Kendal flared up.
"Go to hell, b*tch!" She cursed and stormed toward Aleigha.
Right on cue, Adrian came out of the operating room with the help of two nurses.
He gave his men a gesture and they all surrounded Kendal immediately.
"Get out of my way! I must kill her today!"
Kendal banished her purse in the air as if it was a knife.
But those men stood in front of her like insurmountable mountains.
"I said get out of my way!" Kendal brought her purse down on one man's face and the edge scratched his face.
"Enough!"
Adrian growled. He was still very weak but his voice was intimidating.
Kendal stiffened on the spot.
"Adrian, it's all her fault. She's the reason you're badly injured." "Knock it off. You'd better be nice to her."
Tears welled up in Kendal's eyes.
She bit her lip and stared at Adrian aggrievedly.
He was no longer the man she used to know.
Hinting at the two nurses to release him, Adrain hobbled to Aleigha and hugged her.
"I don't like to be touched, but you are an exception."
Aleigha grunted dismissively but wrapped her arms around Adrian's waist to support him.
She had never thought that she would come back to Adrian's family again.
Adrian closed the door behind them and quickly pushed Aleigha into the bathroom.
He leaned against the doorframe with a playful smile.
Something suddenly struck Aleigha.
"You're a liar!" She shouted in disbelief.
Adrian smiled faintly. "I prefer to be called a tactician. You wouldn't come home with me unless you're convinced that I'm badly injured."
"I don't want to talk to you. I'm leaving."
Aleigha was angry. She had been worried sick about him.
"No. You must stay to finish the show with me so I can help you find out who's behind it."
Adrian tilted her chin up and looked into her eyes.
Aleigha didn't avert her eyes and looked back furiously.
"I don't need your help. I know who did it. You're fine and I should go now."
Aleigha sounded steely.
Adrian sighed. The situation looked very familiar.
He had thought she was playing hard to get but now registered that she really wanted nothing to do with him.
"But you took my money," he said serenely.
"You gave it to me." Aleigha pushed Adrian on his chest, trying to get out.
"What's the rush?" Adrian seized her hands.
