Chapter 343 343: I Will Stay Here

Roy turned to look at Fredrick, who had just arrived at the hospital. As he saw Fredrick, his expression turned sharp and annoyed. Irish's stiff shoulders quivered, which Joseph sensitively noticed. Joseph was very concerned about her.

Irish stood up slowly and looked directly at Fredrick, ignoring Joseph. Fredrick was still wearing his work clothes. Obviously, he had come directly from the Institute and didn't change his clothes. He staggered in, followed by Professor Tim. Professor Tim felt embarrassed and helpless when Cassie's mother ran to Fredrick and questioned him.

When he saw Irish, he immediately stopped.

Irish's eyes were red, and she gritted her teeth. She was the one who called Fredrick on the way to the hospital. Fredrick's voice sounded weak on the phone, but it was not her focus. She just shouted into the phone," Fredrick! You know what? Cassie tried to commit suicide. What on earth is wrong with you? You'd better get over here as soon as possible and explain!"

She had never treated Fredrick in this way before. She had never shouted at him. She didn't know what had happened to them during her vacation, but Cassie's desperate action proved that it had something to do with him. Like Cassie's parents said, Fredrick hadn't been around once during Cassie's sick leave.

Joseph also had not expected Irish's reaction. As he was trying to persuade her, Irish suddenly ran to Fredrick, so he just reached out to try and grab her. As Fredrick saw Irish coming towards him, he felt more upset.

Irish grabbed his collar, and with a quivering but clear voice, she asked, "Fredrick, what happened between you two?"

Professor Tim was totally at a loss and looked embarrassed behind Fredrick. He thought that Fredrick was going to get married to Cassie. Although he didn't think that they were perfectly matched, he didn't object to his decision. However, when Fredrick stopped mentioning the issue of marriage, he realized that they had broken up after asking. Upon hearing this news, he felt both angry and helpless.

There were many things to deal with in his Institute, so he had asked Fredrick to help him. As they were busy with their work, Fredrick received a call from Irish. Her hysterical shouting shocked Fredrick and made him come directly to the hospital.

Fredrick avoided Irish's eyes but still felt her angry gaze like a knife cutting into his face. He didn't answer Irish's question but nervously asked, "How is she?"

"Fredrick. You need to answer my question!" Irish didn't give him an opportunity to escape.

Fredrick had no way of avoiding it and had to say, "I...broke up with her."

They were all shocked, except Professor Tim.

Irish shouted crazily, "Fredrick, aren't you two getting married? Why did you break up with her? Don't you know how much she loves you? You should think about it earnestly. She told me that you bring her so much happiness!" She pulled him to the door of the emergency room and pointed inside, "So this is the way you bring her happiness?"

"Irish..." Fredrick looked at her. He didn't know what to say or how to answer her.

Irish looked at him, gritting her teeth, "Fredrick, if anything happens to Cassie, I will never forgive you! You are so irresponsible! Why did you break up with her?"

Fredrick had no way of defending himself since he couldn't tell her the real reason, so he frowned and didn't answer.

"You don't have an answer? Okay. Let me ask you. Who proposed to get married?" Roy asked coldly.

Fredrick took a deep breath, "It was me."

As soon as he spoke, Roy threw his fist at him. Joseph quickly pulled Irish to his chest as Roy hit Fredrick in the face as hard as he could.

Fredrick didn't see it coming and fell to the floor.

Roy grabbed him by the collar and hit him again. Professor Tim walked forward immediately to intervene, but Cassie's mother blocked him. She shouted, "Aren't you a professor? You could have stopped this!"

Cassie's father quickly stopped them.

Fredrick was hit again and started fighting with Roy in retaliation. Joseph walked forward several steps and pulled them apart, shouting angrily, "Enough, both of you! Cassie is still in there!"

Fredrick stepped back and rubbed the blood from the corner of his mouth.

Roy pushed away Joseph's arms, still staring at Fredrick with hatred in his eyes. Fredrick looked up at the emergency room light with regret but felt even more upset when he saw Irish's gaze. He had never seen this expression on her face before, so cold and angry.

Cassie's mother rushed toward and drove Fredrick away, "Go away! Cassie doesn't want to see you again!"

"We'd better wait to hear about Cassie's condition quietly" Professor Tim walked forward. The disturbance in the hallway had aroused many people's attention.

Cassie's mother aggressively responded, "Go away! You two are terrible! Fredrick, are you a real man? My daughter has been with you for so many years, and you still broke up with her. What is my daughter worth in your eyes? Cassie will never forgive you!" Cassie's mother pushed Professor Tim's hands away and shoved Fredrick with all of her strength.

Fredrick was annoyed. He had used up all of his energy fighting Roy, and finally, he was pushed into the corner by Cassie's mother.

Cassie's father pulled his wife aside and comforted her, "Don't let him bother you. Cassie will be okay."

Then he took his wife away.

Professor Tim came forward and sighed helplessly, "Fredrick. It would be best if you took responsibility for this issue. Cassie is in danger. As a man, you should help her as much as possible!"

Fredrick looked defeated, closing his eyes tightly and nodding. Then, after a while, he said, "Sorry, Dad, you go back to the Institute. I will stay here."

Professor Tim loved his son, and he nodded his head, "Okay."

As Professor Tim left, they were divided into two camps in the corridor.

One camp surrounded the door of the emergency room, while the other camp, which was only Fredrick, sat in the corner alone. There was a sizable distance between them. They all waited silently while the emergency room light remained on.
