Chapter 212: Sent For Testing
Amelia sucked in a quick breath as Matteo’s face immediately darkened. Even Emmeline seemed worried― and why wouldn’t she be? She had known Matteo for years, enough to know how much he yearned for his missing mother.
"Get out," Matteo growled out, his eyes glinting with vehement hatred. Catherine took a quick step back as Matteo’s shadow seemed to grow wider before her very eyes.
"Why should I?" Catherine said with a huff. "I have every right to be here." She then turned to Amelia, her eyes cold. "If there’s anyone who should leave, it should be this homewrecker. I am your stepmother, Matteo, and the godmother of Emmeline. As a family member, I have the right to keep my beloved goddaughter company."
"Homewrecker?" Matteo echoed, scoffing. He coldly laughed. "You of all people have no right to speak of such things. It’s nice that you know my mother is gone― perhaps you would also like to recall why it is that she is."
Matteo then harshly glared at Doctor Jules, all but sneering in the man’s direction.
"Weren’t you taking the samples to the lab?" he asked, his tone leaving no room for the others to pipe in. "What are you doing standing around here for? Is this a theater? I didn’t realize I had joined Broadway."
"Patients are not allowed in the lab," Doctor Jules forced out the words through gritted teeth.
"Whyever not?" Matteo questioned. "Who’s the hospital director here? I am sure some arrangements can be made."
"There are records of other patients in the laboratories, and the area must be sterile. Even I wouldn’t be able to enter its premises," Doctor Jules argued. "With all due respect, Mr. Montgomery, we can’t just let you in there just because you have money to throw around."
