After Having a Dream, I Became Pregnant with a Billionaire's Child-Chapter 142 - 139 She is the Murderer

This news was like a bombshell.

Carlos’s playful disdain vanished in an instant.

He rushed to Oliver Ross and snatched the phone from his hand.

Evan Palmer always had a flicker of sharpness in his eyes, and when the board members heard this news, their expressions turned grave.

Only a few of them, the directors aligned with Evan Palmer’s fortune, secretly gloated. Mrs. Carter was in poor health, and Junior President Carter had yet to achieve any notable success—if Senior President Carter were to pass away, then Vice President Palmer would undoubtedly be the successor.

"Go to the hospital immediately."

Carlos’s complexion turned unsightly. Clenching the phone tightly in his hand, the hospital had said the old man watched the prior new car release event.

When someone lodged a complaint about the new car, the Old Master was too agitated and suddenly passed out.

But Carlos had clearly made arrangements with the hospital to prevent the Old Master from seeing unreliable news, and he had people remove the television from the Old Master’s room early on...

Carlos immediately announced the end of the press conference.

Emily Parker and Director Ross came over as well.

Her foot, having been iced, was no longer swollen.

"How is grandfather?"

Emily and Carlos got into the car together, and a group of people hurried to the Love & Kindness Hospital.

When they arrived at the hospital, the Old Master had already been taken into the operating room.

Carlos and Emily sat outside the operating room.

Evan Palmer and the directors were together.

He hadn’t spoken all the way, and now he just sat there, head buried in his hands.

"Carlos, the Old Master will be alright."

Emily didn’t know how to comfort Carlos.

"I’ve wronged grandfather.

I should have guessed that he would watch the press conference secretly.

He cares so much about Carter Automotive; how could he not watch it? freёnovelkiss.com

I shouldn’t have pursued publicity at the expense of delaying the release of the clarification video."

Carlos murmured in a low voice.

Emily was stunned.

Carlos suddenly raised his head, his eyes bloodshot.

"Yes, everything that happened today was arranged by me.

I knew someone would obstruct the new car release, leaking information to the media.

I had already taken precautions, but I didn’t release them early.

I just wanted to show Evan Palmer and those directors they were mistaken.

But I never thought it would harm grandfather."

Actually, Carlos had received the news several days ago, and he kept it a secret to enhance the impact of the new car release.

This was the first time that Emily had seen Carlos in such a state. In public, he always appeared haughty and domineering, but this time, he looked like a little dog abandoned on the streets.

Emily’s heart trembled; the Carlos before her reminded her of herself right after her mother passed away, equally helpless and self-reproaching.

Carlos slumped his shoulders, and suddenly, a pair of warm arms were placed on his shoulders.

Carlos stiffened all over.

Emily stood in front of him.

She bent down slightly, her arms tightly enveloping his shoulders, gently stroking his head as if smoothing fur, allowing him to lean on her.

"Carlos, it’s not your fault.

You were just too busy, you didn’t think of everything."

As Carlos’s intimate confidant, no one knew better than Emily how much Carlos cared about Carter Automotive.

He worked from dawn till dusk, not only to make a mark but also because he genuinely appreciated the staff at the factory; he couldn’t let Carter Automotive go bankrupt.

The woman’s hand was like a feather, stroking him gently.

Carlos’s previously stiff body slowly relaxed.

Leaning on Emily, inhaling her unique scent, his mood gradually calmed down,

At the elevator entrance, Adam Willow held a medical file in his hand; he looked at the two embracing by the operating room door.

At that moment, his expression suddenly changed, and a suffocating pain surged rapidly throughout his body.

Emily and Carlos?

The two of them?

Until the elevator doors opened once more, and a staggering figure rushed out of the elevator.

"Brother! Emily! How is grandfather?"

Emily let go, and Carlos finally stood up, looking much more composed.

Maria Carter received a call from her father during lunch break and hurried over.

Evan Palmer and several directors also came over, and when they saw Adam Willow, Evan Palmer took the medical record book he brought.

"The situation is not clear yet, Doctor Reed is examining my grandfather. Considering his age and physical condition, things do not look optimistic."

Carlos did not notify Mrs. Carter, worried that his mother’s excessive anxiety might affect her health.

"How could this be? Isn’t Love & Kindness Hospital supposed to be top-notch?

My grandfather was perfectly fine before, when I last visited him, he looked quite healthy."

Maria Carter sobbed.

"Emily Parker, you vile woman!"

After Evan Palmer flipped through the medical record book, he suddenly burst into fury, slamming the book at Emily Parker with a loud smack.

Carlos, quick to act, stepped in front of Emily Parker, intercepting the medical record book.

"Evan Palmer, what kind of madness is this?"

Carlos’s face darkened, his gaze ferocious as if about to devour someone.

"She’s the one who caused your grandfather’s sudden illness!

I’ve said it before, with such advanced medical equipment at Love & Kindness Hospital, how could they fail to take care of the Old Master.

I had Doctor Willow check just now, and we discovered that your grandfather’s regular medication had been switched.

Your grandfather didn’t take his medicine on time, which led to the instability of his condition.

As for who switched the medication, it was her!"

Evan Palmer had taken a disliking to Emily Parker from the first time he saw her.

They were both outsiders, not Carters, and over the years, he had worked tirelessly for the company, sucking up to the Old Master, yet the Old Master simply did not appreciate him.

But Emily Parker!

This little fox not only managed to entangle herself with Carlos but also won the Old Master’s special affection, which Evan Palmer could not swallow.

Not to mention Emily Parker had also ruined his other prospects!

"Emily Parker? Is what my dad said true? Did you really switch my grandfather’s medicine?"

Maria Carter’s body swayed, looking at Emily Parker in disbelief.

"Could the medical record book be forged?

It clearly states in the medical record book that the medication found in the Old Master’s regular medication is not from Love & Kindness Hospital.

She’s just a nurse who was fired from the hospital, trying to prescribe medicine like she knows better, and now look, she’s caused the Old Master to fall ill. If anything happens to the Old Master, I will definitely call the police and have her arrested."

"Emily Parker, do you have some kind of compelling difficulty?

You never used to prescribe medication carelessly when you were at the hospital."

Adam Willow did not expect Emily Parker to act so recklessly either.

"No one forced me, it was my choice to prescribe the medication.

I thought the medication prescribed by Love & Kindness Hospital was not suitable."

Emily Parker said indifferently.

"Listen to this, everyone listen.

She has admitted it, what are we waiting for.

I’m going to call the police right now."

Evan Palmer sneered.

"Dad!

Don’t get too agitated just yet.

I don’t think Emily Parker is that kind of person.

Why don’t we wait until grandfather comes out to discuss this?"

Maria Carter quickly grabbed Evan Palmer’s hand as he was about to dial the police, pleading.

Although she was also angry about Emily Parker’s reckless behavior, she still believed Emily Parker was not a bad person.

"Maria Carter!

Did you take the wrong medicine too? Are you actually speaking up for that woman?

Have you forgotten how much you detested her before?"

Evan Palmer felt that his daughter in front of him was somewhat unfamiliar. If it were the past, Maria Carter would have been the first to jump out and call the police without him needing to.

"Maria is right,

we need to wait until the Old Master’s condition stabilizes before we discuss anything."

As soon as Carlos finished speaking, the lights in the operating room went off, and Evan Palmer was the first to approach. Doctor Reed and his medical team came out.

"How is it?"

"The Old Master’s condition is not very optimistic, his high blood pressure has likely caused cerebral hemorrhage, and his heart rate is too high to immediately perform surgery to remove the clot.

If this continues, he may never wake up again."

Once Doctor Reed spoke, Evan Palmer turned and swung a slap towards Emily Parker.

"Murderer! You’re the murderer!"
