Chapter 171:
Yet, what he witnessed now contradicted those rumors.
At that moment, the emergency room door swung open.
The three of them surged forward. “Doctor, how is he?”
The doctor, mopping sweat from his forehead, exhaled deeply. “He's stable for now. You're his family. It's crucial
to be vigilant. Avoid exposing him to severe shocks. He's not young anymore, and such stress is too much for
him. You really should...”
Before the doctor could continue, the elevator at the end of the hall dinged open.
“How’s my grandpa?” Maggie burst out, her voice echoing down the corridor.
The doctor's expression soured at her loud entrance. “Miss, please...”
“Belinda!”
Maggie didn’t wait for the doctor to intervene. Spotting Belinda next to Kristopher, fury ignited in her eyes.
She marched over and slapped Belinda hard across the face.

Before Belinda could respond, Maggie's hand was already sweeping toward her face.
Instinctively, Belinda stepped back, yet it seemed inevitable that the slap would connect.
Just as Maggie's hand neared, someone intercepted it. “Maggie!” Kristopher’s voice was sharp with rebuke.
“What are you doing?” he demanded.
In that moment, Allen moved swiftly to shield Belinda, positioning her behind him. “Miss Cox!” he called out
protectively.
Maggie, who had harbored feelings for Allen since childhood and had pursued him relentlessly five years earlier,
was infuriated to see him defending Belinda.

As she raised her hand again in anger, her brother caught her wrist, further fueling her rage. “I'll kill her! I've
seen everything online! Her miscarriage was no accident. She wanted to terminate the pregnancy because that
child wasn’t yours!” she spat out the words, her anger palpable.
As she glared at Kristopher, she challenged him, “Kristopher, doesn’t this enrage you? This bitch cheated on
you!”
Kristopher, flustered but firm, countered, “She... She didn’t! Those are just rumors, and the baby was indeed
mine!”
Maggie was left in shock.
Her anger surged again after a moment. “Kristopher, how can you still defend her? Look at what she’s done! If
she really was pregnant with your child, why would she choose to abort it? Everyone knows she’s so devoted to
you that she barely respects herself. Why would she end the pregnancy?”
With those words, she whirled around, her gaze cutting through Allen, who stood before Belinda, and fixed
Belinda with a piercing stare. “You traitor, you betrayed my brother. Ill hire the top lawyer in town, and you'll
walk away with nothing!”
Her voice grew louder with each word she spat out.
“Mr. Cox!”
Suddenly, a nurse's urgent shout broke through from the resuscitation room. “We need oxygen, now!”
