Chapter 950
Chapter 950:
He was angry—and jealous. He could never stay calm when it came to Annabel.
Seeing that Annabel didn’t seem to have any intention of saying anything, Rupert’s anger surged like a tide. He pointed at the door, frowned, and demanded in a low voice, “Did you fall in love with Rory? He took a bullet for you, so you fell for him, didn’t you p>
He was being completely unreasonable.
Annabel’s thoughts were a mess. Hearing his accusation, she lifted her head and looked at him blankly for a moment, then said helplessly, “Rupert, Rory is in surgery right now. We don’t know what could happen. Can you please stop causing trouble p>
“I’m causing trouble? He’s the one taking advantage of my absence p>
Rupert found her words almost funny.
He was her boyfriend. He had waited outside the restaurant for an entire hour, calling her again and again, and she never answered. She didn’t even call him back. And now, instead of meeting him, she was here with another man.
Annabel stayed silent.
The more Rupert acted like this, the less she wanted to explain anything. So much had happened lately, but this was life and death. How could Rupert still be arguing with her about Rory’s feelings while Rory was fighting for his life?

Gazing at Rupert’s furious expression, Annabel took a deep breath and tried to steady herself.
“No matter what’s happened, let’s talk after Rory’s surgery. It would be inappropriate for us to discuss our relationship while he’s fighting for his life p>
Despite his anger, Rupert had to admit she was right. He drew a slow breath, forcing himself to calm down before speaking.
“Fine. We’ll talk after Rory’s surgery. And you definitely owe me an explanation p>
Minutes passed. The operating room doors stayed shut, the sign above them still lit: “In Operation p>
Annabel’s nerves tightened with every second. She was also worried about the chaos unfolding on set, but her mind kept returning to Rory’s words. Beside her, Rupert paced back and forth down the corridor.
The space outside the ward was deathly quiet.
Two hours later, the indicator finally switched to green. Moments after that, the doctor stepped out.
At the sound of movement, Annabel spun around and rose from the bench. She hurried over and asked, “Doctor, how is Rory? How is he p>
