His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire? novel Chapter 134

At the Elmsworth Hospital, in the emergency room.

Acacia had been given a blood transfusion, but her life was still hanging by a thread.

Word was, when she was brought to the hospital, she was pale as a ghost, with a deep gash on her wrist that didn't look good.

Out in the hallway, Acacia's parents, along with Frederic and Glynnis, were all present.

Acacia's mom, Una, was a wreck. Calling out her daughter's name over and over, she had already burst into tears more than once.

"Enough, you're not a spring chicken anymore. You can't carry on crying like this. Otherwise, people will laugh at you!" Acacia's dad, Mr. Stirling, said sternly.

"Laugh at me? My daughter's life is hanging in the balance and all you care about is your dignity? Do you even have a conscience?" Una grabbed her husband by the collar, sobbing uncontrollably, "My son is already dead! All I have left is my daughter! If anything happens to Acacia, I don't want to live either!"

Mr. Stirling's face darkened in frustration. His daughter had harmed herself over a man, and his wife was making a scene.

He always felt inferior to Frederic, and now he didn't know how to deal with the two women in his family. He felt humiliated in front of the Abernathy family, and in his anger, he pushed Una away.

"All you know is to make a scene! This is a hospital, not a fish market! Have you forgotten how to act like a chairman's wife?"

"You pushed me?" Una sat on the ground, too shocked to even cry.

"Please stop fighting! The important thing now is whether Acacia can get through this. That's more important than anything!" Glynnis quickly helped Una up, but was secretly sneering.

If it weren't for her mom being investigated by the prosecutor's office, and her dad insisting on her coming to help, she wouldn't give a damn about this girl's life.

But since she was here, she had to put on a good show and hide her happiness.

"Mr. Frederic, my daughter is in this state. You owe us an explanation!"

Mr. Stirling, with nowhere to vent his anger, lashed out at Frederic, "My daughter has been entangled with your son for years. She has spent her best years with him! Now their engagement is the talk of the town, all of Elmsworth knows my daughter is Thaddeus's fiancée. It was agreed that they would get married after Mr. Hamiltion's birthday, but your son is dragging his feet on divorcing that woman. We've been patient for the sake of Mr. Hamiltion's health. Now that Mr. Hamiltion's birthday has passed and your son is divorced, how can he back out now? Isn't this driving my daughter to her death?"

Frederic was upset and gloomy, unsure of what to say.

"Although our family can't compare with Ms. Evadne's great family and business, we're still from a respectable family, and we need our dignity! It's outrageous how Thaddeus is treating Acacia!"

With Glynnis's help, Una stood up, her eyes blazing with anger, "Mr. Frederic, we won't let this go! If my daughter breaks off her relationship with Thaddeus, we'll make it public! Your family will never have a moment of peace again!"

She knew Acacia had tried to kill herself to force Thaddeus to marry her.

Acacia and Thaddeus grew up together. As long as Thaddeus still had a shred of affection for Acacia, he wouldn't just stand by!

Even if their marriage was affected in the end, she would try to get as much as she could from the Abernathy family. It was a risk-free investment!

Frederic sighed heavily, his face full of worry.

With the pressing issue of Elspeth, if rumors spread about the president betraying his fiancée and driving her to death, the reputation of the Abernathy family would be damaged, and the stock market would be shaken again.

Having reached this point, he couldn't ignore Thaddeus's wishes. He made a promise, "Mr. Stirling, rest assured, once Acacia wakes up, tell her that I've made the decision for Thaddeus. Her marriage to Thaddeus will not be affected by anyone or anything. Everything remains the same!"

Then the couple's faces softened a little.

But thinking about the past, Una was still worried, feeling that Thaddeus's position in the Abernathy Group was at its peak. Thaddeus was no longer the weak illegitimate child. Even if Frederic wanted to make decisions for them, Thaddeus might not go along with it.

Just then, footsteps echoed down the corridor.

Thaddeus, pale as a sheet, walked towards them with Gordon trailing behind.

"How's Acacia?"

Before Frederic could answer, Una, with her swollen eyes, rushed over and grabbed Thaddeus by the collar.

"Thaddeus! What did my daughter do wrong? Look at what you've done! Are you trying to kill her so you can be with your ex-wife?"

"Mrs. Stirling! Please calm down!" Gordon hurriedly pulled Una away.
