Revenge Of The Jilted Bride

Jilted Bride 104

Chapter 104

Emily was abandoned on the street and taken to the hospital after being found.

By the time Owen and Heather arrived, they saw Emily curled up on the bed, staring blankly ahead, trembling as she hugged her knees. "Doctor, what's wrong with my daughter?" Owen asked, his voice tight and worried as he looked at Emily.

"The patient is physically fine, just a bit shaken. She's in a state of emotional distress and will need time to recover, the doctor explained.

"My sweet girl, please don't scare me like this. Whatever's going on, just tell me. Heather said gently, sitting by the bed, but Emily flailed like she was losing her mind, pushing Heather away "Get out. It's all because of your daughter. She she shot at me. I almost died" "What?" Heather froze in disbelief. Ophelia again? she thought.

"If that's the case, I'd suggest you call the police, the doctor said before leaving the room.

Owen frowned. "Emily, don't get worked up. Just take it slow. Weren't you meeting Kenneth today?"

At the mention of Kenneth, Emily's panic surged. She grabbed Owen's arm in desperation. "Dad, calling the police won't help Kenneth wants me dead. I found out his secret, and now he's going to kill me. And Ophelia... She's his lover. What am I going to do. Dad? I don't want to die."

"That shameless bitch, Heather muttered, then suddenly paused, realizing something. "Wait, whose lover? Kenneth? Emily, you must be mistaken. Can Ophelia even do something like that!

Owen quickly caught on to the critical detail-Ophelia was Kenneth's lover. No wonder such a mere girl had caught the Carnegie family's attention. His mind raced. "You rest for now. I have two bodyguards posted outside to protect you" "I will stay here with you," Heather added.

"No, you're not my mom. L. Emily stopped herself just in time, refusing to look at Heather. "I don't need you as my mother. Ophelia thinks I've stolen everything from her, and that's why she's doing this to me. Go away. I don't want to see you." Heather was heartbroken at Emily's words. She thought. It's all because of that wretched girl, Ophelia. Ever since she came back, she's turned my whole family upside down.

Just as Heather was about to speak, Owen's stern gaze stopped her. The time had come. He needed to tell Heather the truth sooner or later.
