Chapter 336


    “You finally see my true nature of being someone cold–blooded and ruthless


    now, huh? Why did you pursue me, then? Are you thinking of getting back


    together with a heartless woman like me? Do you honestly believe that’s still


    a possibility?” Mackenzie sneered in response. Hearing that, Emmanuel


    clenched his fists tightly as he looked at her cold and heartless gaze.


    .


    He hade here hoping to have a conversation with Mackenzie after


    hearing Terence and his mother’s advice. However, their exchange made it


    clear that he couldn’t expect any understanding from her. “In that case,


    goodbye, Ms. Quillen!” Emmanuel made up his mind to turn around and


    leave.


    At that moment, a pang of pain shot through his chest. Perhaps this would


    truly be thest time he and Mackenzie would ever speak to each other. As


    Emmanuel walked away, Mackenzie also felt a sudden stab of pain in her


    heart. She had deceived herself all along, convincing herself that seeking


    Juan’s help to save Ryder was solely for Tommy’s sake. Deep down, she now


    realized it was also for Emmanuel. Is this painful feeling what they call love?


    Mackenzie wanted to say something to stop Emmanuel from leaving since


    she hadn’t actually intended to divorce him or deny him any chance at all.


    She had been waiting for him to apologize and sever ties with udette,


    then she would consider forgiving him. She never expected things to unfold in


    this manner. However, before she could utter a word, she saw udette


    rushing toward Emmanuel.


    When udette noticed the anguish on Emmanuel’s face, she asked


    concernedly, “Dr. Lowe, are you okay? You don’t look well.”


    “I’m fine, thank you for your concern, Ms. Lenoir.” Emmanuel had thoughts of


    distancing himself from udette, but that thought made him feel uneasy.


    He wondered why Mackenzie had to interpret their friendship differently even


    though they were just friends. Since they were already going through a


    divorce, why should he keep his distance from udette? Emmanuel


    reassured himself that he had a clear conscience and that there was no

    need for such behavior. As he and udette walked back to the hospital side


    by side, Mackenzie tightly pursed her lips, her once bright eyes now dull and


    trembling.


    “udette, why must you take away the things that rightfully belong to me?


    Is it truly worth it?” Mackenzie’s eyes were filled with anger.


    Soon, Emmanuel returned to the hospital with udette, and Tommy rushed


    over to his side as he was curious about what had happened. “Uncle Manny,


    what happened between you and Mackenzie?”


    “It’s nothing, Tommy. Be a good boy and stay with your father. I’ll take you


    home when I finish work!” With that, Emmanuel led Tommy away. It was then


    that udette realized there was no room for her to continue following them


    and that Emmanuel was deliberately distancing himself from her. She


    couldn’t help but feel a tinge of disappointment as she walked out of the


    hospital.


    A Rolls–Royce was parked at the hospital entrance, and upon seeing her


    daughter’s distraught appearance, Laura giggled. “What’s wrong? Did Dr.


    Brooks fail to cure Dr. Lowe’s cousin? Is that why he isn’t appreciative of you?”


    Hearing that, udette nodded and shook her head before finally sighing.


    Once inside the car, she recounted everything that had happened at the


    hospital to her mother.


    Laura, being an emotionally sensitive person, quickly reassured her by


    saying, “Silly girl, why are you in such a hurry? That man just divorced


    Mackenzie, and he’s not a scoundrel, so he won’t ept you so quickly! Since


    you’vee this far, don’t overthink things and put unnecessary pressure on


    yourself. Didn’t we agree to be shameless and determined? If you continue to


    persist, that man will eventually fall for you!”


    Hearing that, udette pressed her lips together and nodded as her hesitant


    gaze gradually turned resolute. Yes, they hade this far, so she shouldn’t


    be overthinking and stressing herself out.


    After work, Emmanuel got ready to pick Tommy up and bring him back home.


    However, he was surprised at how soon Ryder’s recovery was, for it was even


    faster than he had imagined. Ryder was eager to leave the hospital and


    insisted that Emmanuel bring him home. Unable to resist, Emmanuel


    eventually agreed, but he couldn’t help but worry that conflicts might arise


    between the father and son and Abellyn upon reaching home!
