Mr. Warner, Your Wife is Running Away Again!-Chapter 590: I Told You to Stop Crying!

The term "tender-hearted" would never appear associated with Miles Sterling.

At this moment, Vanessa Sterling’s tears seemed to make him angrier than ever before.

Because he felt that these tears were shed for Quentin Sterling.

He roughly grabbed Vanessa Sterling’s long hair, which was tied up behind her head, forcing her to lift her head and look him in the eye as he howled at her like a madman, "Stop crying! I told you to stop crying!!"

The more he yelled, the more violent he became, and the more her tears wouldn’t stop.

She seemed to feel something rapidly flowing out of her nose, dripping onto her white formal dress, blooming into a crimson flower.

"Vanessa?!"

Audrey Sutton and Seraphina Vaughn, planning to go to the restroom together while joking, originally thought they were witnessing some couple in a secluded spot sneaking a moment. But once Audrey Sutton realized it was Vanessa Sterling and Miles Sterling, she sensed something was wrong.

Audrey Sutton quickly lifted her skirt and walked over, pulling Vanessa Sterling away from Miles Sterling, frowning in displeasure and couldn’t help but curse at Miles Sterling, "Are you insane?!"

Vanessa Sterling’s nose was bleeding, tears were streaming down from her swollen cheeks, and her updo was messed up by Miles Sterling, making her look both frantic and somewhat shocking.

Seraphina Vaughn hurriedly took out tissues from her bag to wipe the blood from Vanessa Sterling’s face, but before she could clean it completely, more nosebleed started flowing again: "Audrey, take her inside; I’ll find out if there’s a family doctor around here."

Audrey Sutton didn’t care what Miles Sterling was thinking at the moment, nor was she afraid to offend him, and directly supported Vanessa Sterling to walk quickly indoors.

Miles Sterling just stood there, looking down at the blood that had accidentally dripped onto his hand. It hadn’t completely dried yet, and as he wiped it with his hand, it left a long mark on the back of his hand.

Looking at this bloodstain, he seemed even more troubled inside.

The hall did not change just because of the two flustered women.

People were still clustered in groups, laughing and talking among themselves.

Audrey Sutton found an empty booth in the corner, and Vanessa Sterling used a tissue to block her nose, but as soon as it was placed in, it was soaked with blood. Audrey Sutton, having no experience stopping a nosebleed, just anxiously watched Vanessa Sterling, helping her replace the tissue wads.

Seraphina Vaughn soon brought over the Sue Family’s doctor, and by the time the doctor arrived, the bleeding seemed to have stopped.

The doctor didn’t instruct Vanessa Sterling on anything, instead impatiently remarked that they were making a big fuss, then walked away.

Seraphina Vaughn glared at the doctor’s back and cursed, "Like dogs, like their masters, all the same."

Vanessa Sterling casually tucked the hair falling at the side of her face, and softly said, "...Thank you both."

Audrey Sutton received the wet tissues handed over by Seraphina Vaughn and gently wiped the tear streaks and blood from Vanessa Sterling’s face, asking her, "Does he often treat you this way?"

Vanessa Sterling lowered her eyes and stayed silent; she used to be reluctant to let her friends know about her situation, not wanting to trouble others with her issues, so in the past, when Audrey Sutton asked this, she would always find an excuse to brush it off lightly.

But this time, Audrey Sutton saw it with her own eyes, and she didn’t know how to conceal it.

From her silence, the answer was not hard to discern.

Seraphina Vaughn stood by Vanessa Sterling, combing her messy hair like a big sister, cursing, "Really inhumane, bullying a little girl just because he’s big and strong?"

Audrey Sutton: "Were he not your brother, I’d have called the police to arrest him."

Vanessa Sterling recalled that feeling of helplessness and inability to break free, and tears couldn’t help but swirl in her eyes, though she tried hard not to let them fall.

Seraphina Vaughn: "Does that kind of man deserve to be called a brother? Look at your family, the other brothers all protect their sisters. Which one beats their sister within an inch of her life? No, we need to talk to him later. Just thinking about it makes me furious. If he likes to fight so much, I’ll find a few professionals to spar with him later."

Vanessa Sterling wiped her eyes with her hand, took a deep breath, and said, "Don’t go looking for him. When he’s angry, nothing gets through to him. Once he calms down, it’ll be fine."

Seraphina Vaughn: "Why take out his anger on you? What’s his problem? I have no respect for men who hit women!"

Audrey Sutton: "Vanessa, come stay with me for a while; I’m afraid he might hurt you again."

Vanessa Sterling hesitated for a few seconds but shook her head.

She knew that no one could be her shield forever. Audrey could protect her for a day or two, but could she shield her for life?

Her escape and avoidance might only make Miles Sterling more furious, and she had seen how terrifyingly irrational he could become, capable of doing anything.

Vanessa Sterling was also afraid of implicating Audrey Sutton, so she declined Audrey’s offer.

Audrey Sutton could understand Vanessa’s struggle and helplessness, but she couldn’t think of a perfect way to resolve this.

If it were domestic violence between a couple, perhaps they could call the police and have the court handle a divorce. But they were siblings; even if the police were involved, it might just result in mediation. They couldn’t possibly sever their sibling relationship, could they?

Vanessa Sterling was naturally timid, or rather, she was powerless to fight back against anything, which is why she numbly chose to endure.

Seraphina Vaughn tidied Vanessa’s hair and tied it up in a simple ponytail, making her look a little less disheveled than before. She sighed and said, "... You still need to go to the hospital for a check-up. You lost so much blood; you don’t want to end up with internal injuries."

Vanessa Sterling indeed felt somewhat dizzy, but compared to before, this time was easier for her; at least she was conscious: "It’s okay, just a bit of a nosebleed, I’m sorry to trouble you all."

Seraphina Vaughn went to pour Vanessa Sterling a cup of hot water, and the two stayed with Vanessa.

Initially, they intended to comfort Vanessa Sterling’s spirit after such an ordeal, but they realized her inner strength was more substantial than they imagined.

Perhaps because such occurrences had become too frequent, her fear and dread had transformed into numbness, making her appear exceptionally calm now—a calm that ached the heart.

In conversation, Vanessa Sterling inadvertently saw Quentin Sterling passing by. At that instant, Quentin also saw her, but his gaze lingered for less than a second before he turned away indifferently, continuing to walk forward.

Vanessa Sterling’s eyes dimmed slightly, her heart sighed as she lowered her gaze.

In the past, if Quentin Sterling saw her hurt, he was the first and only one to care for her.

That warmth would probably never be felt again.

Recalling the ice-cold hatred in his eyes, Vanessa Sterling felt as if a sharp ice dagger pierced her heart.

It made her feel enveloped in cold, overwhelmed with uncontrollable heartache.

The gentle uncle she knew, perhaps would never return...
