Chapter 116 A Sudden Misfortune
“Dad?” I cried out in panic, with tears streaming down my face. “Dad!”
My desperate cry made everyone present feel suffocated, including Matthew, who quickly
called an
ambulance.
The apartment echoed with mine, my mom’s, and Ava’s worried cries. Ivanna arrived
simultaneously with the ambulance. She knew what had happened at a glance.
I entrusted my mom and daughter to her while I followed the ambulance to the hospital.
Inside, the
I medical staff worked to provide emergency treatment for my dad. Though trembling. I
found my phone
and called Atlas.
I pleaded, “Please, find a doctor for my dad.”
“Which hospital are you in?” Atlas asked directly.
“Foswood General Hospital!”
“Got it!” He hung up, and I hoped my dad would pull through.
After arriving at the hospital, the nurses rushed my dad to the emergency room. I leaned
against the wall and slowly slid down to the floor. My heart ached as I clutched my chest.
My parents had raised me, yet I

didn’t repay their kindness.
I prayed my dad would be okay.
Atlas arrived with several doctors in less than ten minutes. The doctors headed straight for
the emergency room while Atlas approached me and helped me to my feet. He asked with
concern, “What
happened? Tell me everything.”
However, I was too exhausted to speak as I leaned against the wall.
At that moment, my mom arrived with Ava while Ivanna supported her. Matthew followed
behind them,
looking conflicted.
Matthew grimaced when he reached the emergency room entrance and saw Atlas. “You
sure are quick to
respond, Atlas. How dare you say there’s nothing between you two? Chloe, are you still
going to make
excuses? You caused all this yourself!”
Matthew tried to shift the blame. Meanwhile, my mom glanced at Atlas in puzzlement.
“Mr. Atlas, thank you for coming!” Ivanna stepped forward, her voice aimed to defuse the
situation.
Atlas nodded, and I told my mom, “Mr. Atlas brought us the best doctors to help.”
My mom nodded in gratitude. “Thank you, Mr. Atlas!”
Matthew stood aside and smirked, “Why thank him, Laura? He might be your next son–in–
law, don’t you think? Your daughter isn’t innocent either!”
Atlas remained silent, focusing on my mom and Ava. Then he calmly walked away and told
Matthew,”
Step outside for a moment.”
Matthew followed Atlas out with a disdainful expression.
I was shocked and exchanged a glance with Ivanna. Immediately after, I chased after
them. As expected, they walked down the corridor where no one could see them from the
emergency room.
Atlas stopped and turned to face Matthew.
Although Matthew was not as tall as Atlas, he looked bigger than the latter. Matthew
sneered, saying, Atlas, your service is top–notch, always ready to assist at a moment’s
notice!”
Matthew smugly continued with his snide remarks, “What’s happening? You’re just a mere
assistant, yet you’re acting so arrogantly. I can’t believe you’re bold enough to pursue a
married woman-” 1
Before Matthew could finish, Atlas punched him. Matthew crashed to the ground, cursing,
“How dare you! punch me?! Do you think I don’t know what kind of person you are? You’re
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmonly worthy of getting the
I
woman I don’t want anymore.”
Atlas lifted him and punched him again, sending Matthew flying.
‘Matthew, shut your mouth!” I shouted as I rushed over to hold Atlas back.
“Chloe, just you wait! You’re teaming up with your lover to beat me up, huh?!” Matthew
thundered as his
lips bled.
Soon after, a crowd gathered around us.
Standing above Matthew indifferently, Atlas said, “I’ve wanted to punch you for a while
now. Do anything
you wish, but if anything happens to Chloe’s dad, I won’t just give you a couple of
punches. Take my
advice and get lost.”
Matthew finally got up while muttering threats. Although he looked at me resentfully, I had
never seen
him look so pathetic. Despite his imposing stature, Matthew dared not retaliate. He looked
at Atlas and wiped the blood from his lips.
Alles remained composed as Matthew muttered, “Just you walt, Chloe.”
