Chapter 74: She Is My Friend
As soon as the name was uttered, it happened to be heard by Xenos, who was passing by. Xenos subconsciously stopped, looked Elvis up and down, and finally asked the assistant behind him.
“This is the family member?”
The assistant quickly said, “There was a car accident patient just now. He seemed to be a female celebrity named Kristen. He was the one who sent her here.”
Xenos looked at her in surprise. “What did you say? Kristen?”
The assistant nodded.
“She’s the Kristen who took part in a variety show called Meet You In Summer.”
Xenos could no longer sit still.
“Take me there to have a look.”
The assistant quickly led Xenos to Kristen’s ward. Xenos looked through the window and saw that it was indeed Kristen. He thought that his boss treated Kristen like a treasure. Now that Kristen was lying here, he wondered if Ethan knew about it.
“Send her to the VIP ward immediately and block the news. Don’t let it be spread, especially not to the media.”
“Got it.”
Then, Xenos called Ethan.
Ethan rushed to the hospital as soon as he heard that Kristen had been in a car accident.
“What’s going on?”
Seeing Ethan panic, Xenos hurriedly comforted him. “Ethan, Kristen’s condition has stabilized. Don’t worry, our hospital will use the best medical methods to treat her. She will definitely be fine.”
Ethan’s eyes darkened.
“What is going on?”
Xenos didn’t know, either. He only knew that a strange man had taken her here during a car accident.
When Elvis returned to the ward after handling the admission procedures, he saw that the ward was full of people. Out of instinct, Elvis did not go forward, but stood in the corner to observe the situation.
Elvis watched as Kristen was transferred out of the ward.
This was the first time he had seen Ethan. Intuition told him that this man was not a simple person. What confused him even more was the relationship between this man and Kristen.
“Go check the driving records and the surveillance of that section of the road,” Ethan ordered.
“Yes, sir.” After saying that, Jacob turned around and left.
In the ward, Ethan was guarding Kristen. He had already returned to the villa and saw everything that Kristen had prepared for him… He had not expected that Kristen would prepare to celebrate his birthday for him.
Since he was a child, he had never known what it felt like to celebrate his birthday. This day, which he had resisted for more than 20 years, was like a nightmare.
Ethan reached out hand and held Kristen’s hand tightly.
“Thank you, Kristen.”
Kristen didn’t know how long she had slept. When she regained consciousness, all she saw was whiteness. The air was mixed with the smell of disinfectant, and she subconsciously resisted the strange environment.
Kristen moved her hand. The next second, she felt a sharp pain on the back of her hand and gasped.
“You’re awake?” A figure stepped forward and Ethan looked at her nervously.
Kristen looked up and the images of the car accident flashed through her mind. She immediately covered her head.
“What’s wrong with me? Why does my head hurt so much?”
Ethan called the doctor in a hurry. “It’s okay. Don’t worry. The doctor will be here soon.”
Xenos rushed over and examined Kristen.
“Fortunately, there are no other serious injuries to the body, only a slight concussion in the head. You have to have a good rest for a period of time.”
Kristen’s memories surfaced bit by bit. Only then did she remember that she had left home in anger and got into a car accident.
“Ethan, where did you go that day?” Kristen was eager to know the answer. His phone was turned off all day, but he appeared with Kara the next day. It was hard not to think about it.
Ethan raised his eyebrows slightly and sat down in front of her. He pursed his lips as if he was thinking about how to talk to her. In the end, he only said, “When you have recovered, I will take you to a place, where all the answers are.”
Kristen asked curiously, “Where is it?”
Ethan said, “It’s a secret for now.”
Kristen let out a nonchalant reply and continued asking, “What’s your relationship with your assistant kara?”
When Kristen asked this, she didn’t found that there was a trace of jealousy in her tone. Ethan thought of Kristen’s abnormality and smiled.
“She’s my assistant. I’m her boss. That’s all.”
Kristen was not very satisfied with the answer.
“Is that all? Is there nothing else?”
Ethan looked at her with a serious expression. “What else do you think?”
Kristen replied placidly, “Since you are superior and inferior, why are you two so intimate?”
Ethan finally understood.
“Kristen, are you jealous?”
His words stabbed into Kristen’s heart and she denied subconsciously, “No, I didn’t.”
Unexpectedly, Ethan didn’t want to listen to her excuses at all. He directly pulled her into his embrace and hugged her tightly.
“Anyway, I can feel your concern. Since you think that my relationship with her is unusual, I will let Jacob arrange for her to leave the top floor of the office from today on.”
Kristen’s face was full of disbelief. “Are you telling the truth?”
Ethan smiled dotingly, rubbing her nose, saying, “That’s right.”
Kristen was very satisfied with the result and a big smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
This scene was witnessed by Elvis, who was outside the door. Elvis vaguely understood something.
“Who are you? What are you doing here?”
Xenos’s voice suddenly sounded behind him. Then Xenos walked up to Elvis. The two men with the same momentum stood together. For a moment, the winner couldn’t be decided.
Xenos suddenly remembered when he saw Elvis’s face.
“Are you the man who sent Kristen here?”
Elvis neither admitted nor denied it. Xenos made a judgment. “Is this accident related to you?”
Elvis looked at him coldly and said in a cold tone.
“What do you mean by that?”
Xenos said, “If it has nothing to do with you, why did you send Kristen to the hospital?”
Elvis then pointed to Kristen inside and said, “She’s my friend. If you don’t believe me, you can ask her.”
Xenos held a shred of doubt in his heart. At this moment, the door opened and Ethan stood at the door.

Elvis crossed his arms in front of his chest and looked at Ethan. A man’s taste in men was most accurate. Elvis knew at a glance that Ethan in front of him was not a simple man.
Xenos said, “He said he’s Kristen’s friend.”
