Chapter 208
At Beacon Hospital, Emmanuel was working when Frederick suddenly ran up
to him.
“Emmanuel, do you have a cousin called Ryder?” Frederick asked.
“Yes. What is it?” Emmanuel replied.
The panicked look on Frederick’s face was making Emmanuel anxious.
“I knew it! I was wondering why the name sounded familiar, and I know that
Lowe isn’t a common surname in Yeringham. He really is your cousin! He was
just rushed into the emergency operating theaters!”
“What?” Emmanuel gasped in shock.
He shot to his feet and dashed off toward the emergency operating theaters
without another word.
Did Ryder bump into trouble on his way home from the bar?
No!
The timing was off. Ryder should have been hurt after he arrived home.
Was Abellyn involved in this?
He arrived at the emergency operating theaters at the same time as
Alessandra and Roselynn.
“Mom, Roselynn, you were told about Ryder?” he asked anxiously.
He was surprised to see them. After all, he only knew about this because of
Frederick. How was his family here when he had not informed them about
this?
“Mary called to ask me to help out here, Manny. Do you know what
happened?”
Alessandra was beside herself with worry.
Ryder’s father was Emmanuel’s uncle. Thus, ever since Ryder’s parents
passed away, Alessandra had been the closest he had to a parent.
Since Mary called her, he could already hazard a guess at what had
happened. Ryder should have either gotten into a fight with Abellyn or the
state of their marriage was mentioned. That was why their parents were
needed to help sort the mess out.
“Let’s head in and check in on him first,” he said.
“Okay.”
When the trio found the exact operating theater Ryder was in, the indicator
light was still on while everyone from Abellyn’s side of the family was present.
“What happened?”
Alessandra was the first to speak up.
Ryder had been like a son to her ever since his parents‘ deaths.
Before Mary could respond, Chloe let out a loud scoff. “Serves him right! Ryder
has been abusing Abellyn. She only grabbed the knife to defend herself. It
was an accident that she stabbed him in the abdomen.”
“What?” Alessandra gasped.
The Lowe family were flabbergasted.
However, Roselynn was not a pushover, so she instantly retorted, “I know
Ryder better than you ever will. He has doted on her for years. She must have
stepped out of line. That’s the only reason for someone as nice as him to go
berserk.”
Abellyn, who was trembling the entire time, did not chime in.
