Chapter 44: A Heart with Bias
They were in the same hospital.
Pierce was not in the mood to deal with Emelia.
He went to the emergency room with a serious and tense expression.
Sophia at the door had her thick eyelashes slightly drooped, her face pale, but she still stood there,
listening carefully to the doctor’s treatment plan.
He strode past, his expression intimidating, his aura icy cold:
“How did it go?”
Sophia glanced at him, naturally noticing Emelia behind him, without saying much.
The doctor laid out the situation in detail:
The patient was in a critical condition, especially the old man. He was frail due to his old age, with
multiple fractures and internal bleeding. His injuries were more severe.
“The old lady’s condition was slightly better, but she had suffered a blow to the head and was currently
in a coma from surgery.”
Pierce’s face was dark and gloomy, his pupils slightly contracted, his thin lips coldly pursed. He directly
called the hospital’s director:
“Seek the best doctor to perform the surgery…”
The doctor in front of him interrupted him:

“Mr. Clement, the doctors currently performing the surgery inside are the best in the country, Ms. Cruise
has arranged everything,”
Pierce looked up, his gaze meeting Sophia’s, a wave of complex emotions washing over him.
But Sophia didn’t say a word.
Emelia couldn’t help but step forward, her voice carrying a hint of complaint:
“So it was such an important matter, why didn’t Ms. Cruise just say it directly? It wouldn’t have wasted
so much time…..”
Sophia’s drooping eyes were tinged with a hint of frost.
She looked up, her gaze cold and laughable:
“Did Ms. Wilson scold me and then hang up the phone? Did she give me time to speak?”
Did Emelia think she wouldn’t resist?
Did he still think she was too lazy to explain?
“You were talking nonsense…”
Emelia turned pale, just about to defend herself, when Pierce gave her an impatient glance.
His voice was heavy, “Enough.”
His heart had unconsciously leaned towards one of these two women.
He believed Sophia’s words.
He looked at Sophia, his lips slightly pursed:

“What happened back then?”
Sophia’s voice was calm, “Grandma found out about our divorce and wanted to come talk to me. As
soon as I got off the car there, I saw a car hit her.”
Her heart suddenly shrank in her chest, the pain was intense.
That kind of fear was unspeakable, she watched helplessly, yet she was powerless.
Pierce’s expression was frozen, his eyes dark and deep, a sharp pain slicing through his heart.
When the doctor rushed in to save him, the police also hurriedly arrived.
“Ms. Cruise, did you personally witness the perpetrator?”
“Yes.”
Police: “Did you recognize?”
“Didn’t know.”
Sophia paused, suddenly remembering something:
“That person was a woman, around forty years old, with black curly hair. She had a black mole on the
left side of her chin.”
The police nodded, taking down her words.
Upon hearing this, Emelia, who was standing aside, suddenly turned pale.
Shock filled her eyes, and suddenly her legs gave out, causing her to fall onto Pierce beside her.

She clung tightly to Pierce’s waist with both hands, her body trembling.
Pierce frowned, about to move her aside, but seeing her shivering all over, he paused for a second.
“What was wrong with you?”
Emelia’s mind was blank, her heart pounding, her hands and feet icy cold. Gradually, she came back to
her senses upon hearing Pierce’s words.
Tears welled up in her eyes, the shock in them transforming into
sorrow:
“I was just too scared, too worried. I hoped that my grandparents would be okay.”
Pierce frowned, guessing that she might be having a bout of
depression, and pulled up the limp figure, placing her on the seat next to him.
Emelia had her arms tightly wrapped around Pierce’s waist, like a vine, soft and boneless, yet unwilling
to let go.
“Pierce, I didn’t feel well, my head hurt so much…”
Her voice was sweet and plaintive.
Pierce furrowed his brow, instinctively looking at Sophia next to him.
A clear, piercing light shone in her eyes, carrying a hint of cold amusement as if watching a play, devoid
of any anger or jealousy.
His heart sank slightly, he decisively pushed Emelia away, his tone carrying a hint of impatience:

“If you’re uncomfortable, go back. No one is making you stay here.”
Tears fell from Emelia’s eyes as she lowered her head and bit her lip, as if she had suffered a great
injustice.
The police watched this scene, feeling utterly speechless.
He asked Sophia a few more questions, and Sophia answered them all truthfully.
Sophia couldn’t help but ask, “That street was monitored, right?”
“We found that car, it was a cloned vehicle, should have been scrapped long ago.”
“The surveillance at the entrance was broken. When we checked the surveillance at the intersection,
the person had put on a hat and mask, we couldn’t see their face clearly…”
Pierce’s face was cold and intimidating.
He narrowed his eyes, his brows shadowed with gloom, “It was done on purpose.”
His jaw was tightly clenched, his face frighteningly cold and stern.
Sophia also had the same suspicion.
But she couldn’t understand, why would anyone harm an old couple?
Very quickly.
Kasen rushed over, glanced at Sophia and Emelia, and said with pursed lips:
“Mr. Clement, the chairman and his wife have arrived.”
Pierce pursed his lips, looking at Emelia.

Emelia quickly stood up, her face pale and slightly trembling.
“I…I’ll go back to the ward first, and come back to see grandma and grandpa later.”
She didn’t want to run into Ava now.
Because of that banquet, Ava still harbored a deep hatred for her.
Pierce didn’t say anything, watching her leave in a hurry.
Sophia stood there, motionless, indifferent to the arrival of Ava and Kamden.
Pierce’s eyes flickered slightly, knowing how harsh Ava’s words could be. He was about to warn her to
step aside, but the Kamdens had already arrived.
“Pierce, how did it go?”
Kamden’s face looked pale in a hurry.
Pierce pursed his lips, his voice cold and deep: “Still in rescue.”
The words had just fallen.
Ava looked at Sophia, her voice unconsciously becoming sharp:
“How did you end up here? A cat weeping for a mouse, feigning compassion. You’re not welcome here,
get lost immediately.”
Sophia glanced at Ava with indifferent eyes, responding in a restrained
tone:
“This is a hospital, whether you welcome me or not has nothing to do with me.”
Ava’s eyelid twitched:

“You despicable person, don’t think I don’t know you’re trying to please the old lady to get back into the
Clement family, let me tell you…”
Before she could finish speaking, Pierce couldn’t help but interrupt her:
“Mom, this is a hospital, noise is prohibited!”
His tone carried a hint of coldness.
Kamden also frowned from the side, warning: This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
“Shut up, keep it down!”
Ava’s chest heaved with anger, she glared at Sophia resentfully.
Sophia averted her gaze, standing in a position opposite to their family.
The well water did not interfere with the river water.
More than two hours later.
The person from the emergency room finally came out.
Bianca was covered in tubes, her face pale and devoid of any signs of life.
The image of Bianca waving and smiling at her couldn’t be shaken from Sophia’s mind.
Her eyes were sour and slightly red, and the warm liquid couldn’t help but fall down.
The sadness in my heart felt like a huge stone lodged in my chest.
This was her favorite Bianca!
Pierce’s gaze narrowed, his emotions restrained, as he watched Sophia
