Chapter 223: Chapter 223 Unloved by Father and Mother
Edward Stephens carried a pile of things upstairs and saw a throng of people at the door of Daisy Ginger’s
hospital room from afar. The nurses’ screams and a woman's curses were incessant, and the not-so-spacious
doorway was crowded with about ten people.
"Daisy Ginger, get out here!"
"You've ruined Emily’s life, | won't let you go! | will never let you go in this lifetime!"
"Why did you harm her, why did you harm her!"
"lI won't spare you, | won't spare you!"
Who could it be with such a loud voice that the entire floor could hear other than Abigail Perry?
A group of young nurses couldn't stop Abigail Perry, who was raging like a shrew, and even the idle inpatients
from the sfloor cover with their IV drips to watch the commotion. The usually quiet and orderly hospital
room had been turned lively like a marketplace by Abigail Perry.
The door to Daisy Ginger’s hospital room was tightly shut and locked from the inside. Abigail Perry couldn't get
in, so she just pounded on the door with her fist, swearing, and threatening Daisy Ginger repeatedly back and
forth at the entrance.
Her voice was loud and full of vigor, and even if others weren't interested, they understood the story of "Daisy
Ginger harming her own sister." A few elderly women sat on a bench not far away, leaning on canes, whispering
eagerly about the gossip.
Edward Stephens’s face beccold and stern. His tall figure and the aura cultivated from a position of power
naturally parted the crowd at the door as he approached.

The onlookers, seeing this young man exuding a freezing aura and oppressive presence, felt a bit intimidated
and moved back, retreating a safe distance to whisper among themselves.
Edward Stephens glanced at them with knitted brows, and they dared not act rashly anymore, sulkily returning
to their rooms with IV bottles.
As the spectators dispersed, the air around loosened up. A young nurse, seeing him as if she'd seen a savior,
hurried over and called out to him, "Mr. Stephens!"
Abigail Perry, who was pounding on the door, turned around at the sound of Edward Stephens’s name. Upon
seeing him, she immediately walked over joyfully, trying to grab Edward Stephens’s hand, "Edward, you've
finally come! You have to stand up for Emily! | heard that it’s Daisy Ginger who caused this to happen to our
Emily! That bitch harmed our Emily!"
Edward Stephens dodged Abigail Perry’s outstretched hand, coldly saying, "Who told you that?"
"The night before Emily went crazy, didn’t she clooking for you? It was Daisy Ginger who stopped her from
coming in! Our poor Emily, she begged her for so long, but she wouldn't allow her in to see you! If Emily had
seen you that night, she would've been saved. She must have had something important to discuss with you.
Daisy Ginger, that vile woman, she was jealous of you liking Emily and made her suffer!"
Abigail Perry had somehow learned about the events of that night when Emily Ginger clooking for Daisy
Ginger and had specifically call the way from hto the hospital to trouble Daisy Ginger.
Edward Stephens frowned slightly and said to Abigail Perry, "Daisy Ginger has been hospitalized ever since she
got kidnapped. Where have you been?"
Abigail Perry replied righteously, "Her kidnapping has nothing to do with me. Why would | visit her?"
Edward Stephens gave her a glance, "The slifestyle you're enjoying now, it's all thanks to Daisy Ginger
earning it. Have you forgotten about that?"
"That's also because of the shares my husband gave me!" Abigail Perry shouted, "If she has the ability, let her
buy back the shares from me! Her own father wouldn't even give them to her, and she blamesfor that?"
It seemed she feared no one knew about how Daisy Ginger was not loved by her parents. She spoke loudly and
clearly for everyone around to hear, especially for Daisy Ginger inside the room.
Edward Stephens’s expression turned slightly chilly, and just as he was about to speak, the hospital room door
suddenly clicked open. Daisy Ginger, wearing a hospital gown and looking pale, appeared at the door.
Her dark eyes were fixed directly on Abigail Perry's face, her voice cold and stern, "Have you not caused enough
trouble yet? Aren’t you embarrassed enough?!"
Seeing Daisy Ginger appear, Abigail Perry becmore smug, turning around to point at Daisy Ginger’s nose,
cursing, "You hurt your sister, Daisy Ginger. | may be a disgrace, but you're not even human!"
Daisy Ginger looked at her, "That day she cto see me, but | didn’t know she had anything urgent."
"That's premeditated murder!" Abigail Perry shouted, "You think you're free from suspicion just because you
didn’t know?"
"Emily Ginger didn’t turn this way overnight. You, as her mother, shouldn't you know when she started acting
abnormally?"
Abigail Perry’s breath caught, and she looked at Daisy Ginger, her gaze wavering slightly. Then she retorted,
"What nonsense are you spouting now?"
"You didn’t take proper care of her and instead pushed the blon me, thinking you can live with peace of
mind?" Daisy Ginger made a slight sneer, mocking, "You probably know better than | do how exactly she went
mad!"
"How she went mad? How she went mad, tell me! She was fine when she cto look for you, but turned crazy
when she left! You've ruined our Emily, and you're still spouting nonsense here!" Abigail Perry choked, looked at
Edward Stephens, and pleaded, "Edward, you must stand up for our Emily. Daisy Ginger still doesn’t admit it,
even though it’s clear she ruined Emily. Emily is only twenty-four, what will she do with her life... sob."
With that, she couldn't help but start crying.
Edward Stephens went over, handed the small suitcase he was carrying to the nurse behind Daisy Ginger, and
said to Daisy Ginger, "You go back to bed for now."
Daisy Ginger’s face still looked pale, but she seemed very stubborn at that moment. She pursed her lips, looked
at Edward Stephens, "Weren't you the swith your blbefore?"
Edward Stephens kept his expression calm and said softly, "That was my mistake."
Daisy Ginger looked at him, then at Abigail Perry, pursed her lips, made a cold snort, and turned back into the
room.
Edward Stephens stood at the door, raised his eyes slightly, and coldly said to the distant crying Abigail Perry,
"You know very well who drove Emily Ginger mad. Coming here to make a fuss, your intentions are clear to
yourself."
Abigail Perry lifted her tear-filled eyes, looked at the young man with an icy demeanor, her lips quivered, "It
wasn't..."
"After she went mad, she not only approachedbut also approached Daisy Ginger. If she really thought Daisy
Ginger harmed her, she wouldn't stay close to her." Edward Stephens paused, smirked lightly, his eyes darkening
a little, "—Tell me, when she’s mad, who is she most afraid of?"
This sentence was like a hammer violently striking Abigail Perry’s face, which instantly contorted. She raised her
head, her lips trembling as she looked at Edward Stephens, "You" for a long time, before she gritted her teeth
and said, "Edward Stephens, our Emily trusts you so much, likes you so much, yet you're helping an outsider!"
