"Brother Adam, quickly pull her away."
Sophie Parker was crying and shouting, and Adam Willow wanted to step forward to hold back Emily Parker, but Carlos grabbed Adam’s collar, pressing him against the wall, leaving him unable to move.
"If you’re a man, stay out of women’s affairs."
Emily Parker slapped Sophie several more times, and Sophie’s voice was hoarse from crying. Only then did the hospital security arrive to disperse the crowd.
Only then did Emily Parker let go of Sophie.
"Emily, just you wait.
You hit me, I’m going to call the police."
"Go ahead and call the police, the bigger the fuss, the better.
By then, the news will say ’Henry Parker from the Ministry of Health, his two daughters got into a brawl over a man at the hospital.’
Emily smiled, looking indifferent.
Sophie was taken aback; she suddenly remembered something. In her dream, she recalled that her father was about to get a promotion soon.
Her father was originally the second-in-command at the department, and shortly after the new president took office, he was promoted to head of the Ministry of Health.
Calculating the time, it would be around half a year. If unfavorable news about her father spread now, especially a family feud showing he failed to raise his daughters well, it could potentially affect her father’s career.
"Little Sophie, if you two sisters fight, at most, it will be considered a family dispute when it reaches the police station.
If Uncle finds out, he will surely be unhappy."
Under Adam Willow’s persuasion, Sophie reluctantly gave up the idea of calling the police. Follow current novels on NoveIꜰire.net
"Emily, just you wait.
The slaps you gave me today, I’ll definitely return them to you."
Sophie waved the photos on her phone at Emily.
Adam Willow hugged Sophie and escorted her to the emergency room for a checkup.
The surrounding crowd was still there, with people pointing at Emily and whispering behind her back.
She looked at the spilled food on the floor, squatted down, and started picking it up with her hand, trying to clean it up.
A pair of polished leather shoes appeared in front of her, and Carlos grabbed her hand.
Emily shook off Carlos’s hand.
Whenever she saw Carlos’s hand, she couldn’t help but recall the photo of him holding Rainny White.
"Emily, it’s Sophie who provoked you; why are you losing your temper with me?"
Carlos was also angry.
In a fit of anger, he pulled Emily up, preventing her from touching the garbage on the ground anymore.
He hadn’t even blamed Emily for saying they’d meet at the clinic, yet she had come to the hospital.
This woman, how dare she lose her temper with him.
"So what if I’m angry?
Carlos, since you have someone you like, why still provoke me?
You signed an agreement with me, why not abide by it?
Since you don’t stick to it, let’s just get a divorce."
Emily felt a surge of grievance, which burst out at that moment.
She tried to shake off Carlos forcefully, but she forgot about the spilled soup beneath her feet, causing her to slip and fall forward.
Her head landed right in Carlos’s chest.
When Carlos heard the word "divorce," his eyes darkened, bracing for an impending storm.
He felt a fire in his chest, ready to erupt.
But then he saw Emily’s head buried in his chest, motionless.
His expression changed instantly,
"Emily, what’s wrong with you?"
He leaned in to check on Emily, who was lying against his chest. Moments ago, the fierce tigress was now like a feeble little kitten, her tiny face sweating,
Carlos no longer cared about anything else; his earlier anger vanished without a trace.
He quickly picked Emily up, shouting,
"Where’s the doctor?"
Carlos charged into the emergency room with Emily in his arms like a whirlwind.
Rainny White had been waiting in the parking lot for quite a while, but Carlos hadn’t arrived.
It was noon, and there was no shade in the parking lot. The sun was blazing, leaving Rainny parched. She had no choice but to limply head towards the hospital.
As soon as she reached the entrance, she heard Carlos shouting.
She leaned against a nearby wall, about to call out to Brother Carter, but saw Carlos carrying a woman in his arms, walking briskly.
Rainny White was just a few meters away from him, but he completely ignored her and continued on.
Rainny White’s face turned stiff as she stood there.
She watched Carlos walk away and took a closer look; the woman in Carlos’s arms was unmistakably Emily Parker.
Rainny White couldn’t help but clench her fist and bite her lip, Emily Parker again.
It seemed like Sister Sophie Parker was right; that Emily Parker was indeed a vixen.
She would never let Brother Carter go to Emily Parker no matter what.
Rainny White pondered and took out medicine from her bag, the same one Sophie had given her last time.
If only she could break through that barrier with Brother Carter, he would be with her, right?
