Chapter 291 Confrontation at the Emergency Room
Celine’s face darkened as she sat some distance away. Her posture was rigid, and her eyes were
gleaming with chilling intensity.
When I saw Celine, I knew it was Atlas inside the emergency room.
I glanced at the tightly shut door of the emergency room, silently praying that everything would be alright.
“What’s this? Weren’t you making a fuss about coming over?” Celine’s tone was icy, and her hawk-like eyes remained fixed on me.
I took a deep breath and bit my lip before approaching her.
“When did his well-being become your business?” Celine’s words were cutting.
“My apologies, Mrs. Celine. I only wanted to know if Atlas was alright. Is he seriously injured?” I struggled
to keep my tone even.
“His condition is none of your concern. This is an internal matter for the Pierce family.”
My tone turned equally sharp. “Are you suggesting that even friends are not allowed in? Can’t someone outside the family care about his well-being?”
*Such insolence! How dare you talk to me like this?!”
My disrespect angered Celine. Did she think she was the only one who could say such venomous things?
I didn’t back down. “I apologize if I sounded disrespectful. But I don’t need anyone’s permission to care about Atlas. It’s a basic human right. You can treat me like a stranger if you want.” “You bitch! Get her out of here!” Celine couldn’t contain her rage any longer. “You shameless wretch!”
I stepped back as two guards approached me.
“Hold it. Mrs. Celine, there’s no need for all this. This is a public place, not your family’s territory.” With that, I turned and walked toward the corridor but didn’t leave.
I eat confidently just outside the emergency room, where I could still observe everything happening inside. Ineeded to know if he was okay. He had held me in his arms just a few hours ago. He couldn’t be senously hurt.
sat there, feeling worried and anxious. How did this accident happen? Atlas had told me he was leaving.
to give Celine come space and break free from her control. Could something else be going on?
A troubling thought crossed my mind. I grabbed my phone and called Grayson. I needed to get more information about the accident. It seemed too coincidental that Atlas was leaving and then this happened.
As I waited for Grayson to answer, I kept my eyes on the door of the emergency room.
