Watching Jamir act like this, Summer could not help but chide herself in her mind. Why had she had such terrible taste before? How could she have fallen in love with a man like this in the first place? Nevertheless, she opened her mouth to answer his question so as not to cause Gary any trouble.
But Gary spoke first, stepping forward. "Who are you? Why are you talking so rudely to Summer? Don't you have any manners?"
"I'm her husband," Jamir answered confidently, as if that title gave him the right to be rude to her.
"Ex-husband," Summer correct in a cold tone.
"Excuse me, please get out of my way."
Realization dawned in Gary's eyes. Since the man in front of them was Summer's awful ex-husband, then it must mean that the woman by his side was Perry, the one who had once worked in the PR department of HL Group.
"We have only been divorced for a few days, but you're already with another man! How can you be so shameless?" Jamir asked roughly.
Nasty people like him had a knack for twisting logic to suit their needs, but Summer wasn't having any of it. Raising an eyebrow at him, she snapped, "What the hell? Do you have short term memory loss? You're the one who had an affair while we were married!"
"Summer..."
Annoyed that Jamir continued to pester her, Gary loosened his grip on her, grabbed Jamir's collar, and threw a punch at him without hesitation.
"Ouch!" Jamir, who was caught off guard, fell to the floor. But Gary didn't stop there. He crouched down, leaned over Jamir, and continued to beat him up.
Startled by the scene in front of her, Perry let out a scream.
The whole corridor was in a mess. Passers-by stopped in their tracks, shocked by what was happening. Doctors and nurses also rushed out of their offices to see what the fuss was about. When they saw that there was a fight going on, they immediately called the security department of the hospital.
Bearing the pain in her belly, Summer tugged on Gary's sleeve. "Gary, stop. We're at the hospital. Don't make trouble here."
Hearing her words, Gary finally withdrew his fist and got up, panting for breath.
Unexpectedly, the first thing Jamir did after he got up from the floor was to punch Gary. He yelled, "Damn it! It was okay when I was beaten by women, but who the hell are you? How dare you hit me?"
Gary took a split-second to recover, and the moment he did, he fought back, beating up Jamir until he couldn't move anymore. Finally, he got up and looked at the wounded man on the floor with ferocious eyes. "If you dare to harass Summer again, I'll beat you up worse than this!"
Summer, who was in too much pain to say anything, leaned against the wall. Seeing that, Gary ignored Jamir's feeble abuse and quickly took Summer to the doctor's office.
Ever since she had suffered a miscarriage, she had been having many different health problems. This time, she was in so much pain that she broke out into a cold sweat.
After a thorough examination, it was found that she was suffering from a uterine perforation.
But it was not serious, and there was no internal bleeding, so conservative treatment was enough to solve the problem.
Once the doctor left, Summer handed her phone to Gary and asked him to send a message to Maria. "Tell her that I'm fine. I'll be okay as long as I take medicine, so she doesn't have to worry about me."
Gary nodded and typed out the message.
When Maria received it and found out that Summer was fine, she let out a sigh of relief.
On the other hand, Rosa was suffering from abdominal pain and diarrhea, since she had drunk too much vinegar. The pain and discomfort tortured her for three whole days, making it hard for her to eat or sleep. When those symptoms finally came to an end, she felt like she had crossed a mountain.
But to her shock, something terrible happened a few days later. At first, she just felt a light discomfort in her throat. But as time went by, she realized that something was seriously wrong. Not only did it hurt to eat, but it also hurt when she swallowed.
She had no choice but to take some time off work to go to the hospital. It was only after the check-up that she discovered that the fish bone that had gotten lodged in her throat had not dissolved at all. Instead, it was stuck in her gullet. Over the past few days, it had shifted lower and lower down her gullet. Now, it was dangerously close to piercing her aorta. Rosa was told that she had to have an operation immediately.
Obviously, she was scared to death. Her face was pale as a ghost as she asked, "Just because of a fish bone?"
