Because I Was an and He Threw Away 307

Chapter 307 Tell Me 

After shouting at Shirley on the phone, Vanessa angrily slammed it down. 

She tossed the phone onto the hospital bed and then turned to Emily, her face etched with pain. Wrapping her arms around Emily, she blurted out, “What a terrible boss! Screw this job.” 

As a doctor, Emily was no stranger to being scolded by bosses. It was par for the course. 

But as Emily saw Vanessa so concerned about her, a lump welled up in her throat, and she felt like crying. 

Just then, Emily’s phone rang again. 

Figuring it was another call from the hospital, Vanessa snatched it up, ready to let loose another rant. But when she saw the caller ID, the fire in her eyes died down, 

She handed the phone to Emily and said, “It’s Chloe.” 

At the mention of Chloe, Emily’s face went pale, and her heart started pounding.

With a nervous flutter in her chest, she answered the call, “Hey, Chloe.” 

To her surprise, Chloe’s voice was calm. “Are you coming back to Carter Manor for dinner tonight? I’m not filming today, so I thought I’d cook at home. I know you love lasagna, so I was gonna make some.” 

At Chloe’s words, Emily’s nose twitched, and big, fat tears 

rolled down her cheeks. 

She bit her lip hard, trying to choke back the sobs. 

Not getting a response, Chloe called out tentatively, “Emily?” 

Taking a deep breath, Emily replied, “Chloe, I won’t be home tonight.” 

Concerned, Chloe asked, “What’s up? Is work giving you a hard time? Did someone pick on you?” 

“It’s nothing. I just have to work overtime,” Emily lied. 

Chloe said, “But you haven’t been back to Carter Manor forages. Your brother and Molly miss you. And your 

Mom and Dad keep talking about you.”

Emily let out a soft sob and quickly covered her mouth. Her voice came out muffled. “Chloe, I’ll be back in a 

couple of days. Gotta go. The patient’s family is calling me.” 

With that, she hung up before Chloe could say goodbye. 

After hanging up, Emily picked up the apple Vanessa had just peeled and took a bite. 

As she chewed, the tears kept flowing. 

Vanessa watched, her heart breaking. 

The bruises on Emily’s body hadn’t faded overnight; if anything, they looked even worse. 

It was clear that the attackers had really laid into her. 

After finishing the apple, Emily wiped her hands with a tissue. 

Then she grabbed her phone, unlocked it, and called the police. 

After a short wait, a man’s voice came on the line “Hello”

just checking if you’ve gone through the surveillance footage.” 

There was a brief pause before the officer replied, “We’ve checked, but there isn’t enough evidence to build a solid case. So we can’t just arrest anyone.” 

Frustrated, Emily shouted, “You always say there’s no evidence. What about the bruises all over my body?” 

The officer retorted lazily, “How do we know you didn’t do this to yourself?” 

Enraged, Emily roared, “Are you kidding me? Did I lose my marbles? Why would I hurt myself?” 

The officer sneered, “If you’re not nuts, what are you doing in the hospital?” 

Hearing this, Emily was too stunned to cry. She let out a bitter laugh, filled with desolation and helplessness. 

Emily didn’t want to listen to the officer anymore, so she hung up the phone.

Her call to the police was a waste of time. 

The moment Vanessa caught wind of Emily’s exchange with the police, her eyes narrowed sharply. In a low, intense tone, she said, “Emily, in this city, power talks. You’re wasting your time reaching out to anyone. Some messes are better dealt with under the radar. So tell me- 

who did this?” 

Emily, her brows knitted in concern, quickly retorted, “Vanessa, I don’t wanna get you in this mess.” 

Vanessa, however, was having none of it. Frustration laced her words as she burst out, “It’s gotta be the Wilson family. I’m not backing down from them.” 

Still, Emily tried to talk her out of it, but Vanessa just turned her head away. “Emily, maybe I can’t force the Wilsons to say sorry, but I’ll make sure they won’t have it easy,” she declared with steely resolve. 

Vanessa was well aware she was out of her depth on her own, but she knew there must be someone with the clout 

to settle the score. 

Seeing her friend’s unwavering determination, Emily 577 

decided to hold her tongue

The day passed with Emily confined to the hospital bed. 

With Vanessa at her side, the weight on her heart lightened a bit. 

As night fell, Vanessa announced she needed to head back to make up for the missed live–stream. 

Emily couldn’t come up with a reason to stop her, so she simply murmured, “Alright.” 

But beneath the surface, anxiety was taking root. 

Vanessa picked up on Emily’s jitters right away. “Don’t worry. I’ll do the live–stream right here in the bathroom,” she reassured. 

This offer finally made Emily exhale slowly in relief. 

After a night filled with terror, she didn’t want to relive that gut–wrenching unease. 

Even with Vanessa just a wall away, doing the live–stream in the bathroom, Emily’s nerves were still on high alert. 

Her eyes were glued to the ward door, every sense on 67 edge.

Across the digital divide, Michael was engrossed in Vanessa’s live–stream. Swirling a glass of rich red wine, he took a leisurely sip before his gaze landed back on the phone screen. 

And just then, a zooming–by comment caught his eye.
