Chapter 199 The Paranoid and Crazy Woman
The White family.
Landon looked at the injured woman in front of him, feeling pity. But Felicity thought he seemed interested in her.
Her face turned red.
"Landon, thanks for taking me in. Without your help, I'd be lost."
The Yates Group was in chaos, and David saw her as useless. He beat her up and threw her out of the Zito family.
She dragged herself to the White mansion, hoping Landon would help. To her surprise, he had taken good care of her. She started to wonder if he liked her.
Landon sighed, "No need to thank me. But you've been here almost a week. Your injuries look better. When are you going back to the Yates family?"
Felicity looked pitiful. "Landon, will you kick me out?"
Landon gave her a strange look. "Ms. Zito, I helped you out of sympathy. It's a favor, not an obligation. Are you planning to stay here forever?"
Felicity felt disappointed by his cold attitude.
She thought he liked her, but he was just being kind.
Forcing a bitter smile, she asked, "Landon, do you hate me?"
Landon sighed, "Not really. But you're Ethan's woman. If you stay here too long, people might talk. It's not good."
Felicity's heart broke. "Landon, if I haven't been with Ethan, would you..."
She didn't finish, but her hopeful and nervous look, along with her blushing face, made it clear what she meant.
Landon frowned, looking at her.
She wasn't ugly, but something about her made him want to escape. He had no feelings for her.
"Ms. Zito, take care and go back to the Yates family soon."
He wasn't too harsh, but anyone could hear the rejection.
Felicity's heart turned cold.
Suddenly, a white cat meowed at the door.
"Bolt?"
Landon's cold eyes softened. He waved, "Come in."
Bolt wagged its tail happily when it saw Landon, but as soon as it caught Felicity's sinister gaze, it freaked out. Its fur stood on end, and it started hissing.
"Bolt, what's wrong?"
Landon was puzzled. The usually gentle cat had suddenly turned aggressive.
Following Bolt's gaze, he saw Felicity glaring at the cat with a cold, almost demonic look. But when she noticed Landon's eyes on her, she quickly switched to a helpless and weak expression.
But she was a second too slow!
Felicity forced a sweet smile, "Landon, is this your cat? It's so cute."
Landon was stunned. He had just seen that terrifying look in her eyes and wondered if he had imagined it.
Facing Felicity's sweet and innocent smile, Landon started to doubt himself.
"It was a stray cat. I felt sorry for it, so I took it in. It's usually very gentle. Strange it's so agitated today..."
As he spoke, Landon walked to the door, squatted down, and opened his arms to hug Bolt.
Felicity's eyes turned cold as she looked at Bolt.
Both were pitiful, but why could a cat be taken in by Landon while she couldn't?
Her cold, piercing gaze made Bolt tremble in Landon's arms.
"Landon, you're such a kind person. Someone gentle with cats can't be truly bad."
Landon said, "You should rest. Mrs. Ivy Yates just called and said she would come to see you later."
At the mention of Ivy's name, Felicity's eyes dimmed. She lowered her head and obediently responded.
After giving his instructions, Landon left.
Watching his back, Felicity's eyes were filled with deep resentment. She clenched her fists tightly and secretly vowed to win this man!
An hour later.
Ivy came to Felicity's room.
"Felicity, how's your recovery?"
Ivy held her hand and gently stroked it, her gaze falling on her abdomen, hesitant to speak.
"Thank you for your concern, Aunt Ivy. I'm much better..."
"Felicity, how could David be so cruel? If he harmed the Yates family's future heir, even if he gave us the entire Zito Group, it wouldn't be enough to compensate!"
Felicity lowered her head, her bangs covering her eyes, making it hard to see her emotions.
"Felicity, why don't we go to the hospital for a check-up? What if you're pregnant?"
