Chapter 243 As Crazy as You (1/2)

Jack slowly took his foot off of Andrew's hands, reluctantly, while he gritted his teeth in disbelief and anger. His glare sucked the life out of Debby. Almost spitting in disgust, he said to her, ”Father? Do you think this man deserves to be anyone's father?

Do you think any child deserves to have parents like you?”

This wasn't the first time someone had asked Debby and Andrew this question, but as shameless as they were, the couple never took such comments seriously enough to reflect on it. They arrogantly assumed that they were great parents. After all, they provided Emily with a home and proper education. Was that not enough?

Blinded by their ignorance, they prided themselves in being great parents to Emily! Though their conjecture was far from the reaches of truth and reality. The fact that they wanted to cut ties with Emily, was incredibly ironic, because it was Emily who should have cut ties with them a long time ago. She did not deserve such preposterous parents!

The doctor rushed into the ward, as soon as he heard the bell ring. ”What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the patient?” he asked and looked at Jack with concern.

”She was injected with some kind of unknown liquid!” answered Jack. Jack took his eyes off Andrew and rushed towards Emily. He picked up the perfusion tube from the floor and pointed it to the doctor, ”I'm not sure whether the liquid has been pumped into her system or not, but there might be some residue in this tube. Please have it checked now!”

The doctor took the tube and arranged for a full physical examination for Emily at once.

Meanwhile, Debby and Andrew took this opportunity to abscond with the needle and disappear from the crime scene.

Concerned for Emily's safety, Jack decided not to go after them, and stay back just to make sure that Emily was not in danger. Catching the Bai perpetrators wasn't his priority, Emily was... As for Debby and Andrew, Jack decided to tell Emily the whole truth once she had regained consciousness.

After a few dreadful hours, the doctor approached Jack with Emily's test results.

”Good news! There is nothing wrong with the patient. Maybe it's because you pulled out the tube just in time, so the toxic liquid was not successfully injected into her bloodstream. We tested the residue we found in the tube, and it showed traces of highly addictive drugs that may have been fatal due to the patient's already weakened state,” the doctor laid it all out to Jack.
