Chapter 210
The argument soon drew the attention of the hospital staff.
“Everyone, please do not shout in the hospital,” one of them warned sternly.
“Dr. Lowe, you work here. Please control yourself!”
Chloe was able to drag her entire family away from the hospital with the
staff’s intervention.
Before she departed, she loudly eximed, “The Lowe family is just a horrible
family. Let’s go! They’ll regret this!”
“Hmph! We’ll see who ends up crying in the end.”
Roselynn could not resist onest retort
Soon after the Sheppards‘ departure, Ryder was pushed out of the operating
theater and into a normal ward.
He was not in any danger of losing his life.
However, his kidney was injured. That might affect his future marriage
prospects.
“Abellyn is an absolute witch! How could she do this? Ryder, you have to
divorce her! She needs to stay as far away from us as possible!”
Roselynn kept ranting as she peeled an apple for Ryder.
As for Ryder, he was silently lying in bed. Even though he was wide awake, his
eyelids were partially shut so it was as if he had fallen asleep.
“Oh, a harmonious family is what brings good luck! How did everything end
up like this?” Alessandra cried out.
She was distressed to see Ryder in this state. She also did not try to convince
him topromise, especially not with how things turned out. Instead, she
turned her attention to motivating him, coaxing gently, “Ryder, I know plenty
of matchmakers. If you do get divorced, I’ll find you a better woman!”
Ryder sighed. “If we get a divorce, she’ll steal away half of everything. What
about Tommy and the apartment?”

He inherited that home from histe father. There was no way he could
ept losing half of it.
He could also not allow her to have custody over Tommy.
“Don’t worry, Ryder. I’ll help you prove that Abellyn started everything by
cheating on you. I’ll even ask Mackenzie to hire the best divorcewyer for
you. We’ll make sure Tommy stays with you and minimize your loss to the
lowest it can go.”
Emmanuel was determined to help out.
“That’s right! He has an amazing wife, so don’t you think about backing down.
There’s no need to be afraid of those two sisters!”
Roselynn was suddenly filled with confidence.
Ryder nodded. “Manny, I… I’ll leave it to you.”
It was evident that he had finally had enough of Abellyn. The divorce was
going to happen.
After all, no one wanted to live with a woman who would stay out all night
ying poker, not working or taking care of the house, let alone someone
who would cheat on her husband and stab him once they were caught.
After they walked out of the room, Roselynn worriedly inquired, “Do you really
have a way to get your hands on evidence that Abellyn cheated on him?”
“I’ll do my best,” Emmanuel responded as he was confident in his skills.
His family knew he had been working as a soldier in the Northern Region, but
they did not know he was a Wolf Warrior. He had been on many ssified
missions.
Since the bar refused to hand over the surveince footage, he would sneak
into the control room to get a copy of the footage.
Therefore, with that goal in mind, he asked Beatrix for a day off.
He even told Mackenzie he would not be driving her hometer that evening.
Mackenzie was a busy woman, so she did not respond to his message.
Nheless, the door swung wide open just as he was ready to leave the
house.
Mackenzie was shocked to find him dressed entirely in ck. After a moment,
she burst out chuckling. “What are you doing?”
“I…” he awkwardly stammered. “I’m going to the bar to steal some
surveince footage…”
He did not want to keep his actions a secret from her.
Unfortunately, that only made herugh harder.
In fact, he had never seen herughing so uproariously.
He had to admit that she looked so mesmerizing when she was happy, which
made her resemble a painting of a field of flowers in bloom.
“You little fool. Are you asking to be arrested?” she asked.
She had returned early because she knew what he would likely be up to.
As expected, Emmanuel was a fool who liked to use idiotic measures.
“I don’t care about that! Ryder has been horribly hurt by Abellyn. If I don’t help
him, who knows what other tricks she and her sister would have up their
sleeves.”
“Don’t worry. I’ll definitely seed. I won’t be arrested,” he promised.
Then, he moved to saunter confidently out the door.
“Stop!” Mackenzie called out to him. Why was he so dumb? He was as slow as
msses.
“The surveince footage is all you want, right? I’ll get it for you,” she said.
“Huh? Do you have a way to get it?”
“Here!”
She threw him a phone, causing him to fumble the device before finally
catching it with a firm grip. He soon found the surveince footage from the
bar that evening.
Of course, Lexi got this footage under her orders.
The bar refused to hand over their surveince footage to Emmanuel and
Ryder, but the moment Lexi appeared and told them whom she was working
for, they handed it over withoutint or asking for a bribe.
Lexi and Beatrix had teased Mackenzie endlessly over that, saying that she
was acting more and more like a wife.
Before, she would never ask Lexi to handle something so trivial. It would be
overkill.
While it was nothing to her, it was an exceedingly challenging task for
Emmanuel.
“You’re the best, Mackenzie!”
After he watched the video, he excitedly wrapped his arms around her. He
had gotten into the habit of hugging his fellow soldiers after a victorious
battle.
Regardless, he soon realized that he was hugging a gorgeous woman
instead of a fellow soldier as her body was so soft and nice to hug. He
instantly leaped away as though he had been shocked by electricity.
“I’m sorry! I’m sorry!” he cried out.
His face flushed crimson as he stammered out an exnation, he hurriedly
said, “I–I didn’t mean to do that, Ms. Quillen. I was just so happy.”
Mackenzie pursed her lips and red at him. Then, she huffed before
stomping back to her room without saying a word.
Ah…

Emmanuel scratched his head in confusion. Was she angry?
He was worried that she would hit him or shout at him. Still, this method of
showing her anger seemed a little too gentle…
Bang!
Mackenzie mmed the door hard behind her before leaning against it while
fuming with anger.
“That was dangerous! I can’t keep helping him. Who knows if he’ll seize the
chance to do something worse?” she muttered to herself.
“This won’t do! I have to keep my guard up!”
“I need to stay vignt!”
The next morning, Emmanuel returned to work. As he was utterly swamped
with work, he did not have time to visit Ryder even though they were in the
same location.
By the time he made his way to Ryder’s room in the afternoon, he found out
that Ryder had been discharged from the hospital.
He sighed, not at all surprised. He knew Ryder well. One night at the hospital

would cost Ryder hundreds. Ryder was someone who would rather suffer
silently than deal with the financial burden.
Nevertheless, Ryder’s body was not made of steel despite how strong he
was. If he headed home right away, he might be in trouble.
That evening, Abellyn snuck into the apartment to steal some of the more
valuable belongings so that she could begin getting her hands on Ryder’s
assets before the divorce. She did not expect to find Ryder at home.
His bloodshot eyes red at her.
“Y–You’re out of the hospital already?” she bbered.
Her guilt caused her to be overwhelmed by fright, nearly causing her to
copse on the ground.
