Our Love Story: Hard to Guard Against the Sudden Love Strike-Chapter 378 - 359: Father and Daughter Reunited

Simon Forrester glanced at Quentin Thorne with the corner of his eye and smiled, "No choice, preparing to have a kid, no matter how bad the smoking habit, I have to quit."

These words immediately froze the smile on Quentin Thorne’s face.

After the club manager left, Quentin sneered, "Annie agreed to have a child?" His tone was certain, perhaps because he already guessed Sienna Thornton wouldn’t choose to marry and have children at this critical juncture.

Simon didn’t answer but asked back, "How’s your relationship with Rhonda Wagner’s father, James Wagner, the First Prosecutor?"

Quentin wasn’t surprised; he slowly brewed and poured tea, "The public prosecution and law enforcement are always one family, so the relationship is naturally quite good. First Prosecutor Wagner was just transferred from the South two years ago and is expected to take over the position of Chief Prosecutor next term."

"So what do you mean now?"

"Rex, you’re so smart, how could you not understand my meaning?" Quentin still smiled, speaking the coldest words in the world while maintaining his smile, "Last time with Annie’s case, I just learned that Rhonda is the youngest son of First Prosecutor Wagner. I find this young man very smart and very dedicated to Annie’s matters, so I think highly of him."

"Uncle Thorne, you’re being ridiculous!"

Seeing Quentin laying things out, Simon no longer held back, "Do you think Rhonda, knowing that Annie and I are already at the point of discussing marriage, still has a chance with Annie?"

After elegantly sipping a cup of tea, Quentin played with the exquisite jade cup in his hand, still smiling when he looked at Simon, "Whether there’s a chance or not isn’t something you and I can figure out here. I heard your father brought in some executive from the United States specifically to deal with Annie? Taking advantage of Annie being wronged this time, forcing her to terminate her contract? Also, the Sinclair Family is still smearing Annie, why isn’t your Forrester Family doing something about it? I wasn’t happy with Annie marrying into your Forrester Family before, and this incident made me see clearly your family’s attitude towards Annie. So, I’ve decided to intervene!"

As he spoke, Quentin threw the teacup in his hand heavily onto the table with a crisp "clang," and his smile vanished completely.

Simon was about to explain that Old Master Forrester had already been negotiating with the Sinclair Family, but given that the Sinclairs are also a notable family, it couldn’t be resolved quickly. However, before he could speak, his phone suddenly rang.

Seeing it was Sienna Thornton calling, he was startled and quickly picked up, "I’m still outside, do you want to go home?"

Not knowing what was said on the other end, his face suddenly changed color, still on the call, he stood up and took his coat from the hanger, "Don’t worry, I’m coming over right now!"

He hung up and walked out while putting on his coat.

Quentin chased after him, looking tense, "Did something happen to Annie?"

"Aunt had a heart attack and is in the hospital!"

Simon entered the elevator, with Quentin following in, looking at him incredulously, his voice trembling slightly, "Is it Melinda... Melinda was hospitalized?"

Simon gritted his teeth, his eyes always fixed on the changing elevator floor numbers, "Yes. Aunt has always had a heart condition."

When the elevator reached the first floor, he quickly ran out.

It was late January, and the outdoor temperature in Brimfield was close to zero. The bone-chilling wind slapped Simon’s face as he ran breathlessly to his car, unlocked it, and got into the driver’s seat.

As soon as the car started, the passenger door was pulled open, and Quentin got in, "I’m going with you to the hospital!"

Simon looked at him, and after a few seconds, he said nothing, pulled the handbrake, stepped on the gas, and the car quickly left the club’s premises.

.

Outside the emergency room in the hospital, police officers were taking Jenna Raines’s statement.

Jenna: "Someone knocked on the door at the time, it was my mom who went to answer it, I don’t know what those people said, and my mom fainted."

Officer: "From the surveillance, those people flashed a knife at the older woman, causing her to faint. Has your family crossed anyone recently?"

Jenna glanced at Sienna Thornton, who was anxiously waiting outside the emergency room, and whispered, "You might need to ask my sister about that..."

The officer nodded and had Jenna sign the statement.

Just as the officer was about to take Sienna’s statement, Simon and Quentin arrived.

Seeing Quentin, Sienna was stunned for a while, her eyes gradually turning red, and her nose flaring as anger churned in her chest. She pointed fiercely at Quentin and asked Simon, "You were having dinner with him tonight?"

Quentin was also taken aback by her reaction.

Perhaps he didn’t expect Sienna to already know his identity, and although he felt a storm of emotions inside, he maintained his usual calm exterior. Only with careful observation would one notice the worry behind the smile lines around his eyes. "I went to The Imperial Court Club for dinner, happened to see Rex rushing out, asked about it, and learned your mother was sick, so I came to look."

"I don’t need your fake concern! Get out!" Sienna cried, pushing Quentin away.

Simon reached to pull her away but found that her hands, pushing Quentin, had no strength behind them. He understood, silently stepping aside.

Sienna’s face was covered in tears; she kept pushing Quentin, but Quentin’s body didn’t budge, and a few seconds later, he suddenly hugged her tightly.

In his prominent public figure, he too had reddened eyes, "Annie! Listen to Dad! Right now, your mom’s health is the priority! If you want to be rash with Dad, wait until your mom gets better! Dad will let you hit and scold him then! But right now, please don’t..."

The nearby police officers and Jenna, sitting not far away, were dumbfounded, completely stunned.

Quentin held Sienna tightly, gently stroking her long hair hanging down behind her, soothing her softly, "Annie, don’t get angry with Dad. Dad loves you since the moment he knew you existed, not a day went by without worrying about you! Dad didn’t recognize you immediately for reasons, it’s all for your protection..."

He should have stopped there, but the moment he said it, Sienna suddenly used all her strength to push him away, looking at him bitterly, her eyes and nose red from crying, stubbornly clenching her teeth.

Simon came forward to embrace her shoulders, whispering, "There are a lot of people here, let’s not say too much."

Sienna’s chest heaved with intense emotion, her gaze never leaving Quentin’s face.

Simon guided her to a seat on the bench at the back, "What did the doctor say?"

At this question, Sienna broke down again, covering her face and crying.

Jenna approached cautiously, "A nurse came out earlier and said the situation is quite dangerous, suggesting the family prepare themselves mentally..."

Standing not far away, Quentin seemed to hear this, said nothing, and silently turned around, walking out of the room.

Sienna’s face was full of tears, her eyes swollen red, fiercely biting her lower lip. Her eyes, not resigned, were despairingly fixed on the figure that temporarily disappeared around the corner.
