Chapter 336 “You finally see my true nature of being someone cold–blooded and ruthless sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FindNøvᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. 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. www. 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 Juan’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!
