When Angela and Zack arrived at the hospital, Bill had still not been brought out of the emergency room.
However, what they didn't anticipate was that someone had arrived ahead of them and was already waiting nervously in the corridor. It was Andrew, Francis, and several of their subordinates.
Upon spotting Angela, Andrew immediately exclaimed, "Angela, why did you arrive so late? Your dad's condition is uncertain, yet you're focused on work instead of caring about him."
"Mr. Andrew, Ms. Graham has arrived. She won't abandon Mr. Bill—we all know how devoted she is," Francis added.
"That's right. Ms. Graham stopped what she was doing and came here as soon as she found out. She seems very dedicated to Mr. Bill. She is truly a good daughter."
"With a caring daughter like Ms. Graham, Mr. Bill will definitely get better soon."
The group of people labeled Angela as a "good daughter" forcefully.
"You guys are exaggerating," Zack sneered.
Out of nowhere, a group of men wielding cameras rushed in from the corridor. Without uttering a single word, they began snapping photos of Angela.
They commented, "Mr. Graham has suddenly fallen ill, and Ms. Graham was the first to arrive. She is truly a devoted daughter."
They quickly left after taking the photos, like they were on a mission.
Angela was visibly upset as she realized their intentions. She promptly contacted Joanne to relay some instructions before addressing Andrew and the others. "I didn't expect you to arrive so quickly. It seems you're all so loyal to my dad as well."
