Adam snorted. "Don't you two get it? Why should I stay here if they're not going to accept my apology? Let's leave!"
Lilin looked annoyed. "But Dad..."
"Enough!" Adam bent down and lifted his daughter in his arms. "We shouldn't have come here in the first place. Let's go. We're going to bail your sister out. She's waiting for us!"
Melinda, embarrassed but unable to do anything about it, bid farewell to Emily and Corinne before rushing out to try and catch up.
When they left, Emily's expression sank, and she felt her heart grow heavier. Corinne remained silent and chose to pretend as though nothing happened. She handed some food to her mother and said, "Here. Have some dinner."
Emily nodded and offered a reluctant smile to Corinne before eating quietly.
When Corinne saw this, she turned to Jeremy and asked, "Could you accompany me to the bathroom, please?"
Jeremy nodded in tacit understanding. He came forward and left the ward with her. The hospital corridors were slightly less crowded in the evening as there were not a lot of people.
Corinne held Jeremy's hand and said, "Hey. You don't need to show mercy to Adam for my mother's sake. I don't want you to suffer this injustice because of my mother and I. Just go ahead and deal with them as you see fit."
Jeremy turned to her and said, "I don't feel like I suffered that big of an injustice."
Corinne frowned. "You might not feel that way, but I do! Why should you forgive someone who broke your legs? Everyone must face the consequences of their wrongdoings. Adam and Sophia are no exception."
Jeremy felt a pang of distress when he saw how visibly distressed Corinne was. He held her in his arms and caressed the back of her head. "Okay, I won't show mercy on them. I'll deal with them harshly and stop this injustice. Don't cry, okay? It pains me when you cry."
Corinne buried her face in his chest. She was determined to ensure that Adam would not be let off that easily for her mother's sake, but she feared that Jeremy might show more mercy out of care and concern for his mother-in-law. She would not allow him to do that, not when Adam and Sophia had inflicted on him the worst form of suffering that he ever experienced in his entire life.
"I mean it, Jeremy. I don't want you to show mercy to Adam! It's his fault that he raised his daughter to become an evil and ruthless woman. He should bear the consequences of his actions!" Jeremy hugged her and said, "You're right. I'll do as you say."

Meanwhile, in the elevator, Melinda said to Adam, "Didn't you already say we won't rescue Sophia? Why are you changing your mind again?" Visit Popsnovel.com to read the latest chapter of this novel

Adam snorted. "You saw that, didn't you? I apologized to them, but they're not keen on accepting it at all. Why should we suck up to them if they can't even bother to show you or Emily any courtesy? It's almos as if they don't give a damn about your friendship with Emily. I'm better off trying to help my daughter than
dealing with them." Visit
