A Moment in Destiny
Chapter 389 Arguing In The Ward

"You say Macey? She made such a pornographic video and became the object of masturbation for male Internet users all over F City and even the whole country. I am afraid that many men are now looking for her, right? Maybe they all want Macey to go sleep with them for a night!"

"You--" Anger flashed in Leila's eyes, but she instantly suppressed her emotions. She knew there was nothing to say to such people. Without further ado, Leila carried her food box and walked towards the building.

"Don't worry, Miss Hunter. I know where Macey is!"

Leila didn't stop and just walked straight ahead.

A fierce light flashed in Carson's eyes. "Miss Hunter, stop pretending to be so noble. Even if you're noble, you're still the sister of that bitch, Macey. How much better can you be?"

Hearing what he said, Leila slowly turned around and gave a cold snort. "Mr. Palmer, don't you smell a beastly odor. Such a strong stench seems to be emanating from you, right?"

"Bitch, you scold me?" Carson had known about Brian's illness. He guessed that he wouldn't be able to go back to work, and should be retired from work early. The Hunter family was down, and he didn't have to fear Brian, so he stepped forward and grabbed Leila's wrist.

"Let go of me!" Leila tried to pull her hand back.

"You scolded me and then want to leave, how can it be so easy?" Carson tugged Leila. Ignoring the fact that they were in public, he dragged Leila towards the corner, "I heard that you kicked Vincent in the balls. Girl, is he not able to satisfy you? Come with me, I'll satisfy you!"

"Yuck!" Leila felt disgusted. Some of the moves she learned at the Taekwondo Gym came in handy this time. Leila lifted her leg and kicked Carson in the knee.

"Damn it!" Carson cursed.

Leila took a step back, "I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen one as shameless as you!"

"Damn girl, you want to leave just like that?!" Carson quickly rushed over. He stretched out a hand to grab Leila's arm, but she dodged away.

"Get lost." Leila gave him an indifferent look. Her voice was cold and her face was expressionless. She was most disgusted by people who were so horny that they were shameless in her life, so her face was colder than usual.

Seeing that Leila was going to leave, Carson became even more anxious. He had taken a liking to this little woman. She was hot enough, much hotter than Macey! That bitch, Macey, was pretty but not so hot! When he was about to pull Leila again, a slender man's hand instantly intercepted Carson's hand. "Huh! Isn't this Mr. Palmer? In broad daylight, are you trying to embarrass a little woman? I don't know how my sister has offended you?"

"Arthur?" Leila was stunned and turned back to meet Arthur's handsome face with a gentle smile. "You, you, why are you back?"

Arthur blinked. "Leila, you don't have to be so surprised. We'll talk later!"

And with his other hand, he pulled Leila behind himself.

Leila was really frozen. How come he's back? Wasn't he in America? He had only been gone for a few days, so why did he suddenly come back? "Oh! So it's Mr. Lane, huh?" As soon as he saw Arthur, Carson immediately said, "Long time no see. How have you been?"

Arthur looked at Carson with a smile on his face. His bright eyes flashed with a touch of coldness. "Mr. Palmer, what are you pulling with my sister here?" "Oh! It's nothing. So Miss Hunter is your sister? I don't know what kind of sister she is? It's easy to get into trouble when brothers and sisters are together!"

"Do I need to report this to you?" Arthur had a reputation for being mean. At the moment, he even curled his lips up into a cold smile. "Recently, the surveillance equipment business is good. Mr. Palmer, I have many friends who want to be in this business. I have always felt that they should not be allowed to enter F City to grab business with you. But now I don't know what these people have eaten, they are so excited that they have to squeeze into this field. Mr. Palmer! Let's have a meal together sometime so they can learn from your experience!"

Carson was startled. He heard Arthur's warning. He was trying to squeeze him out!

Even if Carson was reluctant, at this moment, his face was ashen, and he lost the domineering spirit he had just pulled with Leila, "Mr. Lane, okay, let's have dinner together someday! I still have things to do. I'l leave now!"

Arthur turned his head to look at Leila only when he walked away. A gentle light flashed in his eyes. And he thrust one hand into his trouser pocket with a dashing gesture.

"What brings you back all of a sudden?" Leila was still puzzled.

"I was afraid you wouldn't be able to hold on alone, so I came back!" His words warmed Leila's heart. So she smiled softly.

"Did you know about that incident too?" That was not a good thing after all. As the saying went, good things went unnoticed, while bad things spread a thousand miles. This was the current scenario, right? Leila's eyes could not help but darken.

A touch of heartache flashed across Arthur's eyes. He stepped forward and gently embraced her, "Leila, it's no big deal. Life is like this, which is full of unknowable destinies. It's not up to you or me to decide. When you encounter it, be open to it, let go of your mind and you'll be able to handle it with ease. I believe you are strong. Let's go, I'll walk you upstairs!"

"Yes! You said it so well!" Leila nodded, feeling so moved. She needed some strength at this time. She looked at him as she walked, "When are you going back to America?"

"What? I just got back and you're kicking me away?" Arthur raised his eyebrows and pretended to be aggrieved, "Am I that unpopular?"

"No!" Leila shook her head and explained, "You know that's not what I meant."

"I'm just kidding. Look how nervous you are!" Arthur rubbed Leila's long hair affectionately. "How can you be open-minded when you're so serious?"

"Yeah. I should be open-minded!" Leila agreed.

Leila and Arthur walked to the VIP ward just in time to hear the sound of laughter coming from inside. The laughter was somewhat smug and familiar, and Leila panicked. It was Nora's! Why was she here?

She immediately barged in and saw Nora and Pippa standing together. Nora looked at Brian on the hospital bed and smiled smugly. "Brian, you didn't expect it, did you? I could not have imagined that you would become what you are today. It's not something I thought of. I can't believe you had a brain stroke so early! You're really cooperating with me, ahahahaha..."

"What are you doing here?" Anger instantly welled up inside Leila. This was Vincent's mother. She thought with sadness, 'Why would Vincent have such a mother?'

And because of such a woman, she and Vincent could no longer get together! She felt sad and helpless about it!

"Huh! You and Vincent aren't even divorced yet, and you're disrespecting me! Brian, your daughter is really something to be ashamed of. One loves to make nude movies, and the other has no courtesy. Like father, like daughter!" Nora's cynical words made Leila's scalp tingle. The hair all over her body stood up.

It turned out that even though she was prepared, this woman's words were still so damaging to her.

Nora was still wearing a delicate cheongsam. Her hair was still meticulously coiled up high, and her clothes were ironed without a single crease. Her chin was slightly raised as she spoke, looking condescending and haughty.

Leila didn't know how she should address her. It was obvious that she was hostile to Nora. She walked over to the bed, blocked the front of the hospital bed, and gave Brian a worried look. "Dad, how are you? Are you okay?"

Strangely enough, Brian's expression was very calm. He just looked at Nora, and his eyes seemed to be somewhat drifting. It was like he was remembering something through Nora, who was in front of him. Luckily, Dad was not angry. Leila looked at Nora coldly and said in a deep voice, "You are not welcome here. You can leave now!"

"Do you think I love to come? Haha, I just came to see what happened to him. That's funny. Brian, I didn't expect you to become what you are today. Your mouth is crooked, and you're drooling, aren't you? It's so disgusting!" Nora looked contemptuous.

"You don't like to come, yet you still come. You are really boring!" Leila said coldly. "You've seen my father. You can go now!"

Nora gave Leila a contemptuous look, not even lifting her eyelids. Instead, her gaze fell straight on Brian's body. "Brian, it is just the beginning. Do you remember what I said?"

Brian didn't blink and just looked at her as if she were a stranger.

"Your daughter is about to be dumped by my son!" Nora smiled smugly again.

Leila bit her lip. Watching Nora talk about her father and herself like this, she was furious inside. Her hands clenched into fists at her side, but she just looked at her coldly. Her long, arched eyelashes trembled slightly. There was anger in her eyes, but she was holding back. Her stubborn look was heartbreaking. Finally, she spoke softly and said in an unhurried tone, "You are wrong. It was me who didn't want him, not him who dumped me! Listen carefully, it was me who dumped Vincent!"

Arthur stood behind them, looked at Leila, and then quietly looked at Nora and Pippa. At this time, he was quiet like air, yet he was still dazzling. Hearing Nora's words, Arthur was also helpless, and Leila's words made him even more unable to resist the heartache. He finally couldn't help but speak up. "Mrs. White, are you here to visit the patient, or are you here to quarrel?"

Nora froze, turned her head back, and looked at Arthur in dismay. "Arthur? What are you doing here?"

"You can leave now!" Leila spoke.

Leila wondered where her mother had gone. How come there was no one here with Dad? How come Mom left Dad here alone?

Arthur glanced at Nora. For this kind of behavior of hers, Arthur was very disdainful. He spoke coldly. "Mrs. White, be merciful to others!"

"You were with Leila?" Nora looked at Leila as if her gaze was a searchlight, making her feel as if she had nowhere to hide.

From Leila's limited knowledge of her, she would never let herself be put on the back foot. Even using the most vicious language to attack others, as long as it would make her feel comfortable, she would neve take into account the feelings of others.

Especially for her who had long disgusted her to the core.

"I've seen shameless people before, but I've never seen a family as brazen as yours. No wonder Brian has such a shameless daughter. Brian, as you can see, your daughter is not even divorced yet, and she's hooking up with another man!" Leila really admired her for saying such vicious words in a very elegant tone.--------
