Chapter 682

In the hospital's emergency room.

When Heinz and Jensen arrived with Alice, Queenie and the two elders from the Lawson family were

already waiting in the corridor.

All of them immediately turned their gazes to Heinz as soon as they saw him approach.

Nathan was flustered. "Don' t you feel ashamed coming here?" He shouted agitatedly.

"It's all your fault. As soon as she came back, you forced her to divorce and refused to give her any

time to settle down. Our daughter attempted suicide at home by slitting her wrists. Doesn't your

conscience hurt?"

Queenie also sighed when she saw Heinz and said to him, "Do you have to be so anxious? Now, if she

really dies, would you feel at ease?"

Heinz could not refute her. He only felt very depressed.

For a long while, his tall figure stood still at the same spot as he remained silent.

Alice asked with a frown, "What's really going on? How is she now?"

When Queenie saw Alice, she asked in surprise, "Who are you?"

Jensen pulled Alice behind him and said to Queenie, "Aunt Stone, this is my girlfriend. Is Jodie's

condition serious?"

"Of course it's serious. There's blood all over the floor. But fortunately, we found her in time. She should

be able to pull through."

At this moment, Aunt Susan came over and said to Heinz, "Mr. Jones, don't worry. Miss Lawson has

not lost too much blood. We found her in the bathroom and there was a lot of water on the floor so we

can't tell whether it’s actually blood or water on the floor."

"How much isn’t too much?" Upon hearing this, Pearlyn immediately barked angrily, "Isn't what you saw

blood? You can't change facts even if you want to help an outsider."

Aunt Susan immediately became anxious when she heard this. "Madam, I really don't understand what

you're saying. The salary that I'm currently getting is paid by Mr. Jones. I'm just telling the truth. I feel

really upset and worried about Miss Lawson's current situation as well, but I can't speak against my

conscience either," she said.

Stunned by Aunt Susan's words, Queenie said with a frown, "Although her blood was mixed with water,

her face still looked very pale.

What's more, she has always had a weak constitution, so it was really bad for her too."

Aunt Susan looked at Queenie and said, "I know about that too, but I'm just stating the truth. It wasn't

easy for Mr. Jones when he took care of Mr. Lawson and Mrs. Lawson all these years. I just don't want

you to blame him so harshly."

"Yes, Auntie is right." Alice added, "Mr. Jones had taken good care of them. It's totally okay for them to

be anxious, but resorting to such extreme measures proves that there is something wrong with their

education. In my opinion, you all should really think deeply on how to properly educate your daughter

so that she doesn't just disappear or commit suicide whenever she likes. This is cowardly behavior.

"Stop it, Alice!" Jensen quickly stopped her as he was too straightforward. Even if what she said was

logical, she shouldn't say it now.

"Who are you? How can you speak like this?" Pearlyn asked furiously. "Can you all afford to take

responsibility if our daughter is gone?"

"We can't afford to take responsibility," Alice replied. "You all should be responsible for it yourselves.

Your daughter attempted suicide in your home, but you are putting the blame on Heinz. Aren't you

being unreasonable?"

"Then who do you think you are?" Queenie shot Alice a glare and snapped angrily, "I'm being polite to

you for the sake of Jensen, but you have come to add fuel to the fire."

Alice looked at Queenie and sneered, "You're the one who called Heinz, right? Then, who do you think

you are? Why do you seem to be everywhere? Are you a pervert who just hates seeing Heinz live a

good life?"

Queenie was bursting with anger. She looked at Alice and said with a frown, "Y-You've gone too far."

"Didn't you all go too far too?" Alice asked in a cold voice, "What is your purpose in calling Heinz here?

To come and take responsibility?"

"Y- You, get lost," Queenie barked while pointing at the corridor.novelbin

"Alice, you go with Jensen first and wait for me," Heinz said. "I'll take care of it."

Alice took a glance at Queenie before saying to Heinz, "It's your fault that things turned out this way

today. This is not love or care, but overindulgence. They'd resort to such extreme measures when their

demands could not be satisfied. A loving mother will only spoil her child. They are so, but so are you.

Do whatever you want."

After saying that, Alice turned around and strode off.

Jensen also took a look at Heinz, and his eyes reminded him to take note of what she said.

As soon as she left, Queenie immediately opened her mouth to speak again, "Who is that? Why did

Jensen find such a rude woman to be his girlfriend?"

"Aunt Stone, don't you think what Alice said is logical?" Heinz looked at Queenie and asked.

Queenie was too stunned to say anything for a moment. After a long pause, she looked at him and said

with a frown, "Heinz, you've changed."

"Well, everyone changes," Heinz replied. "Didn't you also change?"

Heinz looked at Queenie and continued, "Before Jodie came back, at least you were still an elder I

respected, but I feel that you’ve started to handle things inappropriately since she came back. I can

understand your position, but I can't accept it. It’s really inappropriate for you to call me today."

Queenie's face was drained of color.

"What about me?" Nathan pointed at himself and asked, "I'm asking you, is this appropriate?"

Heinz smiled but ignored him.

Nathan's expression grew grim all of a sudden.

At this moment, the doctor came out and said to them, "She is fine. She had a blood transfusion. It's

just that she is seriously malnourished. You all have to pay more attention to her diet in the future."

"As long as she's fine."

With that, he left directly.

Stunned, the three of them stared blankly at Heinz's back as he left. None of them could say a word.

Soon, the pale-faced Jodie was pushed out from the emergency room into the ward.

She was looking around, but her hopeful eyes were gradually replaced with disappointment.

In the end, she was reduced to despair.

As she looked around, tears streamed down her face.

'Jodie, what are you looking for?" Pearlyn leaned in front of the bed and asked softly.

"Mom, is Heinz here?"

The three elders were stunned as their eyes met each other's.

"Queenie!" Pearlyn hissed.

"Did he not care about what happened to me?" Jodie asked, unable to believe what she had just heard.

"Jodie," Queenie said, "I'm willing to put down my dignity for you, but he doesn't care at all. How many

times do you want me to tell you that so that you can understand?"

After a moment of stunned silence, Jodie then said, "I understand now."
