“Hmph! Instead of dying from illness, you’re going to infuriate me to death first. How many times have I told you to leave the children’s matters alone? Did you ever listen to my words? Are you only going to keep quiet when I divorce you?” Officer Miller’s face was red from anger, and no one had ever seen him this way before. After being in a high position for many years, most people would fear him when he got furious.
What more to say for Mrs. Miller who was a woman?
She was also scared of her husband, but fortunately, he wasn’t one to get mad often. However, she had indeed riled him up this time around.
“What are you dreaming away about? Move!”
It was shameful for Mrs. Miller to get scolded by her husband in front of so many people, but she did not dare to retort and could only suppress her dissatisfaction as she moved aside. “Get back to work, everyone. Don’t stay around here.” Officer Miller ordered.
The situation wasn’t a joyful one, and it wasn’t good to meddle in their superior’s business so everyone quickly walked away from the scene and entered the building.
“You should go back to work too.” Officer Milled said to Boyce who hadn’t left.
Boyce nodded and entered the office after everyone else.
Mrs. Miller was not happy as she did not get what she wanted and even got reprimanded by her husband. She called out, “Boyce…”
Officer Miller threw a glare in her direction right away. It made her shook in fear for a moment and immediately kept quiet.
Boyce pretended not to hear that and headed to his office.
“He betrayed our daughter. How can you still side him…”
“Shut up!” Officer Miller was shaking from fury at this point, “Come in with me.”
Mrs. Miller held the bag in her hand tightly and followed Officer Miller into his office, who banged the door shut behind them. If somebody were to look closely, they can definitely see the ceiling shook a little. Now, she did not dare to say a word anymore and just stood by the door.
“What the hell do you want? You came here to embarrass me, you know that? Do you want me to die an early death?” Officer Miller walked back and forth in his office with his hands on his back.
Mrs. Miller whispered, “I was just trying to do something for our daughter. Who does he think he is to just break up as he wishes?”
That made Officer Miller stop in his tracks to stare at his wife, “What? Can’t couples in relationships break up? Your daughter has even gotten a divorce before!”
“The divorce wasn’t her fault…”
“It doesn’t matter who was at fault, but she did go through a divorce, didn’t she? Even married couples divorce, so why can’t people break up? Why must he marry your daughter? What’s so great about her?” Mrs. Miller couldn’t retort to anything her husband said.
She pursed her lips and said in a soft voice, “Whose father are you? It seemed that Boyce is your son from the way you talk…”
Officer Miller held his chest angrily, thinking to himself, ‘Why can’t I get my words through to this woman?’
“Are you trying to enrage me to death?” Officer Miller slammed his palm to the table vigorously, “How much have I sinned in my past life to be married with such an unreasonable woman like you?!”
Mrs. Miller didn’t feel that she was at fault at all. Upon seeing how mad her husband was, she didn’t restrain herself anymore and fought back, “I know you look down on me. You wouldn’t have married me back then if it wasn’t for your father. You still don’t love me after so many years.”
Officer Miller felt a wave of heat rushing into his head. It made him dizzy.
He had long accepted his fate after so many years. It was good enough for him that she gave birth to their daughter and took care of the family. He treated her well too, so why was she bringing those things from the past up again now?
Officer Miller felt that he had lived his life in vain!
He gasped hard, “You! You, you must be trying to piss me off to death. You want me gone, don’t you?”
“Isn’t what I said correct? Would you have married me if it wasn’t because of your father?”
“We’ve been married for decades. Why does it matter now?! Ah –!” Officer Miller clutched his heart, feeling suffocated and out of breath. Mrs. Miller rushed to him and patted his back, “What’s happening…” Officer Miller shoved her away, “You’re going to piss me off to death!”
He beat his chest, thinking to himself, ‘How did he get himself involved with such a woman?’
She was going to keep going until he was dead!
“I’m just patting your back, why is that pissing you off?” Why are you so ungrateful? I only looked for Boyce because I wanted to get justice for our daughter! Since you can’t lecture him because you’re his superior, I’ll do it! Who do you think I’m doing it for? Is it not for our daughter? You’re the one who is on the wrong side…”
Before she could finish her sentence, Officer Miller had passed out from anger.
“Ah! Honey!” Mrs. Miller was shocked, “Somebody! Somebody help!”
Soon, the door to his office was pushed open. When the other officers saw that Officer Miller had fainted, they quickly carried him into the car to send him to the hospital.
Mrs. Miller followed from behind, “Should we call the ambulance instead?”
“We’ll need to wait if we called for the ambulance. It’s quicker if we just send Officer Miller to the hospital now.”
She agreed and quickly helped to put her husband in the backseat of the car. She put his head on her lap, urging, “Hurry up.”
“Yes, madam. Sit tight.”
The car soon rushed into the streets.
Not long later, the car parked at the entrance of the hospital. At this time, a taxi stopped nearby them too.
Theresa came down from the taxi with a bouquet of fresh flowers in her arms. She saw a group of medical staff rushing out of the hospital with a stretcher. They quickly opened the door to the backseat of the other car at the entrance to get an unconscious man to the emergency room as soon as possible.
She took a glance only, and didn’t pay too much attention to the scene as she didn’t know Officer Miller. She didn’t tell Armand that she was coming to the hospital as she wanted to give him a surprise. Besides, she wanted to visit Armand’s grandma too.
After all, she was Armand’s only relative now. Now that she was hospitalized, Theresa felt obliged to pay her a visit.
When she arrived at the ward, she asked for Elizabeth’s room number from the nurse station and headed over.
Armand was a filial grandson. Elizabeth was staying in the VIP room. It was silent and clean there, but the air was still filled with a faint smell of disinfectant.
When Theresa reached the door of Elizabeth’s ward, she raised her hand to knock on the door, but before she could do so, she heard Armand’s wail of pain. That made her smile a little.
Elizabeth seemed to be in pretty good spirits. She still had the energy to beat Armand up.
Theresa put her hand down, and when she was about to knock on the door again, Elizabeth’s furious voice came through, “Armand, don’t fool me anymore. You said that Theresa had forgiven you, so where is she? You lied to me, didn’t you? You don’t want to give me my great-grandson, do you?”
Her hand froze mid-air. ‘Great-grandson?’
She knew better than anyone that Elizabeth’s wish was to have a great-grandson. When she was with Armand in the past, Elizabeth was already eager.
“I did not lie to you! As for your great-grandson, that’s my private business. Please, grandma, don’t bug me about it anymore, okay? I’ve had enough listening to that. Please just let it go.”
“That’s my only wish. I just want you to get married and give me my great-grandson. I wouldn’t care about any of your other matters.” Elizabeth was particularly firm on this.
Armand felt that his head was about to explode.
She nagged about this all day long, and it was driving Armand nuts.
“I don’t like kids, and I don’t want to have children…”
