Upon reaching the hospital, I noticed a crowd of cops outside the ward. I snorted, silently cursing at the embarrassing situation. They were making things too obvious.
As I approached the door, Adrian emerged from inside.
"How is he?" I inquired.
"He's better now. They gave him a sedative," Adrian replied.
"Is he awake or still sleeping?" I assumed he'd be asleep after being sedated.
Adrian whispered, "They gave him a small dose. He’s awake, but he's calm now."
Hearing this, I stepped inside.
There were two cops in the room, keeping a watchful eye on him. Matthew, with a deathly pale face, turned toward me. When he saw me, he completely broke down, crying like a child.
I walked to him, towering over him. I finally said, "What's this? You don’t want to live anymore?"
Seeing him cry like this stirred a strange feeling in me. No matter how much hatred there was, when the other person became vulnerable, we still could not bear to see them suffer.
I had no remaining emotions for Matthew. He had hurt me and deceived me too deeply. Even without Atlas, I wouldn't have the slightest affection left for him.
But witnessing his current state, I couldn't help but admit that I felt a tinge of sadness.
The Murphy family had reached the point of bankruptcy. Once hailed as an inspirational figure, this person had fallen to such depths, and only he knew how it happened.
I was sure that he must be regretting everything deeply at this moment.
Despite his tall height, he looked like an abandoned child, crying in such a pitiful manner that it left me speechless.
As I uttered those words, the two cops looked at me cautiously. "Madam, please be more considerate. After all, he is a patient."
Atlas appeared somewhat displeased. He exited the room and, upon reentering, addressed the two cops, "Please leave for a moment."
