Taking Back What My Sister Stole novel Chapter 185

She looked at him quietly, his pale face was indeed full of exhaustion.

“Does it make a difference?”

Wesley looked as if he’d been dealt a heavy blow, his eyes dimming.

Cecilia found it laughable. “You keep everything from me, saying it’s because you don’t want me to worry, but then you expect me to worry about you.”

She paused, her tone tinged with sarcasm.

“You even let Larissa blame me, thinking I don’t care enough about you. Wesley, don’t you think you’re being a bit of a hypocrite?”

For a moment, Wesley was at a loss for words.

He thought that since she was pregnant, he didn’t want her to worry, but after she found out, he wanted her concern.

He knew he was being unreasonable.

But he couldn’t help himself.

Cecilia stood by the door, her expression cold and distant. “Wesley, you’ve never lacked my concern.”

She left without another word.

Outside, Elijah was still waiting.

When he saw her come out, he looked a bit helpless. “I only just found out myself. Ms. Wilburn ordered all the assistants in the office not to

disclose Mr. Carlton’s collapse to anyone, including me.”

It was only because someone secretly messaged him that he found out and notified Cecilia.

He hadn’t expected to walk in on such a misleading scene.

Cecilia said coolly, “That’s her cleverness–doing things under the guise of caring for others, so no one can find fault, and anyone who objects becomes the unreasonable one.”

After three years in the Wilburn family, she was well acquainted with Larissa’s tactics.

Elijah sighed. His original intention had been to give Mr. Carlton and his wife more opportunities to spend time together.

“Take good care of him,” Cecilia instructed, bidding Elijah farewell as she walked away.

She had only taken a few steps when she ran into Larissa, who was talking to a doctor.

Larissa walked over.

She was dressed in a smart business suit, her long hair sleekly draped over her shoulders.

Cecilia walked right past her.

But Larissa stopped, her tone tinged with provocation. “Cecilia, how much patience do you think he has left for you?”

Cecilia met her gaze calmly, her expression unruffled. “If you were really that capable, your best friend would have taken her place by now. Too bad she failed.”

Larissa’s face instantly darkened.

Juniper had already been forcibly taken abroad by Johan.

Amelia had also been taken to the mansion by Frank. Even when Larissa called her to tell her about Wesley’s collapse, she couldn’t get

out.

Larissa realized she had underestimated Cecilia.

No, she had underestimated Cecilia’s influence over Wesley.

“Cecilia, don’t get cocky. Even if he likes you now, the position of Mrs. Carlton will never be yours.”

Cecilia’s lips curled with a hint of disdain. “It’s not a position I want anyway.”

She walked away without looking back.

Larissa’s eyes turned vicious.

When Cecilia returned to Chaston Villa and had just entered the door, a servant pushed a suitcase over to her.

Soon after, Elijah and the driver arrived in the courtyard.

Elijah directed the driver to load the suitcase into the car, then said to Cecilia, “Mr. Carlton hopes you’ll accompany him at the hospital.”

Cecilia refused, “I’m pregnant. I need to rest.”

Larissa was already there with him–why should she go and make things difficult for herself?

Elijah replied respectfully, “Everything at the hospital has been arranged. You won’t be overexerted.”

Cecilia knew she had no choice but to go.

She got into the car, fuming. That damned man just loved to torment her.

Over an hour later, she was once again in front of Wesley.

Wesley was still propped up against the headboard, a stack of processed documents at his side.

He looked up at her, his gaze slightly cold.

The suitcase was set aside, and Elijah quickly left.

Cecilia was displeased. “I could hire a nurse for you.”

Besides, he was just a bit weak, nothing serious–he didn’t need anyone to stay with him.

“I have hands and feet. There’s no need.”

“Then why do you want me here?” Cecilia was clearly unhappy.

“To be my mascot.” Wesley’s tone was flat. He nodded at the suitcase with his chin. “I had the servants pack for you. Check if anything’s missing and have them send it over.”

Cecilia stood with her arms crossed, asking coolly, “How long do I have to stay here?”

“As long as I’m here, you’re here.”

“I’m pregnant. I can’t get used to staying in a hospital.”

She refused to stay there.

“I’m undergoing stem cell mobilization these days. Are you sure you can’t get used to it?” Wesley precisely targeted Cecilia’s weak spot.
