Chapter 499 His Overall Command
Five hours later, the plane landed in Capebatt City, and’Ashton arrived with a fleet of cars in pick them up at the airport.
Emelle beaded straight for one of the cars, intending to sit in the front seat, killing any chance of being in the same spare as Willum
However, William grabbed her and pulled her into the back seat before she could get in. She struggled briefly but couldn’t break free, so she turned her head away as soon as she
Ashton cautiously asked, “Mr. Middleton, are we heading back to Eastbay?”
William replied flatly, “Yes.”
Emelie Immediately objected, “I need to go to the hospital to see my mom.”
“She’s in the ICU, and you can’t go in there. What good would it do for you to see her? I won’t allow you to stay by her bedside in the hospital,” William said calmly
“It’s up to me to decide. Who are you to dictate that?” Emelie retorted.
“Then try me and see if I’ll let you,” William replied. “Back to Eastbay.”
Emelie raised her voice, saying. To the hospital!
Of course, the driver followed William’s instructions and set the destination as Eastbay.
Emelie gritted her teeth. Then let me out. I’ll go to the hospital myself.”
The driver glanced at the rearview mirror and saw William’s calm expression, so he continued driving without stopping, ignoring Emelie’s words.
Emelie felt both stilled and furious. She suddenly lunged forward and tried to grab the steering wheel from the driver’s seat.
“Stop the car!” she demanded.
The driver was caught off guard and swerved slightly on the road. Luckily, there were no other cars around, so it was more of a scare than a danger
William immediately pulled her back. “Are you trying to get yourself killed?”
The next second, Emelie shook off his hand. Then, she deftly pressed a shard of broken porcelain against William’s neck.
Ashton exclaimed, “Mrs. Middleton! Please don’t do this!”
William stared at the porcelain shard, surprised that things had escalated to this point between them. Slowly, he lifted his eyes to meet Emelie’s
With a firm yet trembling grip on the shard, Frelle demanded slowly, “I want to go to the hospital
William asked calmly, “Where did you get that plece of porcelain?”
He seemed completely unconcerned that the deadly weapon was pressing against his artery, his expression and tone devoid of any emotion or agitation. Has calm demeanor only seemed to exacerbate Emelie’s restlessness
Unintentionally, she pressed harder, and the sharp edge of the porcelain immediately pierced his skin, drawing blood.
Ashton watched in horror. “You’ll kill him, Mrs. Middleton!”
Emelie shouted, “How many times do you want me to repeat myself?”
William chuckled softly, then reached for her hand. Emelie was startled and tightened her grip, causing the sharp edge to sink deeper into his skin, more blood seeping out
She had intended to scare him off, but William didn’t seem afraid at all. He grabbed the porcelain shard firmly, and blood began to flow from his palm.
Emelie never expected him to react like this. “You-
“Can’t you ask for it nicely? There’s no need to use something like this to threaten me. We’re going to Centra Hospital,” William said. “You can see her for a moment and then
come home with me.”
He took the shard from her and tossed it into the storage compartment by the door. Blood was still dripping from his hand. Emelie stared at him with a pale face, noticing the ring on his ring fingt
She didn’t know when he started wearing it, but she recognized it as a ring matching hers, except it was stained red with blood.
She felt a hump forming in ber throat and turned away.
Ashton handed Will a first aid kit and a bandage “You should bandage it up first, Mr. Middleton. We’ll treat it at the hospital”
William took the bandage and wrapped a few turns around his hand before reaching for a wet wipe. Instead of cleaning his hand, he grabbed Emelle’s and wiped away the blood
Ite spoke softh, “Was it from the airplane meal tray? Aren’t you afraid of hurting yourself?!
was genuinely concerned for her well being He’s acting as it she were the one whose neck and palm were bleeding
i putting on an act and struggled to pull her hand ww.ne forcefully, but William held on until it was clean.
