Chapter 15
“Priscilla!”
His hand was already swollen high and extremely painful at the moment.
Angelo ignored the heavy rain and ran a few steps to catch up with that figure. The continuous raindrops fell along the umbrella ribs, separating the two people like a gap that could never be crossed again.
“I, I got hurt, can you take me to the hospital?”
He raised his dark purple right hand, trying to soften Priscilla’s heart.
Priscilla’s gaze fell on his hands, without saying a word.
The lights in the emergency room at Radren Central Hospital were glaringly white.
Angelo was lying in the hospital bed with a bandage wrapped around his right hand – that was the injury he got from punching Tyrell.
Priscilla stood by the bed, mechanically flipping through the test reports, her voice calm as if discussing the weather.
“The phalanx has a slight fracture, just rest for two weeks.”
She closed the medical record book and turned to leave, but he grabbed her wrist tightly with his left hand.
“Priscilla,” Angelo’s voice was hoarse, “I just realized… I’ve always loved you, I just didn’t dare to admit it.”
His eyes were red, as if he was about to pour out all the emotions he had suppressed for years.
“Miley was just an obsession, but you… you were the one I was afraid of losing.”
Priscilla looked down at his bulging veins on his hand and suddenly laughed.
“Angelo, your love was really cheap,” she said, prying open his fingers one by one. “For three years you ignored me, until you found out I was Prissie and suddenly ‘loved‘ me?”
The rain outside was getting heavier, making her voice sound particularly clear.
“If I was just Priscilla my whole life, would I never deserve your respect?”
Angelo was struck by lightning, and the blood in the IV tube flowed back halfway due to his violent shaking.
At the corner of the hospital corridor, a man wearing a duckbill cap put down his camera and made a phone call.
“Ms. Garcia, we got evidence that they are getting back together.”
There was the sound of porcelain breaking on the other end of the phone, Miley’s voice twisted with a smile: “Great, tomorrow I want the whole internet to see it-”
Priscilla got back to the law firm in the early morning.
Assistant Vicente rushed over with a tablet in hand: “Priscilla! How is Mr. Haley’s injury? Everyone online is talking about you guys…”
The trending topic was displayed on the screen.
“Angelo got injured while protecting his ex–wife.”
“Prissie stayed up all night.”
The picture is a blurry photo of her holding hands with Angelo by the hospital bed.
The comments section was also buzzing.
“The broken mirror is reunited! Go, Mr. Haley!”
“Prissie obviously cared about him!”
Priscilla sneered and slammed the tablet on the table, “Now he’s learned those dirty tricks too… Contact the PR department, release a statement.” One hour later, the official account of Starlight Law Firm posted a solemn statement.
“Priscilla’s act of sending the patient to the hospital was purely professional, with no personal emotions involved. If there are any more rumors or fabrications, legal action will be taken.”

At the end, there is a complete version of the hospital surveillance footage. It clearly shows her cold expression throughout, and the final decisive action of pulling her hand away.
Netizens, on the other hand, quickly turned against him.
“Is Angelo’s face hurting? He doesn’t even want to talk to you.”
“Professionalism was said to be unfinished business, puked!”
“When someone was willing to cook for you, you ignored them. Now you regret it?”
“Because of their inferiority complex, they look down on girls who are willing to start a family with someone else, and insist on keeping ambitious people at home.”
In the VIP ward, Angelo stared at the statement and read it over and over again. Suddenly, he pulled out the needle and got out of bed.
The assistant hurriedly stopped him, “Mr. Haley! Your hand can’t…”
“Get out of the way!” He ripped open the hospital gown to reveal bandages, his eyes bloodshot as he ran into the rain
The car raced all the way to Priscilla’s apartment building, only to see her walking towards a black car while holding an umbrella.
The young man at the driver’s seat leaned out and took her briefcase with a smile.
That was Radren, the up–and–coming criminal lawyer, who openly admitted to idolizing Prissie.
The rain blurred Angelo’s vision and washed away all his unspoken regrets.
In the dark, the hidden camera once again focused on this scene.
Miley touched the photo she had just received and chuckled lightly on the phone.

“The headline for tomorrow is set – ‘Prissie seamlessly moves on to new love, Angelo left heartbroken‘.”
Her fingers, painted with crimson nail polish, brushed across Angelo’s either… let’s go to hell together…”
