Mr. CEO's Substitute Bride
Chapter 1533 - 1525: Wherever Your Gaze Falls, It Will Last Forever: Deeply Uncomfortable
He couldn’t help with the factory matters, but he could help take care of his sister-in-law.
Immediately, Joseph Lancaster promised earnestly, "Don’t worry, big brother, I will definitely take good care of Violet!"
Daxton Lancaster stood up, came over to face his brother, and patted his shoulder, "I entrust Violet to you, brother!"
"Hmm!" Joseph nodded firmly.
The naive young man thought that the "entrust" his brother Daxton spoke of was merely about helping to take care of his sister-in-law. It wasn’t until later that Joseph truly understood what this "entrust to you" meant.
Joseph hadn’t been there for more than ten minutes when his younger sister, Aurora Lancaster, also came by with a backpack on her shoulder, pushing the door open and poking her head in.
"Sister-in-law, I’m here to see you!"
Daxton walked over and opened the door wider, allowing Aurora with her backpack to come in.
Violet Zimmerman pulled up her lips in a smile, "Thank you."
"Sister-in-law, there’s no need to be so polite. I’m not an outsider," Aurora said as she removed the backpack from her shoulder, placing it on the empty hospital bed, and grabbed Joseph by the shoulder as he was peeling an apple, pulling him up.
"Peel over there, I’ll chat with sister-in-law for a while!"
"You, little girl, always so reckless!" Joseph was focused on peeling, and was suddenly pulled up by his sister. He stumbled back a few steps before regaining balance.
The fruit peel in his hand snapped, and he gave his sister a helpless look, sidling over to sit directly on Violet Zimmerman’s hospital bed.
Aurora dragged a chair over, sat by Violet’s bedside, and asked with concern, "Sister-in-law, does it hurt a lot?"
Violet forced a smile, "It’s okay."
"How is it okay? Look at you! Your eye is bruised, there’s a bandage on your head, and your arm is in a cast!"
Aurora, being young and a bit careless, spoke while reaching out, touching Violet’s bruised eye and forehead, then her bandaged arm.
These careless actions made Violet wince repeatedly, her forehead, eye corner, and arm hurting from the pinches.
"What are you doing, always so clumsy! Can’t you see sister-in-law is injured!" Joseph, who was peeling an apple, suddenly stood up from the bed, frowning and scolding his sister in displeasure.
Aurora pouted, speaking softly, "I forgot, okay? Besides, I’m just concerned about sister-in-law."
On another hospital bed, Daxton sitting by the edge tightened his eyes slightly at Joseph’s sudden anger, a flash of emotion quickly passing through his gaze.
Shooting his sister a glare, Joseph turned to his brother, "Big brother, didn’t you say you were leaving? Go now! Take this careless girl back, or she’ll make more trouble!"
Daxton took a deep breath, stood up, "Let’s go, Aurora, big brother is heading back. You can ride in big brother’s car."
In the past, Aurora would be overjoyed at the mention of riding in a car, but now she lifted her chin, stiffening her neck, and said to Joseph, "No! I’ve just come, haven’t talked enough with sister-in-law yet!"
"Big brother, take Aurora away, don’t let her disturb sister-in-law’s rest here!"
Seeing his brother’s serious attitude, Daxton once again tightened his eyes, came over to pat Aurora’s shoulder, "Come on, head back with big brother. The college entrance exams are next year, better start reviewing."
"I’m not going back!" Aurora pouted petulantly, "You all keep wanting me to go to college. What’s so great about college? I will still have to work at the company after graduating!"
"That’s different!" Daxton tightened his grip on his sister’s shoulder, feeling upset at being driven away by his brother, after all, the person lying in the hospital bed was his wife.
But Joseph’s reaction at the moment made it seem as if Violet was someone close to him, protecting her like an old bull shielding its calf.
This feeling made Daxton very uncomfortable.
