The Second Love

Chapter 328 Birds Of A Feather

Dominic Hartnell trembled and immediately grabbed my hand, pleading, "Darling, please have mercy!" I was furious, my chest heaving violently, and I angrily exclaimed, "Have mercy? Look at what you guys have done." "Shannon was dumbfounded just now, and I ended up becoming an accomplice because of you!" After cursing Dominic Hartnell, I still felt unsatisfied and turned my head to glare at Li Zhaoyang, who stood silently beside me. Continuing my tirade, I said, "Birds of a feather!" As soon as I finished speaking, James Dalton, full of insolence and mockery, suddenly spoke behind me. "What do you mean by 'birds of a feather'?" "What are all of you doing here? What about Benjamin Chance? Did you go see him?""Didn't they say Benjamin Chance got beaten up? Where is he? I even abandoned a beauty just to come and see his sorry state." I was already angry, and without thinking, I turned around and started cursing James Dalton without restraint. "You, him, him, and Benjamin Chance, all of you are birds of a feather! None of you are good people!" "If you can't bear to leave the beauty, then why did you come? Go back and embrace your beauty!" "I'm telling you, if Shannon does anything foolish, I'll make sure all of you pay! Especially you! Hmph!" After cursing James Dalton, I finally directed my anger towards Dominic Hartnell. What made me the most angry was that he joined in their mischief and deliberately sent me a WeChat message to deceive me, using me to bring Shannon over. Dominic Hartnell awkwardly touched his nose and remained silent.Li Zhaoyang stood beside him, holding back and not daring to respond. James Dalton, on the other hand, was somewhat confused by my scolding, and his face instantly darkened. I noticed his mouth moving, as if he was about to say something, but Li Zhaoyang quickly grabbed him to stop him. After venting at these three men, I finally felt a bit relieved in my heart and shifted my attention back to the ward. Although Shannon told me to leave, I couldn't rest assured. I decided to wait a little longer. If something was amiss inside, I could still lend a hand. I couldn't let Shannon stay here alone without any support. But I had been eavesdropping at the door for quite a while and didn't hear anything. It felt as if no one was speaking inside. It was Li Zhaoyang and James Dalton who kept whispering like mosquitoes, very annoying. I was so anxious that I sweated, and standing for a long time made my waist and abdomen feel a little sore. "Wife..." When I heard Dominic Hartnell calling me, I didn't even turn my head and replied stiffly, "What?" "You've been standing for so long, your waist must be tired. Let's go sit down for a while. Don't worry, Ziyang won't bully Shannon Harper." I snorted heavily without a good temper and didn't respond. But I was really tired, and my waist was sore and swollen. I sighed secretly at the door of the ward, but in the end, I couldn't hold on and turned around. Dominic Hartnell quickly supported my arm and led me to sit on a bench. "Wife, are you thirsty? Shall I go buy you some milk to drink?" I moved my mouth. After cursing for so long, I did feel a little thirsty, so I nodded. At this moment, James Dalton and Li Zhaoyang stood up straight like springs and eagerly said, "We'll go, we'll go. Han, you stay here and accompany your sister-in-law." "Milk, right? Pure or what? Sister-in-law, you tell us which one you want to drink." Dominic Hartnell answered, "Pure milk." After getting the answer, James Dalton and Li Zhaoyang left as fast as rabbits. There was still no movement in the ward, and only Dominic Hartnell and I were left in the corridor. Suddenly, it became quiet around us. Dominic Hartnell grabbed my hand tightly, but I couldn't pull it out even after trying twice. "Wife, I'm sorry. We just wanted to test Shannon Harper's feelings for Ziyang."Hearing Dominic Hartnell apologize and explain, I still felt angry and couldn't hide my anger as I asked, "Now that you've tested it, are you satisfied?" "I just don't understand why we can't communicate properly in a normal way. Why do we have to resort to these tricks?" "Shannon cried so sadly just now. I've known her for so long, but I've never seen her cry like this. You guys... are really going too far!" Dominic Hartnell leaned closer and gently kissed my cheek, apologizing again, "I'm sorry, wife." I pushed him away and replied in a not-so-good tone, "What's the use of apologizing? It's already like this, and why apologize to me? You should apologize to Shannon." "They've been in there for so long, I don't know what they're talking about. I'm just worried that Shannon won't understand and will stubbornly stick to her own ideas in the future." "There's more!" I couldn't help but get a little heated and grabbed his waist, scolding him, "Who was it that said they would stand by my side without any limits or boundaries?" "And what's the result, hm?" Dominic Hartnell pulled me into his arms, assuming a guilty and repentant posture, with a super friendly attitude. Although I still had some lingering anger, Dominic Hartnell kept pestering me and trying to please me, and I couldn't hold back anymore. Just as I was about to scold him again, there was no movement for a long time, but the closed door of the hospital room suddenly opened from the inside. My attention was immediately drawn to it. I saw Shannon with red eyes and a worried expression walking out, while Benjamin Chance sat in a wheelchair just a little over a meter away from the door. Ignoring my sore waist, I pushed Dominic Hartnell aside and walked towards her. "Shannon, are you okay?" I held her hand and asked softly. But she didn't answer me, just let me hold her hand and stood there motionless. I glanced at Benjamin Chance behind her, then shifted my gaze back and continued asking, "Have you two made up?" However, Shannon still didn't respond. I tightened my grip on her hand and apologized, "Shannon, I'm sorry. I didn't know they would deceive you by using me. Don't be mad at me." At this point, Dominic Hartnell interjected, saying quite cheekily, "It has nothing to do with Lili. If you're not happy, take it out on me. Ziyang is really badly injured." Despite me previously scolding him mercilessly, seeing him take on everything now made me worry again. If Shannon were truly angry and needed to release her frustration, her fighting skills would be exceptional. In a situation like this, why haven't James Dalton and Li Zhaoyang come back yet? They could have gone all the way to the Pacific Ocean just to buy milk! Once again, I couldn't help but silently curse both of them in my mind.
