Since Ewan insisted on discussing the engagement in front of both families, Hailey decided to be just as direct. She wasn't going to marry him, and now everyone would know it.
Sally knew Ewan was in the wrong, so she turned to him with hesitation. "Ewan, this…"
Ewan looked at Hailey. He wasn't surprised by her rejection.
"Hailey, I know I messed up. I was young and reckless, but I've changed. I just realized that I really love you. Please, just give me one more chance. I swear I'll treat you better."
Hailey almost laughed. Late-blooming love meant nothing to her—if someone truly cared, they wouldn't have left her in the first place.
No one was obligated to wait forever. Once they were over, it was over.
Hailey began, "Ewan, we—"
Before she could finish, Miranda's phone rang. She checked the screen and said, "Hailey, it's your dad."
Lately, James had been especially busy. Despite being a respected figure in the arts, he had taken on the burden of managing the Lamberts' business empire. It wasn't what he loved, but it was his duty—especially since Hailey, an only child, preferred the world of fashion design over corporate leadership.
"Mom, you should answer the call," Hailey said.
"Alright."
Miranda answered the call. Whatever she heard on the other end made her shoot to her feet, and she widened her eyes with shock.
"What did you say?"
Hailey stood up abruptly. "Mom, what happened to Dad?"
"Hailey… your dad's been hospitalized."
Her face went pale. "What? How did that happen? We need to go now!"
"Okay," Miranda responded.
Then, she turned to Sally and said, "Mrs. Shaw, we need to get going first."
Then, Hailey left Atlas Hotel with Miranda.
As Ewan watched Hailey's graceful figure disappear down the corridor, he smirked. "You'll come to me, Hailey. Sooner or later, you will."
…
Hailey and Miranda rushed to the hospital as fast as they could.
When they arrived at the room, they saw James lying in bed.
He was dressed in a hospital gown, with thick bandages wrapped around his forehead. Spots of blood had already started to seep through.
Miranda hurried to his side and asked, "Darling, what happened? How did you get hurt?"
"Dad, what happened to you?" Hailey asked, concerned.
James replied, "I told my assistant not to inform you. Why are you both here?"
