Chapter 1166
"Marcos, it hurts." Lainey took Marcos's hand and bit her lower lip. His face was deathly white.
If Aleigha had not known that she was acting, she would have believed that she had miscarried.
When Ronan came in with his medical kit, Aleigha didn't forget to see Lainey's expression. Sure enough, she saw disbelief.
"Ronan, check her out." Marcos said anxiously.
"Marcos, let's go to the hospital. I don't want Ronan to treat me."
Lainey said in a weak voice.
"The ambulance is on the way. Let Ronan see if you're okay."
Ronan stepped forward and said, "Mr. Gardner, let's send Mrs. Gardner to the hospital first. She seems to be bleeding."
Ronan was not an obstetrician-gynecologist, so he dared not to jump to conclusions.
"Ronan, let's go to the nearest hospital together." Charlotte suggested.
"Marcos, I want to go to a private hospital." Lainey's pleading eyes made Marcos's heart soften.
Charlotte seemed to be aware of something, and secretly went out.
The paramedics from the nearest hospital came here soon. Lainey wanted to refuse, but it was too late.
Aleigha followed them. The show was about to start. How could she miss it?
"What are you doing? Don't follow us." Emilia hurriedly stopped her.
Aleigha glanced at her coldly and got into the car without hesitation.
Charlotte ordered the driver to follow the ambulance. Aleigha looked at her mobile phone and suddenly realized that it was in mid-October. She remembered clearly that Charlotte's car accident happened in October 17th in her last life.
There were only a few hours left before October 17th.
Feeling sad, she looked at Charlotte who was holding her hands tightly. It was the only alive person in the world who cared about her. When they arrived at the hospital, there were already nurses and doctors waiting for them. Lainey was directly sent to the emergency room.
Ronan, Marcos, and Emilia followed her, so did Aleigha and Charlotte.
But they were all stopped at the door of the emergency room.
Ronan had a friend at the hospital. After making a call, he entered the emergency room.
As soon as Ronan entered, Marcos rushed up to Aleigha and slapped her hard without saying anything.
Aleigha was almost beaten unconscious.
"Marcos, that's it! Get out of Gardner Group! You're fired." Marcos's behavior completely angered Charlotte. Even though she was a lady, she couldn't put up with it. "Aunt, she could have killed my son!" Marcos's voice was louder than Charlotte's.
"Dad, beat that b*tch as you want! Grandaunt doesn't have the right to fire you." Emilia said with a gloating face.
Aleigha felt a bit dizzy. After a long while, she came to herself and looked at Marcos with resentment.
"B*tch, how dare you glare at me?" Marcos said as he raised his hand again.
"Stop it!"
Aleigha turned curiously to the source of the sound. What? What brought him here?
Freddie accompanied his family to the hospital to visit his grandfather. When he was about leave, he saw Aleigha outside the emergency room.
He wondered if she needed some help The next second, he saw a middle-aged man raising his hand to her. "Freddie, stay out of this. It's none of your business." Aleigha said to Freddie in a low voice with obvious anger.
She had to be tough when it came to Freddie. She didn't want what had happened to him in the last life happen again.
"I can't watch him beat you." Freddie was anxious. He just didn't understand why Aleigha refused his help every time. Did she hate him that much? "I'm fine. Get out of here." Aleigha turned her head and did not look at him.
Marcos was annoyed when he was interrupted. He raised his hand again, trying to slap Aleigha. Freddie rushed forward and punched Marcos, who then fall to the ground, unable to get up. "Ah, Dad." Emilia was so frightened that she cried out.
Aleigha rubbed her slightly swollen temples and sighed helplessly. "Freddie, he's my dad." She thought Marcos had it coming, but she couldn't seem too happy about it.
After all, it wasn't easy to bring down Marcos. She couldn't completely fall out with him yet.
"Just because he's your dad doesn't mean he can hit you! Violence isn't the only solution."
Aleigha knew how kind Freddie was. He was from a strong family and he had been living under its wings. He had no idea how cunning people could be. "Freddie, my-my sister hurt my mom. My dad was just too angry."
Emilia looked panicked and pitiful, trying to turn Freddie against Aleigha.
Aleigha was really anxious. Emilia had got the look in her eye when a hunter saw the prey!
Aleigha knew Emilia well. There was a reason why she did what she did.
"Angry? That's not an excuse. I don't think he's a good father." Freddie glared at Marcos. Then, he looked at Aleigha with soft eyes.
Aleigha felt uneasy under his gaze. She turned around and walked to Charlotte, ignoring him.
"You are quite sweet, young man." Charlotte seemed to be very satisfied with Freddie. She looked at him as if he were her child.
Aleigha looked at Charlotte and felt a little speechless.
Freddie smiled at Charlotte as a reply.
"What the hell? Lainey is in the emergency room, and you're flirting with a b*stard who judges me? Don't you know I'm your father?"
It took Marcos a long time to get up. Freddie's punch nearly knocked him out.
His anger was getting stronger.
"A b*stard? You mean my son's a b*stard? Mr. Gardner, what do you mean?"
Aleigha looked toward the source of the sound and her heat sank.
It was Freddie's mother, Windy Woods. She had been really nice to Aleigha in the last life, but in the end, she killed herself because she was disfigured in a fire. Aleigha always felt that it had something to do with Emilia.
Not only did Windey have a strong family, she was very capable. She had a gift for business and a unique eye, so she did well in business and in the arts.
