Sweet Wife So Charming: CEO: Hold Back Your Heart-Chapter 13: Protecting

"Little Moira! My little Moira!" A familiar male voice rang from above Moira Young’s head, full of joy and surprise.

Moira Young looked up and saw a man grinning cheekily at her, with a voluptuous woman standing next to him.

This was Adrian Grant, Julian Sinclair’s best friend, and the woman beside him was probably Adrian Grant’s hundredth girlfriend.

"Hey, what’s up with our Moira’s face? Did someone hit her?" Adrian Grant grabbed Moira Young’s hand, looked carefully, full of worry, "Tsk tsk, Uncle won’t know how to blow up again..."

"Adrian, I want to go home..." Moira Young pleaded sincerely, knowing that Adrian Grant wouldn’t refuse her.

"You can go home, but I want to see who bullied our Moira; I must break his damn legs!" Adrian Grant dragged Moira Young towards the hospital, despite Moira Young not wanting to go back in, but she couldn’t resist him.

"Hey, go get the abortion yourself, and tell the doctor to go easy on my son. Remember—" Adrian Grant was about to say something more to his girlfriend when he suddenly remembered Moira Young was still there, so he didn’t finish, gave an awkward smile, and signaled his girlfriend to go quickly.

Thea Thorne was sitting in the hallway earlier, and Aunt Sterling beside her was also feeling a bit sorry, after all, she’d chosen her as a daughter-in-law, how could she let her be bullied so casually.

"Aunt Sterling, she dares to come!" Thea Thorne saw Moira Young’s figure from afar, getting furious, if Aunt Sterling hadn’t held her back, she might have rushed up to start a fight!

Adrian Grant held Moira Young’s hand, telling her not to be afraid.

"Is it you guys who beat my child up like this?" Adrian Grant took a stance, glanced at Thea Thorne, damn, why was the girl’s face swollen like that? Could Moira Young have done it?

Thea Thorne’s parents weren’t around, seeing an adult coming over made her nervous, hiding behind Aunt Sterling not daring to speak.

"You’re her guardian, right? Look at this, how your kid beat her up like this, and not to mention my son still lying in the hospital bed, all because of her! Since you’re here, let’s explain this!" Aunt Sterling got into it, originally thinking the Sterling family had a reputation in this city and wouldn’t stoop to arguing with an immature girl, but since their guardian had the nerve to come, then let’s clarify the matter.

Adrian Grant was startled by her stance, then chuckled, looking incredulously at Moira Young ducking her head behind him.

This child was always soft and obedient, who would’ve thought she had this skill?

He was about to speak when Julian Sinclair’s call came, asking where he was.

"I’m at the First Hospital."

Julian Sinclair on the other end sounded tired, "Have you seen Moira Young?"

"Funny enough, I’m here with our kid being reprimanded; our poor child’s eyes are crying, it makes my heart ache—"

"Hello? Hello? Hello!" Before he finished speaking, the call was hung up.

Adrian Grant sighed helplessly, yet had a hint of schadenfreude: "You’re done for."

He shrugged innocently: "It’s not my fault. The kid’s Uncle has a bad temper, heard the kid was bullied and is coming over."

Aunt Sterling’s eyes were bulging out, she was completely furious, "Who do you say was bullied? Exactly whose kid was bullied!"

"Do you even have any sense of reason? Because of her!" Aunt Sterling pointed at Moira Young, "My son broke his leg, just had surgery and is lying on the hospital bed, also because of her, Kiki almost got her face disfigured, she even took something and hit Kiki just now, everyone here saw it clearly!"

"As an adult, it’s one thing if you don’t educate your child, but don’t twist the truth!"

Adrian Grant took a step forward, shielding Moira Young behind him.

"First, my child is gentle and definitely wouldn’t bully anyone actively." Adrian Grant paused, looked at Thea Thorne, with a slight threatening tone in his voice, "Unless someone provoked her first and pushed her too far."

"Second, you say your son is in the hospital bed because of my child, that’s being unreasonable, I heard about this, the starting point was your son insisted on inviting my girl to dinner, that was your son being proactive, why would the consequences be my child’s responsibility?"

"Third, you talk about education issues. Then I’d like to ask you how you manage to educate a son who likes inviting young girls to dinner?"

Aunt Sterling’s face turned livid, momentarily at a loss for how to retaliate.

Moira Young felt even more distressed, Heath Sterling indeed got hurt protecting her, and Uncle obviously could redeem Heath Sterling, but he deliberately refrained, which deeply troubled Moira Young.

"Adrian, please don’t say anymore..." Moira Young tugged at Adrian Grant’s sleeve, she felt Heath Sterling was already lying on the hospital bed, yet they were still arguing here, it really seemed excessive.
