Chapter 47
Jenna was pisshed into the operating theater.
When the door closed. Elijah turned armind and slapped me hard. He chided, “Natalia, you went too far. If anything happens to jenna. I won’t forgive you for the rest of my life!”
His voice was shaky, and tears welled up in the corners of his eyes. It seemed like he was really ansinus.
Elijah had loved Jenna all his life, but because of that, he had also been a good–for–nothing all his life.
No matter what Jenna did, he would side with her unconditionally. This reminded me of Diana and Quinn
I was envious of frana and Dana who were well–passtretcil.
My face was burning with pain. I pursed my lips and said nothing.
Lonly wanted to vent my anger. I never thought of harming Jenna.
Thad mixed feelings after what had happened.
After a while, it said to Elijah in a lone voice, be around. Call me if anything happens”
Not wanting to be an eyesore in front of Elijah, I planned to go to the hospital’s rooftop garden to take a breather.
To my annoyance, Lamped into Diana, who was wearing a hospital gown, at the comer.
I had been a long time since we last met. I didn’t know that she was still warded.
She was extremely thin, and her face was as pole as paper. She looked at me with her spookily big eyes and smiled sinisterly. She said, “Natalia, kanna got you good”
I was stunned for a moment before realizing that she must have seen Elijah hitting me
“Get out of my way” I wasn’t in the mood to argue with her. I wanted to walk around her. Suddenly, Diana grabbed my wrist
She pulled me to her side and said resentfully. You’re an unwanted burden. You’re a curse. You shouldn’t live in this world. You should die
I sneered and retorted. Too bad for you. I’m not as thick–skinned as you. I wouldn’t kill myself just to keep a man.”
She frowned “Even if you die, no one will feel sorry for you.”
“Then what are you worried about!” I shook off her hand smiled a little more brightly, and pressed her. “You’ve harassed me time and again, What exactly are you worried about?”
I really couldn’t understand why Diana still targeted me when Quinn and I were already divorced.
“Natalia? Why are you here?” A familiar voice sounded from behind.
Diana massaged her forehead and looked weak as if she was about to faint.
Quinn quickly went forward to support her. “What’s wrong?”
“Quinn, I feel dizzy. I want to go
to go back to the wand and lie down,” said Diana meekly as she leaned into Quin’s armi.
ght. I’ll send you back to your room,” Quinn replied. He glanced at me and left with Diana.
I was amused. It was as if everyone who hated me had gathered in this hospital
I took a deep breath and quickly went to the rooftop garden.
Breathing in the fresh air and kooking at the blue sky, I felt tranquility.
However, soon, someone interrupted my moment of peace.
Skylar got a bucket of wastewater from somewhere and splashed it at me from behind. She screamed, “Natalia, you bastard! If anything happens to Jenna, I will definitely kill you with my own hand!”.
I felt cold water running down my back. I turned around and saw Skylar with red eyes. She reached out and grabbed my hair.
Her attack caught me by surprise, and I was at a disadvantage, I couldn’t teak free
The excruciating pain in my scalp made me cream. Someone around me wanted to help, but Skylar shouted at them, “My parents kindly adopted

this woman more than 20 years ago and raned her like one of their own. Not only is she ungrateful, but she also angered my mother to the point of her having a heart attack. My mother is still in the operating theater!”
The people who initially wanted to help stopped in their tracks and began to criticize me for being ungrateful
I felt like I was about to go ball from Skylar’s tugging Enduring the pain, I wanted to push her away again.
Suddenly, Skylar let go of me
I lost my balance and almost fell. A figure scuttled in my side.
The next second, I fell into Quinn’s arms.
“Qume, stay out of this,” urged Skylar, slightly besitant. She was a little scared of Quinn
Quinn glanced at her coldly and said in a gloomy voice. “You should be glad that I don’t hit women. Get inst

airn frowned and asked me coldly. Since when are you such a pushover?”
He picked me up and entered the elevator.
A few minutes later, we arrived at the underground parking lot. Quinn finally put me down.
I said. “I can’t leave the hospital just yer
I thought that he wanted to take me away and quickly explained to him that Jenna was still undergoing emergency treatment. I promised that would be responsible for everything.
Quinn gave me a meaningful stare. Finally, he took o

Quinn stopped talking. I didn’t say anything either. The atmosphere was eerily quiet for a moment
I didn’t dare to look up. I didn’t want Quin to see my current sorry state,
After a moment, he suddenly asked me, “Do you want me to do anything?
“What?” I didn’t understand what he meant by that
He explained. To deal with the Hinton family. Or you can ask me for help if you’re in any other trouble. Ell do my best to help you”
I jerked my head up and stared at him, stunned. I could see pity in has eyes

I was overwhelmed by emotions. My chest felt stuffy. I suppressed the bitterness Ich and said to him, “Mr. Madden, thank you for your kindness, but I don’t need anyone’s sympathy.”
Quinn frowned. “Nauhu—

was nowhere to be seen. Elijah was alone outside the ward, crying with his head in his arms.
A moment later, the door of the operating theater opened. Elijah rushed up to the doctor and asked. “Doctor, how’s my wife?”
The doctor took off his mask and said, “The surgery was successful. We’ll wait for the patient to wake up before checking on her
Elijah was relieved. I also heaved a sigh of relief. I went to foot the hospital bill at the cashier before leaving the hospital.
That night, I was about to sleep when I received a call from Elijah. He reported, “Natalia, Jenna is awake.”
