Chapter 128 At Each Other’s Throats
Emmeline met Ethan and Grace at the hospital.
“Ethan, Grace. How is Father?”
“He’s in the emergency room,” Ethan replied while kneading his hands nervously. “I hope he’ll be fine.”novelbin
Grace rolled her eyes at him.
I wonder if Father expected this to happen to him when he kicked them out of the household!
Earlier, Father fired Ethan from his company too. As a father, has he ever considered if his son hadmoney to put food on the table?
If Benjamin hadn’t thrown us a lifeline, we would’ve been homeless!
In any case, Grace understood that Ethan and Emmeline would not neglect their father.
When Alondra saw Emmeline, she snorted coldly and turned her head away.
A split second later, her head snapped back in shock.
Isn’t that Mr. Benjamin York from Adelmar Group?
Why is he with Emmeline?
She was pleasantly surprised. With a fawning smile, she went over and greeted Benjamin. “Mr. York!What brings you here?”
“Oh, I’m here with Emma,” Benjamin replied impassively.
Emma…? Why did he use that intimate name? There must be a story behind this!
Alondra looked at Emmeline with a friendly expression. “Emma, I’m sure Mr. York must find itbothersome to accompany you to the hospital so early in the morning.”
“He doesn’t think it’s bothersome at all.” Emmeline shot a glance at Benjamin. “You can order himaround if you need anything.”
Alondra was shocked. “I wouldn’t dare to order Mr. York around!”
Benjamin smiled gently. “It’s fine. I’ll do anything Emma tells me to.”
Alondra was dumbfounded. Did Emmeline… make Mr. York fall for her?
Alondra said, “If that’s the case, won’t you stop by for dinner someday?”
Benjamin nodded. “Sure. When Mr. Louise is feeling better, I’ll pay him a visit with Emma.”
“Of course, of course.”
Alondra was overjoyed. She hugged Emmeline’s arm and said, “Remember to come home for dinnersometime, Emma.”
Emmeline shoved her away. “Go and bother Alana instead.”
Alondra smiled fawningly. “I’m not going to interfere in whatever’s going on between you and Alana.We’re family, aren’t we?”
Emmeline smirked. “Heh. I hope you remember that.”
A doctor came out of the emergency room.
“Relatives of Mr. Maxwell Louise?”
Alondra dared not answer.
“Here!” Ethan rushed toward the doctor. “How is my father?”
“He suffered an acute ischemic stroke. You’re lucky that he was sent to the hospital in time. Hiscondition is stable now.”
Ethan patted his chest in relief. “That’s good to hear. I hope nothing bad happens to him!”
“We’ll be transporting the patient to the ward now. You can go and pay the hospital bill.”
Alondra took another step backward.
“I’ll go.” Benjamin strode away.
Alondra took Emmeline’s hand. “See how kind Mr. York is, Emma! You have to make sure you marryhim. That way, you won’t have to worry for the rest of your life!”
Emmeline smiled. “And you won’t have to worry about me fighting with Alana over Abel, right?”
Alondra blushed in embarrassment. “I didn’t mean that. I mean, why must we always be at each other’sthroats? Mr. York is just as outstanding as Mr. Ryker.”
Mr. Ryker?
Emmeline’s mood sank when the name was mentioned.
His heart belongs to Alana now, right?
At night, Alondra went home to rest, while Ethan and Emmeline stayed back to look after their father.
Benjamin left the hospital to find supper.
Emmeline took the Five-Elements needles from the briefcase and prepared to treat her father.
Ethan was shocked. “Emma! What are you doing? I know you hate him for driving us out of thehousehold, but you shouldn’t harm him!”
Emmeline rolled her eyes at him. “Do I look like I’d do that?”
“What are you doing then? I can see the needle in your hand.”
