Love At The Wrong Table

Chapter 208

At Beacon Hospital, Emmanuel was working when Frederick suddenly ran up

to him.

“Emmanuel, do you have a cousin called Ryder?” Frederick asked.

“Yes. What is it?” Emmanuel replied.

The panicked look on Frederick’s face was making Emmanuel anxious.

“I knew it! I was wondering why the name sounded familiar, and I know that

Lowe isn’t a common surname in Yeringham. He really is your cousin! He was

just rushed into the emergency operating theaters!”

“What?” Emmanuel gasped in shock.

He shot to his feet and dashed off toward the emergency operating theaters

without another word.

Did Ryder bump into trouble on his way home from the bar?

No!

The timing was off. Ryder should have been hurt after he arrived home.

Was Abellyn involved in this?

He arrived at the emergency operating theaters at the same time as

Alessandra and Roselynn.

“Mom, Roselynn, you were told about Ryder?” he asked anxiously.

He was surprised to see them. After all, he only knew about this because of

Frederick. How was his family here when he had not informed them about

this?

“Mary called to ask me to help out here, Manny. Do you know what

happened?”

Alessandra was beside herself with worry.

Ryder’s father was Emmanuel’s uncle. Thus, ever since Ryder’s parents

passed away, Alessandra had been the closest he had to a parent.

Since Mary called her, he could already hazard a guess at what had

happened. Ryder should have either gotten into a fight with Abellyn or the

state of their marriage was mentioned. That was why their parents were

needed to help sort the mess out.

“Let’s head in and check in on him first,” he said.

“Okay.”

When the trio found the exact operating theater Ryder was in, the indicator

light was still on while everyone from Abellyn’s side of the family was present.

“What happened?”

Alessandra was the first to speak up.

Ryder had been like a son to her ever since his parents‘ deaths.

Before Mary could respond, Chloe let out a loud scoff. “Serves him right! Ryder

has been abusing Abellyn. She only grabbed the knife to defend herself. It

was an accident that she stabbed him in the abdomen.”

“What?” Alessandra gasped.

The Lowe family were flabbergasted.

However, Roselynn was not a pushover, so she instantly retorted, “I know

Ryder better than you ever will. He has doted on her for years. She must have

stepped out of line. That’s the only reason for someone as nice as him to go NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

berserk.”

Abellyn, who was trembling the entire time, did not chime in.

Chloe spoke up instead, “You know what kind of man he is while I know what

kind of woman Abellyn is. She is a gentle and sweet soul. She would never

have grabbed the knife if she weren’t being abused!”

Roselynn scoffed derisively. “When a woman stabs her husband, it’s called

murder. How can a gentle and sweet soul do that? Your family sure loves

kicking up a fuss when you’re the one in the wrong. I am 100% sure that

Abellyn was in the wrong before this!”

“Rubbish! Do you think you can just push us around?”

Chloe immediately shouted back with more insults.

When Mary saw that Roselynn was close to blowing a gasket and would not

be backing down, she hurriedly called out, “Everyone, quiet!”

It was only then that Chloe stopped hurling abuses at them.

As Mary was still an elder, Roselynn fell silent after letting out a cold snort.

“Alessandra, since you are my in–law, let’s talk this out like adults,” Mary

intoned solemnly.
