Hearing this, Emily hesitated briefly. Eventually, she still declined Alexander’s offer to accompany her. 

Rather than arguing, Alexander decided to hold his peace. 

Even though she didn’t want him around, he was determined to shadow her secretly. 

Supported by Chloe, Emily headed towards the pediatric internal–medicine department. 

From a distance, she spotted Ethan and Rebecca sitting on a bench, lost in a heavy silence. 

The sound of approaching footsteps made Ethan look up. At the sight of Emily, looking utterly drained, he furrowed his brows. 

The accusations he’d prepared faded on his lips. 

Since Sophia was out of danger, there seemed no point in starting a fight. 

Breaking the silence, Emily asked, “How’s Sophie doing?” 

Ethan replied with a touch of annoyance, “She’s in the ICU!7:24

Unable to hold back, Ethan shot back, “If you’ve got time to grill me, why didn’t you come when I messaged you about Sophie?” 

Stung by his words, Emily let out a self–deprecating laugh. “Are you sure Sophie wants me around? She wants you and Nancy. Do you really think she’d be happy with me taking care of her?” 

Ethan didn’t answer directly. With bloodshot eyes, he simply said, “But you’re her mom.” 

That simple word, “mom“, had been a heavy burden on Emily. 

She felt her body shaking, on the verge of collapse. Thankfully, Chloe held her firmly. 

Gazing into Ethan’s cold, bloodshot eyes, Emily took a deep breath. “Ethan, I’m not a machine. I can’t just focus on Sophie 24/7.” 

Exhaustion made her voice hoarse. 

Ethan looked up at her, trying to keep his emotions in check. “So you can just ignore your daughter’s life–and–death situation? When I…” 

Before he could finish, Emily exploded. Her voice thundered over his, “And who ever cared about my life?”

After the outburst, her throat started to burn. Emily coughed violently, and a small spot of blood appeared in her palm. 

Chloe quickly handed her a tissue and patted her back. “Emily, calm down. You’ve got to take care of yourself if no one else does.” 

Rebecca was startled. She instinctively rose to help, but Chloe fixed Ethan with an angry look. “Emily’s been running a fever since last night. As soon as I told her about Sophie, she insisted on coming. She almost keeled over several times on the way, but she still made it. If you say she doesn’t care about Sophie, I won’t buy it. She wouldn’t have risked her health if she didn’t.” 

Then, turning to Emily, Chloe said, “Come on, let’s go back.” 

Emily was utterly drained, too exhausted to utter a single word. The last thing she wanted was to stay there any longer, so she just gave a feeble nod. 

As Chloe helped her up and they started to leave, Emily couldn’t resist one last look back at Ethan. “Ethan, think it over on your own,” she murmured, her voice barely above a whisper. 

Those words from Emily seemed to douse the flames of Ethan’s 

anger. 

Taking a good look at her battered state, he realized she was in 3/5 

no better shape than Sophia.

to come out. 

Rebecca was beside herself with impatience. “For goodness‘ sake, Mr. Wilson! Mrs. Wilson’s in such a mess. Go after her!” 

Ethan ignored her plea. Instead, he calmly said, “You can head back. Just make sure to bring Sophie’s breakfast here bright and early tomorrow.” 

With a resigned sigh, Rebecca knew there was no point in arguing further. She turned on her heel and walked away. 

Meanwhile, Chloe and Emily had just reached the elevator when the doors slid open. Out stepped Alexander. 

One glance at Emily on the verge of collapsing, and he didn’t hesitate for a second. In two long strides, he was by her side and swept her up into his arms. 

At that very moment, the doors of another elevator opened. 

Nancy stepped out and caught sight of Alexander holding Emily. 

She froze for a moment, then blurted out, “Mr. Lessing?” 

However, Alexander didn’t even spare her a glance. It was usually–gentle Chloe who snapped, “Get out of the way, will you, Ms. Thompson? You don’t want to be a pain in the neck, 4/5 do you?”

Just as the doors were shutting, Nancy sneered, “What a pathetic bitch.” 

Inside the elevator, Chloe heard the insult but didn’t bat an eyelid. 

Her full attention was on Emily. 

Having been in the cut–throat world of the modeling industry, she had developed a thick skin. 

Nancy’s words were like a drop in the ocean compared to what she had heard over the years. She had endured far worse and come across people much more despicable than Nancy. 

Alexander held Emily tightly in his arms, his heart pounding like a drum. As he saw the blood on her face, his panic grew 

even more. 

Emily’s face was nestled against his chest, her eyes closed. 

“Emily, stay with me. Don’t fall asleep. Look at me, please,” he pleaded, his voice laced with desperation.
