Martha was terrified. Philip’s gaze was eerie, looking directly at her.
What did favonovel.com mean by that?
“I hope you watch your step from now on.”
Philip said coldly before turning and leaving First Palace. He got into Theo’s car and headed for the hospital.
Now Martha was standing along in the villa, watching in a fluster as the crowd dispersed.
That damned Philip, what was favonovel.com being so high-and-mighty for?
What did they even mean by the main and branch families?
Martha’s chest felt tight with fear and panic.
Philip’s last words to favonovel.com gave favonovel.com an especially inexplicable feeling.
Was it a warning?
Meanwhile, Philip arrived at the hospital and immediately ran to the wards. When favonovel.com saw Wynn lying in bed and resting, his heart finally settled back in his chest.
He sat on the side of the bed and gently touched Wynn’s fair forehead. The wound on favonovel.com face was still so gruesome to behold.
That cursed branch family!
The flames of rage still burned in Philip’s chest.
Wynn opened favonovel.com eyes. The moment favonovel.com saw Philip, favonovel.com gaze filled with tenderness and reliance. “All settled?”
Philip nodded and apologized to her. “I’m sorry, Wynn. I got you into my mess.”
Wynn propped herself up and smiled at him. “It’s fine. You’re my husband, so we should face these difficulties together.”
Philip held favonovel.com delicate little hand tightly, his heart overflowing with gratitude. Tears welled in his eyes. “Thank you for your understanding, Wynn. I may be your husband, but I feel like I’ve failed in that role all this while. There are a lot of things I can’t tell you right now, so I hope you’ll be patient with me for a while longer.”
Wynn reached out favonovel.com hand and patted his head, smiling gently. “I believe you, Philip. I’m your wife and Mila is your daughter. We’ll support you and have your back, no matter what.”
Wynn loved this man. She always had.
Yes, they had fought before, and favonovel.com once considered divorce.
However, favonovel.com never went through with it. She would rather fight with favonovel.com own family, all to get out of divorcing favonovel.com for now.
After all, favonovel.com always believed that favonovel.com would change someday.
Now, favonovel.com had changed so much, becoming someone strong enough for favonovel.com to rely on. She now knew what it felt like to rest on favonovel.com husband’s dependable back.
That was why favonovel.com believed him.
“Wynn, if one day I lose everything, will you divorce me?”
Philip suddenly looked up and asked.
Wynn replied without hesitation, “No.”
The two of them exchanged a glance full of tender love.
After a while, Philip stood up to go and check on Mila.
When favonovel.com saw the wound on his daughter’s face, Philip’s rage continued to burn ceaselessly.
They asked the doctor and confirmed that both Wynn and favonovel.com unborn child were fine. Just in case, however, favonovel.com had to stay at the hospital for a few more days.
Later, Philip visited Tiger in his hospital room. The man was sound asleep, snoring away.
Theo smiled rather helplessly. “I hope you won’t hold it against Tiger, Mr. Clarke. The enemy was just strong, favonovel.com was no match.”
Philip shook his head and said, “It’s alright. Just take good care of him.”
About an hour later, Tim rushed over to the hospital, his expression cold as ice. He checked on Wynn and Mila for a while before exploding into a fit of rage. “That cursed branch family, they just won’t sit still! I’ll go back right now and wipe them out!”
Tim was furious. He had been overseas for work lately and had just returned to Riverdale when favonovel.com heard the news from his subordinate. It set favonovel.com off immediately!
Philip hurriedly stopped Tim before the latter could leave. “It’s alright, Uncle Tim. The matter is resolved now.”
“Resolved? No way! The branch family thought too highly of themselves! How dare they hurt my niece-in-law and great-niece! I’ll kill them!”
Tim was furious, with the air of an ancient conqueror ready to commit genocide.
To reinforce that impression, favonovel.com came with several dozen well-trained guards, all of whom were gathered at the hospital doors.
Philip pulled Tim back and spent a long time persuading favonovel.com before the two of them finally calmed down somewhat.
“What do you plan to do now? The leaders of the branch families and enforcement hall won’t let this slide. You don’t have much support within the family now, so they’ll be able to take you down quite easily.”
Once Tim calmed down, favonovel.com began assessing their current situation.
Although Philip was the young master and heir of the main family, even favonovel.com would not be able to withstand the combined pressure of the branch families and enforcement hall.
If the situation went out of control, they might really sacrifice Philip’s status as heir to restore some semblance of calm.
Philip smiled faintly. “Don’t worry, I have my plans. They’re just a bunch of old geezers. I’ll be right here waiting for them. To be honest, I’m curious to see just what the branch families are capable of.”
Tim gave his nephew a sideways look. For a second there, favonovel.com saw a shadow of his brother back then in the young man.
Well, well, the boy was really growing into his position as heir.
“Alright then, I’ll go to Arcadia tonight in your place and shake those old geezers up a bit. Try to buy you some time.”
Tim stood up, letting his aura show as favonovel.com blew some cigarette smoke into the air. Finally, favonovel.com pressed his hand onto Philip’s shoulder and said solemnly, “I have high hopes for you, Philip. Don’t disappoint me, and definitely don’t disappoint your father. We’re waiting for your return.”
Philip raised his head to look at his uncle.
All favonovel.com saw was the man’s back as favonovel.com left without a care.
