Carlos returned to the villa, and it was already evening.
He thought that Emily would come back early to explain herself to him. freёweɓnovel.com
But it wasn’t until after 8 o’clock that Emily got off work and returned.
When Emily arrived at the villa, she saw Carlos sitting in the living room, waiting for her.
In the ashtray in front of the man, there was a pile of cigarette butts.
When Emily walked in, he snuffed out his cigarette carelessly.
“I’ve been waiting for you all night, I haven’t even had dinner.”
Carlos spoke with a chilling voice, which was unusual for him since he had always treated Emily with respect throughout their marriage.
Emily was taken aback.
She came back late from the pharmacy tonight because she had taken the morning off.
She didn’t expect Carlos to wait for her dinner.
Emily, feeling guilty, intended to apologize.
“But we signed a marital agreement, we must absolutely loyal to each other.
What about you?
What have you been hiding and doing?”
Carlos, hunger gnawing at his stomach, had never waited for a woman before, and now he was filled with rage.
Absolute loyalty?
Emily instantly thought of the girl who had thrown herself into Carlos’ arms in front of Cloud Lake Villa.
She bit her lip lightly.
“I don’t know in what way I have violated our marital agreement.”
Bang—
Carlos kicked with his long leg, sending the marble coffee table in front of him several meters away.
As the esteemed Crown Prince of the Capital Circle, aside from his father, no one else had ever spoken to him that way.
“What were you up to today?
You know best yourself.”
Emily remembered that she had gone to the selection for the image ambassador role.
Was Carlos upset about that?
“I went to the image ambassador selection.
It was an assignment from People’s Hospital.
Our marital agreement clearly states that you don’t oppose my work.
I was going to tell you, but you’ve been busy these past days, and I didn’t want to disturb your work.”
Upon hearing this, Carlos let out a scoff.
“Are you complaining about me?”
“I’ve always abided by our agreement.
You’re the one who’s not in any position to speak of marital loyalty.”
Saying so, Emily, huffily, went upstairs.
Carlos furrowed his brow; when had he ever failed to honor marital loyalty?
Could it be that Emily knew about Rainny White?
Right, Rainny also participated in the Capital’s image ambassador selection.
Did they meet there?
But his relationship with Rainny was clear and innocent; he had never even held her hand.
Carlos grew more irritated as he thought about it and went upstairs to argue with Emily.
When Carlos got to the door, he reached out to open it and found the bedroom door was locked from the inside.
Carlos nearly kicked the door down in his anger.
Just then, the door suddenly opened.
Carlos’s expression eased slightly, about to step inside.
Suddenly a quilt and a pillow flew out, landing in Carlos’ arms.
The next moment, the door slammed shut again.
Carlos was left out in the cold, his expression darkening.
He wanted to explode, but he restrained the impulse to kick the door, recalling that the baby advice book said that babies in the womb can sense things, and he didn’t want his child to think he was a father prone to domestic violence.
With a grim face, Carlos carried the pillow and quilt to the study.
He spent the night in the study, too upset to sleep.
As dawn approached and he was just about to drift off, an urgent ring of his phone woke him.
Carlos took a call, and his face turned uglier.
When Emily came downstairs, it was already broad daylight.
Waking up in the morning, she felt some regret.
She was not one to lose her temper, but being pregnant, her mood was easily affected by Carlos.
Their marriage was an agreement; for this year, they should treat each other with respect for her and the baby’s well-being.
Emily didn’t see Carlos but learned from the servants that he had rushed out before dawn.
“It seems there was a phone call from Cloud Lake Villa, the young master looked very upset.”
The servant’s words made Emily frown.
Emily returned to her room, took out her pager, and turned it on…
People’s Hospital emergency room.
It just so happened to be Doctor Adam Willow’s shift.
A nurse walked in.
“Doctor Willow, there’s an emergency patient.
Her family says she’s been poisoned, and her condition is very dangerous.”
With that, Evan Palmer pushed a woman in.
Evan also gave a deeper look when he saw Adam.
Neither of them spoke.
Only then did Adam see the woman in the wheelchair; she was around 40 years old, looking haggard with a face pale as paper.
Upon a closer look, her fingertips and lips were turning a cyanotic color, clear signs of poisoning.
“Are you Doctor Willow?”
Evan extended his hand, shaking hands with Adam.
I’m a friend of Doctor Bennet, she told me that your People’s Hospital has advanced medical technology.
At this time, other hospitals haven’t yet started working, so I had no choice but to bring my wife here for treatment first.
She had been treated by a ‘quack,’ and as a result, her condition worsened.”
Evan said, looking worried, holding Mrs.
Carter’s hand.
Mrs.
Carter’s hand was ice cold; just a few days ago, her condition had improved, but this morning when she woke up, Mrs.
Carter suddenly started convulsing uncontrollably, losing consciousness.
Evan immediately, along with the butler, rushed her to People’s Hospital.
While Evan was speaking, a man walked in briskly.
“Hold on,”
Carlos quickly approached Mrs.
Carter.
Evan’s brow furrowed slightly; he hadn’t notified Carlos.
The butler hastened to speak,
“Sir, I informed the young master.”
Carlos saw that Mrs.
Carter was already unconscious, storm clouds brewing in his eyes.
“Cause of disaster, it’s all your fault.
You just had to have that so-called Ghost Doctor treat your mother.
Look at her now, hovering between life and death, if anything happens to her, I will never let you off.
You are not to have a say in your mother’s treatment from now on.”
In the presence of everyone, Evan reprimanded Carlos, while Doctor Adam looked hard at Carlos.
Carlos?
It was the first time Doctor Adam had come face-to-face with Carlos.
Carlos seemed somewhat different from the profligate young master spoken of in rumors.
