Chapter 224

  While Annette hesitated about whether to pick up the phone, Connor had already snatched her phone, and then he hung up directly.

  Annette looked at him. He said seriously, "Annette, listen to me. It's not just your life that was at stake. Our baby's life was threatened, too. So, you mustn't be soft. My baby almost died at the hands of those from the Black Thorn Pack. How can I not make them pay?"

  Annette glared at him and said, "I didn't say anything."

  Connor curled up the corners of his mouth and thought, 'The way she talks now is no different from before.

  I like the way she quarrels with me.

  She's the only person in the world who treats me like an ordinary man.'

  Annette's phone rang again.

  "I'll pick it up." Connor stood up and walked to the ward door, picking up the phone.

  Annette looked back when she heard the door close.

  She didn't know what Connor would say to Lance.

  Yet it didn't matter. It would be best if Connor was the one who took the call.
