Ethan Hopkins, wincing in pain, was filled with regret for his impulsive actions.

He was sure that if he didn’t perform well this time, Nicholas would never help him again.

“Second brother, I was wrong. I really was.” Ethan Hopkins’ handsome face was full of fear. “It was an accident, really, just an accident. I was too worried about Gabriel. You saw what happened just now, how upset Gabriel was. If anything happened to her, I wouldn’t want to live either.”

“Do you not want to live, or do you not want Ivy to live?” Nicholas Thompson’s voice was faint, like a voice coming from far away.

Ethan Hopkins felt a jolt in his heart.

Every word Nicholas said was pointed at him.

Ethan Hopkins, nervous to the point of beet-red face and thick neck, stammered, “I… how could I dare not to let her live? I was just impulsive in the moment. I am a person with a brain, how could I possibly kill someone in front of so many people? I was really just impulsive then…”

Ethan Hopkins’ hand ached so much that his whole body shivered.

He really wanted Nicholas to hurry up and take him to the hospital, but he endured the pain and didn’t dare to say another word.

“I’ve dealt with a lot of cases, many murderers killed in the heat of the moment.” Nicholas Thompson’s tone was cold.

Ethan Hopkins’ face gradually turned pale.

Now, he could say that he hated Gillian Thompson to the bones.

If it wasn’t for Gillian doing such a stupid thing, he wouldn’t have lost control and messed things up.

“Second brother, actually you were pretty angry just now too, right? Molly Walker had someone use an anaesthesia needle on Gillian. Although this saved Gillian, it might hurt the baby. Isn’t this pushing Gillian towards death? I think as the baby’s father, it’s quite normal for me to be impulsive. Should I just watch as my wife and child are bullied?” Ethan Hopkins was testing the waters carefully.

As expected, upon hearing this, Nicholas Thompson’s expression finally softened slightly.

On the matter of the sudden appearance of the SWAT team, Nicholas Thompson thought the same as him and suspected that Molly Walker was the culprit.

However, just as Ethan Hopkins was about to be reassured, Nicholas Thompson had already raised his hand and grabbed him by the throat.

Ethan Hopkins’ eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at Nicholas Thompson.

Nicholas Thompson’s face turned suddenly cold, his grip on Ethan’s throat tightening.

Ethan Hopkins’ hands had already been twisted by Michael Gallagher, leaving him without any strength to fight back.

Just as Ethan Hopkins’ face was turning red and he was about to suffocate, Nicholas Thompson finally let go of his hand.

Ethan Hopkins gasped for breath, trying to ease the suffocating feeling in his lungs.

“Remember, don’t hurt my family.” Nicholas Thompson glanced at him with a stern warning, a terrifying aggression in his eyes.

Gillian Thompson too, was his family.

Thinking of Liliana Leaford, Ethan Hopkins’ heart contracted violently.

“The thing with Liliana Leaford, you can lie to Gillian, but your tricks won’t fool me.”

Nicholas Thompson completely extinguished the small spark of hope in Ethan Hopkins’ heart.

Ethan Hopkins managed a weak smile. It is true that he was protecting Gillian, but that was because he was Gillian’s brother.

But him, after all, was just an outsider. Why would Nicholas Thompson protect him?

Regarding Liliana Leaford, Nicholas Thompson ultimately didn’t believe him.

Ethan Hopkins awkwardly stammered, “Actually, there’s really no connection between Liliana Leaford and me…”

“No matter what relationship you had before, you cannot have any relations in the future. Also, settle your matters with Gillian as soon as possible.” After issuing his warning, Nicholas Thompson left without looking back.

Ethan Hopkins couldn’t move his hand and he finally had to ask passersby for help to get him to the hospital.

Just as the doctor had plastered his hand and brought him into the room, Ethan Hopkins shuddered, yelling at the doctor, “Doctor, I want to change rooms, no, I want to go back, take me back quickly!”

In the hospital room stood Joshua Thompson and Damian Thompson, along with several masked men.

These men were recognised by Ethan Hopkins as Molly Walker’s subordinates.

The moment these men saw him come in, they watched him like a tiger watching its prey.

Ethan Hopkins could guarantee that the moment the doctor leaves, these men are definitely going to beat him to death.

Ethan Hopkins regretted it!

He forgot how many men were behind Molly Walker. She not only had three brothers but also a bunch of subordinates. Any of these people could make others shudder with fear,

He shouldn’t have provoked Molly Walker. Even if he were as brave as a bear or a leopard, he shouldn’t have provoked a woman with a group of men behind her!

The doctor looked doubtfully at Ethan Hopkins, who was so afraid of the people in the room. “Who are you to the patient?” he asked.

“He’s our brother-in-law.” Joshua Thompson’s smile was somewhat chilling. “We’re all his wife’s brothers. Isn’t that right, Ethan Hopkins? Gabriel’s brother is your brother-in-law, that’s not too much, is it?”

Brother-in-law…

Technically it was true, but…

Ethan Hopkins bit his lower lip and told the doctor, “Doctor, could you please call the police? These people might do something to me…”

Before he could finish his sentence, Joshua Thompson’s hand covered his mouth. Joshua smiled at the doctor and said, “Don’t worry, doctor, this is a hospital, we won’t do anything reckless.”

The doctor looked at them, his gaze falling on another man with glasses, who was smiling.

He seemed familiar, as if he’d seen him in a mobile phone interview.

Just by their clothes, he could tell these were not people he could afford to offend.

He knew why Ethan Hopkins was in the hospital, as his primary doctor, of course.

All of this was Ethan Hopkins’s own doing.

A grown man choking a woman in the street; he detested such lawless behavior.

He’d seen the woman who was choked, her neck swollen and red, her beautiful face slightly deformed.

If they hadn’t managed to save her in time, she might have been left with complications.

“Take it easy.”

The doctor said with a slight smile, turned around and left, even closing the door behind him.

Soon, screams came from a certain hospital room in Sunnydale City Hospital, but since it was a hospital, it didn’t raise much attention.

Isn’t a bit of screaming in a hospital perfectly normal…?

…

Gillian Thompson was woken by the screams.

“I think I heard Ethan’s voice…” Gillian awoke and sat up right away. “Why am I here? Did I end up jumping?”

Or did she die?

She clearly remembered standing on the rooftop, then the man in a police uniform came over, slowly got closer to her, and then… she lost consciousness.

So in the end… did she jump or faint?

Just as Gillian was puzzled, a voice interrupted her thoughts.

“You were saved by the police, they injected you with an anesthetic.” The nurse came to her side to change her medicine, her face full of disgust.

Anyone could see that Gillian had no intentions of jumping off the building.

This kind of behavior that wasted life and resources, any normal person would despise.

Upon hearing that she was still alive, Gillian relaxed, but soon became alarmed again at the word “anesthetic.”

“Anesthetic… what do you mean? Was I saved by the police injecting me with an anesthetic?” Gillian cried out, “Why? What were the police doing up there? My baby, my baby!!”

Gillian cried in fear, “What should I do? The baby, nurse, will my baby be affected? The anesthetic now, will it affect the baby’s development?”

Her baby was so young, and the professional anesthesia of the police, how harmful that must be to the baby!

Gillian was both anxious and scared, but the nurse was extremely calm, frowned and said coldly, “You’re afraid now? When you were going to jump off the building with your baby, did you think about it?”

The nurse’s words left Gillian speechless.

“Only now do you think it’s harmful to the baby? It’s too late!”
