“I’m not playing around.”
“But you shouldn’t take Rosalind seriously! Your mother has already accepted Sirena as her daughter-in-law. Aren’t you afraid of upsetting her? Even if Sirena doesn’t matter to you, your mother is still your biological mother.”
Ulric didn’t answer, just pressed his thin lips together in silence.
His tall figure was half-hidden in the darkness.
Suddenly, the light at the emergency room door went out, and a doctor came out, removing his mask.
“Who is Sirena’s family member?”
Johnny immediately stepped forward, “I am! How is she?”
“The patient had excessive bleeding due to a torn surgical incision. We’ve re-stitched it, and she’ll be out soon.”
“So there’s no life-threatening danger, right?”
“Right, but you still need to be careful. After all, it’s an abdominal surgery. If it gets infected, things could get complicated.” With that, the doctor left.
Johnny let out a long sigh of relief upon hearing that she was okay.
Turning around, he saw Ulric about to leave!
He quickly caught up and grabbed his arm, “Leaving now? Isn’t that a bit heartless? Sirena will be out soon. At least help me get her to the ward. She doesn’t have many friends here, just you and me.”
“I have to go back. Rosalind was frightened by the sight of blood.”
Although he was in a hurry, he still caught a glimpse of Rosalind standing nearby, looking helpless.
“Aren’t you afraid that Sirena might get angry and report Rosalind for intentional harm?”
“…”
If he wasn’t worried about that, he wouldn’t have personally brought Sirena to the hospital.
He was concerned that if Sirena wasn’t treated in time and something happened, Rosalind, being involved, wouldn’t escape responsibility.
…
Seeing Ulric made Sirena naturally happy.
Her eyes were fixed on him, unwilling to look away even for a moment.
“I’m fine, don’t worry.” She weakly smiled, “And don’t blame Rosalind… She didn’t know I had a surgical incision. She pushed me in a moment of panic…”
Ulric said nothing, but Johnny frowned.
“Look at you, still thinking about these things! Besides, you shouldn’t have met Rosalind in the first place. She’s been claiming you framed her.”
“Don’t say that about her… Ulric is still here. No matter what, she’s Ulric’s… girlfriend.” Sirena was unwilling to admit that they were already married.
“But, ”
Johnny wanted to say more, but Sirena gave him a look to stop him.
Ulric’s handsome face already showed signs of impatience.
“Ulric, there must be a lot of work at the company. You should go back. Johnny can stay with me here.”
Though reluctant, Sirena had to maintain her understanding persona.
“Okay.” Ulric didn’t stand on ceremony. After a slight nod, he turned and walked away!
Johnny saw this and pouted.
“Why are you pretending to be so magnanimous? I barely managed to keep him here.”
“What good would it do if he stayed? His heart is already with Rosalind.” Sirena smiled bitterly, “Look, even though Rosalind put me in the hospital, Ulric has no intention of blaming her. As for the truth about the Huayi Enterprises project, does it even matter anymore? Ulric only believes her. In the end, I might really end up taking the fall for Rosalind.”
“No way! Who would believe you framed Rosalind? It’s absurd to even mention it!”
