Please Come Back, Honey!

Chapter 24

Chapter 24 Emma’s refusal to respond made Trevor extremely furious. Her temper has gotten quite fierce after the divorce. I can’t believe that she dares to ignore me now. Does she not even have the most basic courtesy? Also, leaving aside our relationship as ex-husband and ex-wife, isn’t she worried that I might end her future career? With my status and influence, I can make it so that she has no place in this city within minutes! Hah! As expected of somebody who has never struggled in society before. She doesn’t even understand the most basic rules of workplace survival. With that personality of hers, she will surely suffer greatly at work. At that time, she will surely lament and regret giving up her position as my wife. I gave her everything except my heart back then. She could have had an easy life with her useless father and brother. When these thoughts ran through his head, he recalled how Emma had brought up divorce in front of so many people back then. Her actions had embarrassed him badly. The flames of anger burned stronger and stronger in his heart, his rage causing him to drive faster and faster as a result. Emma, who was sitting next to him, had no choice but to caution him when she saw that he was speeding up. “Mr. Bateson, you’re driving too fast. Aren’t you afraid of accidents?” Her reminder made him calm down somewhat, and his fool gradually eased off the accelerator. He sneered, “Are you that afraid of dying?” “Even such a blessed person like yourself is not afraid of death. What should I be afraid of?” Her tone was relaxed. “However, it is inappropriate for you to die with me. You should die with the person you love so that there’s some sentimentality. Don’t you think so?” The rage that he finally managed to suppress with great effort erupted again. If not for the injury on her arm, he would have kicked her out of the car there and then. The two of them arrived at the hospital under such an unpleasant atmosphere. Trevor led Emma to Kaleb without further ado. Kaleb Walsh was Trevor’s friend, as well as a famous surgeon.

When Kaleb saw Emma, he immediately exclaimed in surprise. “Emma?” Like Zachary, he knew about Trevor and Emina’s past. That was why he was so shocked to see the divorced couple appearing in his office at the same time. Emma got straight to the point. “Hello, Dr. Walsh. Please help to check whether my injury is okay. I was scalded by hot coffee.” Only then did he return to his senses and quickly replicd, “Sure, sure.” Holding her fair wrist, he carefully examined her arm for a while before he spoke again. “It’s not serious. Fortunately, the coffee had been bought for some time beforehand. The heat had reduced considerably by then. The wound does not extend beyond the surface of the skin, so it will not blister or leave a scar. However, it will definitely be red and sting for a few days. I will prescribe some ointment for you to apply to relieve the stinging pain.” He was very professional when giving her medical treatment. She nodded and thanked him. “Okay. Thanks.” After Kaleb gave Emma the prescription, Emma stood up to leave and pick up her prescribed medication. Throughout the entire process, she completely ignored Trevor standing nearby. Nevertheless, she had only taken the first step before she paused in her tracks. She seemed to consider something briefly, then she took out a 100-dollar bill from her purse. Walking over to Trevor, she stuffed the money into his shirt pocket and said, “Mr. Bateson, thank you for bringing me to the hospital. This is to pay for the fare. You can keep the change.” She turned around to leave after saying that, ignoring Kaleb’s gaping mouth that fell open from shock and Trevor’s pitch-black expression. Knowing that he would never accept her money, she decided to force the 100-dollar bill on him instcad. She did not wish to owe him anything in the slightest. Kaleb stared at the interaction between those two with a dazed expression, feeling like he was stuck in a dream. It had been a year since he last saw Emma. He felt as though she had become a completely different person in that period. She was so cold and distant that he no longer knew her.
