Chapter 478
“Ethan is the obvious choice. His skill during the game with the Carner family was impressive. After a deep conversation with him, I was convinced he’s the one I’m looking for,” Adam explained.
“Why didn’t you inherit the family business?” Kylie remained puzzled.
As the eldest grandson with strong abilities and an appropriate age, Adam could have easily been assumed as the heir by the Foster family.
Murray, as an elder, was someone who liked to pick on things, but he also listened to Adam.
What reason could Adam possibly have for abandoning such a significant venture?
“Some secrets are better left untold for now. I am afraid it might tarnish my magnificent image in your eyes.” Adam chuckled.
“Don’t worry. You’ve never been magnificent in my eyes.”
“But I still want to maintain some dignity in front of you,” Adam stated frankly.
Adam’s words only fueled Kylie’s curiosity even more.
“Stop speculating,” Adam said. “I’ll tell you when the time comes.
“When will that be?” Kylie inquired.
“Whenever it happens,” he replied cryptically.
His words seemed meaningless.
But Kylie wasn’t the type to pry.
She generally wouldn’t ask about things others were unwilling to disclose.
But because it was Adam, she cared a bit more.
“Oh, and just a reminder, Ethan’s wedding with Tess is in five days. Good luck.” Adam reminded.
Kylie rolled her eyes.
After Adam left, Kylie lay on her bed lost in thought.
It was true.
What should she do to make Ethan change his mind and firmly break up with Tess?
Tess was really not easy to deal with!
Gritting her teeth, Kylie suddenly sat up from the bed.
Until the very last moment, no one knew how things would turn out.
Kylie took out her phone, opened the chat with Ethan, and after some hesitation, typed a few words. [I’ve been discharged.]
After she sent the message, her heart raced, and she waited anxiously.
She waited for a long time, but Ethan didn’t reply.
Kylie felt a bit angry.

She clenched her teeth and edited another message. [I almost got into another accident today.]
But this text failed to send.
Ethan had actually blocked her….
Kylie felt like she couldn’t breathe for a moment.
She really wanted to storm over and give him a good beating, feeling o
cold inside.
Is Ethan determined to cut ties with me and be with Tess? she wondered.
100%
In the hospital, Ethan had been by Tess’s side since she hadn’t been discharged yet.
Just now, as he was cutting fruit for Tess, the WhatsApp notification lit up, catching Tess’s eye.
“Ethan, it looks like Kylie still hasn’t given up on you, Tess said with a smile.
Ethan blocked Kylie in front of Tess.
Tess couldn’t hide her excitement, but she said. “Lucas, I never intended to pressure you like this, but I promise you won’t regret marrying me. I’ll make sure you know that marrying me was the wisest choice you’ve ever made. There’s no one in this world who loves you more than I do, not even Kylie.”
“Okay” Ethan responded.
He always remained aloof with her, but at least his attitude was fem
Tess was convinced that Lucas was only temporarily unable to accept being pressured like this. But once they were married, she was confident he would quickly forget about Kylie.
“Do you ask the doctor when I can be discharged?” Tess inquired
“The doctor said, given your special condition, it’s best not to be discharged for the time being. We should wait until the wound completely heals and there are no other impacts on your heart before considering discharge.”
“But I want to leave the hospital sooner. We’re getting married soon.
“We can change the wedding date.”.
“No. We’ve finally decided on a date. We can’t just change it casually?
“Your health is more important.”
“I know my physical condition very well. Getting married will only make me feel better, not worse what my cardiologist once said, right? My emotions can make me live longer and live better.
Ethan didn’t say much after that. “It’s up to you then”
Lucas, I really love you, Tess said and took the initiative to hold his hand.
Ethan’s fingers visibly trembled for a moment, but he didn’t push her away.

They both waited for Ethan in his hospital room.
100%
Most of the time, Ethan was in Tess’s room. If he didn’t go there, Tess would ignore her own condition and come looking for him, which her body couldn’t handle.
He usually left only after Tess fell asleep, and today was no exception.
He didn’t expect to see Kylie and Adam as soon as he returned to the room.
Adam wasn’t too friendly toward him, and his expression showed it.
Kylie’s expression wasn’t much better. She immediately asked him, “Why did you block me?”
“We don’t need to contact each other anymore. Keeping in touch serves no purpose,” Ethan replied bluntly.
“Am I bothering you?”
“You’re bothering Tess, Ethan stated plainly.
Kylie was almost choked by Ethan’s words.
Contrary to her usual emotions, she turned and walked away without a word.
At that moment, she forced herself to endure.
“Can you add me back?” Kylie asked. “I promise I won’t message you on WhatsApp anymore.”
Ethan felt a sharp pain in his chest, like needles pricking him.
The Kylie he once knew was so proud, but now, she was being so humble for him.
He almost broke down at that moment, almost threw caution to the wind, and went to embrace her.
His fingers involuntarily clenched as he struggled to control himself.
Ethan glanced subtly at the miniature camera and chose to remain indifferent.
“Kylie, there’s no possibility between us. You don’t need to waste your time on me.” Ethan said coldly.
“Wasting time or not is my business,” Kylie replied.
“But you’re affecting me,” Ethan said callously.
With every cruel word he uttered, it felt like his heart was being sliced by a knife.
“Am I just that annoying to you?” Kylie’s eyes started to redden.
She didn’t want to cry, nor did she want to play the victim in front of Ethan.
Tess’s tactics were something she couldn’t bring herself to do, and she scoffed at the idea.
But now, she was struggling to keep control.
Ethan’s indifference made her feel truly powerless.
Besides crying, she didn’t know what else to do.
In front of Ethan, she eventually lost the battle.
She couldn’t maintain her facade any longer.

Ethan’s throat was tight with emotion, unable to speak the cruel words he had in mind.
He couldn’t bring himself to truly hurt Kylie, but he couldn’t afford to repeat the past mistakes.
“I just don’t want to be involved with you anymore. I’m getting married, he finally said.
