Chapter 438
His mind was in a mess, on one hand comforting himself that Estelle was agile and couldn’t be hurt by
others, on the other hand, he was afraid that she would fall into some people’s traps. Under the
influence of such wild thoughts, his car sped up.
Upon arriving at the hospital, he approached the duty nurse to inquire about the condition of the girl
who had recently been admitted. The nurse’s cryptic expression only deepened. his somber demeanor.
Navigating his way to the emergency room, he hurried toward the operating room, accidentally colliding
with a man who promptly cursed him for his apparent lack of vision. Unfazed, he chose not to engage
in an argument.
Abruptly, he came to a halt, fixating his gaze upon the girl holding medication, not even blinking.
Meanwhile, Estelle arrived to assist Emily with the hospital fees. Sensing someone’s gaze upon her,
she looked up and locked eyes with Manley, who stood there, a lazy smile playing across his face.
Drawing nearer, Manley appraised Estelle with a leisurely expression. “Hey there,” he greeted.
Estelle looked puzzled, “What are you doing here?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtManley blinked, calmly said, “Just passing by!”
Estelle frowned, passing by in a hospital?
She had no time to deal with him, took the list and hurried away.
Manley didn’t follow, he saw the name on the list, not Estelle!
He took a long breath, realizing his back was soaked in sweat, and the breeze from the central air
conditioning felt incredibly refreshing!
When Estelle returned to the ward, the doctor was still checking Emily’s body, and others were waiting
outside.
Soon the doctor came out, took off the mask, “Emily’s hand is badly injured, and other areas have cuts
of varying severity, fortunately, she did not suffer any substantial harm.”
Estelle silently breathed a sigh of relief.
The doctor’s tone suddenly became serious, “She was fed something, needs immediate gastric lavage,
who are her family members, please come sign the liability form.”
Charlie said gravely, “We are all her friends, we have called her family, for not delaying time, I can sign,
and take responsibility for any consequences!”

The doctor thought for a moment and nodded, “Alright, then follow me, we will prepare for the gastric
lavage.”
Charlie followed the doctor to sign the form, Estelle leaned against the wall, Yvonne stood beside her,
relaxed, “Luckily, things did not go to the worst!”
Estelle just nodded without saying a word.
Yvonne felt awkward, walked to Jonathan’s side, whispered, “Is Estelle blaming me for speaking on
behalf of Nora just now?”
Jonathan said lightly, “It’s none of your business, stay out of it!”
Yvonne lowered her head and said aggrievedly, “I met Nora when we were kids, she seemed quite
obedient. She’s two years younger than me and always followed me. She’s not a bad person, just

Jonathan frowned, his voice cold, “She’s not bad? She’s also a girl, but instructed a few boys to bully
another girl, and she was standing aside with her phone taking pictures! She’s not just bad, she’s
vicious, so vicious to be infuriating!”
Yvonne felt even more embarrassed and couldn’t say a word.
After half an hour, Emily underwent gastric lavage and was subsequently placed in a hospital ward. Her
wounds had been treated and dressed, yet her complexion remained pallid, and she remained
unconscious.
Charlie received a phone call from Josiah, informing him that Nora’s father, Robert, had arrived at the
police station.
Charlie’s voice turned icy cold as he responded, “Regardless of who shows up today, ensure that none
of those seven individuals are allowed to leave! Tell Robert that he must decide between protecting his
daughter or preserving his current position.”
Aware of the connection between the Nora’s family and the Hanson family, Josiah hesitated, fearing
embarrassment for Yvonne. “Please don’t inform Yvonne. Having such relatives is truly unfortunate for
her.”
“Understood,” Charlie replied curtly before ending the call
