Chapter 1221 Embarrassing

Hattie spoke with determination.

“Miss, but this!”

Dominique wanted to say something more, but upon seeing Hattie’s expression, she swallowed her

words.

The next morning, Emmanuel, exhausted from a night of labor, was awakened by the ringing of the

phone before he could get a good sleep. “Hello, Mom. What’s up?” he asked sleepily.

“Emmanuel, where are you? Something significant has happened!”

“What happened, Mom!” Emmanuel immediately sprung up from bed.

Mackenzie, who had no plans to go to work today, was awakened by his movement.

“Tommy suddenly got a fever. He vomited and even passed out, but Ryder is in the hospital now.

There’s no one to take care of them!” Alessandra’s voice was filled with anxiety.

“Mom, don’t worry. I’ll be right-there!”

After hanging up the phone, Emmanuel quickly got out of bed to wash up. Turning around, he found

that Mackenzie had also woken up. “Mackenzie, I need to go to the hospital. My mom said Tommy was

sent to Beacon Hospital, too!”

“I’ll go with you.”

“Uh, okay! But don’t you have to work?” Emmanuel asked before realizing how foolish he was to ask

the question.

And sure enough, Mackenzie glared at him coldly, as if she wanted to strangle him. He had been so

rough last night, causing her so much pain, as if she were torn apart. How could she possibly go to

work today? Well, visiting your cousin in the hospital would be a perfect excuse.

“Then… I’ll wait for you outside after I get ready.”

Emmanuel quickly went to wash up and then made a swift exit.

Soon, the couple arrived at Beacon Hospital.

Juan, accompanied by Rhea, personally received them.

Juan was focused on work-related matters and didn’t notice anything unusual about Mackenzie, but

Rhea noticed at a glance that Mackenzie seemed a bit strange. She tried her best to walk normally,

and there was nothing particularly noticeable at first glance, but Rhea, being a medical student, quickly

figured out what was going on.

While Mackenzie was discussing Ryder and Tommy’s conditions with Juan, she quietly gave

Emmanuel a pinch and whispered in his ear, “Did you finally gather up the courage last night?

Congratulations!”

Emmanuel a pinch and whispered in his ear, “Did you finally gather up the courage last night?

Congratulations!”

Uh… Emmanuel’s face turned slightly red. He hadn’t expected that such a thing would have

consequences. Should he admit it now? It was so awkward!

“What are you shy about? I’m your relationship strategist, so I should take some credit for this. You

should treat me to a meal to thank me!” Rhea whispered quietly, sticking her tongue out.

“Okay, wait until my business is finished.” Emmanuel quickly tried to change the subject. Otherwise, the

more people knew about it, the more embarrassing it would be.

“Haha! Okay!” Fortunately, Rhea also knew when to stop and immediately shut up.

At this moment, Emmanuel heard Juan say with a sigh, “The bullet hit Ryder’s seventh and eighth

thoracic vertebrae as well as his spine. Although he is out of danger, he is likely to be paralyzed in the

future.” Then, he continued, “As for his son, after a detailed examination, I think he might have been

poisoned. Unfortunately, our hospital’s doctors lack experience in this area and are at a loss for the

time being.”

Mackenzie thanked Juan for his explanation, but she still wanted to visit Ryder and his son with

Emmanuel.

“What did Rhea just say to you?” As they walked out the door, Mackenzie quietly asked Emmanuel, her

eyes piercing. She figured that what Rhea had said must have something to do with her. This is so

embarrassing! If this happens again, I might not want to do it anymore.

“N-Nothing. She just told me about Tommy’s condition. I have to go see Tommy first,” Emmanuel still

had a will to survive, and this wasn’t exactly a lie. After all, Rhea did mention that Tommy’s condition

was urgent.

Mackenzie shot him another glare and ceased discussing these personal matters. However, walking

was painful for her as she experienced a burning sensation. I’ve long been aware that this kind of thing

is not a good one. It is too detrimental to women; who would engage in it if not for love?

The four of them swiftly reached Tommy’s room. As the father and son were in separate wards,

Alessandra was looking after Ryder. Surprisingly, Tia was the one attending to Tommy here.

“Ah, Mr. Lowe and Ms. Quillen, you’re here.”
