Chapter 3
At that moment, a few men in black barged into the emergency room of Drunham City Hospital andkicked out all the doctors who were checking up on Jovie.
When Celena saw that, she lost her mind and rushed forward to stop them. “Who are you? Whatare you trying to do?”
She was no match for those bodyguards at all. She was grabbing a man, but with a wave from him,Celena was shoved to the side and fell to the ground.
She could not be bothered with the pain she felt. She wailed and begged on her knees, “I’mbegging you, please. Please save my daughter! I’m willing to pay any price. Just save her!”
“Oh? Any price will do?” a man outside the emergency room answered Celena’s plea.
Celena could hear the sound of the leather shoes tapping on the floor. It sounded like Death wasapproaching, and it made Celena’s heart sink with every single tap it made.
Then, a young handsome man opened the door and walked into the emergency room. He sneeredas he looked at Celena, who was on the floor.
The man said, “Celena, don’t be ungrateful. Your family only got to where you are today because ofmy family. You should feel lucky that I’m fond of you.
“I didn’t even mind that you have a b*stard with you, yet you’re still asking for so much. She wasonly met with a car accident today, but there’s no telling what could happen next time!”
A great sense of resentment started filling Celena’s eyes as she looked at the man who was actingall high and mighty.
She rushed to him and grabbed his collar before she bellowed hysterically, “Trent Walker! It’s you!You’re the one behind Jovie’s car crash! You animal! Jovie’s only six. She is just six!”
Celena howled as she yanked on Trent’s collar. While she was tugging at him, her nails scratchedhis neck, creating a red mark. novelbin
Trent winced as he touched his neck in pain. He was pissed off when he saw the faint blood stainon the tip of his finger.
He slapped Celena’s face before he grabbed her jaw and said fiercely, “Celena, you brought this onyourself. How much effort have I spent on you all these years?
“Don’t you forget who’s the person who helped you when you were pregnant with that b*stard backthen? How dare you reject me?”
“You son of a b*tch! You’ll be punished! I’m going to kill you!” Celena bellowed.
How could Celena stay sane after she found out that Trent was the culprit who got her daughterinvolved in the car crash? She was dying to kill Trent and shred him to pieces!
Trent was infuriated by her resistance. He grabbed her hair and slapped her face a couple of times.
As he watched Celena’s face all red and swollen, he sneered. “You want to kill me? Who do youthink you are? What an ungrateful wench. Hmph! With just one word from me, I can make sure nohospitals in the city would treat that b*stard of yours on the bed!”
Trent forcefully turned Celena’s head to make her look at Jovie. “Look at her. She seems like she’snot going to be able to hang on anymore.”
Jovie had an oxygen mask on as she lay on the bed. She was fading fast as she watched Celenahumiliated by Trent.
While choking back a sob, she said, “Y-you’re a bad person! Hurry up and let my mom go! I have afather. I’m not a b*stard! My father’s a superhero. He’ll be back soon.”
Celena’s tears gushed down her cheeks when she saw Jovie in that state. Feeling powerless, shewailed, “Please save Jovie, Mr. Walker. I was wrong. I shouldn’t have been ungrateful. Save me. I’llagree to anything you ask as long as you can save her.”
Celena kept begging on her knees while wailing at the top of her lungs. She did not even care abouthow painful her face was.
Trent just stood next to her, looking down at her as she begged for mercy. While he straightened hiscollar, he shook his head and clicked his tongue.
“Celena, why bother pretending to be noble before this? How great it would’ve been if you justaccepted your reality. I didn’t want to do this to you either. Look at you. You’re crying so much sorrythat I feel heartbroken for you!” said Trent.
