Chapter 1953

It was an island…

This sentence kept repeating in Martha’s mind.

‘What the heck? What island?’

“Philip, are you crazy? What nonsense are you talking about? Your home is an island? Are you kidding

me?”

Martha almost went crazy with anger. She pointed at Philip’s nose and flung all sorts of curses at him.

This damned son-in-law dared to spout such ridiculous words!

‘An island?’

Did he think she was uncultured and easy to deceive?

She was not a foolish young girl of 18 who would believe anything!

Philip snorted as he looked at Martha with a trace of disdain and said, “Do I need to lie to you?”

His words and the look in his eyes caused Martha’s heart to thump rapidly!

Could it be?

This brat’s home was really on an island?

A thought crossed Martha’s mind and she said mockingly, “Oh, I get it now. You must be a fisherman in

the coastal area. I heard that some fishermen have been living on the island for generations. Alas, I

heard that the living conditions of those fishermen are very poor. They don’t even have a decent house

on the island. I’m telling you, Philip, my daughter won’t go back with you to live in such a sh*tty place.

When Wynnie gets better, I’ll bring her back to Riverdale.”

Martha finally realized and snorted in disdain.

Philip shook his head and said blandly, “Feel free to think whatever. But I must bring Wynnie back with

me.”

With that said, Philip was about to leave.

Martha was anxious and quicldy said, “If you dare take Wynnie away, I’ll go with you. I just want to see

for myself what a sh*tty place this island of yours is! It’s best if Wynnie can give up on you and divorce

you sooner!”

Philip sighed helplessly and said, “I hope you won’t kneel and beg me to let you stay on the island

when the time comes.”

Hearing this, Martha laughed. She raised her eyebrows and shrugged as she said, “What did you say?

I’ll kneel and beg you? Hehe! Let me put it this way. If I ever kneel and beg you to let me stay on the

stinking island, I’ll sleep in a dog house!”

At these words, Philip turned around abruptly. He looked at Martha earnestly and said, “Okay, I’ll be

waiting for you to say those words.”

After that, Philip no longer paid attention to Martha and turned around to enter the ward.

Outside the ward, Martha was furious. She pointed at Philip’s back, smacked Charles several times,

and shouted, “Charles, what was up with you just now? Am I not your wife? Why didn’t you stop Philip

when you saw him treating me like that?”

Charles glared at Martha as he stood with his hands behind his back. He shook his head helplessly

and said, “You’re really asking for it this time. When Wynnie gets better, I’ll divorce you!”

With that said, Charles turned to leave. Martha immediately tugged his arm and yelled, “What are you

saying? You want to divorce me? How dare you turn your back on me?! How have I treated you all

these years? Charles Johnston, you’re simply ludicrous! How dare you treat me like this? Do you have

someone outside?”

Hearing this, Charles was furious. He threw his hands up and said, “You’re unreasonable! Simply

ridiculous!”

After that, he turned and walked into the ward.

Martha followed in a huff. Just after entering the ward, she saw Philip staring at her unkindly.

Martha quickly smiled. She then glared at Charles.

On the other hand, after Fulton spoke to the doctors and nurses, he walked to Philip and said, “Young

Lord, Fourth Madam has prepared the best doctors and nurses at home. The situation in Uppercreek is

a little tricky now, so I hope you can bring Young Madam back to the island immediately.”

Philip frowned upon hearing that and looked at the weak Wynn on the hospital bed. He asked, “Must

we leave now?”

Fulton nodded and said, “This is what the lord wants. Uppercreek is now different from before. Too

many people are watching in the dark. I must escort the both of you safely back to the island.”

Philip took a deep breath and walked to Wynn’s bed. He touched Wynn’s forehead gently and said,

“Wynnie, I’ll bring you home, okay?”

Wynn nodded weakly and whispered, “Okay…”

Immediately, Philip got up and said solemnly, “Let’s go back.”

Fulton got the order and immediately withdrew from the ward.
