Dorian Howards was montarily stunned, but he quickly took a deep breath to calm his emotions. "What exactly happened?" he turned to Mabel Quinn and asked. Earlier, what she said over the phone wasn’t very clear, only ntioning that Alice fell down the stairs.
"It was Indigo Quigley. She got into an argunt with Alice at the top of the stairs, and she intentionally bumped into Alice, causing her to lose her balance and fall," Mabel explained. "If Kyle hadn’t rushed over to catch her, Alice might really have been lying there injured."
At this mont, Mabel was filled with hatred for Indigo Quigley, for being able to do such a thing.
"Indigo Quigley?" Dorian couldn’t imdiately attach the na to the person.
"She was the woman who, during the press conference, was loudly proclaiming things about Alice when you walked in," Mabel said.
Dorian’s eyes darkened, filled with gloom. So it was that woman. Daring to lay a hand on Alice like that, he definitely wouldn’t let her off.
Three people waited anxiously outside for about half an hour until Alice’s parents rushed over. As soon as her mother saw Mabel, she hurriedly asked, "Mabel, what happened?"
Mabel quickly recounted the events again, and upon learning that her daughter had been deliberately knocked down the stairs, Alice’s mother was filled with rage. If Indigo Quigley were in front of her, she might have torn her apart.
Compared to the indignant Alice’s mother, her father, who ca along, seed relatively quiet. However, at this mont, everyone was focused on Alice, so naturally no one noticed the hint of nervousness and unease emanating from Alice’s father—except Kyle Kinston.
Among these people, his concern for Alice was naturally the least, which made him the most rational. When his sharp eyes once again t the sidelong glance from Alice’s father, he couldn’t help but squint slightly. Alice’s father, as if frightened by sothing, beca extrely stiff.
"What’s wrong with you?" Alice’s mother asked beside him.
"Noth... nothing. I’m just worried about Alice," Alice’s father quickly replied. After so hesitation, he turned to Kyle Kinston and said, "Mr. Kinston, thank you for saving Alice today. Well... you’re a busy person, you can leave if you want. We’ll handle the paperwork for our daughter."
Kyle glanced at Mabel, who was standing to the side, then said, "There’s no rush." From her expression, it was clear she wanted to wait until Alice was out before leaving.
Mabel also said to Alice’s father, "Uncle, let’s wait until Alice cos out and assess her condition before making any decisions."
Alice’s father nodded stiffly and said no more. As for Dorian Howards, Alice’s parents had ignored him from the beginning to the end.
At this mont, Dorian’s mind was completely on Alice, with his eyes glued to the Ergency Room. Everything else around him seed unimportant.
About an hour later, the doctor and nurse finally ca out. "Luckily, she was brought in ti. The baby was saved, but it is still in a critical situation and needs to be hospitalized for a period of observation."
This news, at last, brought a sense of relief. Alice’s parents repeatedly thanked the doctor and nurse, while Dorian bent down in relief, gasping for air, like a taut body that had finally relaxed.
