Chapter 560 Both Sides Hurt


    Remnants of old love, are you? Let me destroy her face today to vent my mother’s rage!”


    As her words hung in the air, Emilia fished a pen from her purse, yanked off the cover, and charged


    toward Sharon like a deranged woman.


    Unustomed to such intense encounters, Sharon was rooted to the spot, paralyzed with fear.


    Despite his frail and ailing body, Gideon put himself between the two women. During the scuffle,


    Sharon was forcefully pushed into the nearby flower bed.


    The tough stems and branches of the nts scratched her bare skin, leaving a bloody tableau that was


    as horrifying as it was pitiful.


    “My goodness! That woman has gone mad! Someone call security!”


    An anonymous cry for help drew the attention of Christina who was passing by.


    Recognizing the figures embroiled in the scuffle, she gasped.


    “Mom!” Closing in, she saw the condition Sharon was in. her body marred by countless wounds. “Let


    me get a closer look at your wounds.”


    Pale-faced. Sharon weakly shook her head. “Emilia has lost her mind. Leave immediately. Do not go


    near her.”


    She was concerned about the safety of the pregnant Christina.

    “You’re injured. I can’t leave you here,” Christina said.


    As she spoke, Gideon, unable to withstand Emilia’s blows, was toppled over. Emilia etched a deep


    gash near his eye with the pen.


    Blood sttered and chaos ensued.


    Bystanders, realizing the severity of the situation, intervened, pinning Emilia down until hospital security


    could arrive and prevent a greater tragedy.


    “I’ll take you to have your wounds treated.” Christina couldn’t care less about the other two people.


    involved in the initial scuffle.


    Seeing as Gideon was only injured because he was trying to protect her, Sharon couldn’t bear to leave


    him. alone. “Christina, take him with us. After all, he once cared for you.”


    Casting a cold nce at Gideon, Christina replied, “Someone will help him. Don’t worry. I’m not an


    ungrateful person. He protected you, so I will cover his medical expenses.”


    Lying on the ground, Gideon was drained from the altercation.


    His vision blurred, his hearing muffled, and he could only faintly see the receding figures of Sharon and


    Christina.


    “This is my family matter, and it’s none of your business. Let me go!” Emilia panicked when she heard


    the head of the security team saying they would send her to the police station. “If you don’t believe me,


    go ask him. I’m his daughter.”


    The head of the security team chided, “How could you, as his daughter, beat him up this badly? I would


    have believed you if you said that he was your enemy. Well, whatever you have to say, say it to the


    police. You’re at fault for causing amotion in the public.”


    Then, he ordered his team to send her away.


    Christina was anxiously waiting outside while Sharon was being treated for her injuries in the


    outpatient. clinic. In her nervous disarray, she contacted Nathaniel.


    “Nat, Mom’s hurt. She’s bleeding all over, and I’m all alone in the hospital… I’m so scared.” Her voice


    wavered, a trembling note of fear threaded through her words.


    “Where are you? I’lle to you right away. Don’t worry. I’m here for you,” the man on the other end


    replied.


    Nathaniel, clutching his phone, sprang up from his seat and made a swift exit from the conference


    room, leaving the room full of high-ranking executives exchanging puzzled nces.


    After sharing her location with Nathaniel, Christina sat on a bench in the long corridor. Her body


    shivered. from a cold that seemed to seep into her very bones.


    Then, quite suddenly, she was enveloped in a warm, heavy coat. Theforting scent of Nathaniel


    wafted up from its fabric. She rose and practically threw herself into his waiting arms.


    “You’re finally here!” she cried out.
