Chapter 514 Very Regrettable
The commotion from that punch startled everyone present!
Fiona ran over and pushed Bernard away. She scolded fiercely, "Why did you hit Alex? Even if there's something between Alex and Katherine, it's none of your business. What does the Melville family's matter have to do with the Mitchell family?"
Alex just wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, ignored Bernard, and quickly walked towards the emergency room, ready to push the door open...
Leander caught up and advised, "Mr. Melville, Mrs. Melville is currently being resuscitated. If you go in now, it might distract the doctors. It's better to let them focus on saving Mrs. Melville first."
Alex had lost his sanity after hearing about Katherine's car accident. His eyes were already bloodshot, but Leander's words did have some effect, calming him down a bit.
Alex's sharp eyes glanced at Jackie and Sandra, who were being comforted by their attendants while sitting on chairs outside the emergency room. After some consideration, he didn't go over to question the elderly couple, who were already in poor health. Instead, he turned around and sternly called out, "Fiona! Come here!"
Fiona quickly responded, "Alex, I'm here!"
With a stern expression, Alex questioned, "I dropped her off at the door today and watched her walk into the house. She was supposed to rest after getting home. Why did she come out again and get hit by a car?"
Fiona was also very worried about Katherine's situation and shocked by the turn of events, explained in detail, "Alex, when Katherine came home today, she came in with Sophie. Katherine said she had something to discuss with Sophie, and they went to your room to chat. After a while, Sophie was about to leave, and Katherine went out to see her off. That's when she got hit by a car..."
Alex's cold gaze swept towards Sophie, who was standing nearby. Only then did he notice her presence, and his eyes filled with murderous intent, locking onto her like a target. "You again?" he remarked impatiently.
The word "again" contained Alex's judgment of this repeat offender!
Three days ago, Katherine was also nearly hit by a car, but Bernard had protected her. After the investigation, it was found that Sophie instructed the driver.
Sophie probably knew that her actions had been exposed and had been hiding from him.
So, for the past two days, Alex had been sending people everywhere to catch Sophie!He didn't expect Sophie to dare come to their house and harm Katherine again?!
Sophie's body trembled under Alex's gaze, but she forced herself to stay calm and explained, "Alex, why are you looking at me like that? I just... I just came to chat with Katherine..."
Alex narrowed his sharp eyes coldly and pointed out, "You never liked her. Why would you suddenly want to chat with her? Three days ago, Katherine almost got hit by a car. Wasn't that your doing?"
Sophie's eyes trembled violently, but she remembered the countermeasures Scarlett had just taught her over the phone and knew she absolutely couldn't panic at this moment!
Following Scarlett's instructions, she explained, "Alex, I admit that the incident three days ago was because I misunderstood Katherine's relationship with Bernard. In a moment of confusion, I hired someone to scare Katherine, but I didn't intend for the driver actually to hit her. It was the driver's poor skills that caused the accident! Today's car accident has nothing to do with me. I didn't do it! It really has nothing to do with me! I went to the Melville family to ask her about the baby in her belly, and she already gave me an answer. When I was about to leave, Katherine walked me out to get a cab, and as we were walking, a car suddenly rushed out of the alley..."
Alex's eyes were cold as ice as he interrogated her, "What questions did you have about the baby in her belly?"
Sophie hesitated for a moment, finding it difficult to speak, "Because I heard that the baby in Katherine's belly isn't yours, but Bernard's. I wanted to ask her for confirmation..."
"What? Katherine is pregnant?" Sandra, who was anxiously waiting outside the emergency room, was shocked when she heard Sophie's words. She quickly walked over to ask again, looking at Alex in disbelief, "Alex, is this true?"
Alex had never formally told the Melville family about Katherine's pregnancy, worried that Sandra would start making various nourishing soups for Katherine, which Katherine would be too embarrassed to refuse!
At this point, there was no need to hide it anymore. Alex nodded in affirmation to Sandra.
Sandra had been worried about Katherine's safety, and now she had to worry about the safety of her great-grandchild. She felt as if her surroundings spun out of control, her chest tightened, and she had difficulty breathing...
Alex extended his long arm to support the nearly fainting Sandra and frowned as he instructed Fiona, "You! Help Grandma over to rest!"
For once, Fiona understood and quickly took over supporting Sandra, helping her sit down on a chair by the wall to calm down.
Sophie, not daring to face Alex's questioning gaze any longer, took this opportunity to help Fiona support Sandra. After some thought, she tried to comfort the elderly woman, "Mrs. Melville, please don't worry too much. The baby in Katherine's belly might not even be Alex's. She didn't actually answer me directly today. I think Katherine..."
Before she could finish her sentence, a heavy slap landed on Sophie's face, interrupting her!
Sophie's ears buzzed, and she was momentarily deafened. When the ringing subsided, she looked at the person who had hit her, her eyes widened in shock as she spoke, "Bernard, you hit me?"
Sophie covered her face, looking at her idol in disbelief...
Bernard, though usually cold, had always been a gentleman and had never hit a woman.
His gaze as he looked down at Sophie was devoid of any warmth, he scolded sternly, "Watch your mouth. Speaking ill of someone who is injured and unconscious, unable to defend herself, do you think that's moral?"
Sophie's eyes filled with tears, hurt but speechless, "Bernard, I..."
Nearby, Sandra couldn't understand the complex relationships of these young people and didn't want to. She clasped her hands together and prayed to God, "May God bless us, please let Katherine and her baby be safe, may God bless..."
At this moment, the emergency room light went out, and the doctor, covered in sweat, walked out, removed his medical mask, shook his head, and sighed, "I'm sorry, we did our best!"
Resuscitation failed.
Sandra was stunned for a moment; her eyes rolled back, and she fainted.
Fiona panicked as she tried to wake her up, "Grandma! Grandma..."
Alex's pupils dilated in shock, and his face turned deathly cold, "What did you say? Say it again?"
The doctor, chilled by Alex's cold aura, couldn't lie to the patient's family: "I'm very sorry, Mr. Melville. Mrs. Melville was brought in too late..."
