Sweet Twins Indulge in Daddy's Love
Chapter 316 Who Is The Family Member

Although the air condition wrapped the inside of the car with cold air, Charles could still feel the heat of his anger rising. He leaned back his head and rubbed his temple while making sense of the picture he jus

saw.

Even he could not rationalize the strange feeling that hovered his thoughts. How could such an online post send him in utter distraught so easily?

"Hurry up!" he commanded in a thunderous voice, tapping his palm on the dashboard.

"But I'd be going over the speed limit, Mr. Fu!" Although Hiram could see the anxiety eating up his boss, he couldn't risk driving beyond the speed limit; otherwise, the police might run after them.

So at this point, Hiram was faced with a dilemma.

If he were to race on the road, he'd be risking to lose his license. But at the same time, he'd be losing his job if he were to go against Charles' command.

Lucky for Hiram, Charles eventually realized that the former was right. So, he closed his eyes and breathed a deep, heavy sigh to relax his rage.

He just wanted to reach the hospital as soon as possible and check on Nancy. The thought of her and Edward spending such sweet time together wrecked all the remaining sanity in his head. In fact, recalling how he held her in his arms almost made Charles raise hell back in his office had he not calmed himself.

At this moment, the gynecologist performed a general check-up on Nancy, which reported a tear on her lower part that caused a little bleeding.

Outside was Edward, who leaned against the wall with his arms crossed against his chest while waiting for the result.

Suddenly, the door pushed open, revealing the doctor. "Are you the family member? Please come in."

Immediately, Edward straightened up and walked in. "How is Nancy?" he asked anxiously, glancing at Nancy, who still looked so frail and weak.

The gynecologist glued her eyes back and forth the two.

Obviously, the doctor was overthinking and assumed that Edward was probably Nancy's husband.

However, since the latter was still wincing in pain, she couldn't waste her energy explaining and straightening any misconception.

"Director Nancy can't engage in sexual activity for a month!" the doctor suddenly blurted out, eyeing Edward intently. Then, she quickly filled in the medical record and said, "The lower part is a little torn. Director Nancy, remember, be careful! Otherwise, it will affect your fertility!"

In a daze, Nancy could not utter a single word to answer. But in her head, she was already cursing Charles to the pits of hell!

At the same time, a grim shadow cast over Edward's face as soon as he heard the diagnosis. 'It must be that man from last night!' he thought, clenching his fists tightly.

"Did you hear what I said?" the doctor asked coldly, rolling her eyes at Edward, who seemed befuddled and distracted.

"Oh, yes, yes. I heard it," the latter muttered in a low voice, shaking his head slightly and glancing at Nancy.

"Doctor, it has nothing to do with him. He is my brother." This time, Nancy managed to say something amidst her fragile and tender state. And even though the pain was still penetrating her system, she figured the need to clear the situation.

"Director Nancy, as a doctor and a woman, you should know how to protect yourself. How can you allow a man to treat you like this? You shouldn't let him do whatever he wants!" With a hint of resignation in her voice, the doctor could only scold her fellow medical practitioner.

"Well.uhm... I...ah..." Struggling to come up with an explanation, Nancy merely lowered her head in embarrassment. The topic was too private and personal to be discussed in front of Edward. What was more, she was already fuming with so much hatred for Charles that all she wanted to do at that moment was lash out on him.

'That bastard! He'll pay for this!' she cursed in her head while gnashing her teeth and aggressively flaring her nose.

Edward, who was mistaken as her romantic partner, frowned and cast a pair of confused eyes at her.

He had always known Nancy to be a strong and independent woman who would not let others step on her.

So how could she not resist and let that man do this to her?

"I'm fine, Edward," she assured, biting her lips.

"Tell me, that man... Who is he?" Each word he uttered was spitted like fire, evident that he was also raging with so much ire.

"No one... Edward, I'm fine. Don't worry about it!" Nancy immediately dismissed whatever idea was forming in his head. She obviously didn't want to get Edward involved.

Suddenly, the sound of heavy footsteps in the corridor broke the deafening silence that filled the room.

And soon enough, two men barged inside, causing Nancy to raise her head in an alert.

Charles, who stood domineeringly with his usual business suit, stepped in with Hiram tailing behind.

What was he doing here?

The test results had already embarrassed her enough for the day, and now he showed up like some arrogant dictator with his right-hand man.

Everything was too much to take in for Nancy at that moment. Her mind was in a mess, her body was writhing in seething pain, and to top it all off, she had absolutely no idea what Charles was about to do to her.

"Who the hell are you?" Edward broke the tension and immediately questioned the man who just barged in. His sharp gaze pierced through the latter as he shielded Nancy with his body to block Charles' view. "I'm her husband! And who are you?" Charles retorted arrogantly and equaled the harsh glare thrown at him.

"You are not my husband!" Nancy suddenly insisted. How dare he call himself her husband when he was the one who did this to her?!

And more importantly, she was not married to him at all!

The nerve of this man! She'd rather die than suffer for the rest of her life married to him!

The more Nancy thought about it, the sadder and more bereaved she felt.

"We live in the same house, sleep together every day, and look after our kids. If I'm not your husband, then who is? Come on, Nancy! Tell me! Who is your husband if I'm not it?" Charles challenged, evidently aggravated by how the woman defamed his claim as her lover.

However, Nancy didn't care one bit if he was provoked. Instead, she raised her eyebrows at him and mocked, "If you were really my husband-as you claim to be- how would you prove it? Do you have a marriage certificate?"

"If you want, we can go to the Civil Affairs Bureau right now. What do you think?" Charles was well aware that Nancy was mocking him, but he'd never back down from her defiance, not in front of Edward, who had the nerve to touch his wife!

Then, Nancy flashed a smug smile and slowly emphasized, "Charles, listen carefully. I am not your wife, and I don't want to go with you!"

"Don't push your luck, woman!" This time, Charles could not hold back the anger he had been repressing since the moment he left the office. What finally ticked the bomb now was her audacity to quickly refuse and turn him down with disgust.

"I don't care who you are and your relationship with her, but I warn you that Nancy is a patient right now. So you better leave and let her rest!" Sensing how the tension was slowly rising to the roof, Edward suddenly butted in an attempt to protect Nancy.

But the dominant and commanding man that Charles was would never allow someone to order him around. He raised the corner of his mouth into a mocking grin and disdainfully countered, "Well, she is my woman, and I don't need your permission to take her. So, get the hell out of my way!"

"How dare you take Nancy away after hurting her?! I don't care who you are or how powerful your family is! Leave at this instance!" Edward fought back, not planning to yield at any moment.

"If you want to stop me, then let's see how powerful you are!" Slowly, Charles stepped towards him while the smug smile never left his lips. He held his head up high like some arrogant king who was about to command his subjects.

However, Edward didn't flinch or even step back. He was apparently not intimidated by the imperious voice and stature of the man before him.

And in this way, the two engaged in an intense staredown battle while the rest of the people in the room prepared to stop the impending altercation.

"Nancy, say something! This is a hospital, and you know this place prohibits any sorts of fights!" the gynecologist, who was slightly shaking in fear, shouted anxiously.

"Edward, stop!" Nancy had already seen how atrocious Charles could get when provoked. And because she knew Edward was in no way violent like the former, she instinctively protected him. "Charles, stop it! I'll go with you, okay?! Just please leave Edward alone!"

Because of her declaration, Charles snorted proudly and arched his brow at the unyielding Edward.

"What? Nancy, you can't go with him!" Edward suddenly grabbed her arm to stop her while his eyes glared back at Charles.

"Edward, he and I...uhmm... We are a couple, and I'd better go with him" Finally, after heaving a deep breath, Nancy managed to confess.

"He doesn't treat you well. How can you choose him, Nancy?! When did you become so weak? This is not the way I know you!" Edward's face contorted into a frown to showcase how unhappy he was. "Edward, thank you for taking me to the hospital. I really owe you, but I have to go back now. Let's meet again when we have time."

"Nancy, I have reminded you several times to let me know if a guy is hurting you." A mixture of worry and confusion was painted on Edward's face.

He didn't know what happened to her, but his guts told him this woman didn't live a good life. Otherwise, why would she let people, especially this man, hurt her at his will? She didn't deserve it!

"I will protect her with my life, so go and mind your own business. She doesn't need you to worry about her!" Out of jealousy, Charles brushed off Edward's arm that held Nancy.

He clearly saw how the latter looked at her with a pair of loving eyes, and God knew he hated it.

He couldn't stand the idea of other men fantasizing about Nancy!

Charles would never allow them anywhere near her! She was his territory, and he had clearly marked that border long ago.

"You are so overbearing! What kind of a man are you? You don't deserve her. The next time you make her cry again, I'm telling you I'd be the first one to steal Nancy away from you!" Edward promised, finally setting Nancy free from his grip.

"You won't stand a chance!" After spitting those words, Charles scooped Nancy up and walked out of the ward with Hiram behind him.

Meanwhile, Edward was left in utter disdain and could only watch them as he tightly clenched his fist in seething anger. "It's too early to say that. We won't know who will win until the last moment!" he muttered with utmost conviction.
