Listening to Philip’s scream felt as painful as having thorns all over your body.
When Philip stopped talking, the atmosphere in the ward became heavy.
Just then, Juan, who had gone out, returned. He saw that everyone was present, including Philip.
“How dare you come here?” Juan grabbed Philip angrily by his collar. “Haven’t you done enough to Wynn? Why are you even here?”
Juan did not want to see someone as useless as Philip here.
If it were not for him wanting to show off, would Wynn be in the state she was in now?
Philip shook free of Juan’s grasp and glared at him, his eyes dark as he spoke, “Juan, what business do you have here? Wynn is my wife, you get out of here!”
When in front of his in-laws, Philip had no choice.
However, in front of Juan, he could never be vulnerable.
“Shut up!”
Charles spoke up at this point. He pointed toward the door as he bellowed at Philip, “You’re the one who needs to get out!”
Lynn watched in silence as she tapped on her phone, reporting what was happening to her friends in the group chat. The corners of her lips were curled up in a sarcastic smile.
She also took a few photos sneakily and sent them to the group.
The chat became filled with sarcastic remarks for a short while.
Being with such wimps was suffocating.
Juan tugged on the collar of his suit, his face full of ridicule and smugness as he said, “Philip Clarke, I despise you. If you’re still a man, it’s time to end this today. As long as you divorce Wynn, I’ll take care of the expenses required for Mila’s treatment, including the cost needed for subsequent treatments.”
Juan was arrogant and defiant.
Standing in front of Philip, he had the confidence to be arrogant.
Philip’s eyebrows locked together tightly as his heart went cold.
Juan Parker had really gone too far!
It was then that Wynn, who had been unconscious on the hospital bed, regained consciousness.
Everyone crowded around her concernedly.
However, Philip was excluded from the crowd.
Every time he tried to get closer, Martha would glare at him angrily.
Martha did not want to agree, but looking at the expression on Wynn’s face, she had no choice and could only relent.
Before leaving, she gave Philip a fierce stare while saying in a warning tone, “You’d better mention it to Wynn yourself. Otherwise, don’t blame me, your mother-in-law, for not keeping things civil with you.”
With that, the group left.
Only Philip and Wynn were left in the ward.
Philip sat nervously at the edge of the bed. He hesitated, not knowing how to begin.
Wynn glanced out the window into the night. It was a while before she spoke weakly, “Philip, I’m sorry. You know how my parents’ tempers are. I hope you won’t blame them.”
Philip nodded his head and chuckled before he said, “Wynn, don’t say that. They’re my parents as well. Of course, I won’t blame them.”
Glistening tears fell from the corners of Wynn’s eyes. She sniffled and wiped her tears silently, looking as if she had made a big decision.
Everything that happened tonight was unforgettable for Wynn.
Philip had changed. He became someone she could not see through.
She turned her head, her eyes red as she looked at the bewildered Philip. She said, “Philip, let’s get a divorce.”
