Love at the Wrong Table - Season 5 Episode 98

Emmanuel thought Mackenzie was going to say that Sarah wasn’t a kind

person. To his surprise, she replied icily with a snort, “I’m worried that you’ll

lose control over yourself and get caught up in her beauty if you two get too

close together.”

“I’ll lose control over myself?” Emmanuel was startled by this reason. Come

on, I’m a gynecologist!

Mackenzie ignored his surprise right away. Letting out another snort, she

replied, “You’re always taking liberties with me and leching after me. Isn’t it

normal for me to be worried about this?”

but I

Emmanuel was rendered speechless. It’s true that I did lech after you,

absolutely never had that kind of desire for any other woman, nor do I have

any desire for Sarah, for heaven’s sake! That being said, it wasn’t really wrong

of his wife to say that, so he had no choice but to refrain from protesting his

Innocence.

“Sit down and take off your shirt!” ordered Mackenzie all of a sudden.

Emmanuel didn’t know what she was up to, but he nonetheless did as he was

told.

Mackenzie picked up the arnica cream and applied it to him with her fair

hand. She rubbed it pretty hard, but he put up with the pain nonetheless.

After all, he couldn’t ask too much of it when a woman as proud and aloof as

his wife was willing to put medicine on him.

“Why did you get into a fight again? Don’t tell me it was for Sarah?”

questioned Mackenzie.

“Of course not!” denied Emmanuel at once.

Only then did Mackenzie rub the cream more gently into his back.

Unexpectedly, Emmanuel continued, “I went to the Lenoir residence to see General Lenoir!”

“What? Are you out of your mind?” Startled, Mackenzie rubbed his back too

hard.

Emmanuel jumped up in pain. He turned around, saying, “Mackenzie, are you

putting medicine on me, or are you venting your anger on me? If you’re

upset, just hit me right away!” This is making me really uneasy! he thought.

Mackenzie didn’t stray away from the topic, though. She anxiously asked, “Did

they do this to you at the Lenoir residence?” It’s considered amazing for my

husband to be able to go to the Lenoir residence with a vendetta and come

back alive. That being said, the Quillens are no pushovers either. Emmanuel is

my husband; if he gets beaten up one–sidedly by the Lenoirs, I must seek

justice for him!

“Uh–huh.” Emmanuel nodded. “General Lenoir sent Mr. John and Mr. Lenoir to

take on me, saying that he would overlook this as long as I could beat them!”

“And you won?” asked Mackenzie nervously.

Emmanuel nodded.

A proud smile spread across Mackenzie’s face. My husband certainly can’t be

defeated by someone else, no?

Emmanuel then said, “But General Lenoir only said he would overlook what

happened to Tobias. He’s still going to hold the Quillens and me accountable

for Claudette’s death!”

He thought Mackenzie would get angry about this, but to his surprise, she

looked as if she had long predicted this. Actually, she had long known that

the Lenoirs working with the Newmans to bring down the Quillens by

commercial means was premeditated. It wasn’t at all because of the deaths

of both Claudette and Tobias; their deaths had merely given the Lenoirs a

justifiable excuse for what they did.

In reality, both she and Terence had long been aware of the Lenoir family’s

ambitious designs. Felicity had married into the Quillen family back then

because the Lenoirs had wanted to rise to prominence in the commercial

world on the coattails of the Quillens. This was why Terence had hardly given

Felicity any commercial holdings and property so far–he was preventing her

from siding with the Lenoirs. If she betrayed the Quillens and gave the

family’s business and profits away to the Lenoirs, it would be too late for the

Quillens to regret it!

Emmanuel didn’t know about Mackenzie’s identity until recently, so it went

without saying that he didn’t know so much information. Seeing that she

didn’t respond, he continued, “Claudette isn’t dead yet, and General Lenoir

promised me that he’ll stop targeting us as long as 1 can bring her back to

life! He made this promise in front of everyone. Surely, he can’t go back on it

as a military general, no?”

All at once, Mackenzie had surprise–and even a hint of disbelief–written all

over her face. “What? You want to save Claudette?”

Emmanuel nodded with determination. “It was because of us that she got

shot through by a bullet. I have to save her no matter what!”
