Chapter 196
When Cullen arrived at the Sidovor City Hospital, Amber was still in the ward.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
The ward was quiet. Cullen did not dare to make noise. After entering quietly, he looked at Leo, who was standing by the window.
Leo had already taken off his wedding coat and it was thrown on the couch. He was only wearing a white shirt, and his back view looked a little lonely.
As Amber was resting, Cullen did not say anything.
He walked to Leo's side quietly and typed some words on his phone for Leo to read.
[Are you feeling okay?]
Leo glanced sideways at Cullen without much expression on his face. "Are you here to laugh at me?"
He did not bother much about his mother, who was still asleep.
Not long after Amber was sent to the hospital, the medicine in the drip that the doctor used had a calming effect. Hence, Leo was not worried that Amber would wake up suddenly. Cullen sighed and said in a low voice, "I wouldn't dare!"
Leo's lips curved. "Why wouldn't you dare? I think you're still lamenting over the fact that you didn't attend the wedding ceremony."
After what happened today, which family wouldn't have watched the show?
Cullen did not feel guilty after his thoughts were exposed. He glanced at Leo sluggishly. "Are you still considered married to her?" "What do you think?"
Leo looked out the window again. His tone did not change at all, as if he was talking about something unrelated to him.
Cullen looked at him in surprise and wanted to turn Leo's face over to look at his expression. "Leo, have you gone crazy from anger? Why aren't you reacting at all?"
Leo became impatient. He frowned and avoided Cullen's hand. "How should I react?"
"No matter what, you have to be angry. No man can accept being labeled a cuckold in front of so many people!"
The wedding ceremony became so ridiculous that even if the person Leo married was someone he did not love, it would still be unbearable.
Moreover, Leo had told Edgar when he was still around that Sally was the woman he wanted to marry. How could he not have any reaction?
Could it be that he had gone crazy from anger?
Cullen thought of this possibility and could not help but say, "Leo, why don't you see a doctor? You..."
"Cullen, are you very bored?" Without waiting for Cullen to finish speaking, Leo interrupted him coldly, "If you have nothing to do, you can get out now. Don't sprout nonsense here."
Leo couldn't be bothered to talk to Cullen anymore. He turned around and walked away from the window to stay away from Cullen.
"I'm just worried about you." Cullen also turned around. "Don't be so ungrateful. If I wasn't afraid that you wouldn't be able to take this blow, do you think I would abandon the beautiful woman and come to the hospital to see how you are?"
Indeed Sally was a bitch. Cullen was happy to see this woman make a fool of herself. No matter what, Leo had put in a lot of effort and money over the years in their relationship. Cullen had to show some care and concern for his buddy.
"You don't have to do that. I will not break down because of such a matter." Leo sat down on the couch and took out his phone to read his emails.
Although he did not take this farce to heart, it would not be good if word got out. If it affected the Palmer Group, it would cause those old fellows from the board to make more noise. He had to get someone to suppress the news as soon as possible.
As for Cullen's worry, it was strange that after such a big scene at the wedding ceremony, Leo did not feel much emotion when he saw Sally having sex with other men. He only felt disgusted.
He could imagine how disgusting Sally was because she had so many partners.
The wedding ceremony was left unsettled. Sally who was unconscious was taken away by Ramona. Maya called Leo to go to the hospital.
He had no time to think about other stuff.
The only thing Leo was sure of was that when he left the wedding banquet, he actually felt relieved.
Perhaps, he did not want to marry Sally.
Realizing this, Leo stopped what he was doing and thought about this conclusion with a frown. "What are you thinking about?"
Cullen noticed his strange behavior. When Cullen looked through the various jokes about Sally on his phone, he threw a glance at Leo.
Leo naturally wouldn't tell him what his real thoughts were.
"Nothing."
Leo's attention returned to his emails on his phone. He was dealing with company matters, unlike Cullen who was still laughing at a joke shown on his phone.
As the phone screen was small, Leo had a headache after looking at it for a while. Hence, he put his phone back into his pocket.
Leo did not realize that the screen of the phone was still bright but it was on silent mode.
He picked up the coat from the couch and looked at Cullen who was slouching there. "I'll go back to the office first. Where are you going?"
Cullen was surprised. "Back to the company? What about Amber?"
Leo briefly told him about the medicine that the doctor used. "She won't wake up for a while. I'll come back at night. Besides, Maya is taking care of her. I don't have to worry about her."
He had come to the hospital to get some peace. He could not stay here forever. He might as well go back to the company to deal with things.
Cullen cursed when he heard what Leo said. He silently got up from the couch and followed.
The two of them were silent the whole time.
It was not until they left the hospital and were about to get into their cars that Leo stopped Cullen.
"Do you know how Madison is doing?"
*****
At the Hale family villa.
After calling a few times without anyone picking up, Ramona finally gave up.
She frowned. "It's over now. I think this wedding is never going to make out."
Richard was even more furious. "You're still thinking about this marriage. The Palmer family was composed enough not to flare up at the banquet. You still want someone to marry your slutty daughter? Aren't you ashamed!"
"What my slutty daughter? Isn't she your daughter? If you call your daughter names, then what are you?"
Ramona was instantly enraged as well. She was just short of tearing Richard's ugly face apart!
Richard spat. "The Hale family doesn't have such a daughter. This is extremely humiliating! She is not like the one we brought back by mistake. At least she is obedient and doesn't go out fooling around. Look at how you raised her!"
Ramona picked up a cushion beside her and threw it at Richard. "I raised her? Now it's all my fault? If you like that Madison bitch so much, why don't you beg her to come back! All these years, you have never helped in raising our daughter, and you are blaming me now?"
"Isn't it your fault? If you hadn't kicked Madison out, we wouldn't have ended up like this with the Palmer family. In the past, the Palmer family even called us in-laws."
Richard dodged the cushion and glared fiercely at Ramona.
He could not be bothered with her anymore. He muttered to himself, "I wonder if the Palmer family will be angry this time. Previously, the Palmer Group withdrew all cooperation with our company. If we have offended them big time, the Hale family business will be destroyed. No, this won't do."
When Ramona heard Richard muttering, she wished she could just tear his mouth apart.
Ramona thought, 'Money, money, money! Other than money, he doesn't see anything else!'
She wondered why she chose to marry him back then.
Richard didn't care who released the video at the banquet. All he cared about was his lousy company. If it weren't for Sally, the Hale family's company would have closed down a few years ago! Ramona decided to investigate if Richard didn't.
She took a deep breath and made a call.
At this moment, Sally who was upstairs felt enraged.
She had smashed almost everything in the room as she cursed and swore angrily.
Sally thought, 'Damn it, my wedding is ruined! If I find out who the culprit is, I'll not let this person off!"
As Sally was still smashing her things, she heard a man's leisurely voice come from the door. "Yo! Why are you so angry?"
