Chapter 112 He Didn’t Care 

When Ethan first appeared at the doorway, Emily had even begun to reflect on her own fault. 

She wondered whether she should not have treated Ethan that way. After all, they were not divorced yet. 

But looking at things now, she realized that everything she had been thinking was nothing more than her own wishful imagination. 

Ethan headed downstairs, and she followed him numbly. 

She didn’t know how they reached the ground floor. Ethan got into the driver’s seat but didn’t open the door for her. 

He had always treated Emily and Nancy as two entirely different people. 

If it had been Nancy, he would have opened the door for her, shielded her head, lifted the hem of her dress, and fastened her seat belt for her. 

Emily still chose to sit in the back seat. She didn’t know where Ethan was taking her. The entire drive passed without a single word between them. 

He didn’t mention a single word about what had hap_ned 2:51

He seemed to be in a hurry, driving fast. Through the rearview mirror, Emily could see his jaw clenched tight, his lips pressed into a thin line. 

His phone kept ringing along the way, but he didn’t answer it, allowing the screen to light up again and again. 

Emily couldn’t see who was calling, but she knew it was probably not Nancy. He would never bear to ignore Nancy’s call. 

It was only when the car came to a stop that Emily realized Ethan had brought her to the hospital where he worked. 

Ethan didn’t give her any chance to ask why. He got out of the car and headed straight into the hospital, only telling her to follow. 

They reached the emergency observation unit. Emily looked through the partially open door and saw a man lying on the bed. 

Looking closer, she realized it was Aaron. 

Emily froze, panic rising instantly. She reached out instinctively to push the door open. 

At that moment, Ethan grabbed her hand. “I want to talk to 

you about something.”

Emily’s eyes welled up as she turned and stared at him. “What do you want to say?” 

Ethan narrowed his eyes. “I want Aaron to perform a surgery.” 

Hearing that, Emily understood. 

She understood why Ethan had suddenly returned to Los Angeles, why he had shown up at the hotel, and why he had been in such a hurry. 

Everything he had done was for one purpose. To have Aaron perform a surgery. 

He didn’t need to say who the surgery was for. Emily could already guess that this person’s place in his heart far outweighed that of her, his wife. 

In the five years of their marriage, Emily had experienced Ethan’s coldness too many times. 

That year, Sophia was not yet one year old, crawling everywhere. Emily had run a high fever all day that would not break. Her head felt muddled, and her whole body felt weak and limp. 

Emily stayed by Sophia’s side, but Sophie was restless, crawling around the floor looking for toys. Emily didn’t have the energy to cope, so she sent Ethan a message. [Can you 3/7

come back and stay with Sophie and me? I have a fever, and I really cannot hold on.] 

Ethan: [If you have a fever, take some medicine. I’m not a doctor. Rebecca is at home too. Let her put Sophie to bed.] 

When Emily read those words, she felt disoriented. She recognized every single word, yet strung together, they felt unbearably unfamiliar. 

After that, she even fell into depression for a time. Later, she learned that the reason Ethan had not come back was because that he had gone to fight someone else’s battle on behalf of his 

assistant. 

There were many people he cared about. But Emily, his wife, didn’t even rank among them. 

How pathetic! 

Pulling her drifting thoughts back, Emily lifted her face and asked Ethan, “Who’s the surgery for?” 

Ethan didn’t say it outright. “You don’t need to know.” 

Emily didn’t press further. “I cannot make decisions for Aaron. Besides, he is lying in a hospital bed right now. His physical condition is still unclear. Whether he can even operate is another matter.”

Ethan spoke bluntly, “It’s a very important surgery. I’ve asked many people, but he’s the only one who can do it.” 

Emily was momentarily dazed, thinking of what Aaron had once told her. He had said to trust him, that he could handle Andrew’s targeting on his own. 

Now it seemed possible that this surgery Ethan mentioned, the one only Aaron could perform, might be an opportunity. 

Even so, Emily held firm. “You should ask Aaron himself. I don’t have the right to make choices for anyone else.” 

Ethan fell silent for a moment. When he spoke again, he said, “Emily, this is extremely urgent. If I could persuade Aaron myself, I wouldn’t be wasting words with you here.” 

There was an undercurrent of anger in his voice. 

Emily looked up at him and said with a faint, mocking smile, “Urgent? So your matters are urgent, and everyone else’s are trivial?” 

Just one day earlier, she had been unable to contact Aaron and had even gone to Santa Barbara. At that time, what was his attitude? 

Why was it that when it concerned him, suddenly it was no longer a trivial matter?

Ethan clearly didn’t want to hear Emily dredge up old 

grievances. He got straight to the point. “Andrew’s mother was suddenly hospitalized with an emergency condition. It was diagnosed as brain tumor compression. 

“His mother is very important to him, and this surgery can only be done by Aaron. You are close to him. If you go and ask, he won’t refuse. But if I go, what do you think he’ll do?” 

Emily didn’t want to listen. “How would I know that?” 

Ethan didn’t bother to argue further. With a cold expression, he threatened, “You can refuse to go. I can also make a call right now. With one sentence from me, everyone in the Carter family will be affected.” 

Emily grew even angrier. “You have always been this arrogant. Andrew did those things to Aaron. If it were you, could you really forgive it?” 

Ethan remained silent. 

Emily continued, “If you want to go after my family, go ahead. But think carefully. After you do, will Aaron still be willing to perform this surgery?” 

Ethan looked at her quietly. After a long while, he turned around and left without saying a single word.
