Chapter 2728 - 2737: As Expected, It Was Because of Enna Clark
Lyle Westbrook’s eyes were icy cold. He wasn’t someone completely heartless, but all of Howe Westbrook’s behavior had chilled him to the core.
If things between the two of them could only end in mutual destruction, then he wasn’t going to give Howe Westbrook another chance.
There was only one chance, and Howe Westbrook hadn’t cherished it.
Right then, there was a click as the door opened.
A tall, straight-backed man walked in from outside. He swept a glance over him, his hawk-like eyes narrowing as he asked, "Well? Not going to die, right?"
"With Young Master Lawrence here, I won’t die." Lyle Westbrook drew back the chill in his eyes, looked at him, and didn’t force himself to sit up. Face pale, he asked, "Now that the others are gone, can I ask why you’re here, Young Master Lawrence? Don’t tell me it’s a coincidence."
"It’s not a coincidence. I’ve had people keeping tabs on you the whole time! The moment you got hurt, someone reported to me!" Baron Lawrence didn’t see his own behavior as surveillance at all. He spoke as if it were only natural: "I’m not about to let a threatening love rival dangle under my eyelids all day long!"
"So that’s how it is..." He also knew there was no way Baron Lawrence just happened to be in Yluria Country, and just happened to learn about his situation and rush over.
Turns out it was because Baron Lawrence had known about the Westbrook Family’s situation in advance.
"Your reason for helping me."
Since this man had prior knowledge and had specifically come here, the key point was: the reason.
He knew very well he’d never had any interest-based dealings with this man, and this was not someone who could be moved by a bit of petty benefit.
So why did he make a trip just to save him?
Baron Lawrence stared at his face, his sharp gaze sweeping over it before he finally looked away and said coldly, "Relax, I have no interest in coming here just to save you. I saved you only to help Enna Clark pay off a favor. She remembers kindness, not grudges. As long as she remembers what you did for Gigi, she’ll treat you differently. I won’t allow any ’special’ person to exist in her heart, not for any reason—even repaying a debt is no exception!
Happened that this time I heard someone might play you to death, so I came over. I’m not here for you, I’m here to repay that woman’s debt of gratitude."
"You came here just to help Enna pay off a favor?" As expected, everything he did was for Enna Clark!
The distinguished man didn’t answer him. He simply gave instructions: "For the next half month, you stay here and recover. Howe Westbrook won’t think you’re hiding in this place. Even if he does, he can’t get in. So during this time, you’re absolutely safe. Of course, if you’re itching to die and insist on running out, that’s none of my business."
"From this moment on, you and Enna Clark are square. The favor she owed you, I’ve paid back in full. Next time, don’t let me catch you seeking her out in private again, or whatever Howe Westbrook didn’t get to finish just now, I won’t mind helping him finish it!"
The last sentence wasn’t a threat; it was a verbal warning.
After he finished speaking, he gave Lyle Westbrook one final look, then turned and walked to the door. Just before stepping out, he paused and added, "All the military doctors here are top-tier. Cooperate with the treatment and you’ll be out in no time. Don’t go courting death during this period—stay put in the Military District and heal up. I’m leaving tomorrow. Whatever you need to do, tell my people. If it’s not a hassle, I’ll help you settle it in passing. Consider it interest on Enna Clark’s debt to you."
Without waiting for Lyle Westbrook to speak, he pulled the door shut behind him.
