The voice of determination was like a thunder.
There was a boom blasting in Mr. Ward's ears.
Mr. Ward's expression suddenly condensed, and he fell into a dullness.
Facing Jack's desolate expression, Mr. Ward's heart contracted for a moment.
After a long while.
Mr. Ward smiled bitterly, got up slowly, and leaned on the corridor wall.
It was just that his right hand fell on Brent's shoulder.
Brent's expression changed, he clearly felt the tremendous power of Mr. Ward's right hand, as if the weight of the whole person was on his right hand.
Was he... unsteady on his feet?
Brent hurriedly moved closer to Mr. Ward and held him.
Time passed slowly.
Finally, the door of the emergency room opened.
Director Lansing came out first.
"Director Lansing!"
Jack's sullen expression finally showed a hint of panic.
He hurriedly rolled the wheelchair with both hands, greeted Director Lansing, grabbed his hand, and asked with a trembling voice, "How are my wife and child?"
"They were delivered in time, fortunately they are safe and sound."
Director Lansing took off his mask off and said relievedly.
When they heard the words.
Jack, Mr. Ward and the others also breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Next second.
Slap!
Director Lansing suddenly slapped Jack's face.
The crisp slap on the face echoed in the corridor.
Mr. Ward, Brent and Daisy's face changed suddenly.
Jack also looked at Director Lansing blankly.
Director Lansing glared with anger, his raging anger seemed to turn into flames in his eyes.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Jack, this slap was for Amber!"
Slap!
Before he finished speaking, Director Lansing raised his hand again.
"This slap is on behalf of Amber's parents!"
Jack didn't move, half of his face quickly became red and swollen.
He felt deep guilt like a wave coming over him.
Mr. Ward whispered and was about to dissuade him.
Snap!
Director Lansing raised his hands again and slapped him.
"This third slap was for myself as Amber's uncle!"
Three slaps fell, and half of Jack's face clearly showed palm prints.
"Sorry, Director Lansing."
Jack lowered his head guiltily, without the slightest irritation.
Because he knew that Director Lansing felt sorry for Amber.
That's why he was so angry that he was so furious in the hospital regardless of his identity as the head of the hospital.
Director Lansing stomped angrily and sighed, "Do you know how dangerous it was for Amber and the child? Tell me, during Amber's pregnancy, were there periods of extreme emotional fluctuations? Were the nutrition not keeping up?"
Jack thought of the time on the other side of the ocean.
Gritting his teeth, he nodded tearfully.
Director Lansing's eyes widened out of anger, and raised his hand to hit again.
Then he saw Jack lowering his head, and his hand raised in the air fell heavily again.
His voice trembled, and he said distressedly.
"Jack, Jack, I thought you were the child of the haed of the Hughes family, with an outstanding status, like a dragon among people. Amber will definitely be happy if she married you, but you... you disappointed me too much!"
"With your financial resources, how did you manage for Amber to be malnourished? Why did you make Amber to what she is now? Do you know how dangerous it is?"
"Do you know that if she was brought to us just a litte later, not only would the child be hard to keep, but even Amber would have to see the God?"
A series of heartbroken questioning.
Based on the friendship between Director Lansing and Steve, although the two were not brothers, their relationship was far better than of brothers.
