Thousands of Brilliant Stars: You Deserve the Best!-Chapter 223: Little Green Tea, How Ridiculous!

Chapter 223: Chapter 223: Little Green Tea, How Ridiculous!

Homeless?

Lachlan Wyatt suddenly remembered the first time he met Hannah Lennox as a child. Back then, she didn’t go by that name. Hugh Wyatt said she was an illegitimate child wandering outside, so he brought her back to the Wyatt Family.

She would call him brother, but her eyes seemed full of fear.

Perhaps even then, Hannah Lennox already knew the difference between her and Lachlan Wyatt.

Her mother was a despicable woman, accustomed to being a mistress for wealthy men, and ultimately resorting to all means to bear them children, binding herself to a lifetime of wealth and glory this way.

However, Hannah Lennox also doubted her true identity. She felt she might not be Hugh Wyatt’s child, thinking her mother might have bribed a testing agency to make her DNA resemble Hugh Wyatt’s.

Through long recollections, now Hannah Lennox stood in front of Lachlan Wyatt. They were no longer the children they once were. Hannah Lennox’s mother hired someone to kill the three children of the Wyatt Family, and the one who escaped, just like that, stood facing her now.

Until Lachlan Wyatt looked away, turning his face in another direction, as if showing no sign of friendliness towards Hannah Lennox.

Seeing this, Hannah Lennox bit her lip, stepped forward, pressing herself against the fabric of Lachlan Wyatt’s chest. Her wet hair soaked his shirt, and she whispered, "Brother... I really betrayed Jonas Kingsley and stole the chip out. We are family, how can you... leave me alone?"

Lachlan Wyatt said expressionlessly, "I have already left the Wyatt Family."

Hannah Lennox was taken aback, then continued to play the pity card, "Even if you have severed ties with father, but the blood ties between us... they are still there. If I go back, I’ll only be shunned, plus I’m carrying Jonas Kingsley’s secrets; I’m willing to reveal everything, can you take me in..."

Lachlan Wyatt’s response to Hannah Lennox was, "You’re shunned if you go back to the Wyatt Family, and you think you won’t be shunned if you come to me?"

Hannah Lennox turned pale.

How could Lachlan Wyatt be so indifferent to both soft and hard approaches?

So Hannah Lennox forced tears from her eyes, looking at Lachlan Wyatt pitifully, "I seldom ask people for help, please help me, I swear I’ll tell you everything I know."

Lachlan Wyatt looked deeply at Hannah Lennox for a long time, seeming to want to see through her. Then he sighed deeply and handed the umbrella he was holding to hover over Hannah Lennox’s head, "Don’t stand in the rain, I won’t feel particularly sorry for you."

Hannah Lennox shivered from the cold, then quickly grabbed Lachlan Wyatt’s wrist and asked, "Then can I go with you?"

Lachlan Wyatt held the umbrella over Hannah Lennox’s head, finally saying with indifference, "Let’s go. I’m hospitalized for a few days; you can stay with me, and once I’m discharged, I’ll help you find a place to stay."

Hearing this, Hannah Lennox smiled, her eyes sparkling. She stepped closely behind Lachlan Wyatt, following him into the hospital wing.

Back in the hospital room, Iris Crawford was playing a game of word chain with Number Nine. At that moment, Lachlan Wyatt came in after putting away his umbrella. Iris Crawford looked up and first saw Lachlan Wyatt, then noticed Hannah Lennox cautiously following behind him.

Iris Crawford was stunned, "Who is this woman?"

Lachlan Wyatt’s voice was rather indifferent, seemingly not holding much expectation about Hannah Lennox’s identity, "Nominally, this is my sister, call her by her current name, Hannah Lennox."

Iris Crawford narrowed her eyes slightly, "Hello, Hannah Lennox."

Hannah Lennox hid behind Lachlan Wyatt, feigning ignorance, "Is this your girlfriend?"

Lachlan Wyatt coughed, "Girlfriend? This is your sister-in-law."

Hannah Lennox stuttered briefly, "Have you registered?"

Lachlan Wyatt’s expression darkened, "It’s only a matter of time. Can’t you speak with a bit more sense?"

Hannah Lennox shut her mouth.

Seeing Hannah Lennox like this, Iris Crawford felt a bit wary, but also puzzled as to why Lachlan Wyatt would bring her along, "Why did you bring her in?"

Lachlan Wyatt shrugged, "She escaped. She’s one of Jonas Kingsley’s people and has come to defect."

He spoke like this, but saying it in front of Hannah Lennox also showed no respect.

Hannah Lennox pouted, "Sister-in-law, do you have a problem with me?"

Iris Crawford was dumbfounded.

Pointing to herself, she said, "Why do you speak like this? Did I bully you?"

Hannah Lennox hurriedly explained, "No, not at all. I’m just worried sister-in-law might have a problem with me. If not, that’s great..."

Listen to that!

This level of manipulation!

It’s even more profound than Yvonne Jennings!

However, Iris Crawford didn’t dwell much on it with Hannah Lennox. Seeing her follow Lachlan Wyatt into the room and sit on the sofa, tilting her head, she said to Iris Crawford, "Sister-in-law, I might be bothering you for a while here."

Iris Crawford grinned faintly without warmth, "Feel free to bother, but don’t call me sister-in-law."

Hannah Lennox looked at Lachlan Wyatt puzzlingly, "Don’t you love my brother?"

Trying to sow discord, huh?

Iris Crawford whistled, looking at Hannah Lennox coolly, she said, "Nope, what about it? If you want him, you can have him."

Hannah Lennox’s expression changed again, not expecting Iris Crawford to be so fearless, so she could only look away, speaking softly, "How could that be? My brother and I are family, we don’t separate these things..."

"Oh."

Iris Crawford simply replied with an "oh," then continued to play word games with Number Nine, saying, "Let’s keep playing the idiom guessing game, Number Nine."

Number Nine said, "My vocabulary is the most comprehensive in the world, you won’t win."

Hannah Lennox felt a shiver. Hearing Number Nine’s voice from the corner, she was shocked, not daring to believe that Number Nine was still alive. She turned around, seeing Number Nine standing straight in the corner, startled, she asked, "Why are you here?"

"Why can’t he be here?" Iris Crawford made up an excuse, "He’s my personal assistant, what’s the problem?"

Hannah Lennox knew everything, yet couldn’t refute, because if she spoke out, her identity would be exposed.

So she could only lower her head, "I... I was just a bit surprised. I thought my brother was taking care of my sister-in-law alone, but... there are other men..."

"Save your words."

Iris Crawford grinned. Faced with Hannah Lennox’s insincere talk, she smiled especially happily, "I like being served by men, and also by women, why don’t you come serve me?"

That was really blunt.

Hannah Lennox was instantly speechless, blocked by Iris Crawford, and could only look at Lachlan Wyatt with a wronged expression.

Lachlan Wyatt shrugged his shoulders, "Why are you looking at me?"

"..."

Hannah Lennox was fuming! Lachlan Wyatt was really backing outsiders, not even helping his own family!

So she stepped forward and said, "What does sister-in-law like to eat, I can cook for you."

As soon as Iris Crawford heard this, she took advantage of it right away, rattling off a list of dishes for her to learn, and not only that, she praised Hannah Lennox casually, "It’s perfect that you’ve come, another sister to serve me, ah, comfortable."

If you so love playing humble and act innocent.

Then I’ll happily step over you to revel.

Seeing Iris Crawford unfazed, Hannah Lennox gritted her teeth and agreed to all Iris Crawford’s requests. Iris even took a stack of cash from her wallet, waving it in front of Hannah Lennox as if it were a reward, saying, "Here, this is for buying groceries, if it’s not enough, ask me for more."

"..." Hannah Lennox felt like she had become Iris Crawford’s lowly maid.

Unfortunately, Lachlan Wyatt watched the drama unfold from the side without offering any help.

Hannah Lennox changed into Iris Crawford’s clothes in the VIP ward’s bathroom, then packed up an umbrella and headed out.

As she left, she looked pitifully at Lachlan Wyatt, "Brother, I’m afraid going out alone that Jonas Kingsley’s people might come after me, can you accompany me to buy groceries?"

Lachlan Wyatt replied like he’d heard nonsense, "You want me to accompany you to buy groceries?"

Hannah Lennox pursed her lips, "I’m afraid Jonas Kingsley will send someone to give me trouble."

Iris Crawford glanced at Number Nine.

Number Nine seemed to instantly grasp her meaning, but gestured a cross with his hands saying, "My duty is to protect you."

"..." Iris Crawford could only prop her chin with one hand and say, "Then Lachlan, you accompany your sister to go, just in case something really happens..."

Lachlan Wyatt widened his eyes at Iris Crawford, "You want me to accompany Hannah Lennox out?"

"You might make it safer."

Iris Crawford seemed unafraid of Lachlan Wyatt and Hannah Lennox getting involved, or perhaps... she didn’t care.

So Lachlan Wyatt’s expression darkened, he stood up and left, and after the two left the ward one after the other, the room suddenly fell silent.

"Why have him accompany Hannah Lennox to buy groceries."

Being a robot, Number Nine took the initiative to ask Iris Crawford in conversation, "You do have feelings for Lachlan Wyatt."

"Because I think, Lachlan Wyatt brought her back for a reason."

Iris Crawford glanced at Number Nine, smiled a bit, not knowing whether it was relief or another emotion, "So sending Lachlan with Hannah Lennox is the safest choice right now."

"Aren’t you jealous?"

"Only insecure women get jealous."

Iris Crawford looked straight at Number Nine, speaking word by word, "If Lachlan Wyatt wants to run off with someone else, it can only mean he’s changed his heart toward me, no matter how good I am, he’ll still leave. Jealousy is one of the most useless behaviors, turning yourself jealous, filled with negative emotions, turning dark, suspicious of everyone."

Taking a deep breath, Iris Crawford whispered, "I’ve known all my life that love is just a matter of responsibility and choice. I’ve had two marriages, I understand jealousy solves nothing."

Only helpless people are envious of others.

"The only thing I can do is better myself, not entrust my hopes on Lachlan Wyatt, praying he won’t change his heart."

Iris Crawford touched Number Nine’s face, "Perhaps this seems profound to you now, you don’t understand yet, but this is my sincere truth, only by learning to love yourself, won’t you become inferior and ugly in character."

Step out of female rivalry, don’t fight over men until you’re bloodied, women can use their career and future to gain true freedom of spirit.

Maybe Number Nine understood, maybe not, but he asked, "Perhaps it’s just this that makes him like you."

Iris Crawford was different from other women, she’s rational yet not lacking in sensitivity, she isn’t afraid of her flaws and accepts herself.

"Is that so?" Iris Crawford curled her lips, "Then it just proves Lachlan has great taste, and I too like myself."

"Can I like you?"

Number Nine suddenly asked Iris Crawford, "Oh no, I don’t possess such an emotion."

After saying this, Number Nine’s mood visibly lowered.

Being a robot, expressing like seemed overly unrealistic.

Iris Crawford patted Number Nine’s head, her eyes showing a gentle warmth that embraced everything, "Of course you can, feel free to like me."
