Chapter 34 Has Your Father Died?
Arriving at the hospital entrance, Allen Parker gallantly stepped out of the car to help Emily open the door.
Emily thanked him again.
"You don't have to be so polite. It only makes things feel more unfamiliar," he replied.
After bidding him farewell and watching the red taillights disappear from view, Emily finally relaxed her tense nerves.
While in the car just now, she carefully examined his jawline through the rearview mirror.
They even had similar jawlines.
But she dared not jump to conclusions.
There was no time to cook today, so Emily bought some fruits downstairs and went upstairs to see her father.
Just as she reached the door of the ward, she heard Sophia's voice from inside.
"...Me and Nathan? Yes, you guessed it right. I'm with Nathan now, and I'm also carrying his child."
"...I'm the villain? If my parents hadn't been supporting you, you would have starved to death long ago! I just wanted her husband, that's all!"
Emily couldn't bear to listen anymore. She forcefully pushed open the door to the ward.
She saw Sophia standing arrogantly, while her father had somehow fallen off the bed at some point, his clothes soaked through with water.
She shot Sophia a fierce glare, then quickly squatted down to help her father back onto the bed.
Emily noticed that her father's clothes were thoroughly soaked, and the water was still warm.
Emily's blood boiled with anger. "Sophia, what have you done to my dad? Did you scald him with hot water? He's your family!"
Sophia played with her nails as if nothing had happened. "What can I do to him? He tried to hit me and ended up knocking over the hot water cup, getting himself all wet. What's it to me?"
Emily clenched her fists, staring at her fiercely. "Sophia, just you wait. I'll settle the score with you later!"
Emily immediately called for a doctor.
As she expected, her father had indeed been scalded, and the burns covered almost his entire body, which was very serious.
After the doctor examined William, he was furious. "What's wrong with you people? You let the patient suffer from burns for so long without calling a doctor? Are you all heartless? This is an attempt to murder him!"
Emily's mind was in chaos, and she barely registered what the doctor was saying.
As long as she could save her father, she didn't care how much scolding she received.
"Who's responsible for taking care of the patient?"
Sophia stood aside, pointing at Emily from afar. "It's her."
"You scoundrel!" William was so angry that his eyes widened, his chest covered in large patches of red.
Sophia chuckled, "I'm just learning from your daughter. She's even more shameless. She can't have children but still wants to take my husband."
