Craving 200

Chapter200 

At Vicente’s words, Harriet let her hands fall back onto the bed 

and looked at him, asking, “Mr. Leach, how did you know I was 

in the hospital?” 

Pulling out the chair Ellsworth had used, Vicente sat down and 

said, “I was meeting with Reginald, and when we talked about 

your product, he told me you were hospitalized with a foot 

injury.” 

“Oh!” Harriet responded blandly after hearing this. 

Then she tried to get up again, saying, “I should get up and 

make you some tea, Mr. Leach.” 

Vicente was amused, stood up, and gently pressed her back 

down, saying, “Ms. Chavez, there’s no need to be so polite. 

You’re the patient here.” 

He then asked, “Is your injury getting better?” 

Pressed back down, Harriet had no choice but to sit and replied, 

“Much better. Actually, I didn’t even need to be hospitalized, but 

it’s inconvenient to come and go for injections, so I stayed.”

Vicente asked again, “Are you here alone? Do you have any 

family with you? Is there anything inconvenient in your daily 

life?” 

Vicente still had a strong air of leadership. Even though he tried 

to be careful, his words still carried some habitual authority. 

Harriet nodded and replied, “Yes, I have family with me. 

Everything’s fine. Thank you for your concern, Mr. Leach.” 

Afraid the atmosphere would become awkwardly quiet, Harriet 

suddenly remembered something and asked Vicente, “By the 

way, Mr. Leach, how is your experience with the robot? Do you 

have any suggestions for us?” 

Vicente smiled, “Not at the moment. If I have any good 

suggestions later, I’ll contact you, Ms. Chavez.” 

Harriet said, “Of course, you can contact me anytime. My leg 

injury isn’t serious. Once I’m done with the injections, I’ll be 

back at work.”

Meanwhile, downstairs in the hospital building. 

Ellsworth had already finished meeting with the business

partner and returned to the hospital, arriving at the parking lot. 

Earlier, Kelsey had called, saying she wanted to visit Harriet, but 

Ellsworth refused. 

He told her not to come. 

After parking the car and picking up the snacks he had bought 

for Harriet, Ellsworth headed upstairs. 

Just as he reached the door of the ward and was about to open 

it, he heard voices chatting inside. 

Vicente? 

Ellsworth was very familiar with Vicente’s voice. 

Hearing his voice, Ellsworth immediately recalled that it was 

Vicente who had hosted Harriet at Sir Leach’s birthday a few 

days ago. 

He even came to visit her in the hospital–quite courteous. 

Thinking of this, Ellsworth pushed the door open with 

composure. 

Inside the room, Harriet and Vicente both looked over as they 

heard someone enter. 

Chapter200 

Harriet looked up, while Vicente turned his head. 

Seeing Ellsworth approaching, Vicente was a little surprised. 

“Ells.” 

Ellsworth entered the room as if nothing had happened, smiling 

as he greeted them. “Mr. Leach, what a rare guest.” 

Vicente stood up to shake Ellsworth’s hand, smiling as he said, 

“Not that rare, I’ve met Ms. Chavez a few times already. Ells, you 

must be here to visit Ms. Chavez too.” 

He then asked, “Didn’t Ms. Graham come with you?” 

When Vicente mentioned Kelsey, Ellsworth withdrew his hand 

and gave a careless smile. “Mr. Leach, you do seem quite 

concerned.” 

Lying on the hospital bed, Harriet glanced at the two of them, 

sensing a subtle tension in the air. 

She looked at Ellsworth, about to ask him to make tea for 

Vicente, when Vicente’s phone rang. 

Taking his phone out of his pocket, Vicente greeted Ellsworth, said he needed to take a call, and walked over to the window to 

answer it. 

Chapter200 

It was a call from his superior, an old leader. 

After finishing the call, Vicente walked back unhurriedly and said gently to Harriet, “Ms. Chavez, I still have some work to 

take care of. I’ll come visit you another day.” 

As he spoke, he looked at Ellsworth, patted him on the arm in greeting, and said, “Ells, I’ll be off then. You and Ms. Chavez can 

chat, and please give my regards to your wife for me.” 

After saying goodbye to the two of them, Vicente left the hospital room first. 

Watching Vicente leave and seeing the door gently close, 

Ellsworth turned back to Harriet and said coolly, “Does Vicente 

not know you’re married? Not know about our relationship?” 

Sitting on the bed, Harriet picked up a professional book from 

beside her, opened it unhurriedly, and said in a calm voice, “He and I only have some work–related interactions. We don’t talk about personal lives. Besides, for now, I’m still your wife, which isn’t exactly something to be proud of. There’s no need for me 

to announce it.” 

Except at the Townsend Group, Harriet never revealed her 

identity outside. Even at the Townsend Group, she kept her 

distance from Ellsworth.
