You Are The Pursuit of My Life

Chapter 162

Edric arrived precisely at that time.

Alarmed to see Margaret rolling down the stairs, he hurried forward and asked, "Mom, are you all right?"

Margaret screamed, "My leg! My leg hurts so much!"

Irene was also shocked to see Margaret fall down the stairs. However, seeing that Edric was there, she decided to pay no heed and continued to stride out with Eden in his arms.

Jordan and Kinsey followed closely. After the three of them reached the front desk, Irene informed the nurse about her identity and asked her to discharge Eden.

The nurse frowned. "Do you have any proof of you being the child's mother?"

"Yes, and I'll show you my identity card and passport." Irene hurriedly reached for her identity card from her leather purse. She had just got off the plane, hence both her identity card and passport were still with her, which could be used to prove the relationship between her and Eden.

The nurse eyed her documents and said, "The child is not emotionally stable right now. I'd suggest you let him stay at the hospital. You'd better keep him here for two more days to observe his condition."

"No, I have to get him discharged from the hospital immediately." Irene did not dare to let Eden stay there anymore. With Margaret around, Eden's condition would only worsen.

The nurse had no choice but to say, "If you insist, you'll have to sign an AMA form. It means you insist on discharging your child against medical advice."

"Okay, I'll sign it." Irene only hoped to leave as soon as possible. She would sign anything in order to achieve that goal.

Edric was frightened to see Margaret on the floor, screaming in pain. He immediately sent for the doctor and nurse to treat her. Margaret was then pushed into the examination room. After a short while, the doctor told Edric that Margaret's leg was broken and an operation was required at that instant.

Margaret was then pushed into the operating room for surgery while Edric was waiting outside. Margaret was already quite old; she couldn't possibly withstand any more fall. Looking at his worried face, John consoled him, "Everything's going to be okay. Don't worry!" Finally, after the operation, Edric and John went to see Margaret. Although Margaret had already undergone an operation, her leg still hurt a lot. As soon as she saw Edric, she cried and cursed at the same time, trying to force Edric to take Eden back. She also stated that she would not let Irene get away with it. Edric's head was in a mush when he saw Margaret acting like that. Just then, his worries were all superseded by Margaret's cursing. He ordered Loraine to look after Margaret before he turned around and left the ward.

Seeing Edric leave, Margaret was so infuriated that she vented her anger at Loraine. Loraine took in all the anger silently and cussed Margaret in her heart.

Edric went out of the hospital and called Irene to inquire about Eden. Originally, he'd thought that Irene would not answer his phone, but the call was soon connected. Coldly, Irene said to him on the other side of the phone, "Look, Edric. From now on, I hope you won't come to me and Eden anymore. Otherwise, you will never get to see Eden in your lifetime."

Right at that moment, let alone remarry Irene and let Eden recognize him as a father, it would already be an impossible feat just to obtain Irene's forgiveness.

It was only after Irene's constant reassurance that Eden finally became relieved. "Irene, where do you want to go now?"
