Confrontation at the Emergency Room


    Celine’s face darkened as she sat some distance away. Her posture was rigid, and her eyes were


    gleaming with chilling intensity.


    When I saw Celine, I knew it was As inside the emergency room.


    I nced at the tightly shut door of the emergency room, silently praying that everything would be


    alright.

    “What’s this? Weren’t you making a fuss abouting over?” Celine’s tone was icy, and her hawk–like


    eyes remained fixed on me.


    I took a deep breath and bit my lip before approaching her.


    “When did his well–being be your business?” Celine’s words were cutting.


    “My apologies, Mrs. Celine. I only wanted to know if As was alright. Is he seriously injured?” I


    struggled


    to keep my tone even.


    “His condition is none of your concern. This is an internal matter for the Pierce family.”


    My tone turned equally sharp. “Are you suggesting that even friends are not allowed in? Can’t someone


    outside the family care about his well–being?”


    *Such insolence! How dare you talk to me like this?!”


    My disrespect angered Celine. Did she think she was the only one who could say such venomous


    things?


    I didn’t back down. “I apologize if I sounded disrespectful. But I don’t need anyone’s permission to care


    about As. It’s a basic human right. You can treat me like a stranger if you want.”


    “You bitch! Get her out of here!” Celine couldn’t contain her rage any longer. “You shameless wretch!”


    I stepped back as two guards approached me.


    “Hold it. Mrs. Celine, there’s no need for all this. This is a public ce, not your family’s territory.” With


    that, I turned and walked toward the corridor but didn’t leave.


    I eat confidently just outside the emergency room, where I could still observe everything happening


    inside.


    Ineeded to know if he was okay. He had held me in his arms just a few hours ago. He couldn’t be


    senously hurt.


    sat there, feeling worried and anxious. How did this ident happen? As had told me he was


    leaving.


    to give Celinee space and break free from her control. Could something else be going on?


    A troubling thought crossed my mind. I grabbed my phone and called Grayson. I needed to get more


    information about the ident. It seemed too coincidental that As was leaving and then this


    happened.


    As I waited for Grayson to answer, I kept my eyes on the door of the emergency room.
