Chapter 12 An Extremely Dangerous Man

Behind him, Carlos made his way through the crowd.

A layer of frost seemed to envelop his handsome face, the aura he emitted was forbiddingly cold and dangerous, akin to a dark knight.

Just an hour ago, Oliver Ross informed him that they had located that woman.

Carlos had just driven to People's Hospital.

He had been searching for Adeline's whereabouts for the past few days.

But the woman had been intentionally avoiding him, only until today when she appeared at People's Hospital for a pregnancy check-up did Carlos finally find her.

"Young Master Carter... Young Master Carter..."

Seeing him, Adeline went pale as if she had seen a ghost, her legs gave out, and she was nowhere near as arrogant as before. She tried to escape, but Carlos's bodyguards already blocked her path.

"It looks like the child in Adeline's belly really is Carlos's, he came here personally, and Emily Parker is definitely going to become the stepmother."

Sophie Parker looked at the man before her, divinely handsome, and her heart was filled with mixed emotions.

One cannot deny that Carlos had everything to drive women mad with desire; he was tall, wealthy, and his appearance could rival that of top male celebrities. Yet, such a man liked a blind woman.

Sophie Parker felt a bitter taste in her mouth, but what she wanted to see more was Emily Parker making a fool of herself in front of Carlos.

"Young Master Carter, someone was just pretending to be your grandfather."

"My grandfather?"

Carlos looked around but did not see his grandfather.

It was then Sophie Parker realized that in the blink of an eye, both Emily Parker and the decrepit old man had disappeared.

"They must be in the emergency room."

Sophie Parker pointed to the emergency room, then she remembered that Emily Parker and the old man seemed to have gone in there.

Carlos couldn't care less about Sophie Parker.

"Take her away."

Carlos did not want to make a big scene, especially since his grandfather was upstairs, and there was also that young nurse working in the pharmacy whom he inexplicably did not want to involve in this matter.

The hospital pharmacy seemed to be nearby.

Carlos waved his hand, and several bodyguards covered Adeline's mouth and dragged her away.

The onlookers were silent upon witnessing this scene, jokingly thinking that the young man seemed not to be trifled with, and they certainly did not wish to court trouble.

Sophie Parker stomped her feet in anger, pushed open the door to the emergency room, and saw, indeed, Emily Parker and the wretched old man inside.

It happened that Adam Willow was on shift today, and he was surprised to see Emily Parker carrying an old man in.

"The old man suddenly said he was feeling very unwell, please take a look at him."

Emily Parker looked deeply concerned.

Just outside earlier, the old gentleman suddenly claimed to be Carlos's grandfather, which startled Emily too.

She remembered that when registering, she indeed noticed the old man's surname was Carter.

Could it really be that he was a member of Carlos's family?

Now that it was confirmed that the child's biological father was Carlos, Emily was determined not to have any further association with him.

Emily was about to question the old man when she heard him moaning, saying he was uncomfortable and urging Emily to take him to a doctor quickly.

Emily did not dare to delay and hurriedly carried the old man to the emergency room.

Carlos's attention at that time was on Adeline, so he did not notice his grandfather and Emily Parker sneaking away.

Seeing how concerned Emily was for the old man, Adam Willow inquired about his condition.

"The old man has high blood pressure. A fall could be serious; we need to take an X-ray to make sure there's no harm to his bones or viscera, then check his brain."

Adam Willow instructed Emily to take the old man for an X-ray.

When Emily Parker came out with the old man, she found a wheelchair for him. She looked outside the emergency room, and the one called Adeline had already left.

"Grandpa, you wait here, I'll go request leave and come back soon. Don't worry, everything will be fine."

Emily Parker glanced at the time; it was already 2 o'clock. She needed to go and request leave.

On her way back to the pharmacy, she happened to pass by the stairwell.

Several tall men in black, along with a scholarly-looking young man, were standing guard there.

As Emily Parker approached, the bodyguards' gazes swept over her like blades.

Emily perked up her ears and heard voices from inside.

A woman was sobbing and wailing.

"Young Master Carter, everything I said is true, the child in my belly is really yours."

Emily slowed down her pace, recognizing the voice as Adeline's, the internet celebrity she had encountered before.

In the stairwell, Carlos stood with his arms crossed, his face an icy mask.

Adeline sat terrified in a corner, her tears making her look pitiful, hoping to move Carlos with her tears.

"Do you really think I'm an idiot? The person who was with me in the cinema that night was definitely not you."

As she was about to walk away, Emily's heartbeat quickened when she heard this. Could it be that Carlos had also realized that it was her with him that night?

Emily remembered the footage from the surveillance cameras, that man with a face as if sculpted with an axe and chisel, unmistakably Carlos. Her heart leapt to her throat.

Carlos sneered, his gaze sharp as a knife, taking a quick glance at Adeline before averting his eyes.

She had such short legs, a thick waist, and breasts as fake as a cow's - a so-called big internet star. In his view, even a little nurse was far better than her.

Even in his most desperate or irrational moments, Carlos could never lower himself to desire Adeline.

Carlos remembered clearly: the woman who kept disturbing his dreams had long legs, a slender waist, and skin as translucent and delicate as the flesh of a lychee, irresistible to him, and it was definitely not Adeline.

"Speak, who put you up to this? Who is the woman who stole my seed?"

Carlos was gradually losing his patience.

"Young Master Carter, the child in my belly is truly yours, you have to believe me."

"You're still not giving up, huh? Fine, you say the child is mine, alright."

Upon hearing this, joy flickered across Adeline's face.

"Young Master Carter, are you really willing to acknowledge me and the child?"

"The child is too small to have a DNA test now, so I'll wait a few more months. Once it's formed enough, we will terminate it for a check. If the child is mine, I'll give you a sum of money for maintenance to ensure you never want for anything again. If the child is not mine, then don't blame me for making you lose both your lives."

Carlos's voice was cruel to the extreme.

Adeline was so frightened that her legs went weak, and she collapsed on the ground. At this moment, she was filled with regret for agreeing to target Carlos out of greed.

Everyone outside said that the Crown Prince of the Carter Family was fickle and tyrannical; Adeline had not believed it before.

She had been attracted to Carlos's handsome face.

It was not until this moment that she realized how naïve she was. Of all people to provoke, she had to provoke Carlos.

Outside, when Emily heard this, she also felt a bone-chilling coldness.

She involuntarily touched her own stomach, suddenly very grateful that Carlos would never find out that she was the one he was with on Valentine's Day night.

At this moment, not far away, Oliver Ross noticed Emily. He walked towards her, and Emily quickly lowered her head and headed toward the pharmacy.

In the stairwell, Adeline, crying, crawled to Carlos's feet, kowtowing and begging for mercy,

"Young Master Carter, I know I was wrong. I will make amends; I know who that woman is…"

"You know who she is?"

Carlos narrowed his eyes.

"I know... Master Carter, I'll tell you, please spare me."

Only after receiving an assurance from Carlos did Adeline dare to speak.

"Actually, I installed a pinhole camera in the private cinema; I've recorded everything."
