Chapter 465 Shocking Carter

"Aunty, I'm fine," Scarlett replied, returning the hug and offering a warm smile to Carter, who was still glaring at her.

"Glad to hear that, Scarlett," Aunt Martha said while slowly releasing her hug. "You sit, talk to your brother. I will go to the next room, leaving you guys to talk..."

However, before Martha left the room, Scarlett stopped her. "Aunty Martha, wait... Carter's surgery was a success. I think you need to relax a bit," Scarlett said. "...You can stay at our house for a few days."

Scarlett was too worried about Aunt Martha's condition, afraid she would be exhausted because she had spent more than a week in this hospital without going anywhere.

"This—" Martha was stunned to hear Scarlett's offer. She can't remember how many days she had spent here, too focused on Carter's recovery.

"Yes, Mom. I agree with sister Scarlett. You can stay at my sister and brother's villa for the time being and visit me here during the day. There's no need for you to stay here..." Carter tried to convince his mother. 𝙗𝙚𝒅𝒏𝙤𝙫𝙚𝒍.𝒐𝙧𝙜

"Should I?" Martha was puzzled about whether to go or not. She was still worried about Carter's condition but felt exhausted and stressed after staying in this place for too long.

"Yes, Mom! I'm feeling so much better now. Besides, there are plenty of nurses who will help me if I need assistance. Go, relax, and stay at Sister Scarlett's place," Carter said seriously. When he saw his mother frown, he added, "Mom, I'm worried you'll also get sick if you stay here for far too long..."

"Alright, alright... I will go with Scarlett later," Martha said, smiling faintly at her son.

"Aunty, it looks like I will stay here longer. You don't have to wait for me. I've already prepared the guest room for you to use during your stay in this city. Logan will go with you," Scarlett said. She can't go home now because she wants to talk to Carter about Zara.

Scarlett feels sorry for Zara, who decided to move a thousand miles from her hometown just to meet Carter. However, she's been here for a week and hasn't had an opportunity to meet him.

"Okay, I will start packing my things first," Martha finally agreed. After exchanging a few words with Carter, she excused herself.

It just so happened that Xander also had to go to his office for a few hours, so he asked Scarlett to wait for him at the hospital; he would come pick her up later.

As soon as Xander left, Scarlett immediately told Carter about Zara being in town and wanting to meet him.

Carter, who was just about to lie down to relax himself, suddenly woke up. He sat up again, looking at Scarlett in disbelief. He never imagined Zara would fly to this city just to meet him.

"Sister-in-law, don't try to play pranks on me!!" Carter didn't believe it.

Scarlett, seated in a chair near Carter's hospital bed, could only shake her head because Carter believed she was lying.

"Gosh, why would I lie to you? Well, did you forget how sad Zara was when she saw you at the airport? I know you noticed her presence at that time, right?" Scarlett narrowed her eyes while looking at Carter.

Carter fell silent.

At that time, although he wanted to meet Zara, he couldn't bring himself to face her in such a condition. He just buried his sadness deep in his heart while trying to heal faster. Once he felt better, he would fly to LA to meet her.

"Yes, I know!" Carter nodded weakly.

"Well, congratulations, Carter Riley. That naive Zara is now falling for you!" Scarlett grinned. "You can't run now because that girl abandoned everything for you. Now, she has decided to move here. She is waiting for you to give her a chance to meet…"

Instantly, Carter felt his throat go dry. He swallowed hard before speaking, "Sister, you say... Zara abandoned everything? And she told you that she likes me?" Carter repeated everything, unable to believe what he had just heard.

Carter knows Scarlett likes to play pranks on him, afraid she will do that this time.

Scarlett felt amused seeing Carter's shocked expression. She explained everything about Zara's desire to take unpaid leave just to be in this city to meet him. She also informed Carter that she had asked Tyler to transfer Zara to the RAS branch office in this city so Zara could work there.

"Well, that foolish Zara now had settled in an apartment near the RAS office," Scarlett said as she stared at Carter, who seemed lost in his thoughts. She just smiled, looking at him, silently waiting for him to respond.

It took several minutes for Carter to digest all the information he had just heard. It felt like a dream that Zara had finally confessed that she liked him. Even though he hadn't heard it directly from Zara, he still felt so happy.

"Sister, does she really like me? You're not lying to me, are you?" Carter asked again, his voice shaking.

"Well, would you believe me if I said she actually liked you from the moment she saw you for the first time? However, because of your age, she held herself back. But, after you proposed and disappeared abruptly, she just realized that you mean a lot to her..." Scarlett explained.

"Sister Scarlett, I want to meet her!" His voice sounded firm.

"R-Really?" Scarlett was surprised to hear that Carter finally wanted to meet Zara. She couldn't hide her happiness at this moment, knowing that Zara would be overjoyed when she heard this news. This is what Zara wanted.

"Yes! Please, call her for me. I don't have my cell phone now, mom still keeps my phone..." Carter said in a sullen tone.

"Ah, sorry... I forgot to tell you. Aunty Martha gave me your cell phone. Wait—" Scarlett went to the sofa area to retrieve Carter's cell phone from her bag.

"You can call Zara by yourself," Scarlett said and left the room after returning his cell phone. Then, she decided to go to Grandpa Robert's office.
