Married to a Secret Billionaire (Stella Taylor)

Chapter 80 Here Came His Sister

Oliver shrugged. "I don't know. I can't gather much information about your family.

"But your grandfather has been moody lately. He sent people to Bramore to secretly investigate the five major consortia owned by your grandfather on your mother's side, and it seems like he quarreled with your father after he came back..."

Liam's face darkened, and his lips curled slightly.

His grandfather had always called the shots in the Martinez family, and he was particularly suspicious. Although he didn't trust Christopher, if Christopher said something to him, it would still have some influence.

"In that case," Caleb wrinkled his brow and said, "Noah, you'd better find time to return to Emberfall and have a proper explanation with your grandfather. I guess he might be upset about your engagement to the Kent family."

"Forget it!" Oliver said with glee, "You should just stay in Eldoria and not arouse suspicion from Stella! Ha-ha, if you bring Gwen here, it'll be troublesome!"

Caleb coughed violently.

It was better not to mention that.

"I know what I'm doing." Liam pinched his brow, feeling a bit tired.

Quick-witted, Caleb hurriedly bid farewell and left with Oliver.

Liam lay on the bed alone, feeling tired, but he could not fall asleep. The pain from his injuries seemed to be lingering.

It reminded him of the plane crash, and he almost thought he wouldn't survive.

However, he toughed it through.

A person who had nearly died understood the meaning of rebirth from the ashes. In the past, he wasn't very interested in the title of the Martinez family heir, but now he decided to give it his all. Only by standing in the highest position could he protect the people he wanted to protect...

Liam sighed heavily. As soon as he closed his eyes, Stella's figure would appear in his mind.

During Liam's stay in the hospital, Stella was busy shuttling between the hospital and their home. At the same time, she had to work.

After Aiden finished the detailed examination for Liam, he smiled and said, "Your physical foundation is indeed good. If an ordinary person suffered injuries like yours, they would have to stay in bed for three months!"

"So, can I be discharged now?" Liam asked as he dressed.

"I think so." Aiden pondered for a moment. "You can go home and recuperate. It will save Stella from running back and forth. If you have any problems, just call me." Liam smiled gratefully and patted his shoulder.

Although not as close as Oliver and Caleb, who grew up with him together, Aiden was also a good person in his life. The friendship forged in difficulties was precious. Aiden went to check on other wards, and Liam was preparing to pack up and leave the hospital in the afternoon.

Just then, he heard a rustling sound outside the door.

He paused, and the sound of the door clicking was clear, and the footsteps approached.

If it were Stella, she would have sweetly called him honey before entering.

Liam's eyes slightly darkened, and he calmly lay back on the bed.

"Mr. Anderson in Room 3?" Suddenly, a crisp voice rang out. "Mr. Anderson, it's time to change your medicine!"

A nurse pushed a medical cart into the room and stood by Liam's bed.

She wore a large mask and occasionally lowered her head to prepare medication. Liam couldn't see her face clearly.

But that voice...

"Mr. Anderson, you still need an injection," the nurse said softly, "Let me administer the injection first, and then we'll change the dressing, alright?"

"Thank you," Liam replied indifferently.

The nurse tore open the packaging of a disposable syringe and took out the prepared medicine from the bottle. Liam had already rolled up his sleeve, revealing his sturdy forearm. She tied a tourniquet around his arm but seemed to unintentionally touch his arm and hand.

"Your muscles are well-developed, sir. Do you exercise a lot?"

Liam suddenly looked up, and the nurse also stared at him. A hint of cunning flashed in her bright eyes.

In an instant, she grabbed the syringe and stabbed it toward him.

Liam reacted quickly, grabbing her wrist forcefully. The nurse was also unwilling to back down, freeing her other hand to fight against him with agile and nimble movements. But after a few rounds, Liam managed to subdue her.

Liam easily crossed her hands behind her back, pressing her body on the bed and rendering her unable to move.

"Ah, it hurts!" the girl yelled, "Let me go!"

Liam pulled off her mask.

"I won't play anymore. I won't play anymore!" The girl pouted at him, "Every time you get serious, you never go easy!"

Liam chuckled and finally let her go. The girl quickly got up, standing far away from him. Her eyes were filled with grievances as she gently rubbed her swollen wrist.

Liam shook his head helplessly. "What brings you here?"

"You're injured. Can't I come to see you?"

"You came just like this. Does Dad and Opal know?"

"Who wants them to know?" The girl had a mischievous look on her face. "As long as I'm here, isn't that enough? Audrey will always be Noah's sidekick. Don't tell me you've forgotten!" Liam was taken aback, and his gaze softened.

Audrey was his half-sister from the same father but a different mother.

He had some objections to his father's remarriage in the past, and his attitude toward his stepmother had remained only polite on the surface over the years.

But Audrey was one of the rare sources of warmth he felt in the Martinez family.

There was quite an age difference between them, and Audrey had always liked following behind him. She looked up to him for everything.

Even the well-intentioned advice from their parents couldn't compare to one word from her brother.

Sometimes he felt it was a special fate. Her name was Audrey, and she really understood his heart.

"Hey, Mr. Anderson." Audrey mischievously blinked. "You've been Mr. Anderson for so long. You won't forget that your last name is Martinez, right?"

Liam glanced at her.

Audrey stuck out her tongue, speaking with seriousness. "I came to Eldoria to tell you about what has been happening at home recently so that you can get prepared. Also... he-he, I want to see what my sister in-law looks like!"

Liam's expression darkened, looking particularly intimidating.

"Alright!" Audrey pouted. "With how nervous you are, do you think I would eat her? I just want to see her. Don't worry. I won't let her see me."

"Mm," Liam grunted, but his brow still furrowed. "Be careful in Eldoria and don't let anyone discover your whereabouts. Also, how did you come here? Is anyone following you?"

"Yes!" Audrey suddenly showed a shy expression like a little girl. "It's... It's Horace who came with me."

Horace Hand?

Liam pondered for a long time before remembering that Horace was a laborer at Martinez Manor. Not a bodyguard or driver, he just did manual labor.

He hadn't paid much attention to this person before, but judging by Audrey's expression, something seemed off.

"What?" He narrowed his eyes. "Are you close to him?"

"No!" Audrey denied it immediately, but her cheeks turned bright red.

"Alright, alright, I won't say anything more. Let's meet at the bar where Oliver often goes tomorrow night, and I'll tell you about everything."

Audrey turned around and quickly left, pushing the cart.

Just as she walked out of the ward, Stella and Mia happened to approach and crossed paths with her.

Audrey remained calm, gave them a slight smile, and immediately walked away.

"Stella..." Mia pointed to Audrey. "Is there such a beautiful nurse here? Have you seen her before?"

Stella thought about it. This person indeed looked unfamiliar, but in such a large private hospital, she couldn't possibly recognize everyone.
