Chapter 216
Mateo didn’t address Liam as Mr. Hall. Instead, he called him by his name.
Liam looked down at him with a blank expression, not saying a word.
He should have respected and cared for Emma’s family. But knowing how much she hated them and how the had
mistreated her over the years, he had no good feelings toward Mateo.
“I didn’t expect to see you here,” said Liam.
Mateo laughed awkwardly. “Liam, what are you saying? The hospital called me. As a father, how can I not come

Liam ignored him. Despite Mateo’s show of concern for Emma now, a leopard never changes its spots.

His tone was sincere and touching. Right then, a nurse walked over with the bill for medical expenses.

Liam's sullen face instantly becgloomier,
He seemed to have reached his limit and didn’t want to waste more twith Mateo. He strode forward, took the
bill f Mateo, and walked toward the cashier counter.
Mateo heaved a sigh of relief, thinking he had narrowly avoided paying costly fees.
But within seconds, Liam’s voice rang out, instructing Levi, “Get this man out of here!”
Levi had been displeased with Mateo from the start. So, he replied loudly, “Yes.” Then, he dragged Mateo out.
Levi also had a look of disdain on his face and thought, ‘Son of a bitch! One second, he was playing the
sympathy card, claiming to feel remorse for his daughter. The next second, he was even unwilling to pay the
medical fees. What a hypocritical jerk!
Mateo cursed Levi as he was dragged out, “Who do you think you are? I'm Liam's father-in-law! You're just a
lowly worker... How dare you treat your boss’s father-in-law this way?”
Levi turned a deaf ear and treated it as a dog barking.
When they reached the entrance of the hospital, a crowd had gathered, watching and pointing at Mateo.
Levi shoved him out and spat, “Get lost! Your daughter had a car accident and you only care about money! Do
you have a conscience? Get as far away as you can and stop bothering Mrs. Hall!”

After Levi finished scolding, the onlookers nodded in agreement. They pointed at Mateo and discussed
animatedly, expressing their disdain for him.
“He looks respectable. I didn’t expect him to be so shameless.”
“Yeah, another one of those who favor sons over daughters!”
“How unlucky to have such a father!”
Mateo’s face turned red and pale alternately.
Feeling too ashamed to face everyone, he scurried away like a rai
Inside the hospital room, Emma had already woken up.
She heard a commotion outside but didn’t catch the details. Therefore, she was unaware of what Mateo and
Liam had said.
However, after a while, footsteps sounded at the door.
After the doctor left, a man in a black trench coat walked in.
His face showed evident worry and anxiety. His gaze was fixed on Emma's face, and his eyes were bloodshot.
Emma’s wounds hurt, especially the fracture in her shoulder. But seeing Liam's condition, her concern for him
outweighed her own pain.
“Honey...” Emma said.
“Enima.” Liam's voice was hoarse. He couldn't imagine what he would do if anything happened to her that day.
Emma had just woken up and was clueless about the situation. She asked anxiously, “Where's Lane? How's
she?”
She remembered that at the critical moment in the end, Lane had risked her life to keep Emma safe,
Emma's heart was beating wildly. She hoped to get a reassuring answer from Liam.
However, the man only looked at her silently.
His silence said everything.
Tears brimmed in Emma’s eyes, threatening to spill. Even her voice began to tremble. “She”
“She’s not dead,” Liam comforted her when he saw that she was about to cry. “She’s still being resuscitated.
Emma finally couldn't hold back, and tears dripped onto the white bedspread.
Lane was still being resuscitated, which meant she was still in a critical condition.
The atmosphere was a little heavy.
Liam said gently, “Don’t worry. She'll be fine. I'll arrange the best doctors for her. You get srest, okay?”
When he said the last word, his voice was so gentle, entirely different from the commanding man he usually was.
Erina bit her lip and nodded while enduring her grief.
After Liam comforted her, he walked into the corridor alone.

Liam looked at him and asked, “How long before Lawson arrives
Levi replied seriously, “I just confirmed over the phone. He's only a block away now. Should be here in about 10
minutes”
Liam nodded.
Lawson was a world-renowned neurosurgeon.
The car accident had damaged Lane's brain nerves.
Even though an operation was a race against time, Liam reckoned they could afford to wait for 10 minutes.
With Lawson performing the surgery, Lane would likely pull through.
