"Mom, how did you know about this? Who told you? Who's stirring up rumours again?"
Evangeline subconsciously tried to cover it up.
Emberly said angrily, "A rumor? Well, I'll go to the examination department with you and check it myself. I want to see if one of your kidneys is still intact. If so, I'll apologise to you in person. If not, I'll teach you a lesson."
After saying that, Emberly pulled Evangeline and was about to go to the examination department.
"I'm not going!"
Evangeline refused directly. She even held the wall tightly with one hand and refused to leave.
This wasn't a joke! What if this was exposed?
Also, how did her mother know about this?
Evangeline was extremely surprised.
Aziel saw that Evangeline didn't want to leave, but Emberly seemed to insist on taking her away. She couldn't help stepping forward and standing in front of Evangeline, saying, "Dr. Xiao, please let go of her or I'll take action."
"How dare you attack me?"
Emberly felt that the assistant in front of her was acting ridiculous.
She was teaching her daughter a lesson. Why did this assistant come out to stop her?
Aziel said with neither humility nor arrogance, "Zion has asked me to protect her. I have the right to do it, regardless if you are her mother or someone else. I won't allow anyone to hurt Miss Xiao."
Emberly was slightly stunned and looked at Aziel with sharp eyes. However, Aziel looked at her fearlessly without any dissatisfaction or doubt.
Seeing this scene, Calvin began to admire Zion's leadership abilities.
Seeing that the situation was getting out of hand, Evangeline quickly grabbed Aziel's arm and said, "Aziel, this is my mother. She's playing with me. Don't worry about it."
"No, Zion said that I can't let you suffer any harm or grievances before he comes back. Otherwise, he will think that I have neglected my duties."
Evangeline was a little speechless when she was faced with such a loyal assistant.
Emberly smiled and let go of Evangeline. She looked at Aziel and said, "Then go and invite Zion over."
"Zion said that I can't leave Miss Xiao's side. He will arrive soon but please wait for a moment, Doctor Xiao. I'll call him now."
After saying that, Aziel let her go and called Zion as soon as possible.
Hearing the quarrel between Evangeline and Emberly in the ward, Zion had no time to say anything to Wisdom. He immediately opened the door and went straight to Evangeline's ward.
"Aunt Sanchez, calm down."
He walked in quickly, and Evangeline rushed straight over.
"How are you? Why did my dad hit you? Let me see your injuries."
Evangeline was about to rip off Zion's clothes as she spoke.
Emberly's face darkened and she couldn't help but cough pretentiously.
"Evangeline Xiao!"
Zion blushed as well.
Evangeline had become very bold these days.
He grabbed Evangeline's hand and whispered, "I'm fine. Be a good girl, alright?"
Evangeline looked at Emberly with some dissatisfaction and muttered, "How dare you people bully my man when I'm away."
"What did you just say? Say it again, I didn't hear you clearly."
