淑女的欲望

"I heard you booked the surgery room. Did you find an expert to perform the surgery for your father?" Xander asked.

"Yes, I did."

"That's good. But, Scarlett... I know you must be worried about your father's condition. However, I suggest you don't just randomly assign a doctor to do surgery. Your father's life could be at stake here..."

Xander is worried about her father's health. Still, he also feels helpless because he can't find the Divine Doctor. Even after he had used almost all his resources worldwide to locate Dr. Robert Lewis he still failed.

The Doctor seemed to have been swallowed up by the earth. They could not trace him. Xander even thinks Dr. Robert is long dead because he never came home for the last two years to see his family.

He was increasingly worried about Scarlett, worried that she would be sad if something happened to her father. And when he heard from James that Scarlett was planning to use another doctor, he got even more worried.

"I know." Scarlett smiled. Of course, she wouldn't use an ordinary doctor because she found Dr. Robert.

Scarlett was about to explain to him, but she got word from the flight attendant that the plane would leave soon.

"Xander, we'll talk again once I arrive. The plane is taking off!" After Xander tells her that Logan will pick her up at the airport, he finally hangs up.

Only then did Scarlett notice that Aunt Lana was looking at her intently. It was scary to see how sharp the look in her eyes was.

She almost laughed, but she maintained her expression and ignored Aunty Lana.

"So, his name is Xander? My Lord... just hearing his name, I feel he must be super handsome…."  Lana's intimidating gaze disappeared and was replaced with a broad smile in less than a second, "Young miss, which family is he? Quickly tell me..."

Scarlett, "..."

Scarlett thought Aunt Lana was still upset that she kept her marriage a secret, but she didn't seem angry anymore. It makes Scarlett happy.

"Aunty, I will tell you later once you meet him."

Scarlett will not tell tales about Xander on this plane because all the crew are his people. Afraid what she said here will reach Xander's ears. How embarrassing it would be if that man overheard their conversation.

"Miss, I can't wait to meet the young master Xander. He must be handsome, right?" Lana asked curiously.

Scarlett was speechless, although she didn't want to say anything. Seeing the glint in Aunt Lana's eyes, she couldn't help but answer, "Hmm, yes, he is..."

"He must be kind and generous, right?"

"Yeah, I think he is..."

"Ugh! Master Xander must love and care for young Miss, right?" It must be that. Master Xander even lent this plane to use, so he must be rich too.

'Madam must be very happy to see her daughter now married...' Lana suddenly felt her heartache at the memory of her late madam.

"Miss...." Lana looked at Scarlett, "Are you okay!?"

Scarlett didn't respond, only pretended to be asleep — she couldn't answer aunty Lana's barrages of compliments. She knew Xander didn't like her. He married her only for his benefit and to buy more time as an independent, hiddenly single man. To free from his grandfather's marriage arrangements.

"Young miss, are you sleeping?" Lana smiled as she watched her young miss sleep. She also followed Scarlett to rest her eyes.

However, Lana couldn't sleep at all. Her mind was preoccupied with her new journey. She was very excited to be moving into a new place after all the years she had worked for Piers.

Ever since Scarlett's mother died, that evil woman Lauren came into their life. She had bullied all the senior staff, including herself. Many of her friends eventually resigned — she is the last one.

She endured the hardship at Piers' house because she wanted to wait for Scarlett to return from abroad. And her decision is so right. Now, she could serve her young miss in a new place.

Now, everything will be fine. Lana would look after her young miss until she no longer needed her strength and service. At this moment, Lana felt blessed because she could finally work peacefully. What's more, she could see young master Xander every day, right!?

Scarlett opened her eyes when she no longer heard Aunt Lana calling her.

However, when she thought Aunt Lana was sleeping, she was wrong — Aunt Lana opened her eyes and saw her.

Scarlett was stunned.

"Miss, later, I will live with you, right?" Lana suddenly realized that she was about to enter a large household.

"Auntie, before marriage, I had an apartment, and you will live there..." Scarlett felt relieved earlier, she thought Aunt Lana would continue her questions, but she didn't.

"Don't worry, even though I don't sleep there, every day I will come because my office is downstairs. So, aunty will take care of my apartment and cook for my lunch..." Scarlett continues.

Scarlett explained everything to her, including that Cruz would live in the same building with her, only on a different floor. So, she will not be lonely.

"I understand, miss... I will take care of your house." For Lana, it didn't matter where she lived as long as it wasn't at Piers' house.

After discussing where to live, Scarlett also told Aunt Lana about her father's accident.

ραпdα nᴏνa| сom "Oh, my God! Poor Mr. Piers..." Lana covered her mouth with her hand, shocked at the news.

Scarlett didn't say anything else...

She silently watched the white cloud outside — it looked pretty reminiscent of her cat, which she kept at Rex's house. 'Did he take care of my little cloud?'

"Young miss, this is why you returned to the island?" Scarlett turns to see Aunt Lana.

"Yes. And tomorrow, I will go back to the island. I will see the Doctor who will do special surgery on dad..."

Scarlett's face looked calm, but inside she was still worried, hoping her father's condition would stabilize until Dr. Robert came.

"Auntie, even though I hate him for marrying that evil woman, I can't bear to see him in this state…." Scarlett continues.

Lana is feeling conflicted. She knew something that might be paramount to Scarlett's life. But Lana decided now was not the right time to tell her the truth. She would wait until Mr. Piers recovered. And then, only by then, she will tell Scarlett that... she wasn't Jonathan Piers' biological daughter.
