Valeria didn't flinch at all.She looked at him and said, "I said I'm not going!"
Seeing Valeria, who was stubborn, Ronald was so angry that he raised his arm and was about to slap
her face.
Valeria immediately took a step back to avoid his slap.
Valeria's attempt to dodge had agitated Ronald further and he tried to hit her once again.She did not
fight back because he was her dad , but it did not mean that she would stay still to get hit by him.
Valeria dodged him when she saw that Ronald was chasing to hit her. Unfortunately, Ronald stepped
on the puddle of water from the glass that he threw and fell hard on the ground.
He moaned in pain when the broken pieces of the glass stabbed into his palms.
Valeria was startled by his cry.
She looked over and saw blood on Ronald's left palm.She stopped running and turned to help Ronald
immediately.
He then took the chance to slap Valeria with his right hand angrily.
Never was it in Valeria's mind that one day her dad would slap her.
In fact, the slap was so hard that half of her face was numbed.
She touched her face and looked at Ronald, "How could you slap me “
"You filthy daughter, how did I even raise you?"
Ronald cursed and shouted at her.
"If I had known that you were this stone-hearted, I would have killed you from the very beginning.You
won't even be living here on earth."
After listening to the words from her very own father, Valeria was heartbroken and disappointed.
Despite that, as she saw the body fluid flowing down from his palm, she suppressed her feelings and
said, "I'll take you to hospital."
Ronald was badly injured.
Reaching this age of his, anxiety filled him up as he looked at the amount of blood there.
That was why he allowed Valeria to send him to the hospital.
As Valeria was helping him to the door, he continued to scold and lecture her.
In the car, William was about to give Marcus a call.
However, when he saw Ronald and Valeria, he was shocked.He got off the car and asked, "What
happened?"
"There was an accident.My dad is injured.We need to bring him to the hospital now."
Valeria said hurriedly as William made space for Ronald to get into his car.
At the same time, his eyes landed on Valeria's cheek, "What happened to your face?"
He asked with a serious look.
"Uhm..." Valeria stammered.
Sitting in the car, Ronald said angrily, "I slapped this b*tch! How dare she go against me? A slap is
probably not even enough!"
William's blood boiled after hearing that.
He turned around and met Ronald's eyes.
Then, Ronald immediately kept quiet as he saw the fire in William's eyes.
Even Valeria was surprised by the look on William's face.
She held William's arm and said, "It's alright.Let's send him to the hospital first."
"Okay!"
William held Valeria’s hand and got into the car.
Seeing that Ronald's hand was bleeding non- stop, for the sake of Valeria, he handed a towel to
Ronald, "Wrap your hand with this!"
"Wrap? Don't you see that it's full of glass? Are you trying to kill me?" Ronald had riled up once again.
Before William replied, Bobby, the driver, turned around and said, "Watch your mouth! He is not
someone whom you can talk to him that way."
Bobby's threatening look made Ronald shut his mouth immediately.
Bobby was extremely furious after hearing what did Ronald do to Valeria.
How could he hit his own precious daughter? Not only did he hit her, he even had the guts to talk to
William in that manner.
If it weren't for Valeria and William, Bobby would have given him a lesson.
Just after they arrived at the hospital, Ronald was sent to the operating room to be attended instantly.
The mark on Valeria's cheek hurt William so much that his heart almost stopped for a moment.
He asked her, "Does it hurt? I'll get the doctor to bring an ice pack for you."
"It's nothing.My skin isn't that thin.It'll recover soon."
"Just listen to me.Bobby will stay here.Let me bring you to the doctor” William pulled Valeria before she
could even say anything.
Bobby, who was the only one outside the operating room, called a nurse over and whispered
something to her.The nurse nodded and went in to talk to the doctor.
After hearing what the nurse said, the doctor sterilized Ronald's wound with some alcohol.
It was so painful that Ronald shouted loudly.
Not only that, the doctor was not even careful during the process of taking the pieces out from Ronald's
palm.
The pain was so unbearable for Ronald that he almost passed out from it.
On the other side, Valeria heard all the moaning and shouting when she came back.
She then rushed to the room and she wanted to see what happened.
Bobby stopped her and said, "They are in process of sterilization.Don't worry, he'll be out soon."
"Oh, I see.I thought something happened to him! It's all my fault, I should've just let him hit me and not
run away."
As Valeria was blaming herself, there was a look of coldness on William's face.
William was extremely pissed off when hearing about the way Ronald treated his princess.
Ronald was still being harsh to Valeria even though she had been very gracious to him.
It was obvious that Ronald never treated her as his own daughter.
After his wound was being treated, the doctor decided to give Ronald some infusions as he was afraid
that the wound might inflame over time.
It was totally not Ronald's day.
The business cooperation was canceled and he was sent to the hospital.
It was all because of Valeria.
Ronald was extremely irritated.
He wanted to scold Valeria to vent his anger, but seeing William there, he did not dare to do so.
He had never suffered in that way in his entire life before.
Looking at Valeria, he was frustrated and annoyed.
To him, Julie and her daughter were much better than that.
He grumpily told Valeria, "Just leave! I'll be fine"
"I'll stay here with you.Are you hungry? Shall I get something for you”
"I'm good.I'll just let my assistant look after me"
Ronald replied impatiently, "Just leave.Don't disturb me."
Valeria knew how badly Ronald wanted her to leave and said, "Alright then, I'll call your assistant and
ask him to come right now."
As Valeria called the assistant, William nudged and mouthed to her about their plan to Australia.
Valeria hesitated for a while and said, "Dad, I'll be travelling abroad for a few days."
"Travel abroad? What for? I asked you to go and meet Hardy..."
Ronald's words stuck at the back of his throat after meeting William’ s cold eyes.
He waved his hand and said, "Ok, fine! Just do whatever you want!"
