Chapter 75: Just Practicing
Rain opened her mouth to respond, but before she could, Alexander stepped forward. "I’m Lex, Rain’s husband," he said, extending his hand toward Dina for a handshake.
Dina accepted his hand with a firm grip, her lips curling into a sneer. "Lex what? Can you at least introduce yourself properly?"
"Lancaster," Alexander replied in his usual stoic manner. Despite his slightly dirty appearance at that moment, his handsomeness still managed to turn heads, including Dina’s, though she tried to hide it behind her mocking words.
Dina’s eyes briefly widened before she quickly masked her surprise. "Lancaster? I’m sure you’re not related to the Lancaster Group, are you?" she asked, her tone dripping with skepticism as Alexander pulled his hand back. "I’m Dina Clayton, Rain’s legitimate sister," she added, her voice tinged with pride.
Rain’s face flushed with embarrassment. Did Dina really need to emphasize the word "legitimate"? The thought of Dina discovering the truth about Alexander sent a thrill of anticipation through her. What a shock it would be.
Her thoughts were interrupted when she noticed her father approaching, his expression stern. "Father," Rain muttered, her voice subdued.
He frowned as he stopped in front of them. "If it weren’t for this accident, we wouldn’t have had the chance to meet your husband," he said, his tone clipped.
Rain’s hand instinctively tightened around the bedsheet, her knuckles turning white. Rain inwardly fumed, thinking, ’Can’t he at least check how I’m feeling right now?!’
"Rain will need to stay here for another twenty-four hours. I want her under observation," her father suddenly stated, directing his words to Alexander.
