Chapter 44: A Heart with Bias

They were in the same hospital.

Pierce was not in the mood to deal with Emelia.

He went to the emergency room with a serious and tense expression.

Sophia at the door had her thick eyelashes slightly drooped, her face pale, but she still stood there, listening carefully to the doctor’s treatment plan.

He strode past, his expression intimidating, his aura icy cold:

“How did it go?”

Sophia glanced at him, naturally noticing Emelia behind him, without saying much.

The doctor laid out the situation in detail:

The patient was in a critical condition, especially the old man. He was frail due to his old age, with multiple fractures and internal bleeding. His injuries were more severe.

“The old lady’s condition was slightly better, but she had suffered a blow to the head and was currently in a coma from surgery.”

Pierce’s face was dark and gloomy, his pupils slightly contracted, his thin lips coldly pursed. He directly called the hospital’s director:

“Seek the best doctor to perform the surgery…”

The doctor in front of him interrupted him:

“Mr. Clement, the doctors currently performing the surgery inside are the best in the country, Ms. Cruise has arranged everything,”

Pierce looked up, his gaze meeting Sophia’s, a wave of complex emotions washing over him.

But Sophia didn’t say a word.

Emelia couldn’t help but step forward, her voice carrying a hint of complaint:

“So it was such an important matter, why didn’t Ms. Cruise just say it directly? It wouldn’t have wasted so much time…..”

Sophia’s drooping eyes were tinged with a hint of frost.

She looked up, her gaze cold and laughable:

“Did Ms. Wilson scold me and then hang up the phone? Did she give me time to speak?”

Did Emelia think she wouldn’t resist?

Did he still think she was too lazy to explain?

“You were talking nonsense…”

Emelia turned pale, just about to defend herself, when Pierce gave her an impatient glance.

His voice was heavy, “Enough.”

His heart had unconsciously leaned towards one of these two women.

He believed Sophia’s words.

He looked at Sophia, his lips slightly pursed:

“What happened back then?”

Sophia’s voice was calm, “Grandma found out about our divorce and wanted to come talk to me. As soon as I got off the car there, I saw a car hit her.”

Her heart suddenly shrank in her chest, the pain was intense.

That kind of fear was unspeakable, she watched helplessly, yet she was powerless.

Pierce’s expression was frozen, his eyes dark and deep, a sharp pain slicing through his heart.

When the doctor rushed in to save him, the police also hurriedly arrived.

“Ms. Cruise, did you personally witness the perpetrator?”

“Yes.”

Police: “Did you recognize?”

“Didn’t know.”

Sophia paused, suddenly remembering something:

“That person was a woman, around forty years old, with black curly hair. She had a black mole on the left side of her chin.”

The police nodded, taking down her words.

Upon hearing this, Emelia, who was standing aside, suddenly turned pale.

Shock filled her eyes, and suddenly her legs gave out, causing her to fall onto Pierce beside her.

She clung tightly to Pierce’s waist with both hands, her body trembling.

Pierce frowned, about to move her aside, but seeing her shivering all over, he paused for a second.

“What was wrong with you?”

Emelia’s mind was blank, her heart pounding, her hands and feet icy cold. Gradually, she came back to her senses upon hearing Pierce’s words.

Tears welled up in her eyes, the shock in them transforming into

sorrow:

“I was just too scared, too worried. I hoped that my grandparents would be okay.”

Pierce frowned, guessing that she might be having a bout of

depression, and pulled up the limp figure, placing her on the seat next to him.

Emelia had her arms tightly wrapped around Pierce’s waist, like a vine, soft and boneless, yet unwilling to let go.

“Pierce, I didn’t feel well, my head hurt so much…”

Her voice was sweet and plaintive.

Pierce furrowed his brow, instinctively looking at Sophia next to him.

A clear, piercing light shone in her eyes, carrying a hint of cold amusement as if watching a play, devoid of any anger or jealousy.

His heart sank slightly, he decisively pushed Emelia away, his tone carrying a hint of impatience:
