Chapter 916: Chapter 916: Bursting In with a Knife
He finished speaking and turned to walk out of the hospital room.
Hope Williams furrowed her brow and said coldly, “Stop right there.”
Wyatt Lewis’s knuckles turned white, but he forced himself to stop.
He didn’t turn around, but the anger emanating from him was palpable to everyone from his back.
“What good will it do if you go now? Without evidence, what can you do to them?”
Wyatt’s anger remained uncontrollable.
After all this time, it turned out everything was just a play directed and acted out by those two women.
He actually felt guilty towards Emma Winton.
Thinking back now, everything seemed utterly laughable.
They were capable of such despicable means, those two were truly inhuman.
Zoey Sanders was even more innocent, yet got entangled in this mess.
Against an innocent person, they could so freely inflict harm; did they even have a heart?
He had the mind to kill those two right now.
Wyatt took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, “So what should we do now? Apart from waiting for Zoey to wake up, is there no other way?”
Hope said, “There’s no other evidence for now, but since Zoey knew something, Emma and the others must be afraid of Zoey waking up. They think they’ve covered all bases, but Zoey is the only variable in their plan now. I’m worried they might harm Zoey, so protecting her is the utmost priority.”
Matriarch Sanders, Lucy Parker, sat beside Zoey, holding her hand throughout, staring vacantly at her, calmly listening to everything that unfolded. Hearing the part about those two women still wanting to harm her daughter, Lucy’s eyes flashed with an intense ruthlessness.
Alitzel Williams looked complex, thinking about how Aria Richardson agreed to take care of Emma, her heart full of rage, “Aria, don’t go take care of Emma. She doesn’t deserve it.”
“No.” Aria shook her head, “I have to go. Without evidence, we can’t act against them. We haven’t openly confronted them yet, and while I’m there, I can keep an eye on them. If I find anything, it’ll be good.”
Someone gently knocked at the door, and a nurse pushed it open, “Is Miss Richardson here?”
“I am.”
“Miss Emma Winton in the VIP ward was looking for you just now.”
Aria nodded, “I know.”
Alitzel Williams let out an angry snort, “Emma is simply outrageous.”
Wyatt grabbed Aria’s hand, “I’ll go with you.”
“No need, you’re too hot-tempered. I’m afraid you’ll lose control when you see Emma and really beat her up.”
“But…”
“But what? You said before the wedding you’d listen to me in everything. It’s only been a few hours and you’re not keeping your word?”
Wyatt pressed his thin lips tight, “Isn’t this different?”
“Why is it different?” Aria looked at Wyatt, “Alright, I’m leaving.”
At Emma’s ward, when Aria entered, Emma’s cold gaze fell upon her, full of resentment without any concealment.
“Where did Miss Richardson go? Aren’t you supposed to take care of me? Is this the attitude you have for taking care of me?”
Aria walked over, “How should I take care of you? You’re not yet at the point where you need someone to wait on you hand and foot, are you?”
Emma laughed coldly, her bloodless lips curled into a frosty arc, “Over there, Chloe accidentally broke a few glass cups. You should clean them up.”
Aria’s gaze fell on the glass shards on the floor, and without saying much, she moved to get a broom to clean them up.
Chloe Woods stood by, let out a cold snort, “Did I tell you to use tools? Use your hands to clean.”
Aria glanced at the sharp glass fragments on the floor and didn’t do as they said.
Emma said, “What? Aren’t you going to repay the favor for Wyatt Lewis by doing this for me? Is this your attitude? Not even willing to clean up some glass shards?”
“You’re being maliciously difficult.”
“Yes, I’m making things difficult for you on purpose, so what?” If it weren’t for her and Wyatt, she wouldn’t have ended up like this.
She was filled with rage and hatred, and naturally, she needed to vent these emotions.
“Didn’t you agree to come and take care of me? Then you’re no different from the servants in my ward, and should follow my commands, right?” Emma’s eyes were ice cold.
“Did you hear that?” Chloe Woods pushed Aria heavily, “Don’t think you’re high and mighty just because you married Wyatt. Let me tell you…”
“Bang.” The hospital room door was suddenly pushed open.
Emma and Chloe Woods were startled, looking together at the stranger standing at the doorway. Chloe was about to step forward and confront her, “Who are you? Entering without knocking…”
Before she finished speaking, Chloe’s eyes widened at the knife in the woman’s hand, “What are you going to do?”
Lucy Parker’s face was grim and terrifying, “Are you two still trying to harm my daughter?”
