Chapter 217 Rattled
Emelle chuckled suddenly, “I don’t like hard-boiled eggs. How about scrambled ones instead?!
William snorted in amusement. Samuel was momentarily taken aback. Then, he called out, “Emelie.”
“Eve already said I'm fine several times, Mr. Swanson. Why won't you believe me? It's like you're hoping
something's wrong.” Emelie paused to consider.
“Should | write you a guarantee just to promise you I'm okay?” She refused to say it, leaving Samuel at a loss.
Emelle insisted he go check on Melanie. Samuel hesitated for a few minutes, then sighed as he rose to leave.
“I'll bring you dinner tonight. Scrambled eggs, right? Got it”
“Thanks.”
The moment Samoel stepped out of the room, his face hardened instantly. It was a stark contrast to his typically
gentle demeanor.
William lounged against the headboard. There was a faint smile curving his lips. He seemed in good spirits as he
regarded Emelie
“Why not ask your beloved Mr. Swanson for help? Think he can thandle it? Or are you afraid he'll find out about
us?”
“Neither,” Emelie replied. She settled back onto the bed, her voice steady. “I'm afraid you'll complicate things for
him. I'd rather endure your difficulties than see him suffer, even
William’s smile faded gradually. The light on his side, which was switched off moments ago, plunged the room
into deeper shadows.

His demeanor beccold, and after a tense silence, he pressed, “Say that again.”
Emelie ignored him, serenely closed her eyes, and pretended to drift back to sleep. She knew what she was
doing
Whether driven by possessiveness or something else entirely, William clearly cared deeply about her connection
with Samuel. Otherwise, he wouldn't keep bringing up Samuel every chance he got
Since he cared, then let him care. As long as she could rattle him, Emelie felt a small release in the tigh mess of
her chest.
Her tactic worked pretty well William's wound started hurting more intensely for no apparent reason.
The V drip had run dry, prompting the machine to alert the nurse's station. A nurse swiftly entered to replace it
The nurse noticed the way his lips pressed together and sensed trouble. After securing the new IV bag, she
pulled the blanket back
“Oh no! You're bleeding! Did your wound reopen? Why didn’t you call for help?”
The nurse dashed off to find a doctor. When she mentioned that it was Wilhem, the doctor rushed over to inspect
the wound, which was visibly soaking through the bandage.
“Mr. Middleton! You need to lie down. We need to re-bandage this wound”
Wam complied as he was eased back onto the bed. To protect patient privacy, the nurse swatly drew the curtain
between the beds.
While one bed was in chaos, Emeke was unaffected in the other bed. She reached out to turn off the light.
Suddenly, William’s hand shot out from behind the curtain and grabbed Emelle’s wrist. Caught off guard, Emelle
looked up in surprise
Disregarding urgent pleas from doctors and nurses cautioning him against straining his muscles or risking a
wound reopening and needing further surgery, Williams focused solely on Emelie. His demeanor was cold and
obsessive.
“If you dare to love Samuel, I'll ensure he leaves Capebatt City just like | made Wesley leave back then!”
Emelie’s heart skipped a beat. “You..!”
William was pushed back by the doctor, and the curtain was shut abruptly.
Emelte stared intently at the curtain.
