Disappointment!
Uneasiness!
And… a bit of fear.
She trembled uncontrollably.
Kyle noticed it and gently supported her.
“Emily, just think of him as having fallen out of love with you.”
Emily burst out crying.
“Kyle, how long was I unconscious?”
Kyle sighed.
“Today is the third day of their marriage.”
Emily was stunned.
Weren’t they supposed to wake her up as soon as Sandra got married?
Why did it take so long?
Kyle knew she was anxious to know what had happened, so he started explaining what had occurred over the past few days.
“Sandra has medical skills. She must be the one who caused me to be unconscious!”
Emily angrily pounded the bed with both hands.
Sandra had been married to Wesley for three days!
During these three days, Sandra had taken advantage of her new identity as Mrs. Cooper and fit into the Cooper family.
She only had medical skills. It was no big deal. There were plenty of doctors in the world. Why did Wesley fall for her?
It had just been three days!
Gary could see that Emily was upset, so he sighed and tried to comfort her in a low voice.
“Wesley is awake now, but after being a vegetable for so many years, he is still weak. Perhaps he…”
Kyle joined in comforting her.
“He might be worried that you would only think about him and not live your own life, that’s why he treated you like this. He didn’t want you to wait in vain.”
Emily was a bit confused.
Was it really like that?
But…
Gary added,
“Emily, think about it. You’ve known each other since you were kids. How could he suddenly be so cruel to you?”
Implied in his words, Wesley had something unspeakable on his mind.
He had his own reasons.
Emily finally relaxed a little.
Kyle lowered his voice and comforted her.
“We all told you not to marry a vegetable. We said it was for your own good.
“Although Wesley is awake now, his condition is unstable. We hope you don’t think too much.”
After a pause, he made a decision and solemnly assured her.
“If Wesley really gets better, we will make Sandra divorce him and let you reunite with him. Alright?”
Emily finally smiled through her tears.
“Kyle, you’re so good to me.”
Sandra walked to the entrance of the hospital.
She had planned to go straight back to the Cooper Villa, but since she had a rare moment of leisure, she decided to go to the coffee shop across the street.
She had intended to just get a cup of coffee, but she found the shop overcrowded.
A fight had broken out inside.
A woman accidentally dropped a coffee cup on the ground.
The cup broke, and she needed to compensate.
However, the woman blamed the waitress.
As a result, they started fighting.
Now the woman’s hair was disheveled, her clothes torn, and she looked dirty.
The waitress’ uniform was covered in footprints, indicating that the woman had been bullying her for a long time. Moreover…
Sandra recognized this waitress.
“Rebecca?”
The waitress, who was pinned down on the ground and had no ability to fight back, was stunned. She had even forgotten to block the woman’s hand and took a slap directly.
Sandra’s face instantly darkened.
In the past, she often went down the mountain to buy things.
Rebecca Reynolds’ family sold fruits and always reserved the best ones for her but only charged a small amount.
Over time, they became good friends.
Seeing Rebecca being bullied, Sandra pulled the woman up and threw her to the ground.
“How dare you bully her! Let me teach you a lesson.” She kicked the woman.
The woman groaned, “Who do you think you are? How dare you hit me! I’ll call the police and have you arrested.”
Sandra said in a cold voice, “Sure, go ahead and call the police. But before they arrive, you need to repay what you owe my friend!”
With that, she raised her hand and landed a heavy slap on the woman’s face.
The crisp sound of a slap echoed throughout the coffee shop.
Everyone was shocked.
Rebecca was a little scared and instinctively grabbed Sandra’s arm.
“Sandra, stay out of this.”
If the woman called the police, they would definitely face criticism and punishment.
Rebecca might lose her job, but she could always find another one.
But it was different for Sandra.
Sandra lived in the mountains, and if she got detained, her master would go hungry.
What should they do?
“Sandra, you should leave before the police come. I’ll take the blame for everything.”
Rebecca’s eyes turned red with anxiety. She wished Sandra could just disappear on the spot.
Sandra wasn’t afraid at all.
It was purely self-defense, so she could come out of this unscathed.
“Don’t worry.”
The woman who got slapped covered her face and gritted her teeth.
“Alright, just you wait. I’ll make sure you pay for this!”
She immediately took out her phone. They didn’t know whether she was going to call the police or ask someone for help.
Rebecca became even more nervous.
“Sandra, you need to leave now.”
Sandra patted her hand. “Take it easy. Sit down for a second.”
Rebecca burst into tears. “Why are you so calm…”
“Humph, my husband is here!”
The woman suddenly shouted, went to the door, and pulled in a fat man.
When the man saw Sandra, his eyes lit up.
Rebecca felt uncomfortable with the way he looked at Sandra and instinctively stood in front of her.
“Honey, it’s these two,” the woman said, pointing at Sandra and Rebecca. “Look, they’ve slapped me!”
The man narrowed his eyes.
“How dare you bully my wife!”
Sandra sneered. “Where’s the evidence?”
The woman shouted, “I have injuries all over my body. Isn’t that evidence?”
Sandra looked at the woman. “How can you prove that they are not self-inflicted?”
The woman was speechless.
The man was drawn to Sandra.
He immediately took a couple of steps forward and lowered his voice.
“I can see that you don’t have much money. If my wife insists on calling the police, you won’t be able to keep your jobs.”
Rebecca bit her lip, feeling extremely upset.
