Drive Me Insane 

William saw that it was Lyle again. 

He picked up and said, “Lyle, what’s up?” 

“Huh? will? Did I call you? I put my phone into my pocket. Must have pressed on the redial button accidentally,” Lyle said. 

“okay,” William replied curtly, ending the call. 

The entire thing had only taken three seconds. When he looked back at Emelle once more, he saw the nurse looking guilty 

Meanwhile, the nurse continued to act like she was helpless when bullied by someone who had power. “We’ll definitely be more careful next time and won’t cause cuckus in public. What can we do to make it up to you, miss?” 

William squeezed Emelie’s hand, indicating for her to let it go. 

Emelie, having vented her anger, turned away. 

Her voice was cold as she said, “just be more mindful in the future. Imagine if you bumped into an elderly person or a pregnant woman, what then? You may gu

The flustered nurses scurried away, muttering amongst themselves. “Seriously? What bad luck, renning into a “princess. She was so dramatic. Must be having a bad day or something.” 

Emelie overheard their conversation. “Hey, you.. 

William, initially amused by the scene, stopped her from going forward. 

“People are starting to stare

, Mrs. Middleton. If you keep yelling, someone might filmit and post it online with a title like “Woman Yells at Nurses in Hospital“. Do you really want that kind of fame?” 

Emelle scoffed. 

William glanced down at her wedding ring. “I thought you would only yell at me, Mrs. Middleton. This is the first time I’ve seen you snap at someone else.” 

Emelie’s eyelids fluttered nervously. She realized she had overplayed her role, so much so that it was a stark contrast to her usual behavior. 

His words hinted that he was suspicious. Her sudden outburst seemed out of character. 

She turned to face him, feigning surprise as if she had just realized she wasn’t herself after hearing his comment. 

“ts that sc?” she asked 

Then, she looked down, her eyelashes casting long shadows on her cheek. It created an illusion of melancholy and despair. 

Ever since William brought her back to Capebatt City from Donla, her mood had taken a nosedive, 

Like a wounded and wary wolf stripped of its protection, she bared her teeth at anyone who dared approach her, especially at him. After all, he was the one who had removed her claws and fangs, and she took every opportunity to bite back 

Now, she looked helpless and tragile. She seemed even more pitiful under the harsh Eights in the hospital. 

Pitiful. It was a word rarely used to describe her. 

William’s voice softened. “What’s wrong?” © - All rights reserved.

Emelie forced a smile. “Do you think I’m becoming less and less like the ‘Ms. Haven‘ you knew? I think so too. Maybe being locked up for so long makes you go crazy for no reason. 

She chucked bitterly. “Do you think one day you’ll truly drive me insane?” 

William tightened his grip on her hand. “No. Once you stop being angry, you’ll be fine” 

Emelie offered no reply, feigning melancholy as she bared her head away. 

But the next second, she saw Lyle out of the corner of her eye. He was leaning against a pillar, his mask pulled down to his chin. 

She was stunned and quickly looked away, worried William would notice him. Her pace quickened as she led William out of the hospital. 

Lyle’s timing with the phone calls to distract William had been perfect. It turned out he was also in the hospital. As he watched the two walk away, his mind raced. 

By pretending not to have seen Emelie hiding the broken ceramic shard, he was covering up for her, but he was clearly betraying William’s trust with his current actions. 

Had he been too easily swayed? How could he simply follow her orders like a loyal dog, responding to a mere wave of her hand? 

But he came to an answer quickly. 

He had dreamed of being with Emelie for a long time, although he knew that it wasn’t possible. How could he have cetused her request, especially with how she looked when she asked? 

Moreover, she only wanted to leave Willam and escape Capebatt City with Greta. She wasn’t asking him to her william, so why couldn’t he help her? 

At worst, after Emelie left, he would confess everything to William. It would be a way of returning his life to William, a life William had saved once before. 

His eyes went downcast, and he pulled his black mask back up. He then slipped out of the hospital through a different exit. 

Meanwhide, Wham and famelie had just walked out of the hospital 

Awakening out from behind them Tola sudden. “Mr.Middleton, Ms. Haven. What a coincidence!”
