Me and My Cold CEO Wife

Chapter 1680 - 1669: Used and Cast Aside

Upon hearing the news, Alice was so anxious she wished she could sprout wings and fly to Adams immediately.As a result, Alice had no choice but to seek out Ning Fan.

The community hospital was bustling with people, chaotic like a marketplace, with all the patients clad in cheap attire.

In America, where private medical costs are exorbitant, community hospitals are a godsend for the poor.

The treatment costs are low, so naturally, the hospital's various hardware and software measures are not great.

Looking at the chaotic multi-person ward, Adams frowned in displeasure, his inner fury rising rapidly.

If it weren't for yesterday's incident, he wouldn't have had any reason to be in this hellhole suffering.

The sounds of crying, shouting, and screaming combined, resembling devilish noises piercing the ears.

The mixture of body odor, disinfectant, and cheap perfume was as foul as a public toilet.

"Oh my God. This truly is a living hell."

Adams muttered to himself, but his face showed a compassionate expression, "May God help these good-hearted people."

Upon hearing this, the members of the rescue committee admired him, saying, "President, you truly are a good man. May the Lord bless you with a speedy recovery."

Adams shook his head and said, "If possible, I would rather hope that God helps these innocent patients recover first."

"President, you are truly a great person..."

One person spoke with a choked voice, then began clapping first.

Amid the applause, an African-American nurse with a waist as thick as a barrel shouted loudly, "Don't you idiots understand the need for quiet in the hospital ward?"

"Uh..."

The rescue group looked at each other, then awkwardly put their hands down.

As if not seeing the scene, Adams said calmly, "Thank you all for visiting me amid your busy schedules. I really don't want to waste everyone's time."

"President, please don't say that."

"Thank you all."

Adams glanced around at the people by the bedside, with gratitude in his eyes but hiding a trace of coldness beneath.

Since the incident, he's noted in his heart who has visited, who hasn't, who came first, who arrived later, and what gifts were brought.

"President, who did this to you?"

"Who else could it be?"

Adams snorted coldly, "Besides those greedy conglomerates and ugly politicians, who else could it be?"

"President, don't worry. Our rescue committee will fully support you."

"Once you're recovered, we'll definitely demand justice for you."

"It's time to counterattack them. President, we're eagerly waiting for you to return and lead us."

...

Seeing these loyal subordinates, Adams felt a wave of relief.

"Isn't that Alice? She's here to see the President too."

Upon hearing this, Adams's expression changed, and he sincerely urged,

"Everyone, please go back first. Don't let my situation waste everyone's time further. I truly feel guilty for this."

"Well... we'll visit you next time, President. If you have any needs, let us know by phone."

"Alright, please walk slowly."

Watching the retreating backs, Adams adjusted his facial expression,

finally settling on a look of poignant yet resolute ambition.

"Alice, you're here."

"The President is over there."

"We'll be leaving now."

...

After greeting her companions one by one, Alice nervously walked towards the hospital bed.

Seeing Adams wrapped in bandages, his back facing her, Alice's eyes showed a hint of distress, biting her lips gently and saying, "President, I came to visit you."

"You are… Alice."

Adams exclaimed in surprise, quickly turning around, but due to the large movement, it pulled on his wounds, causing him to gasp in pain.

"President, are you alright?"

Alice urgently supported him, looking at the bruised purple marks, tears uncontrollably spinning in her eyes.

"I'm fine."

Adams gritted his teeth in pain, forcing a bright smile, "Miss Alice, why have you come?"

"It must be very painful."

Seeing this, Alice's heart almost broke, quickly responding, "I received information from Amy, and learned that the President was hospitalized."

"That Amy."

Adams shook his head and chuckled, "I had instructed him not to tell others to avoid troubling everyone, but..."

Alice hurriedly said, "How could this be a bother? You've experienced such a major incident, we should be visiting you."

"Don't speak of presidents, we are all equals, no one is higher than another."

Adams further said, "From now on, just call me by my name."

"How could that be appropriate?"

"It's settled then."

After saying so, Adams teased, "Call me that again and I'll be angry."

"Alright!"

Alice's eyes showed a hint of shyness, then she gently asked, "I heard you were attacked?"

Repeating the earlier words, Adams angrily declared, "They can torture me, beat me, but they will never destroy my will."

"Adams, you're truly an upright person."

"Alice, you're too kind."

Seeing Alice come empty-handed, Adams had no thought of dissatisfaction because, to him, this exquisite doll was the best gift.

Watching the man chatting happily with the young lady, the Viscount's bodyguard following along revealed a trace of surprise.

"How could it be him? Oh right… the young lady is ultimately a member of the rescue committee, so visiting this human is quite normal."

Thinking of this point, the Viscount's bodyguard nodded in understanding, then his pupils shrank suddenly, realizing something even more critical.

"Doesn't this mean the young lady came out this time entirely for this human, not for truly inviting Mr. Ning on a trip?"

Thinking of the Viscount left outside the hospital, this bodyguard became distinctly uneasy.

Although unaware of Ning Fan's background, the attitudes of the two Dukes were clear, and the Low Rank bloodlines wouldn't dare misbehave.

Moreover, Duke Andrew specifically instructed them to respect Ning Fan as they would Andrew himself.

Not to mention Andrew's forced matchmaking scene, which these members of the Blood Clan witnessed fully.

"No way. This matter is of great importance. It must be reported to the Duke."

To meet with another man, especially a human, and to use the family guest as an excuse to go out and then ditch them aside. Ah

Even if that person is Alice, the Morgan Family's treasured jewel.

This Viscount's bodyguard still felt a bit disgruntled with her.

Because Alice's actions were bringing shame to the Morgan Family, and if this got out, it would surely invite ridicule from the entire Blood Clan.

"What's so great about this hypocritical human? Why does the young lady insist?"

The Viscount's bodyguard shook his head, pursing his lips, "I should have just killed him with a stick yesterday."
