely not here because of truly worrying about her.
"Mr. Shepard, thank you foring to see me here even though you are so busy." Bethany was still
powerless. It took her a lot of effort to speak.
"You are Ray''s fiancée, so you can be said to be my daughter-inw. I am supposed to pay a visit
here." Karter roughly sized her up before frowning. He then shook his head and said, "You seem to be
injured badly. How did the ident happen? Why were you so careless?"
When Karter said thest few words, his tone and his gaze sent chills down Bethany''s spine.
"Ray must have been with you in the hospital all this time, right?" Karter smiled unpleasantly.
"I''ve known him since his childhood. He has been independent and strong-minded since he was a kid."
Karter said.
"Actually, as a kid born with a silver spoon in his mouth, all he needed to do was study hard and inherit

the family business when he grew up. However, he chose to be a soldier in the army. " Karter
Ray was still young back then.
When a military officer took a fancy to him, he joined the army without hesitation. It can be said that he
grew up in the army. He had to do training apart from sses every day, but he was always persistent.
When his father died in his teens, he had two choices: one was toe back for the funeral, and the
other was to carry out his first military mission. He chose thetter.
In the end, the big family business was in the charge of his mother.
His mother begged him for many times toe back and help her run thepany, but he always
refused, which made his mother be an able businesswoman.
Karter daughter Aria, she has a crush to him when she was little. Since he became a soldier, she
foolishly waited for him.
When Ray was injured, she stayed by his side and took care of him. Although there were many men
pursuing Aria, she never took a look at them.
She has always wanted to marry Ray for more than 20 years.
"I thought no matter how heartless Ray was, Aria''s deep affection for him should have moved him, but I
waspletely wrong. Speaking of this, it seems that Ray is someone who will not care about his
family at all for the sake of his own faith. Karter sighed.
"For someone who only cares about his career, how is it possible for him to fall in love with a woman? It
turns out that I was really wrong." Karter said, "He not only fell in love with you but also beacme so
considerate. He seems to have be apletely different person now.
"Bethany, you are indeed something. How did you worm your way into his affections?" Karter asked.
Karter''s words were very sharp, so much so that Bethany felt a tingling feeling in her scalp; she could
clearly sense his hatred.
Right, hatred exactly!
"I don''t know..."
He said Raymond loved her? Impossible!
Raymond obviously hated her guts.
"Bethany, you''re capable to make him fall for you. I''m happy for you, but you lied to him. Your
rtionship won''t be able tost long. You know?"
With that, Karter gently patted the back of her hand with an IV needle inserted, and Bethany drew back
reflexively.
"Listen to the doctors and take the treatments. I''lle to see you again in a few days." As he spoke,
Karter stood up and looked at her condescendingly.
In just a few seconds, Bethany could perceive a strong sense of pressure.
At the same time, Mrs. Shepard ran into the yard and picked up Nn''s call. "Hello, Nn."
"Mom, are you avable? I''ll treat you to dinner tonight, and Damion will be with us, too. You two
haven''t seen each other for a long time. Why not take the opportunity to get close to him?"
It was the weekend, and Tyrone had been asking Nn to take him to hang out, so Nn thought of
inviting his mother as well.
"I''m afraid I cannot make it today. I''m still in the hospital. You can just hang out with Damion."
"In the hospital?" Nn asked in a hurry, "Why are you in the hospital? Are you not feeling well?"
"No, Bethany had a car ident, and your father dragged me here to see her."
"To see Bethany?" Nn was a little puzzled. "What does her ident have to do with you two?
Besides, a visit is inappropriate now based on her current condition. After all..."
Thud!
Hearing the noise, Nn looked towards Tyrone at once, only to see that all the toys in his hands had
fallen to the ground. It was obvious that he had nned to take the toys with them.
"All right, Mom, I have to hang up. Talk to youter."
Nn had tried his best not to let the kid know about Bethany''s incident. Unexpectedly, thetter heard
their conversation.
"What did you just say?" When Tyrone heard that Bethany had a car ident, he was shocked to the
core. "You said Beth was in a car ident?"
"No... When did I say that?" Nn immediately yed dumb. "You must have misheard me. What I
said is..."
"I definitely heard it right. You did say she was in a car ident." Tyrone was so fraught that his eyes
were instantly teary. He asked anxiously, "Which hospital? Take me there, take me there now!"
It was impossible for Nn to keep it a secret now. He had no choice but to take Tyrone to the hospital.
Meanwhile, Raymond had rushed back to the hospital before it got dark. When he went into the ward
and saw fruit baskets as well as fresh flowers, he asked the special nurse, "Who came here?"
"Oh, they seem to be the Shepards. I heard Ms. Caldwell call them Mr. Shepard and Mrs. Shepard."
The Shepards?
Raymond gestured for the nurse to go out. After she was out, Raymond asked, "The Shepards have
been here?"
Bethany nodded. Shafts of fear still ran through her at the thought of what Karter said and his gaze.
At this time, Nn also hurtled to the hospital as he was constantly urged by Tyrone. Since there were
so many cars, there was no empty parking space at all.
No sooner did the care to a halt than Tyrone jump out of the car regardless of how Nn stopped
him. As a result, Nn had to continue to look for a parking space himself.
Tyrone ran all the way to where Bethany''s ward was. He was about to open the door when he suddenly
heard Bethany speaking to Raymond.
Therefore, he stood outside to listen to their conversation.
