He pressed his lips tightly together and went to handle the hospitalization procedures.
Carlos stood still, not saying a word, but he looked deeply at Emily Parker, his gaze complex and unreadable.
Then, with a stern face, he turned and left in large strides, each step heavy and urgent, as if he was trying hard to suppress the tumultuous emotions within him.
Maria Carter had been nervously observing the situation from the side. Seeing her brother in such a state, she was filled with worry.
She couldn't afford to think too much. She quickly ran after him, calling out,
"Brother, wait for me!"
Emily watched in the direction Carlos left, sighed softly, and finally took the opportunity to express her stance to Mrs. Carter,
"Mom, I can't accept the shares you're giving me."
Her tone was gentle yet firm.
