Chapter 446 Arrived at Country M

"You don't have to worry about them," Scarlett's voice turned sharp. "...but worry about yourself! Now, explain why you are telling him about my secret?"

Theodor shook his head, letting out a soft chuckle.

"Why do you still call him that way? For God's sake, sister... he is your father!"

It was difficult for him to understand her. Despite all the evidence pointing to Roland Gilwynn being her biological father, she seemed unwilling to acknowledge it.

"Stop saying those words!" Scarlett shot Theodor a death stare. "I don't want to admit anything until I meet my mom. I need to hear what happened in the past from her," she said and turned her gaze outside.

Fifteen minutes had passed since their jet took off. Scarlett and Theodor were the only ones in the main cabin. Their thoughts seemed to consume them, leaving the air between them silent and heavy. Meanwhile, Martha is nowhere to be seen; she has cared for Carter in the only room on the plane since their departure.

Logan, along with the other staff and bodyguards, had settled in the back row near the mini pantry at the rear of the plane.

Scarlett tried to find solace in the endless expanse of clouds that stretched before her eyes. Despite the breathtaking beauty of the scenery, she couldn't fully enjoy it because Theodor's words were echoing in her ears, 'For God's sake, sister... he's your father!'

'Father! He is my father!' Scarlett attempted to remind herself of this fact. However, the more she tried, the more internal resistance she felt. Aunt Melinda's words surfaced in her mind, making her even more unwilling to form any connection with the Gilwynn family.

Just as Scarlett tried to push aside her thoughts about Roland Gilwynn, she heard Theodor's voice, "Sister-in-law, what makes you hate your father so intensely? I mean, he is your biological father, but you seem to harbor such strong feelings of hate and..." His voice slowly faded as he noticed Scarlett raising her hand as if signaling him to stop talking.

Theodor gazed at her, waiting for a response.

"Did 'he' or your mother ever explain to you what actually happened in the past?" Scarlett responded with a question.

Theodor could only muster a bitter smile. He found himself both amused and somewhat exasperated as he silently remarked, 'Why does she always answer a question with another question?'

"No," Theodor finally replied with a slow shake of his head. However, the wry smile on Scarlett's face piqued his curiosity, prompting him to want to learn more about past events.

Scarlett took a deep breath, attempting to ease the crushing sensation in her chest. After a few moments, she finally said, "I'm sorry for not being able to tell you, Theo..."

She avoided Theodor's gaze and continued, "You should talk to your mother about it. She can provide you with an explanation, but be careful not to mention me. I don't want things to turn sour between your mother and me."

Now sitting up straight, Theodor slightly angled his body to catch a glimpse of Scarlett's expression. He couldn't help but feel that her words were puzzling. Make him even more confused and curious.

'Why would there be any issues between her and my mother? What could this mean?' Theodor pondered.

"Sister-in-law, please, I'm begging you to explain! We still have many hours before we reach Royal City, and this suspense kills me!" Theodor pleaded in desperation. Yet, Scarlett remained silent, her eyes shut, ignoring him.

Exhaling a sigh of frustration, Theodor's shoulders slumped slightly. He realized he couldn't force Scarlett to reveal more. Resigned, he left her and joined the others in the back row, setting aside his curiosity about the events of the past that had caused Scarlett to harbor such deep resentment toward his uncle, Roland Gilwynn.

After many hours, they finally landed at the Royal City airport just before sunset. Theodor had already arranged several cars to pick them up, and the medical team from M International Hospital was also on standby to pick up Carter.

The extensive journey had undoubtedly left Carter extremely fatigued, especially considering the additional strain of moving between different locations. It makes his face look pale, and he just sleeps, not in the mood to say anything.

The group was divided into two; Scarlett and Marta accompanied Carter to the hospital to assist in settling down. Scarlett had also called Grandpa Robert to secure a place for her and Aunt Martha to rest; they would likely spend the night at the hospital. Among the group, only Logan and a select few bodyguards accompanied Scarlett to the hospital.

Meanwhile, the remaining staff and bodyguards went directly to the Royal Garden.

Coincidentally, Theodor had opted to join them, expressing his determination to assist if needed. He insisted on being there, ready to lend a hand whenever necessary.

Before long, they arrived at the hospital.

Carter was promptly attended to by a team of doctors who were waiting for them at the hospital's main entrance. This left Scarlett and Martha with no choice but to stay in the prepared VVIP room.

Resting was out of the question; they were required to await the results of Carter's examination, which had been ongoing for over an hour.

Scarlett's tension and worry were palpable; she could barely manage to eat during dinner. Without Theodor's insistence, she might have taken only a single bite.

After a few more minutes passed, a knock sounded at the door. Carter swiftly rose and opened the door, allowing a familiar figure to enter.

Scarlett, with a warm smile, greeted the familiar old man at the door, "Grandfather Robert," she exclaimed, rising to her feet and offering a warm greeting. She then introduced Grandpa Robert to Martha, Carter's mother.

After a little chat, Scarlett felt relief as Grandpa Robert assured them that Carter would recover. She didn't feel the need to delve into the specifics of Carter's medical plan; instead, she left that task to Martha and Logan.

Feeling her body ache intensely and experiencing dizziness due to the lack of sleep during the journey, Scarlett decided it was best to retire to her room and rest.
