Chapter 303 One After AnotherÂ
After his outburst, Ethan rose from his seat. He didn’t give a damn that Emily had just had a dilation and curettage, nor did he care about the blood seeping from her forehead where it hit the bedrail.Â
Without a word, he stormed out of the room.Â
Emily slumped on the hospital bed, her forehead pressed against the bedrail. Too weak to move, she turned her head and watched Ethan’s figure fade from sight.Â
“Ha…”Â
She lost track of how long she stayed like that.Â
It was so long that her body went numb. Only then did the doctor push open the door and enter the ward.Â
Concerned, the doctor approached, helped Emily sit up straight, and tucked the covers around her.Â
“Are you okay?” he asked gently.Â
Emily shook her head blankly but didn’t say a word.Â
The doctor was still worried. “The incomplete dilation and durettage caused severe bleeding. Luckily, you were brought in12Â

time. After the procedure and hemostasis, you’re out of danger,” he explained.Â
As a doctor herself, Emily knew what had happened. Still, she replied, “Yeah.”Â
The doctor hated to break more bad news, but he had to. “The dilation and curettage thinned your endometrium. It’ll be tough for you to conceive again.”Â
Emily, though a pediatric surgeon, understood the implications.Â
Calmly, she said, “Got it.”Â
The doctor was taken aback by her calmness and didn’t know what else to say.Â
After checking her condition, he left the ward.Â
Emily curled up under the covers, silently wiping away herÂ
tears.Â
Not long after, the nurse came in.Â
Hearing the sniffles, she said worriedly, “You just had the dilation and curettage. It’s like a postpartum recovery. No crying, or your eyes will give you trouble later.”Â
Emily just murmured, “Um.”Â

After the nurse left, Emily felt even more aggrieved.Â
The blood on her forehead had dried, and the pain had subsided.Â
It was going to be a long, sleepless night.Â
Emily tossed and turned but couldn’t fall asleep.Â
Thinking about Ethan’s words, she was confused about what he really wanted.Â
It was not until 2 a.m. that Emily finally dozed off.Â
But just as she fell asleep, someone yanked the covers off.Â
The cold air hit her, and she instinctively opened her eyes.Â
Gradually, she recognized the person standing there—Emma.Â
Huddled on the bed, Emily faced Emma, who stood menacinglyÂ
beside it.Â
“Emily, how dare you abort the Wilson family’s kid? You’re asking for it!” Emma gritted her teeth, venom in her voice.Â
Too weak to respond, Emily just looked up at her.Â

Emma got even angrier at the silence. She stepped forward and slapped Emily across the face.Â
“How dare you ignore me? Who do you think you are?” she shrieked, not caring that Emily was Ethan’s wife.Â
Emily turned her head, and five red finger marks appeared on her cheek.Â
With bloodshot eyes, she stared at Emma and sneered, “You’re just being a crazy bitch while you can.”Â
Emma’s anger flared up. She rushed over, straddled Emily, and started hitting and pinching her.Â
Too weak to fight back, Emily could only endure.Â
Emma finally wore herself out from the relentless assault and stopped, heaving breaths like a broken bellows. Beneath her straddling form, Emily lay pale as a sheet, her face a ghastly sight.Â
Her body was marred with red welts, evidence of Emma’s cruel pinches.Â
Surveying her handiwork, Emma smirked in satisfaction.Â
But her malice wasn’t sated. Gritting her teeth, she dug her fingers into Emily’s arm, spitting out insults like veno___“You’re2Â

such a bad luck charm. You never should’ve married into the Wilson family.Â
“Why are you giving me that look? Why don’t you just kick the bucket?Â
“How dare you mess with a Wilson kid? You don’t value your own worthless life.Â
“You and your whole family are nothing but low–class trash!”Â
Trapped on the hospital bed, Emily could only try to wriggle away from Emma’s onslaught.Â
She was so weak that even the thought of fighting back was beyond her.Â
Too exhausted to even bother refuting the insults, she just endured it all.Â
Just as Emma seemed intent on continuing her torment, her phone rang.Â
The voice on the other end must have delivered some shocking news, for Emma’s face paled in an instant.Â
“Alright, I got it. I’ll be there right away,” she said in a panickedÂ
rush.Â

Whatever it was, it was urgent enough for her to abandon this golden opportunity to torture Emily.Â
Without so much as a backward glance, she dashed out of theÂ
room.Â
Once Emma was gone, Emily let out a long, ragged sigh of relief. But she was too enfeebled to do anything but watch as the red marks on her arms slowly morphed into dark bruises.Â
Emily wasn’t sure when sleep claimed her. She was utterly drained, her body sticky with sweat.Â
In that hazy state between wake and slumber, she heard the creak of the ward door opening.Â
Her nerves were like live wires, and at the slightest sound, her eyes snapped open.Â
A man entered the room–Tyrone.Â
Emily knew from the moment she saw him that it wasn’t going to be good news. Instead of trying to avoid him, she just gave a bitter laugh and asked, “So, what’s your deal this time?”Â
Tyrone, surprisingly calm, took a seat on the chair beside the bed. Looking at Emily, battered and bruised, he said, “My sister had a high–risk exposure.”Â

That very night, Lydia was assisting her mentor in a surgery. In a moment of carelessness, she cut through her glove and nicked her own flesh.Â
And to make matters worse, the patient they were operating onÂ
had AIDS.Â
The operating room had erupted into chaos.Â
A flicker of concern crossed Emily’s eyes as she listened. “Did she take the post–exposure prophylaxis?” she asked.Â
Tyrone didn’t answer directly. Instead, he leaned in closer and said, “You’re probably over the moon, aren’t you?”Â
Emily was taken aback. “What are you talking about?”Â
