Standing in the doorway was a fresh-faced and pretty nurse whom they had never seen before. She had a medical record in one hand and the other held a pen as it rested on the doorknob.The nurse had frozen in place after seeing the unexpected scene before her and she only snapped out of her daze when she registered what Tony had said. She stammered as she flushed, “P-Pardon me. I saw that the door was open, so I came in without knocking.”Meanwhile, Myra was blushing all the way down to her neck as she tore herself away from him despite his firm hold. As she straightened her posture, she shot him a deadly glare before turning to give the nurse a sheepish look. “I’m sorry; are you here to check up on him? I can step away for a bit while you do your work.”The nurse hummed pensively in response. Myra could be wrong, but she thought there could have been a cold gleam in the nurse’s eyes as the latter acknowledged her. However, the nurse resumed her demure countenance as she glanced over a
Most of her fits revolved around the same thing—she didn’t want to leave Bradfort City and she insisted on having the doctor flown in so that she could receive her treatment here in the hospital.There had also been several occasions when Gemma tried to sneak over to Tony’s hospital ward at the end of the corridor, but she was reprimanded by the guards stationed outside her room before she could even get past the threshold.The bodyguards had been stationed outside her door ever since she found out about the severity of her wounds. While her family had told her that the bodyguards were for her protection, they were secretly hoping worried that she would throw a manic fit and stir up trouble once more. Gemma had avidly protested against this decision, but it was to no avail. In addition to her tantrums, the injuries on her hands had taken a turn for the worse after her refusal to sit still and recuperate. It wasn’t until after Edward’s stern warning that she finally settled.“Mom, I do
There had not been much to glean from what Elsie had said, but she knew that the entire incident had something to do with Kris and probably Gemma as well.She felt uneasy as she returned to Tony’s suite and upon entering, she saw that he was eating his meal with one hand.Although he was injured and seated on the bedside while spooning mouthfuls of food with one hand, he looked graceful nonetheless.Myra felt the knot in her stomach untangle at the sight of him doing so. She sauntered over and took the spoon and the bowl from him before she brought a mouthful of porridge to his thin lips.Tony raised his brow at her action. “I thought I was supposed to eat it on my own.”She rolled her eyes at him. “At the speed you’re eating, the porridge would be cold by the time you manage to finish it.”He flashed the barest hint of a smile as he mused, “You never mean what you say, Myra. I know you care about me. You don’t have to come up with an excuse just so you can run back here and feed me,
She should have been the one to be in Tony’s arms, but Myra had to come along and take everything away from her. In retrospect, she should have followed him back to Bradfort City months ago, but she hadn’t thought that he would fall head over heels for another woman within such a short span of time.Gemma wanted to clench her fists, but a sharp ache tore through her arms whenever she moved her fingers. The injuries on her hands were already grave on their own, but any movement that required so much as an ounce of strength was enough to send a paralyzing pain through her bones.She gritted her teeth. If he hadn’t provoked her the other day, she wouldn’t have lost control and rammed into him with her car, thereafter crashing into the oncoming truck. She wouldn’t have ended up in such a sorry state.A fire burned in her eyes as she dwelled on those and at the thought of the video she had just received, she grew even more outraged.…Tony and Myra had kept their evening stroll brief and b
“You kept saying that you like Tony and you love him but the truth is, you only want to possess him. You don’t care if he likes you or if he can accept you, all you want is him! You don’t love him at all and you only love yourself!”Myra clutched the phone in her hand. “You pushed him so hard that he lost his reasoning and strangled you, and you caused him to hate you even more. Gemma, you were the one who brought yourself to where you are now. Every time you try to harm someone, you end up hurting yourself. Just stop it.” Myra took a deep breath and her expression was stern. “If you stop with what you are doing now, you may not need to leave Bradfort City and everything can still return to the way it was—”“Shut up!” Before Myra could finish, Gemma interrupted her and she yelled, “Do you think that your words can make me back off? I love Tony and I want to be with him! This is how my love is! The reason he grew to hate me is because of you and your dirty tricks, you b*tch! Why can’t
After taking her into his embrace, he used his injured hand to tap open a video in his phone.There were two people in the video—Gemma and Tony.However, it was different from the one that Gemma had shown Myra. That video began with Tony strangling her but in this video, the whole process, as well as the other scenes, were shown—Gemma tried to seduce Tony and refused to let him leave, giving him no choice but to strangle her before he let her go. After that, Tony’s car was about to drive off but Gemma was seen stomping on the pedal in an attempt to run into his car. To make matters worse, the video that Gemma had shown Myra was soundless, but there was audio in this video that Tony showed her. Therefore, Myra was able to hear every single word that Gemma said.“Tony, I only want to help you to relieve your needs. I know that Myra is now pregnant, and you… you… Now that she is pregnant, you must be having a hard time holding back your desires. I have thought things through and I know t
“What are you going to tell me now? That the video was not released by the Walton Family?” Sebastian raged in a sharp tone without any consideration for Old Master Walton’s pride.The latter was so angry that his face flushed red in anger and at the same time, he was at a loss for words. Apparently, they had found out that it was Gemma who released the video to the public, which indicated that she had no intention to make peace with the Hart Family.Before Old Master Walton could even say a word, Sebastian directly hung up the call and switched off his phone.Old Master Walton was so pissed that his chest heaved vigorously. After the call was hung up, he hit his cane so hard on the floor that it snapped.“Dad, how was it?” Samuel worriedly asked from the side.“What else can have happened? Gemma has gotten herself in big trouble this time!” Old Master Walton growled.He did not expect that his granddaughter would kick up such a huge mess when they only took their eyes off her for one
Before the video was played, the reporters had only watched the video that Gemma released to the public, which was only part of the video that was being played now. Gemma had removed the scenes where she tried to seduce Tony and the car accident that happened after that.When the complete video was revealed to the crowd, they could not help but to look at one another, only to find the same surprised look in everyone’s eyes—the entire situation turned out to be something unexpected.First of all, Gemma had attempted to seduce Tony in the basement car park but her repetitive attempts pissed him off. Tony had tried to ask her to let go of him, but she took things even further by saying those shameless words—those were words that should never come out from the mouth of a decent young lady of an influential family. Her actions enraged Tony, which caused the latter to strangle her, but it was not his intention to kill her. From the earlier scene, everyone could tell that he was merely tryin
