Acacia got dragged outside, catching the attention of many medical staff around her. Her dignity was totally trashed.
But hey, she had lost everything already, so what was another slap in the face?
"Ah!"
Gordon and the bodyguard let go of her in unison, sending Acacia tumbling to the ground.
"Hey, buddy, you got a tissue?" Gordon asked the bodyguard.
"Sorry, Mr. Gordon, I don't have any on me."
"No worries, we'll snag a few alcohol wipes from the nurse later. We've got to clean our hands after touching... well, something filthy."
With that, Gordon spat at Acacia, then turned around with the bodyguard and headed back inside.
At that moment, the sky erupted with a thunderous boom. Within seconds, the heavens opened up, pouring rain as if trying to wash away everything.
Acacia, repeatedly hit by one blow after another, sat there stunned and lifeless, without the strength to stand up in the rain.
Her carefully styled hair for the birthday party was a mess, and the makeup on her face was washed away by the rain.
"Thaddeus... I saved your life! How could you be so heartless, so ruthless?!"
In agony, Acacia slapped the puddle, splashing muddy water all over her face. Her beautiful manicure was also broken in the process, causing her to scream out in pain.
Then, a black Rolls-Royce pulled up at the hospital entrance, splashing Acacia all over with mud, even in her mouth.
"Hey! Can't you drive?! Are you blind, not seeing people around you?!"
Acacia yelled angrily at the luxury car, looking like a lunatic screaming in the pouring rain.
The car door opened, the driver got out first, and then he respectfully opened the back door for the passengers to come out.
Arnold got out first, took the umbrella from the driver, who had his back drenched in the rain but held most of the umbrella over the car door.
Then, Cassius stepped out of the car with indifference. The two brothers shared one umbrella. Despite the gloomy sky, their figures still looked formidable.
The moment Acacia saw the two of them, she was instantly scared, and she was left speechless. The foul words got stuck in her throat, making her face even more unsightly.
"Ms. Acacia, your father is not in this hospital, right? Are you crying at the wrong place?" Arnold looked at the drenched Acacia coldly, a smirk on his lips.
"Let's go, Arnold, Evadne is waiting for us," Cassius, only caring about his sister, lightly patted Arnold's shoulder.
Without giving Acacia another look, the two brothers walked into the hospital together.
"Evadne Ashbourne... why... why are you so loved and cherished by everyone, while I end up with nothing, even Thaddeus abandoned me because of you... why does it always have to be me?!"
In the thunder and lightning, Acacia's pale face looked even more distorted as if her features were twisted!
"Evadne! One day, I'll make sure you have nowhere to go... I definitely will!"
...
After putting Marilla to sleep, Evadne sat by the bed, lovingly stroking the girl's soft cheek, and sighed deeply.
The little girl had been scared enough that night, and she was exhausted.
After tucking Marilla in, Evadne got up and walked to the door with worry.
Just as she opened the door, she was met with Thaddeus' beautiful and melancholic eyes.
He stood there, still impeccably dressed, but there was a new level of despair and defeat in his demeanor.
Evadne frowned slightly, her gaze slowly moving down.
The man's collar had a gorgeous, eye-catching pin, which hurt her eyes.
That pin was a gift she had prepared for him on Valentine's Day in the first year she married into the Abernathy family.
She had personally taken care of everything from the design to the material selection, and it even had two high-quality rubies embedded in it.
