Kevin and Ian were close, so of course he knew Bella and was aware of their ridiculous relationship.
Upon hearing what I said, he sighed, "We don't blame you. We just blame Ian for not being conscious!"
He took his gloves right off, walked over to the nurse's station, and dialed Ian's number with the telephone on the nurse's station.
I walked up in a hurry, feeling genuinely anxious.
The moment the call was answered, Kevin said sternly, "Carol has to be in surgery right now, and you're the only one who can sign the surgery paper for her. Where are you? Come to the hospital right now!"
The sound on the other side of the phone sounded noisy, and Ian seemed to be on his way to drive to the airport to catch up with Bella.
Ian didn't even take Kevin's words to heart.
"Since you're taking care of my mom in the hospital, what will happen to her?
"Audrey is acting up in front of me, but are you also messing around with her? Don't you know Bella is leaving today? If I don't catch up with her, I'll never see her again for the rest of my life!
"I missed her once five years ago, and I don't want to do it again this time. I know you're speaking for Audrey, but I don't want to live with a woman I don't love for the rest of my life. That's it. I have to drive, so I'm hanging up."
With nowhere to vent his anger, Kevin's eyes widened in disbelief that he couldn't believe that Ian wouldn't even listen to him.
For a split second, Kevin's eyes turned red with anger, and his heart kept beating violently.
He kept pressing the redial button with force.
But after Kevin redialed the phone over and over again, all that came was the sound of hanging up coldly.
The anger in his eyes gradually turned into disappointment.
Finally, he sighed helplessly.
He punched his fist on the desktop in vain.
I was on the verge of tears, begging the nurse on duty beside me to lend me her cell phone in order to contact Ian to sign.
The moment the call was answered, Ian heard my voice, and his tone instantly turned indifferent.
"Are you done? Have you finished making a scene? You knew Bella was leaving today, but you had to cause trouble today, didn't you?
"What can you do to me today if I don't go? We can get a divorce, and I've had enough of you being suspicious of me for a long time. If you touch my mom, I'll make you pay for it!"
Ian didn't give me a chance to explain, and he abruptly hung up.
I sneered sarcastically.
