The First Heir

Philip ran straight into the hospital. His face instantly paled when he saw Wynn lying in the hospital bed.

There were a few other people gathered in the room.

His mother and father-in-law, Martha and Charles, stared at Philip unpleasantly. They desperately wished for this good-for-nothing to disappear from their life forever.

Lynn and her parents were present in the room as well, each of them giving Philip an odd look as if he had committed a huge mistake while they muttered to each other under their breaths.

“How’s Wynn?” Philip asked as he jogged toward the hospital bed.

However…

Slap!

A crisp smack rang through the air.

Martha had slapped Philip across the face angrily. Her face turned red with anger as she set her frosty gaze on him. “How dare you show your face here again? Look what you did to Wynnie! I will never forgive you if anything happens to my daughter!”

Martha shrieked as she began throwing punches at Philip, venting all her anger and grievances on him.

Philip merely endured it. He did not fight back, nor did he move at all.

Charles cast Philip an indifferent look as he gently pulled Martha away. He turned to Philip and said in a reprimanding tone, “Philip, we Johnstons can’t tolerate you any longer. I think you and my daughter should get a divorce. You can go anywhere you want and do whatever you like, we won’t care anymore. You should bring Mila with you too. The two of you father and daughter should stop holding my daughter back. I asked you here to tell you this and nothing else. As long as you nod your head this instant, I’ll give you 500,000 for Mila’s medical bills. After all, she’s still partially the flesh and blood of the Johnston family.”

The room fell silent and the tension in the air thickened right after Charles finished talking.
