Chapter: 50 Urgency colored Vivian's expression. "Is Millie okay?" Alexia caught sight of Vivian and her irritation spiked."You brought her here, Brandon?" Alexia's finger jabbed toward Vivian, her tone sharp. "Did you think bringing her along would help Millie feel better?"Not wanting a scene outside Millie's room, Alexia herded both of them toward the emergency exit..e. Vivian shrank back, almost hiding behind Brandon, her voice small. "Dr. Hussain, you've got it wrong. was just with Brandon when you called. Parking was a nightmare, and he didn't want to waste any time getting to Millie, so we just rushed in together."..oAlexia scoffed inwardly at the explanation. It was no secret that Millie loathed Vivian, considering her nothing more than a shameless interloper. Even so, Vivian had tagged along, acting as if her presence was necessary. There was nothing stopping her from waiting in the car or wandering off for a bit. The whole thing was so absurd, Alexia let out a sharp, disbelieving laugh."Oh, that's right. almost forgot. The two of you were spotted leaving the Watson Group together tonight in the same car, practically side by side." Alexia's voice dripped with sarcasm. "It's all over the Internet.""You!" Vivian's eyes glistened, her face twisting with wounded outrage. Brandon blocked her from Alexia's reach by the emergency exit, an act that made Alexia's skin crawl. Their affection was no secret, splashed across gossip sites and social feeds, and now they brought the spectacle to the hospital halls. Alexia wondered if Brandon had ever truly cared about Millie, or if this was all just a show for Vivian's sake.w.v. She blurted out, "If you two want to parade your relationship, do it somewhere else. don't care for your drama."Vivian only stared at the floor, silent and trying to look as though she'd been hurt. Irritation clouded Brandon's face, and he spoke sharply. "That's enough. Why are you accusing her? What are you really getting at?""Millie was targeted on purpose. Someone hit her with a car," said Alexia, refusing to soften her words. "I wouldn't put it past you to arrange it, just so you could move on with Vivian sooner."Before Brandon could reply, Vivian slipped in between them. "Dr. Hussain, do you hear yourself? That's a heavy accusation."Brushing off Alexia's suspicion, Vivian asked, "Accidents happen, and Millie could have been hit by anyone. How can you turn on Brandon without proof?"She sounded completely convinced of her own innocence as she continued, "It was you who asked Brandon to come. We've been here for a while now, but you're still keeping us from seeing Millie. What's the real reason? Is she perfectly fine, and you're just making things up?"That was all it took for Alexia's anger to reach its limit. She could still picture Millie as she was wheeled in, pale and fragile..m. The memory of the risks Millie faced haunted Alexia. With Millie's rare Rh-negative blood type, even a minor injury could become deadly, never mind being pregnant with Brandon's child. Vivian's attempt to twist the truth was beyond infuriating.
