My fake husband

Wise choice

"Mom, you and Marvin go to the hospital first, I'll take care of this."

After a few seconds of contemplation, Portia finally made her decision.

"Portia, you must stand up for your brother, you must not let that beast go!" Carol said with hatred.

"Don't worry, I've got it under control." Portia nodded her head.

Then gesturing to the two security guards, he took Carol to the hospital.

" Teddy, what do you think about this?" Portia rubbed her temples and had a slight headache.

" It's clear enough that Henrique did the hitting and the security guards just saw it, there can't be a lie about that." Teddy said.

"But I know my mother very well ......" Portia wanted to say something.

She naturally had a good idea of what spirit her mother has and how brutal her brother was.

"No matter what, beating someone is wrong!"

Teddy said righteously, "Even if there was a misunderstanding, can't we just sit down and talk about it? Besides, Marvin is your brother, and the fact that he beat someone up like that without any consideration for your feelings is proof of his poor character!"

Portia wrinkled her brow, her suspicion growing.

Yes, even if her mother and brother were a bit spirited and rude, he couldn't hit someone and to do it so hard.

She had felt a little guilty before, but now it seemed that divorce was a wise choice.

"This is not a matter to be dismissed, it must be pursued to the end! If he dares to beat someone, then he has to pay the price!" Teddy said in a cold voice.

Portia, who was already upset, heard this and her anger increased.

Immediately, she took out her mobile phone and called Henrique ......

At this moment, inside a moving silver Bentley.

Henrique looked at the name on his phone and frowned slightly.

Eventually, though, he chose to pick it up.

"Henrique, I need a reasonable explanation!" Portia's tone was commanding as soon as she opened her mouth.

"About what?"

"I'm asking you, did you just hit my brother?"

"It was me. But ......"

Before Henrique could finish his sentence, he was forcibly interrupted by Portia: "So it was you! I really didn't expect you to be like that! Just because we have a divorce, you want to get back at my family?!"

At these words, Henrique could not help but freeze.

He didn't expect Portia to be so aggressive as soon as she opened her mouth.

Not even, not even asking for the reason.

After three years as husband and wife, was there even a little trust?

Even strangers wouldn't be like that, would they?

" Portia, am I that bad in your heart? All you know is that I beat people up, have you ever wondered why?" Henrique said in a deep voice.

"Whatever the reason is, it's not a reason for you to hit someone!" Portia was forceful.

At those words, Henrique smiled to himself.

Deep inside, there was complete disappointment.

Right or wrong, it didn't matter at this moment.

Portia clearly valued her brother more.

"Henrique, for the sake of our relationship, I'll give you a chance to make amends. You go to the hospital now, apologise to Marvin and I'll pretend this never happened, or else ......"

"Or what? Are you going to call the police and arrest me? Or are you going to get someone to deal with me?" Henrique snapped back.

"Henrique! Do you really have no regard for love at all and have to tear your face off?!" Portia barked.

"Love? Oh ...... Is there any love between us? I beat him up anyway, so you can take whatever revenge you want."

"You-"

Portia was about to snap, when Henrique simply hung up.

She was so angry she almost dropped her phone.

She had always managed her emotions well to get to where she was today.

But now, she was a little defensive.

"Henrique was being absolutely unfair. Do you want me to get someone to teach him a lesson?" Teddy said smoothly.

"No, what I owed him before, I'm kind of paying him back now."

Portia took a deep breath and forced down her anger.

"But ......"

Teddy was about to say something else, but Portia raised her hand to stop him, "All right, let's leave it at that, the most important thing right now is the LP group's charity gala."

"A charity gala? Is it something to do with the partners?"

"Yes, I've just received word that the LP group has shortlisted us for H&P. If we do well, we could be the new LP partners!"

"That's great, I'll get ready right away!"

..................................

The other side.

Henrique, who had hung up the phone, took Adelina's car all the way to Manhattan First Hospital.

After getting out of the car, the two of them sped along and eventually walked into a VIP ward.

At the moment, there was a thin, white-haired old man lying on a bed.

The old man's face was blue, his lips were purple, he was depressed and his breathing was weak, as if he was about to burst at any moment.

And around him stood several doctors.

It was just obvious from their stony faces that the patient's situation was very bleak.

"Sister! You've finally come back? These doctors are all trash, they're useless at all!"

At that moment, a pretty girl with a ponytail greeted her.

She was the second Miss The Jones, Elaine Jones.

"Ms Jones, we've done everything we can, gastric lavage, dialysis, irrigation, plus all kinds of medication, we've done everything we can, but it's always treating the symptoms but not the root cause." A doctor said helplessly.

"Since you guys can't, then let's switch to someone else and let this Mr. Lu come." Adelina said coldly.

"Henrique?"

The crowd froze and looked at Henrique next to them in a smooth manner, their expressions becoming a little odd.

It was because the person in front of them was too young and did not look like a powerful doctor at all.

"Sis! You're not kidding, are you? He's Mr Mars?"

Elaine said with a dismayed look on her face, "Look at his age, he's about the same as me, can he really do it?"

"You can't judge a man by his appearance, and since Adrian introduced him, he naturally won't be bad." Adelina said.

To be honest, she didn't have a clue either, but if she could get Adrian to recommend him highly, then there must be something outstanding about him.

"Adrian wouldn't have been tricked, would he?"

Elaine still had a suspicious look on her face, "Hey, who's that, you really know how to heal?"

"A little." Henrique said.

"Only a little?"

Elaine bristled disdainfully, "Do you know that the doctors who are in this ward are all renowned professors and experts in Manhattan, and even they can't do anything about it, and you dare to come in?"

"Elaine, don't be rude!" Adelina scolded.

"Sister! This guy looks unreliable, I'm worried, what if he kills Grandpa?" Elaine said.

"What are you talking about, you girl?" Adelina frowned slightly.

"I don't believe it anyway, unless, of course, he proves it to me!" Elaine held her head high.

"How are you going to prove it?" Henrique said faintly.

"First you'll see what ails me, and if you can tell me exactly what's wrong, I'll believe you!"

"You really want me to say it?"

"What? Are you afraid? If you're not capable, then please go back and don't waste your time here!" Elaine sneered.

Henrique said bluntly, "You have endocrine imbalance, menstrual disorders, and frequent headaches."

"In addition, you have eaten badly today, which has led to intestinal dysfunction, and in half a day, you have pooped at least six times!"

"Oh yes, and you have hemorrhoids ......"

At this comment, Elaine's expression instantly stiffened.
