Chapter 336
“You finally see my true nature of being someone cold–blooded and ruthless
now, huh? Why did you pursue me, then? Are you thinking of getting back
together with a heartless woman like me? Do you honestly believe that’s still
a possibility?” Mackenzie sneered in response. Hearing that, Emmanuel
clenched his fists tightly as he looked at her cold and heartless gaze.

He had come here hoping to have a conversation with Mackenzie after
hearing Terence and his mother’s advice. However, their exchange made it
clear that he couldn’t expect any understanding from her. “In that case,
goodbye, Ms. Quillen!” Emmanuel made up his mind to turn around and
leave.
At that moment, a pang of pain shot through his chest. Perhaps this would
truly be the last time he and Mackenzie would ever speak to each other. As
Emmanuel walked away, Mackenzie also felt a sudden stab of pain in her
heart. She had deceived herself all along, convincing herself that seeking
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJuan’s help to save Ryder was solely for Tommy’s sake. Deep down, she now
realized it was also for Emmanuel. Is this painful feeling what they call love?
Mackenzie wanted to say something to stop Emmanuel from leaving since
she hadn’t actually intended to divorce him or deny him any chance at all.
She had been waiting for him to apologize and sever ties with Claudette,
then she would consider forgiving him. She never expected things to unfold in
this manner. However, before she could utter a word, she saw Claudette
rushing toward Emmanuel.
When Claudette noticed the anguish on Emmanuel’s face, she asked
concernedly, “Dr. Lowe, are you okay? You don’t look well.”
“I’m fine, thank you for your concern, Ms. Lenoir.” Emmanuel had thoughts of
distancing himself from Claudette, but that thought made him feel uneasy.
He wondered why Mackenzie had to interpret their friendship differently even
though they were just friends. Since they were already going through a
divorce, why should he keep his distance from Claudette? Emmanuel
reassured himself that he had a clear conscience and that there was no
need for such behavior. As he and Claudette walked back to the hospital side
by side, Mackenzie tightly pursed her lips, her once bright eyes now dull and
trembling.
“Claudette, why must you take away the things that rightfully belong to me?
Is it truly worth it?” Mackenzie’s eyes were filled with anger.
Soon, Emmanuel returned to the hospital with Claudette, and Tommy rushed
over to his side as he was curious about what had happened. “Uncle Manny,
what happened between you and Mackenzie?”
“It’s nothing, Tommy. Be a good boy and stay with your father. I’ll take you
home when I finish work!” With that, Emmanuel led Tommy away. It was then
that Claudette realized there was no room for her to continue following them
and that Emmanuel was deliberately distancing himself from her. She
couldn’t help but feel a tinge of disappointment as she walked out of the
hospital.
A Rolls–Royce was parked at the hospital entrance, and upon seeing her
daughter’s distraught appearance, Laura giggled. “What’s wrong? Did Dr.
Brooks fail to cure Dr. Lowe’s cousin? Is that why he isn’t appreciative of you?”
Hearing that, Claudette nodded and shook her head before finally sighing.

Once inside the car, she recounted everything that had happened at the
hospital to her mother.
Laura, being an emotionally sensitive person, quickly reassured her by
saying, “Silly girl, why are you in such a hurry? That man just divorced
Mackenzie, and he’s not a scoundrel, so he won’t accept you so quickly! Since
you’ve come this far, don’t overthink things and put unnecessary pressure on
yourself. Didn’t we agree to be shameless and determined? If you continue to
persist, that man will eventually fall for you!”
Hearing that, Claudette pressed her lips together and nodded as her hesitant
gaze gradually turned resolute. Yes, they had come this far, so she shouldn’t
be overthinking and stressing herself out.
After work, Emmanuel got ready to pick Tommy up and bring him back home.
However, he was surprised at how soon Ryder’s recovery was, for it was even
faster than he had imagined. Ryder was eager to leave the hospital and
insisted that Emmanuel bring him home. Unable to resist, Emmanuel
eventually agreed, but he couldn’t help but worry that conflicts might arise
between the father and son and Abellyn upon reaching home!
