Chapter 208


    At Beacon Hospital, Emmanuel was working when Frederick suddenly ran up


    to him.


    “Emmanuel, do you have a cousin called Ryder?” Frederick asked.


    “Yes. What is it?” Emmanuel replied.


    The panicked look on Frederick’s face was making Emmanuel anxious.

    “I knew it! I was wondering why the name sounded familiar, and I know that


    Lowe isn’t amon surname in Yeringham. He really is your cousin! He was


    just rushed into the emergency operating theaters!”


    “What?” Emmanuel gasped in shock.


    He shot to his feet and dashed off toward the emergency operating theaters


    without another word.


    Did Ryder bump into trouble on his way home from the bar?


    No!


    The timing was off. Ryder should have been hurt after he arrived home.


    Was Abellyn involved in this?


    He arrived at the emergency operating theaters at the same time as


    Alessandra and Roselynn.


    “Mom, Roselynn, you were told about Ryder?” he asked anxiously.


    He was surprised to see them. After all, he only knew about this because of


    Frederick. How was his family here when he had not informed them about


    this?


    “Mary called to ask me to help out here, Manny. Do you know what


    happened?”


    Alessandra was beside herself with worry.


    Ryder’s father was Emmanuel’s uncle. Thus, ever since Ryder’s parents


    passed away, Alessandra had been the closest he had to a parent.


    Since Mary called her, he could already hazard a guess at what had


    happened. Ryder should have either gotten into a fight with Abellyn or the


    state of their marriage was mentioned. That was why their parents were


    needed to help sort the mess out.


    “Let’s head in and check in on him first,” he said.


    “Okay.”


    When the trio found the exact operating theater Ryder was in, the indicator


    light was still on while everyone from Abellyn’s side of the family was present.


    “What happened?”


    Alessandra was the first to speak up.


    Ryder had been like a son to her ever since his parents‘ deaths.


    Before Mary could respond, Chloe let out a loud scoff. “Serves him right! Ryder


    has been abusing Abellyn. She only grabbed the knife to defend herself. It


    was an ident that she stabbed him in the abdomen.”


    “What?” Alessandra gasped.


    The Lowe family were bbergasted.


    However, Roselynn was not a pushover, so she instantly retorted, “I know


    Ryder better than you ever will. He has doted on her for years. She must have


    stepped out of line. That’s the only reason for someone as nice as him to go


    berserk.”


    Abellyn, who was trembling the entire time, did not chime in.


    Chloe spoke up instead, “You know what kind of man he is while I know what


    kind of woman Abellyn is. She is a gentle and sweet soul. She would never


    have grabbed the knife if she weren’t being abused!”


    Roselynn scoffed derisively. “When a woman stabs her husband, it’s called


    murder. How can a gentle and sweet soul do that? Your family sure loves


    kicking up a fuss when you’re the one in the wrong. I am 100% sure that


    Abellyn was in the wrong before this!”


    “Rubbish! Do you think you can just push us around?”


    Chloe immediately shouted back with more insults.


    When Mary saw that Roselynn was close to blowing a gasket and would not


    be backing down, she hurriedly called out, “Everyone, quiet!”


    It was only then that Chloe stopped hurling abuses at them.


    As Mary was still an elder, Roselynn fell silent after letting out a cold snort.


    “Alessandra, since you are my inw, let’s talk this out like adults,” Mary


    intoned solemnly.
