Xante was brought out of her trance when Sunny called out to her. She got into the elevator with them.


    Inside, Xante texted her subordinates to look into why Melinda and Lilin were in the hospital.


    Sunny was a little upset when he saw her on the phone, but he did not say anything as he knew she was a workaholic.


    Ding!


    Sunny wheeled Maxwell out with Xante following behind them when the elevator door opened.


    However, she then saw several men in ck dragging Marvin into the elevator.


    ''What''s going on? What''s the boss'' adopted father doing here? He looks like he''s being brought here against his will,'' thought Xante with narrowed eyes.


    Emily, upon her request, was transferred from her VIP ward to a general ward. Her VIP ward was too close to Maxwell''s, and she would rather stay in an ordinary ward to be as far away from him as possible. The nurse left after settling Emily in her general ward. Melinda and Lilin closed the door before walking up to Emily.


    Emily was in a daze, and she did not look good.Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    Melinda knew the reason, so she sat down on the edge of Emily''s bed and held her hand. "You saw Maxwell, didn''t you? I must say, you two really are destined to meet each other. You wanted to change your ward because you wanted to be as far away from him as possible, yet you managed to run into him in the corridor."


    Emily smiled mockingly. "I don''t see it as destiny. It''s more like a curse."


    Melinda sighed. She did not know what to say after that.


    "Melinda, my injury isn''t that serious. Please help me get discharged from the hospital after I''ve finished my IV drip," said Emily.


    Notfortable with doing that, Melinda replied, "How can you say it''s not serious when you''ve lost so much blood? Didn''t you hear what the nurse told you? She said you have to be extra careful, or your wound is going to get infected!"


    "I''ll be careful after I get out of the hospital, so it''s going to be fine!"


    Melinda frowned. "Emily, I know you''re rushing to get out of here because you don''t want to see your ex-husband, but we''ve already transferred you to this general ward! You''re not going to run into him again since you two aren''t even on the same floor. It was just a coincidence that you two ran into each other in the corridor just now, and the same coincidence isn''t going to happen twice!"


    Emily fell silent. Indeed, she did see Maxwell, but she was quick enough to lower her head to avoid him seeing her.


    He had gotten much older since shest saw him decades ago. He was no longer the high-spirited yer in his youth. He just looked like a sad old man.


    The memories she tried so hard to forget came rushing back when she saw her ex-husband. She would not be able to rest well or stop worrying as long as stayed in the same hospital as him. "I''m alright, Melinda, but I''m going to be in a sh*tty mood if I continue to stay here."


    "Even so, that doesn''t mean you have to get out today! You should stay at least three days. I''ll help you get discharged once the doctor says you''re okay in three days," said Melinda helplessly. Emily knew Melinda was worried about her. Thus, as much as she did not want to stay, she simply let the whole matter go.


    ''Three days will pass soon enough. I won''t run into that man if I just stay in my room,'' she thought.


    "Fine. Three days it is."


    Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and Lilin quickly ran to open it.


    Several men in ck held Marvin at the door.


    "Miss Lilin, we''ve brought the man you asked for," said one of them respectfully.
