Chapter 167

Author: Summer Blossom
"Even though you're divorced, Edward still went public with the marriage. He's made you a target, and I doubt he's going to stop there. If it really comes to that, I'll help you find a lawyer," Julian texted Macie.

Macie glanced at the message and responded with a quick thank you. She could sense an impending storm brewing. She really did need to prepare for the worst. Edward had already made a move on Brightech Studios and still wouldn't let her go.

She had originally wanted to protect the Fowler family's reputation and never meant to stir things up like this. But now, Edward had backed her into a corner.

Thinking of Edward's power and influence, Macie clenched her fists, a flash of resolve in her eyes. She was determined to see it through no matter how challenging the fight was. Since she had left Edward, there was no going back.

…

That evening, at the end of the workday, a Ferrari was parked by the roadside outside the office building.

In the driver's seat, Alice was touching

    "Macie, you don't have to worry about your safety anymore. I'm sure you'll be discharged soon," Yosef said warmly. "All of these medical supplies were flown in from overseas by the Hales. Each shot costs hundreds of thousands of dollars and is powerful enough to pull someone back from the brink of death."Relieved that Macie was out of danger, Yosef looked genuinely happy. Macie turned her head and silently looked at the IV needle taped to the back of her hand. Alice, listening to every word beside them, grumbled inwardly, "The old guard still packs the most punch. No one could top his way with words."Yosef had begun by tugging at Macie's heartstrings, bringing up her college days to lower her guard. Then he slipped in how much effort and money the Hales had spent rescuing her, even tossing Edward's name in for good measure, just to make her feel grateful.Alice was almost certain that the Hales had sent Yosef to talk Macie around.After chatting and checking on Macie, the elder

    Alice whipped her head around and asked, "May, who are you texting so secretively?"Startled, Macie blurted out, "No one!""So, you're keeping secrets from me now?" Alice huffed.Looking at her, Macie wasn't sure how to explain herself, as Diana had repeatedly told her not to tell Alice anything."Forget it. Everyone has their own secrets, even the best of friends. So long as you're not texting Edward, I don't mind. If you are, I swear I'll blow a fuse," Alice said. "Of course I'm not texting Edward. I've blocked and deleted his number ages ago," Macie reassured her.Alice appeared pleased and was about to take a seat when the door swung open. When she looked over and noticed who it was, she immediately shot up to her feet, feeling a little awkward. It was Yosef. She hoped that he hadn't overheard what she had just said."I heard you're doing better today, so I thought I'd drop by this afternoon to look at you." Yosef smiled at Macie. "Thank you for coming." Macie was about

    After hearing that, Elias stared at Macie on the hospital bed, dumbfounded.Without meeting his gaze, Macie lowered her gaze and added, "I used the dividends from Brightech Studios these past two years to buy a small house. So, please stop targeting Julian. He's a good man."Elias pursed his lips and fell silent. Then, he turned to look at Julian, who was still standing outside the ward. "Why didn't you explain yourself then? You clearly had the chance yesterday," he questioned.Elias wondered if Macie was covering for this man, or… "Macie didn't want Edward to know, so I kept it to myself," Julian answered. "Besides, I'm grateful to her. Had she not secured Mr. Fowler Senior's investment at the time, Brightech Studios wouldn't have taken off that swiftly."Elias went quiet once again. After a few seconds, he looked back at the young woman on the hospital bed and said, "Get some rest. I'll catch Sharon and the other criminals and leave them breathing so you can deal with them lat

    Elias didn't bother arguing with Alice. He sidestepped her and walked out the door with Julian in tow.Macie, who was on the hospital bed behind them, watched Julian stumble as Elias dragged him by the collar and cried out, "Stop right there!"Illness had left her too weak for words, and though she summoned every bit of her strength, her voice was only a thin, rasping whisper. Weak as it was, her voice cut through the room and made Elias halt in his steps. "Let go of Julian," she added, clutching the thin blanket tightly. Elias spun around to look at her. Macie held his gaze, calm and unfeeling."You have no right to lay a hand on my friend," she said, her expression dark and distant. Elias flinched at the look in her eyes. Pain shot through his chest, and he slowly released his grip. Macie was right—he had no right, not when she still refused to acknowledge him as her older brother.After being released, Julian straightened his tie and said tactfully, "Rest well, Macie. I'

    Macie, who was lying on the hospital bed, pressed her lips together when she heard that. She, too, thought that the Hales were overstepping.Julian sat beside her bed and updated her on the company's latest developments."Julian, could you ask Mr. Stellan for an extended leave on my behalf? I left my phone at home and can't reach him," Macie requested.He responded, "Sure. Don't worry about work. Focus on getting better first."While they were chatting, Sean walked in, carrying breakfast. "I personally bought this. Even Alice doesn't get this kind of treatment," he said as he set the food on the side table."Thank you—" Macie started."I don't need you to thank me. I merely want you to eat a little since I made the trip," he cut her off, opening the container.Alice took the oatmeal and fed Macie, while Sean adjusted the bed's headrest to a comfortable height. Edmund and Mira, who were outside in the ward, felt a mix of relief, happiness, and deep sadness when they noticed Mac

    Macie turned to the window, caught a glimpse of Edmund and Mira, and apathetically looked away before telling Alice, "Can you tell whoever's blocking the door that I want to see Julian?"Alice immediately left the ward to speak with Edmund and Mira, who were gazing at Macie. The middle-aged couple was aware of what Julian had done and the reason Elias had forbidden him from visiting Macie, so neither of them said a single word."Julian is May's friend, Mr. and Mrs. Hale. After she left the Fowler residence, she even joined his company. He has always looked out for her at work, so I don't think you should stop her from seeing him."After hearing that, Edmund responded, "She's not feeling well right now. Maybe another time.""Don't you think that she would have an issue with you for stopping Julian from coming up and deciding everything on her behalf, while also attempting to control who she can see?" Alice questioned. "May barely has any friends. It's pretty much just me and Julian,
