Chapter 26 A Battle of Witsl
Caught in Ethan’s gaze, Cohen, who was never good at hiding things, immediately showed a guilty expression on his face.
Ethan instantly understood everything.
His deep eyes flickered slightly, “What on earth happened?”
Stella turned a deaf ear, and she didn’t even bother to look at him.
Finley chuckled and asked, “Ella, what just happened?”
Stella could not save face for Ethan, but she could not save face for Finley either.
She was tired of explaining this kind of drama, which was full of suspicion.
She didn’t say anything, but picked up the phone beside her and pressed it casually. A video played suddenly.
At the same time, a deafening sound emanated from the phone, Cohen’s voice.
“Stella, you murderer!”
Immediately after, from the shaking screen, Cohen was seen picking up a cup and throwing it towards Stella.
Because water was splashed onto the camera, the screen also became blurry in an instant.
Ethan suddenly remembered that when he first entered the ward, it seemed like Stella’s hair was slightly wet, and even the blanket had some traces of water.
Stella had just wiped the water off the screen when Cohen pointed at her nose and arrogantly said he wanted to teach her a lesson, and then he walked over with an intimidating manner.
That posture, as if it wanted to eat people.
As soon as he reached out his hand, Stella kicked him away.
Cohen was caught off guard and bumped into the nearby table, causing the cups on the table and Kaylyn, who was standing behind Cohen, to fall down together.
And thus, the video playback ended.
The air in the ward, instantly changed color and fell into silence.
Ethan’s secretive black eyes fell upon Kaylyn.
“Kay, is it like this?”
Kaylyn also seemed stunned, and it took a while before she nodded.
“No… Ms. Sutton did not push me.”
“Why didn’t you say just now?”
Kaylyn’s eyes welled up with tears, and she said in a choked voice, “I came to the hospital ward to

inquire about the car accident involving Ms. Sutton… Falling down like that, I didn’t mean to blame Ms. Sutton.”

Yes, throughout the whole time, Kaylyn never said a word that Stella pushed her down.
Cohen blamed Stella for this matter.
Ethan’s handsome face turned cold and stern as he looked at Cohen, and his thin lips softly uttered two words.
“Apologized.”
Cohen was stunned, “What?”
Ethan’s eyes turned cold, “Apologize to Stella.”
Cohen was unwilling in his heart.
He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but as a grown man, it was indeed unreasonable for him to lay hands on a woman, especially when she was his brother’s woman.
Cohen unwillingly said, “Stella, I’m sorry…”
Stella raised her eyebrows and said, “What did you say? I didn’t hear.”
Cohen bit his lip, his face showing an expression of humiliation.
His voice grew louder, “Stella, I’m sorry.”
Stella said softly,“I think Mr. Murray shouldn’t apologize.”
Cohen’s eyes brightened, “Ethan, Stella said it herself, I don’t need to apologize…”
Before the words had even finished, Stella said again, “Anyway, no matter how he apologizes, I won’t forgive him. Instead of a reluctant apology, it would be more practical to have him get a few cups of water thrown at him, which is more effective than an apology.”
Cohen glared at me angrily and shouted, “Stella, you went too far! Didn’t you also kick me?” Stella sat on the edge of the bed and said, “When you splashed water on me, you didn’t think it was excessive, but now you think it is? Cohen, don’t you think you’re being hypocritical?”
“I kicked you in self–defense. If I hadn’t kicked you, who knows what you would have done at that time? I was injured and bedridden, I was no match for you, a grown man.”
Cohen’s face turned red, and he rushed forward to argue with Stella, but he was intercepted by Finley halfway.
Finley sighed and said, “With so many people present, Mr. Murray actually dared to lay a hand on Ella, which shows just how arrogant Mr. Murray usually is. And the reason he is so brazen…”

Finley looked at Ethan, a faint smile playing on his thin lips.
“It’s all because of someone’s indulgence and favoritism. Mr. Dodson, it’s one thing to favor your first love, but what? You have to love the whole package, including Ms. Greer’s friends, and include them in your protective circle?”
“Is it true that from now on, anyone who has any connection with Ms. Greer, be it a cat or a dog, can ride on Ella’s head and bully her?”
Ethan’s dark eyes grew deeper, and he remained silent for a moment before turning to Stella. “What do I need to do to make
Cohen’s eyes flickered, “Ethan…”
you satisfied?”
Stella said lightly, “Since he was the one who splashed water on me first, let him be splashed with a hundred cups too.”
Cohen subconsciously clenched his fist, his expression filled with anger.
Kaylyn, on the other hand, was incredulous as she widened her eyes, never expecting Stella to actually confront Ethan without any mercy.
Kaylyn opened her mouth and said, “Ethan…”
The plea had not yet been spoken when Ethan interrupted with indifference.
“Do you want to do it yourself or let someone else do it?”
These words were naturally spoken to Stella.
Stella looked pale and said, “I was unable to move at that time, so it would be better for someone else to do it. Besides, he worsened the injury, which was not worth it.”
Ethan’s eyes were as dark as a deep pool, “Okay.”
Cohen glared at Stella fiercely and turned around, leaving the ward.
Kaylyn knew that talking about the car accident at this moment wouldn’t benefit her in any way, so she quickly left.
After all the tossing and turning, Stella’s brow also showed a hint of faint fatigue.
Ethan stood by her side, as she had expected, and there was not a hint of disturbance in Stella’s heart.
After all, in the case of irrefutable evidence, if one’s own brother were to lay hands on one’s woman, would he still be considered a man if he turned a blind eye?

Moreover, this matter has nothing to do with Kaylyn.
If it was Kaylyn who took action, it would probably be a different story.
She closed her eyes and said, “I was a bit tired today and wanted to rest. Let’s talk about it tomorrow if there’s anything.”
Finley and Ethan, however, remained in the same spot without moving.
Finley approached and said, “Ella, eat something before you go to sleep.” Thinking about the past two days, when Finley was helping her, Stella opened her smiled gratefully at Finley.
“Thank you, Mr. Burnett.”

Finley said, “I made some dishes in the kitchen that you like to eat, but your yet, so you couldn’t eat anything too spicy.”
Stella glanced at the dish Finley brought and her
eyes lit up.
It turns out that they were all her favorite foods.
Standing on the side, Ethan, seeing this scene, inexplicably felt a bit dazzling.
Finley seemed to be Stella’s husband, while he… was just a stranger.
Ethan’s thin lips tightened, and a hint of inexplicable displeasure surged in his chest. “Mr. Burnett,” he interrupted the warm atmosphere,“If there’s nothing else, you can go I’ll be fine here.”
Finley paused for a moment, revealing a surprised expression.
back first.
“Mr. Dodson stayed here, it seemed pointless, so it would be better to go and check on Ms. Greer first.”
Ethan’s handsome face was indifferent.“Stella was my wife, and I was here, naturally more useful than Mr. Burnett.”
