Chapter 482 The Whole Family Came

She nodded slightly, leading Hermosa towards the ward. Suddenly, I remembered William and Rachel in the ward. Just as I was about to speak, it was already too late. Emma had already seen the two people talking harmoniously with the old lady in the ward.

This scene, to say it wasn't awkward would be a lie.

Emma saw the two people sitting next to the old lady in the ward, her face slightly darkened, and her steps also stopped. The two people in the ward also saw her.

William hesitated slightly, then abruptly rose from his seat, looking somewhat flustered at Emma, and began to speak, "Emma.....”

Emma's face returned to its usual coldness as she looked at him indifferently, "I heard grandma was hospitalized, so I came to see her."

The old lady had just woken up, presumably still not fully alert, and said to Emma, "Child, you're here, come sit."

Emma forced a smile on her face and spoke stiflly, "No, grandma, as long as you're okay, that's good. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

After speaking, she then left the ward with Hermosa.

She had only taken a few steps when she stopped. It was Hermosa, holding Emma's hand, blinking her big, bright eyes and saying, "Mommy, I want to talk to great-grandma."

Hearing this, Emma hesitated for a few seconds, then still looked at her and nodded, saying, "Hmm, you go ahead, I'll wait for you outside."

Hermosa nodded and entered the ward.

Perhaps feeling guilty, William also came out and looked at Emma, saying, "Emma, can we talk?"

Emma pursed her lips, her complexion not looking very good, and coldly said, "Let's go!"

Then he headed towards the staircase.

Watching the two of them walk away, I couldn't help but sigh slightly. After more than a decade as a married couple, could they really just break up like that? This marriage really seemed ironic. "Let me take you home. Big brother is here, everything is fine," Walter, standing beside me, said.

I shook my head, looking at him and said, "No need, I can go back by myself, you stay and take care of grandma.”

I was about to leave, but he grabbed my wrist. He looked at me, his brows furrowed as he said, "I'll take you home!" His words were firm. I frowned, looking at him in confusion. "Walter, you..."

"You wanted to replace Ezra, didn't you?" He began, his voice somewhat low.

I paused, feeling a bit guilty. He guessed right. At this point, I was really afraid that Ezra, this madman, would do something else irreversible.

I answered immediately, he was gripping me tightly, his expression gloomy and restrained, as if he was about to explode any second.

"Walter. I..."

"Mr. Hinton, Ms. Conner!" The person who came was Marjorie. If she hadn't spoken, neither Walter nor I would have noticed her.

Seeing her, I was taken aback for a moment. I noticed her gaze fall on Walter's hand holding mine, her expression subtly changing, but the smile on her face remained.

I wanted to pull my hand back, but Walter held it tight, my strength was useless.

Upon seeing this, Marjorie didn't say much. She just looked at Walter and laughed, "Mr. Hinton, I heard that Carley was hospitalized. Is she okay? I came to see her." "It's fine!" Walter spoke, his voice cold and indifferent.

Regarding this, Marjorie didn't care at all. She gave a slight smile, nodded at me, and said, "Then I'll go in and see her."

Then he went into the ward.

Seeing her leave, I turned to Walter and said, "Walter, I must go replace Ezra. You know about the incident ten years ago. If he goes crazy and brings it up, the consequences would be unimaginable. Only if I go, I can replace a way to stall him, giving you time to figure out how to deal with him, right?"

This was the only thing we could do at the moment, Walter was well

aware.

He was not a childish man. At this, he pursed his lips, his expression darkening. After a long while, he gently let go of me, looking at me

and saying, "Whatever you want to do, keep in touch with me at all times."

Hearing him say this, I knew, he had agreed.

"Walter!" The old lady's voice came from the ward, not loud, but the corridor was quiet, barely audible.

Walter slightly furrowed his brows, looking at him, I laughed and said, "Go on, go talk to the old lady."

Rachel and Hermosa also came out of the ward. Seeing us, Rachel said to Walter, "Mr. Hinton, Carley asked you to come in."

After speaking, she glanced at me and then left with Hermosa.

Walter looked at me and said, "Tabatha, remember what I told you."

I nodded.

Watching him enter the ward, I then turned and left.

After messing around for most of the day, I had hardly eaten anything. My stomach was empty and I felt a bit uncomfortable. After leaving the hospital elevator, I thought about getting something to eat outside. While pondering, I caught a glimpse of Hermosa on the right side of the hospital's first floor lobby. The little one probably inherited the good genes of the Hinton family. At the age of just over ten, he was almost taller than me.

Seeing her look somewhat flustered, I couldn't help but frown. Wasn't Rachel with her just now? Why was she alone now?

Afraid something might happen, I walked over to Hermosa's side and called out to her, "Hermosa?"

"Ah!"

She was probably too nervous, startled suddenly, and upon recognizing me, her terrified pale face relaxed a bit. Seeing her so flustered, I couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? What happened? Why are you so nervous?"
