Chapter 1793 "Mel, Lilin, letsee! Are you two okay?" Adam had rushed over the second his subordinate told him what happened. He was so afraid for his wife and daughter's lives that his heart trembled throughout the entire car journey to the hospital as though he was about to have a heart attack.
He pulled Melinda and Lilin toward him and studied them carefully to make sure they were okay.
Melinda's heart softened upon seeing how concerned Adam was toward them. She allowed him to do as he pleased as she said, "We're okay. Only Emily is hurt." Emily smiled weakly at Melinda. "See, what did | tell you? It's a good thing you and Lilin are unhurt, otherwise, your husband would've hadanswer for the crime." Melinda blushed at the statement.

After he finished checking Melinda and Lilin, Adam looked at Emily disapprovingly. "You again! You want to do something risky? Fine! But why did you have to drag my wife and daughter with you?" "I'm sorry. | didn't expect that the Carews would be so unreasonable. This won't happen again," said Emily sincerely.
"Huh! You better not!” Adam's gruff demeanor toward the injured Emily displeased Melinda. She pushed him away and said, "That's enough. Emily's hurt and needs all the rest she can get. Don't talk to her so loudly!" Adam looked at Melinda. "I told you to stay away from her, yet you didn't listen! Would she have run away from her husband if she were a virtuous woman? She's a bad influence on you! She must've instigated you to run away fromtoo!" He did not care how his words would hurt Emily's UES all. Then again, why should he care about her? Melinda knew what Emily had gone through over the last few years, and she empathized with her. Thus, she could not bear to let Adam insult Emily so easily.
"That's enough! We don't need you here. Both Lilin and | are fine, so you can leave now!" Adam frowned. "It's high tyou stop this 'running away from home' sh*t! You're coming hwithnow!" As he spoke, he grabbed Melinda's wrist to take her out of the ward.
Melinda shook off his hand. "Stop being so heartless! Emily is still here! She needsto take care of her." "I'm heartless? You two would've been dead if | didn't order my bodyguards to protect you!” Melinda got really angry. "Brian Addison! You... Emily needs to rest. Let's talk outside." She then grabbed Adam's arm and pulled him out of the ward.

Emily was not angry. She smiled and shook her head. "Don't worry. I'm not angry. I've always been against your mom staying together with your dad, so I'm actually quite relieved to see how worried he is about your mom.
Sophia might be his favorite, but he really cares about you and your mom too." Lilin moved closer to Emily and asked curiously, "Didn't your ex-husband care about you too?" Emily's smile turned bitter at the question. "Well..." She did not really want to talk about her useless ex-husband.
Seeing how reluctant Emily looked, Lilin frantically waved her hands Sorry, Miss Emily! I shouldn't be asking question like that at a time like this." She was just curious why a man would not cherish a beautiful, gentle, and talented woman like Emily.
