Chapter 311 Emily Was in the Obstetrics WardÂ
Ryan shot Alexander a disdainful look and remainedÂ
silent.Â
Beside them, Chloe, noticing the tension, gave Ryan a gentle nudge and then addressed Alexander, “Well, Emily’s been hanging around Joy Gardens these days.”Â
Alexander’s brows knitted together, and the spark in his eyes faded. He let out a wry laugh, muttering, “Figures.”Â
Chloe picked up on Alexander’s disappointment and elaborated, “But today’s an odd one. I called her earlier, and she said she had to pull an extra shift. So I thought I’d bring her some food. But when I got to the hospital, her department was empty, and it wasn’t even her turn to be on duty.”Â
A sense of unease crept over Alexander. “Let’s head over to Joy Gardens and see what’s up.”Â
Before long, their car pulled up at the grand entrance of Joy Gardens‘ upscale villa community.Â

Ethan and Nancy flanked little Sophia, holding her tiny hands. Sophia, full of energy, would bounce up, using their support to lift herself off the ground.Â
Her infectious laughter filled the air.Â
The sound of her laughter rubbed Alexander the wrong way. His mind wandered to Tommy.Â
It just didn’t seem fair. Sophia had messed up, but after a beating from Molly, it was like nothing had ever happened.Â
Tommy, on the other hand, was left to deal with the emotional scars.Â
Alexander stared intently at Ethan’s back, his fists tightening involuntarily.Â
He’d always been envious of Ethan. Why did Ethan get to have Emily? Why did Emily dote on him so much?Â
Unable to bear the sight any longer, Alexander turned his head away.Â
Just then, Ryan spat out, “Disgusting.”Â

directed at Ethan’s group.Â
Seeing that Alexander and Ryan were still sitting in the car, Chloe spoke up, “I’ll go and have a word with them.”Â
Just as Chloe was about to open the car door, Alexander’s phone beeped with incoming messages. “Hold on, Chloe. Emily’s not here,” he informed her.Â
Ryan immediately asked, “Then where could she be?”Â
Chloe, equally perplexed, looked at Alexander with a questioning gaze.Â
Alexander paused for a moment, a wry smile on his face. “She’s at the hospital,” he finally said.Â
However, Chloe misinterpreted his words. “But I was just there! It wasn’t her shift,” she exclaimed, a hint of panicÂ
in her voice.Â
Alexander explained, “Chloe, she’s not there as a staff member. She’s a patient.”Â
Chloe’s eyes widened as she finally grasped the situation. Remembering Emily’s evasive answers during their phone call earlier, she said, “No wonder she was being so cagey.Â

on her.”Â
As he stared out of the window, Alexander’s heart felt as cold as ice. “She’s in the obstetrics ward,” he said flatly.Â
The implications hung heavy in the air.Â
Was she there for a prenatal check–up? Or miscarriage?Â
Chloe froze, her mouth agape. “Ah?”Â
Alexander took a deep breath and said, “You guys go to the hospital. I… I can’t face it right now.”Â
Upon hearing Alexander’s words, Ryan let out aÂ
contemptuous sneer. “Bah, just a couple of scumbags,” he hissed.Â
With that, he flung open the car door and stepped out.Â
Then he yanked open the rear door and called to Chloe, “Come on, let’s split.”Â
Before getting out, Chloe glanced at Alexander twice. Seeing he was unresponsive, she finally alighted from theÂ
carÂ

The cut started bleeding, but he seemed oblivious.Â
Staring at the blood welling in his palm, his eyes suddenly welled up with tears.Â
As they dropped onto the blood, they splattered it everywhere.Â
At that moment, Alexander’s mind was a whirlwind ofÂ
chaos.Â
He felt like his brain had shut down.Â
A message from his subordinate had confirmed that Emily was in the hospital, and it was the obstetrics ward.Â
There were only two possible explanations that came to mind, both equally gut–wrenching.Â
It seemed Emily had been having sex with Ethan all this time.Â
Just the thought made his heart twist in pain. He raised his hand and slapped himself across the face twice.Â
‘ve been such a damned fool,” he berated himself.Â

Meanwhile, Ryan and Chloe raced to the hospital and found the obstetrics inpatient area.Â
At the nurse’s desk, they got Emily’s room number.Â
As they hustled down the corridor towards the room, Vanessa stepped out of the doctor’s office.Â
Their paths crossing, Vanessa’s heart skipped a beat.Â
Quick as a flash, she took out her phone and texted Emily: [Ryan and Chloe are here.]Â
After sending the message, she looked up and greeted them with feigned surprise, “Hey there! What are you guys doing here?”Â
At the sight of Vanessa, Ryan’s brows knitted. Getting straight to the point, he asked, “Where’s Emily?”Â
Vanessa tried to dodge the question. “Ryan, Emily just dozed off. Maybe we oughta let her be.”Â
Ryan sensed it was fishy. His frown deepening, he pressed on. “What happened to Emily?”Â

“Ryan, when Emily decided on the divorce, she aborted her second baby. The D&C wasn’t done right, so she had a major hemorrhage and ended up here.”Â
