Chapter 320
However, Alessandra had a hard time believing Abellyn.
Knowing Ryder since he was little, Alessandra knew just what kind of person
he was. There was no way he would hit his wife.
Then again, it was hard to say. After all, he did hit Abellyn during their last
fight.
”
“I swear this is real, Alessandra! He hasn’t only hit me, but he hit Zane too!
After that, he deliberately rammed into Zane’s car, afraid that we would
report him and demand legal action. That was how it all came to this… Why
would he go to such lengths? Zane and I haven’t done anything. He’s just a
friend from my village. Ryder misunderstood everything!” Abellyn cried so Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
bitterly that even Emmanuel nearly fell for it.
“Manny, you’ve arrived!” Alessandra called out all of a sudden.
Abellyn hurriedly stood up and turned to look at Emmanuel.
She didn’t fix her dress and it slipped off her body, revealing her voluptuous
figure almost entirely.
“Ah, Manny, you’re here…” Abellyn covered herself up pretentiously without
concealing the important bits. She even intentionally emphasized her ample
bosom. However, no matter how she acted, Emmanuel showed no
expression whatsoever.
After all, the man was a gynecologist. He had seen more naked women than
even women themselves.
“Was everything you just said real, Abellyn?”
“Did you hear everything, Manny?” Abellyn posed pitifully, “I never lie. I really
want to fix our relationship but your cousin acted impulsively, and now it’s
come to this! What will happen to me and Tommy in the future?”
Emmanuel didn’t know Chloe had coached her to say those things, but he
found himself somewhat inclined to believe this woman who kept
mentioning the incident and their family with such fervor.
Of course, he wasn’t going to blindly believe it just because of that. “If this is
indeed true, I will definitely help you and Tommy,” he swore gravely. “But if I
find out that someone intentionally harmed my cousin, I won’t let them get
away with it!”
His gaze was particularly intimidating, and Abellyn cried even more
miserably after a shiver. She even hugged Alessandra while sobbing, “You
must believe me, Alessandra! I’m telling the truth…”
“Alright, alright. Don’t cry anymore. I believe you for now.” Alessandra had a
soft heart and gently patted Abellyn’s back to comfort her.
Emmanuel, on the other hand, was done entertaining the woman. Intentional
or not, the woman just wouldn’t put her clothes back on.
“Mom, I’ve taken three days off, but I still have to sort out some stuff in the
hospital. Take care of Ryder for now, will you?” he asked Alessandra after
checking his cousin’s injuries.
“Alright, you go ahead, Manny, “Alessandra said. Emmanuel nodded and
walked away.
Ryder’s in a deep coma. With the modern medical equipment in the hospital,
there might be a 20-30% chance of waking him up. Coupled with my medical
skills, the probability of him waking up will exceed 70%. By then, the truth will
be uncovered!
Abellyn’s gaze turned unpleasant when she saw Emmanuel leaving the ward
immediately after checking Ryder.
I can’t believe he made nothing of my body!
She admittedly knew she wasn’t a bombshell like Mackenzie, but still, she
should have a considerable allure to men. Even if Emmanuel didn’t dare
display any lecherous behavior in front of his mother, he should’ve at least
stolen a few glances.
As Chloe said, a man would instinctively feel more sympathetic toward a
woman’s tears when he saw her scantily clad. However, she couldn’t discern
any sympathy in Emmanuel’s eyes just now.
“How pretentious!” Abellyn felt unsettled.
After Emmanuel left the ward, she didn’t want to stay there for another
second. Who’d want to care for a loser like Ryder? Why won’t you just die
already?
However, to her surprise, she saw Jayden looking for Emmanuel as she
prepared to leave the hospital.
Her guilty conscience gave her a start, and she couldn’t help wondering if the
lawyer had come on Mackenzie’s orders to help Ryder with his legal battles.
