Today, it was the grand alliance of the two largest influential families in New York City. The scene was spectacular, with a banquet hall spanning thousands of square meters decorated extravagantly and dreamily.
The host on the stage was ushering in the groom: "Now, let's welcome our handsome and charming groom, Mr. Alexander!"
As soon as the host's words faded, thunderous applause erupted from below the stage.
However, several seconds passed after the host's introduction, but the groom, who was supposed to make his entrance from one side of the stage, remained unseen.
Gradually, murmurs arose from the audience. The host on the stage calmly smiled, attempting to cover up this "minor accident".
After remaining composed for half a minute, the host also realized something was amiss and fell silent. Instantly, the banquet hall became much quieter.
At this moment, a sharp slap was heard from the backstage. The relatives and friends close to the stage had a clear view of what was happening backstage.
The groom, Alexander, was slapped by his mother, Grace. Immediately after, Alexander tore off the "Groom" badge on his left chest and turned around, striding away quickly.
Meanwhile, Emily was being escorted by Ethan, and the father and daughter were waiting at the backstage for the door to open and then make their entrance onto the stage that belonged solely to Emily tonight.
"Is Emily nervous?"
Ethan gently patted his daughter's arm with affection. Emily looked at her father somewhat embarrassedly.
Just as she was about to speak, suddenly they heard the voice of Alexander's mother, Grace, from behind:
"Alexander, come back here!"
Upon hearing Grace's voice, Emily subconsciously turned her head.
The moment she turned, she saw Alexander hurriedly passing by her.
When Alexander saw her, his expression changed slightly: "Emily, I'm sorry. Something happened to Lily. The wedding has to be postponed for a few days!"
Even as he said this, he didn't stop walking.
Upon hearing his words, Emily felt as if all her joy had been completely destroyed by a bucket of cold water he threw.
Earlier, when Ethan asked if she was nervous. Yes, she was. But it wasn't because she was about to marry Alexander. She was nervous because of what Lily texted her last night, that this wedding might not proceed smoothly!
Ethan's expression on the side was even more unpleasant. The wedding was about to start, and the banquet was filled with guests. Yet, Alexander left at this crucial moment!
Emily stood there, watching as Alexander's figure grew farther and farther away, and her entire body turned stiff and cold.
No!
She couldn't let Alexander leave!
Coming to her senses, Emily lifted the hem of her wedding dress and chased after him: "Alexander!"
She was wearing uncomfortable high heels that rubbed her feet with every step, as if someone was cutting her heel with a sharp knife.
But Emily didn't stop. She gritted her teeth and tried her best to catch up with Alexander.
The banquet was on the second floor. When Alexander reached the staircase, he paused upon hearing Emily's voice.
However, it was only a brief pause before he continued to walk out of the hotel quickly.
When Emily ran out of the hotel, Alexander had already crossed to the opposite side of the road.
Without a second thought, Emily instinctively chased after him.
Just as Alexander was about to get into the car, a shrill screeching of brakes was heard, followed by his mother's horrified scream: "Emily!"
Emily, dressed in a pure white wedding dress, was hit by a black car. Intense pain instantly spread from her calf.
Emily was knocked to the ground. Blood quickly seeped through the hem of her white wedding dress, and her arms were covered in abrasions. The once exquisite and beautiful Miss Emily was now in a sorry and pitiful state.
Emily struggled to sit up, leaning on the ground, biting her lip, and staring fixedly at Alexander who was standing beside the car.
She didn't speak, but her tear-filled eyes were filled with pleading.
Could you stay?
Can you choose me once first?
But despite this, Alexander across the street only looked at her for a moment, then lowered his eyes, avoiding her gaze, and leaned over to get into the car.
After Alexander got into the car, the black car quickly drove into the traffic.
Within two or three seconds, Emily could no longer see Alexander's car.
Under the dim streetlight, the blood-stained white wedding dress was a little too red.
Grace stood aside, her face was white with fear, she didn't dare to move Emily for fear of causing her secondary injuries.
"Emily, don't be afraid, I'll call an ambulance, I'll call an ambulance right away!"
At this time, Grace couldn't care about whether Alexander ran or not, she took out her mobile phone and hurriedly called the emergency number.
Ethan rushed over, saw Emily collapsed on the ground, his face went white, and his opening voice was tinged with a tremor, "Emily, how are you doing?"
He also didn't dare to touch his daughter, a man in his fifties, his eyes were red with anxiety at this time.
Emily raised her hand and pulled her father's arm, the pain drilling at her calf made her face white as paper, she looked at Ethan, her reddened eyes didn't hold back the tears, "Daddy, I'm in so much pain-"
It hurt, her calf hurt, and her heart hurt!
Ethan had never seen Emily cry, and now that he saw his baby girl cry out in pain, he hated the fact that the person who was hit was himself!
"Emily don't be afraid, Daddy's here, Daddy's here!"
He carefully leaned over and hugged Emily, but Emily couldn't hold on, shouted "Daddy" and directly fainted.
Emily was hit lightly, was sent to the hospital after the night rescue more than eight hours before coming out of the operating theatre.
But despite this, Emily's life is still in danger, forty-eight hours of danger still can not wake up, if she will not wake up in the future, there is no possibility of waking up.
When Ethan learnt the news, he almost couldn't hold back from fainting.
His wife died early, leaving Emily such a precious daughter, today was supposed to be a great day, but because of Alexander's escape from the wedding and caused today's situation!
Looking at Alexander's family, Ethan no longer had his usual warmth, "Get out! Get out of here, all of you!"
He directly kicked them out, leaving only Emily's friend Sophia inside the ward.
Sophia, as a bridesmaid, had been at the wedding with the other bridesmaids, and by the time she realised something was wrong, Emily had already been taken to the ambulance.
She did not understand, a good wedding, her Emily, how to become like this!
Alexander, did he, or did he not have a heart!
Grace and Benjamin were driven out of the hospitalisation building by Ethan, looking at Ethan's back, Benjamin finally couldn't help himself, "Where is Alexander?"
Mentioning Alexander, Grace's face was also ugly.
Tonight, if Alexander hadn't run away, Emily wouldn't have been in trouble.
Grace didn't know what kind of ecstasy her son had been drugged with by that Lily, and actually left on such an important day without a care in the world.
After something like this, the two families became the joke of New York City.
The most tragic than Emily, the night of the wedding, are about to step on the red carpet on the stage to hold the ceremony, the groom Alexander but regardless of the escape of the wedding.
Alexander fled this move, undoubtedly will be Emily pushed to the most embarrassing situation.
Emily woke up the next morning, she opened her eyes, saw Sofia lying on the side of the bed, tried to move, but found herself wrapped in gauze all over the body.
The only good thing about her was her hands.
Emily saw her mobile phone beside her and, fighting back the pain, she reached for it and tapped the screen, only to find no messages whatsoever.
The phone suddenly shook and a local message pushed into her eyes "A marriage between powerful families, Alexander chooses to run away from his heart and boards a plane that night in search of his beloved ......"
