Chapter 140: Surprised, or Not?
Even after taking a beating. Marcus didn’t leave the hospital. He stood straight at the entrance, more cititul than the doorman
Hector had no idea how to talk him out of it anymore.
He hadn’t slept a wink all night, sticking with Mareas through the whole ordeal. His dark circles were getting pretty bail, and he looked like he wan
about to collapse
As if he stood still for one more second, he’d fall asleep on the spot
Marcus wasn’t much better oft, either
After getting stuffed into a sack and beaten up last night, his face was a mess of bruises and curs
As he stood there at the door, he swayed back and forth like he might pass out any second
Hector was seriously concrmed he might drop.
Hector regretted going to grab food last night.
If he hadn’t left. Mars might not have ended up in this mess.
Unfortunately, the investigation didn’t run up much. The security cameras, guards, even the staff–they were property, so they couldn’t look into anything on their own
It meant if Marcus didn’t report it to the cops, the people who hurt him might never
get cigla.
But Marcus didn’t want to waste any time with the polace. He just wanted to see Gemma as soon as possible.
Hector sighed. What could he do anyway? He was just an employer.
“Mr. Wilson, standing around here isn’t going to help. The security clearly didn’t so us any favors.
Minus wiped the cold sweat off has forehead.
the Raven family’s private
Last night, he was waiting here just fine when suddenly the lights went out and before he knew it, he was thrown in a sack.
He didn’t feel much pain at first, so he didn’t bother going to the hospital.
But this morning, his whole body ached like he’d been sliced open with a knife.
It was almost impossible to stand up straight.
“Mr Wilson, you should really go to the hospital and get
checked out.”
“I contact Raven’s people. Don’t let yourself pass out before you see Gemana,”
Marcus hung his head, sweat depping down his face.
Gemma was hurl
She needed him, and if he could give her the kind of care she’d given him in the past, maybe just maybe they could still work things out. But taking care of someone required energy, and right now, he looked like he’d collapse at any moment
If Gemina saw him like this, she’d be heartbroken
“Let’s go to the hospital”
Hector was relieved and quickly helped Marcus into the car.
Just as the engine roared to life, a sleek black Rolls–Royce Phantom rolled past, brushing by them in the parking lat.
Hector commented.
“I didn’t expect people working at Raven’s hospital could afford cars like that.”
A car like that wasn’t something you could just buy if you wanted.
Marcin didn’t pay it much attention. He pressed has hand to his forehead, closed his eyes, and tried to relax.
He had to get himself together and be at his best when he saw Gemina.
Gemma didnt notice the car, her eyes scanning the peaceful surroundings of the hospital
The lush greenery and clean air made it a perfect place for recovery.
Her phone rang, and Noah’s tear streaked face appeared on the video call.
His eyes were red, his luule face a mess of tears.
“Gemnu, are you really okay!”
His sobs broke her heart, and the tears kept streaming down his face.
Noah had been with the nanny yesterday. He’d beloved himself, thinking Gemma was tiny, so he didn’t discipher
Chapter 140 Surprised, or Not?
But when he woke up and saw the news, it was like his world collapsed
His illness flared up, and he went into a full–on panic.
He smashed around him.
Even the dog. Tommy, had tried to stop him, but got punched in the pr
Multiple therapists had come over, but nothing seemed to help

It wasn’t until the nanny mentioned the news that they realized what triggered it.
Then, it was the video cal
The late cupcake cried out loud
His voice quivered as he cried, “I’m really scared. Gemma. Please tell me you’re okay.”
His late fee was blurry through the screen, his sobs almost 100 much to bear
“Don’t worry, Noah. Im fine. I’ll be back soon to play with you, okay?”
Nosh’s crying didn’t stop.
“Did you get hun!”
Genumashook her head. “Of course not
Noah sniffled, clearly not buying it. “You’re just saying that to make me feel better,”
Gemma chuckled softly. “Im not lying to you. Noah.”
“No one believes me because I’m just a kich”
Gemma paused, trying not to let the tears well up in her own eyes.
The little guy was really breaking her heart.
“Alright, how about this! I’ll have Brooke come pick you up so we can spend the day together. How’s that sound?”
Gemma had asked for a whole week leave to pretend to be ill. William’s thing was over, and soon she could take Noah to the amusement park. –
Noah wiped his nose, still unsure. “Really?”
“More real than real gold.”
“Well, if you say
With that, he reluctantly ended the call.
Cassius, who’d been quietly listening, spoke up. He’s doing that on purpose.“.
Gemma smiled softly, her fingers tracing the edge of her phone. “It’s okay. His little tricks are his way of getting closer to me.”
She paused, her smile fading a little.
“The thing is, it’s not really the kid’s fault it’s the adults who don’t appreciate what they have.”
She’d always tried to give Alijah the love he needed, hoping for that close mother–child band.
But from the moment Margaret took him, everything changed.
Despite her efforts, despite swallowing her pride and making sacrifices, Alijah just couldn’t connect with her.
If Ali had done something like that, she would’ve been over the moon.
Alajah always thought she’s not good enough, not as good as another “mom.”
She shook her head, fighting the sting of old wounds. “Anyway, just an example.”
Cassius looked away, his eyes narrowing.
“I have Brooke go pick him up.”.
Shawn, who’d been driving, shot a look
Brooke ed to handle all the big stuff for Cass.
Now with Geinma bere,
it’s like he’s got an easy job.
The three of them arrived at the hospital not long after
As they reached the surgery flour, they could hear Pamela’s voice, choked with panic.
“Oh, Good, please!
Fll be a vegan and never kill for the rest of my life.
Please let my son be okay “

now you’re gonna go vegetarian

Gemma’s lips twisted into a cold smile.
Typical
She never believed in anything good until it was too late.
shawn, hearing her, couldn’t help but laugh out loud. “Oh, wow, Madame, you’ve eaten so much snake me
Do you even believe in this study”
Pamela didn’t notice them at first, too busy praying
But when Slawn spoke, she whipped around in shock, only to see Gemma standing not far away.
Her face drained of color.
“Y–You’re not dead“”
Her hands shook, but they couldn’t move.
Derick and the others nished over
“What happened”
Derick frowned, following her gaze to Gemma
Gemma, standing in the Light, looked perfectly fine in a white shirt and black pants
Immediately, he figured out Gemma and Cassius‘ plan,
His expression twisted instantly, and Gemma could see the fury flach in his eyest
