Emily lost control and yelled at Angel with a hoarse voice while Angel covered her face and stared back. The anger in Emily’s eyes was so intense it was as though she wanted to burn Angel alive.
Angel was regretful when she pulled herself back together. She was here to ask Emily for help, so why did she end up hitting Azalea? Looking at Emily now, Angel knew it was impossible to have Emily’s aid now.
Madelyn saw Emily shouting at Angel and wanted to protect her. She immediately stepped forward and explained, “Sis, Azalea attacked me first! Look at my face and hair… Ms. Floyd just wanted to help me…”
“Get lost! Now! Or I’m calling the guards!”
“Can you be reasonable? You can’t keep protecting Azalea, allowing her to do whatever she wants! Mr. Floyd is your daughter no matter what, how could you…”
Hearing Madelyn’s words, Emily was so angry that she slapped her again. Before Madelyn could react, Emily had already begun to order the nurse. “Call the security guards! Immediately!”
Seeing that Emily was determined to call security, Angel and Madelyn then left the ward in disgrace.
Angel was angry as things turned out this way when she wanted to ask Emily for help. Plus, she was even slapped twice on her face.
On the way back, she began to scold Madelyn. “It’s all because of your incompetence. If you did not attack Azalea, would things turn out this way?”
“It’s not my fault. You saw it. It was that bitch who was stirring up trouble. She didn’t take you seriously and didn’t respect you. I was angry, plus she scolded me in such a bad way. That was why I couldn’t control myself.”
Madelyn felt wronged and tried to explain herself.
Angel sneered. “Anyway, you’re the one who caused this, so you are responsible for dealing with this matter for me or I won’t let you go so easily!”
Madelyn’s face and scalp were hurting, yet Angel seemed to not care at all and kept scolding her. This made Madelyn feel extremely wronged.
During this period of time, she had been so nice to Angel. She was beaten and scolded for her, and she had even gone to jail for her. Madelyn had done her best to help Angel. Even if her heart was made of stone, she should be warming up to Madelyn now, right?
But how did Angel treat her? From the beginning until now, Angel’s attitude toward her had remained extremely bad without any hint of care.
Madelyn did not do all that just to be bullied. She came here to help Angel because she wanted to reconcile with her. She came here to swallow her anger after thinking about the life of a rich wife. She used to think that she could make Angel reconcile with her. But now, seeing Angel’s ruthlessness and indifference, Madelyn began to doubt whether she had the ability to persuade Angel.
Angel complained about Madelyn all the way back to the ward. Madelyn was angry but did not dare to say anything. Angel stopped after a while as she was tired and hungry now. Seeing Madelyn standing aside with her head down, she stopped complaining. “I’m hungry. Go and prepare dinner for me!”
“Okay!” Madelyn left obediently.
Listening to Madelyn’s footsteps leaving, Angel glanced at the time and called Ornard. He answered it instantly, saying, “Angel, what’s up?”
“Uncle, things are hard to deal with now!” Angel was very depressed. “I tried to inform my father about my pregnancy but he was very angry. He gave me two options after scolding me.”
Ornard expected Callum to be mad, but he did now know what options he gave Angel. He then asked quickly, “What two options?”
“Abort the child or leave the Floyd family!”
Ornard raised his voice when he heard that. “Are you serious? Is Callum really that cruel? Are you sure he’s not scaring you?”
“Yeah, it’s serious. I’m not a kid anymore, I know what he meant. I don’t know why dad suddenly become so weird, as if he’s another person. It’s like he doesn’t regard me as a daughter anymore, and he’s not playing accordingly to our plan. Uncle, what should we do?”
Ornard didn’t expect things to turn out like this. He thought that Angel was the only child in the Floyd family and that no matter how mad Callum was, he would calm down and find a way out for Angel.
Now that things had turned out this way, he had to find another way. “Angel, how about your grandparents? Why don’t you ask them for help?”
“They did not even answer my call. Isn’t that obvious enough how they feel about this. I even went to Emily for help today, but my plan was ruined by Madelyn before I could even ask her. Emily hates me very much because Azalea was beaten. What should I do?”
Ornard wanted to ask Angel to go to Emily, but after hearing about the incident, he knew that it was impossible for Emily to help anymore.
“Now the only way is to ask your grandparents for help. You are the only heiress in the Floyd family. No matter how angry your grandparents are, they will help you. Try to pretend to be miserable in front of your grandma, because she loves you so much. She will definitely buy it.”
“What if she doesn’t?” Angel asked.
“She will. Try it out, and if it doesn’t work out, I will think of something again.”
While Ornard was talking, Aurora pulled Santhos’ hand and walked in. Seeing Ornard talking on the phone, the kid staggered over and called him in a childish voice, “Uncle!”
Hearing the baby voice on the other end of the phone, Angel frowned and said, “Uncle, why is there a child’s voice next to you? Aren’t you at home? Whose child is that?”
“He’s a child of a friend and he is temporarily staying at my house,” Ornard replied vaguely.
Angel felt that Ornard’s answer was a little strange, but she was not in the mood to care about it. After a few more words with Ornard, she hung up.
Ornard hung up too and reached out to pick up Santhos. Ornard interacted with him with a loving expression. A smile formed on Aurora’s face. “Don’t spoil him like this. He’s not mature enough and you need to keep a distance from him. Otherwise, he’ll be discovered.”
“We’re family. Don’t worry! It won’t spread.” Ornard consoled her.
“Just in case, you know. I’m afraid we might ruin your plan.” Aurora put up a face that looked like she was a very considerate woman.
“How thoughtful of you!” Ornard reached out and wrapped his arm around Aurora’s waist. “I’ve wronged you all these years!”
“Don’t worry. I’m happy as long as I get to be with you.”
Aurora leaned her head against Ornard’s chest and they looked just like any happy family. Then, someone knocked on the door. The butler’s voice rang out. “Mr. Laban, Miss is here!”
