Now They Want My Forgiveness - Chapter 272: Chapter 272

Jack's wife didn't see it coming. With that blow, she toppled right off Fiona and hit the ground hard. Even then, she reached out toward Jack and snapped, "How dare you hit me!"
Fiona scrambled up from the floor, and Jack immediately tossed the stick aside and rushed over to help her up. "Are you alright?" he asked anxiously.
"It hurts so much, Jack. I swear, it hurts like hell!" Fiona whimpered.
Anna's eyes went wide in shock. She never imagined Fiona could ever act all cutesy like that. She thought it was disgusting to watch.
Andrew's face was as black as thunder.
Meanwhile, Jack was fussing over Fiona, blowing on her wounds like some shameless pair of lovers.
Someone nearby shouted, "Jack, call an ambulance. If your wife dies, you'll end up in jail."
"That's right, Jack. Your wife never did anything to deserve this. You're the one who wronged her. If she really dies, could you really live with that on your conscience?" someone else added.
Jack looked down at the woman on the ground. There was still guilt in his eyes. Even if he never really liked her, after all those years together, he definitely didn't want her dead. "I'll take her to the hospital," he said.
Jack was about to take his wife to the hospital when Fiona, who was also covered in bruises, spoke up, "Jack, I need to go to the hospital too."
"Alright. I'll take both of you," he replied. Jack actually had a car at home, not much, just a used ride, but it was better than nothing. He drove them both to the hospital.
Anna glanced at Andrew. "Dad, should we keep following them?"
"Yeah. And make sure Jack's wife's family hears about this," Andrew said.
Anna understood what he meant and nodded.
At the hospital, the doctor said Jack's wife needed emergency treatment first. But Jack insisted, "Doctor, can you check on her first? She's got a bunch of injuries too," nodding toward Fiona.
"We only see the most serious cases first. She just has some scrapes and bruises. It's nothing urgent," the doctor replied.
"But I'm paying for this," Jack protested.
"That's just how it works here. There'll be other doctors available soon. Take her to one of them," the doctor said, not budging.
If it weren't for the emergency, the doctor would've let Jack have it. 'What a scumbag!' the doctor cursed to himself. 'That woman's definitely a homewrecker. Sooner or later, he's going to regret making such a stupid choice.'
Jack was fussing over Fiona as he took her to see another doctor. But he was picky. If the doctor was a man, he flat-out refused, so they had to find a woman doctor.
Before they could even finish applying the medicine to her wounds, someone outside started yelling, "Where's my sister? Where's my sister?"
As soon as Jack heard his brother-in-law's voice, his whole body tensed up.
Fiona knew all about Jack's family and how scared he was of his brother-in-law. She couldn't figure out why he'd suddenly shown up.
"Baby, I need to find somewhere to hide. Don't let him see me," Jack whispered.
Fiona nodded.
But before he could move, his brother-in-law had already spotted him and grabbed him by the collar. "Where's my sister?" he demanded.
Jack was actually a total coward. If his wife hadn't gone back to her family for a few days, he never would've dared to bring Fiona over.
Now, seeing his brother-in-law storming over, he was so scared he nearly peed his pants. "She's getting emergency treatment right now. D-don't freak out," he stammered.
"How am I supposed to stay calm? Why does my sister need emergency treatment? Did you do something to her or what?" his brother-in-law snapped.
"What could I even do to her? I didn't do anything! She just suddenly got sick, so I brought her to the hospital," Jack said, trying to sound innocent.
