14: Chapter 14: Gained a Grandpa 14: Chapter 14: Gained a Grandpa Emily Parker looked up and saw Adam Willow and Sophie Parker standing together.
Adam had several burns on his body, while Sophie, with red eyes, was still crying.
“Sophie, Doctor Willow really cares for you.”
“He rushed in without hesitation as soon as he found out you were trapped in the women’s restroom.”
“Indeed, with the fire so intense and no firefighters around, nobody dared to enter except for Doctor Willow and another man.”
The nurses nearby all looked enviously, and Sophie felt sweet inside as she listened, like drinking honey.
It turned out that in Adam’s heart, she had become more important than her sister.
She secretly went to see Adam.
He glanced around, and when he saw Emily, he pushed through the crowd and approached her.
“Emily, are you alright?
Ooh, thankfully Brother Adam rushed in without regard for his own safety to save me.”
Sophie seemed terrified and followed, holding onto Adam’s hand tightly.
Adam was a bit embarrassed.
“Little Sophie was so scared.
You’re okay, right? ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel-fire.net
I heard someone saved you.
I want to thank him…”
Adam looked behind Emily, seeing only the tall silhouette of a man, whose clothes were darkened by smoke, his face unclear.
Emily watched the two before her with cold eyes, feeling increasingly revolted inside.
I have other things to handle, I must leave.”
Emily wanted to say thanks to Carlos regardless.
She and her unborn child owed him gratitude.
Turning around, Carlos had already disappeared, but she saw Old Master Carter.
“Young nurse, you scared me to death.”
Old Master Carter’s eyes filled with tears when he saw Emily.
He gripped her hand and scanned her from head to toe.
“Old Master, it’s good you’re okay.
I just went back to find you but couldn’t see you anywhere.”
Emily sighed in relief.
She could have run out first, but concerned for Old Master’s mobility, she went back to search for him, which wasted precious time.
She didn’t find Old Master, and upon leaving, suddenly felt the urge of morning sickness.
She had overestimated her own physical strength.
“You silly child, if something happened to you, how would I explain it to your family?”
Elder Carter lamented.
In a large family like the Carter Clan, power struggles were as normal as eating and drinking, making Old Master Carter cold and distrusting, but this young nurse, unaware of his identity and seeking no gain, truly cared for him.
Emily gave a careless smile, appearing unconcerned.
“Old Master, my mother passed away long ago, and I have no other elders.
My dad has started a new family.
No one would care about my life or death.”
Something seemed to block Old Master Carter’s heart, his gaze softened even more when he looked at Emily.
“Nonsense, blind thing!
Such a good child, if your father doesn’t care for you, I will.
From now on, call me Grandpa, you are my dear granddaughter!
Anyone who dares to bully you, is bullying me!”
Old Master Carter said indignantly.
“What did you call me?”
Emily was still puzzled why Old Master wanted her to call him Grandpa instead of just Grandfather or similar.
“Old Master, earlier in the emergency, did you say you were the Carter Clan Young Master’s Grandpa?”
People get older and love to boast.
If I really were the grandfather of that Carter Clan Young Master, I’d break his legs for messing around outside so much.”
Old Master Carter was fuming.
If it weren’t for that rascal escaping fast, he could have broken Carlos’s legs by now.
Emily breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that Old Master had nothing to do with Carlos.
She had already decided not to have any connection with Carlos.
Seeing Old Master still looking at her affectionately, Emily’s heart softened, after so long without the warmth of family, she softly called out,
Bentley car, Carlos sneezed and wiped the smoke off his face.
Hmph, having a partner yet still going on blind dates, that’s too scummy.
Carlos had a stern face.
In the passenger seat, Oliver Ross sneakily looked at the boss in the back seat, very curious about who the boss just rushed in to rescue, but he didn’t dare to ask.
After Carlos rescued Emily Parker, he just left.
He was worried that if he stayed any longer, he would want to strangle that woman.
Counting the last time in the bar, he had saved that woman twice now, but this woman didn’t even say thank you.
Whose child is in her belly after all?
That scumbag doesn’t want her anymore, so she came on a blind date.
No, why does he care so much?
“Carlos, you’re just being masochistic.”
Carlos cursed himself silently and forcefully pulled his thoughts back.
He just remembered there was someone called Adeline.
“Boss, our people have already searched Adeline’s house but didn’t find any videos.
It seems she has hidden things very tightly.”
“Book her a plane ticket, send her abroad.
Also, check who she has contacted recently.”
Carlos always felt that something was fishy, how he was knocked out, and who that mysterious woman really was.
Carlos waited another day.
Early Sunday morning, Adeline bought a ticket to go abroad, Oliver Ross brought people to see her off at the immigration checkpoint.
Before leaving, Adeline took out a USB drive and handed it to Oliver Ross.
After watching Adeline walk in, he took out his phone and made a call.
“I’m the person who contacted you yesterday; my young master asked me to inform you, your husband’s mistress, Adeline, is at the immigration checkpoint of the airport.”
Saying that, Oliver Ross hung up the phone.
Before long, a corpulent middle-aged woman covered in gold and silver jewelry rushed towards the immigration checkpoint with a few companions.
Soon after, a series of loud slaps were heard, accompanied by a woman’s crying…
Oliver Ross holding a USB drive, found Carlos.
Carlos took the USB drive, gestured for the driver and Oliver Ross to get out of the car, then opened his laptop and plugged in the USB drive.
The USB drive contained videos that Adeline had secretly filmed.
Carlos opened the USB drive.
On the screen, in a dark movie theater, a woman and a man appeared.
Carlos had a grave expression as he slowly continued to watch.
After watching for over an hour, Carlos’s eyes were glued to the screen, wanting to make out who the woman in the video was.
In the darkness, he couldn’t see the woman’s face clearly.
Just as Carlos thought he had been deceived by Adeline, suddenly, the woman turned around and sat up.
At just the right moment, the light from the movie screen shone on the woman’s face, her black hair like seaweed fell on her fair shoulders, her red lips like rose petals, she slowly turned her head…
After the fire at the People’s Hospital, the hospital quickly returned to normal.
Emily Parker inhaled some smoke in the hospital and rested at home for a day.
Today is Sunday, the day she and Evelyn Hanson had agreed to go for the surgery.
