Rose resisted, defiantly retorting, "I'd love to drink your blood and eat your flesh right now!"
The man's face was calm as he slowly tightened his grip on Rose's neck with his hand.
Rose's face slowly turned red, and she frantically slapped the man's large hand while struggling to make a sound. "Bastard, let go of me!"
Elliot's face darkened, and he ignored her reaction. The force in his hand increased a few more notches.
Just as Rose feared this man was truly going to strangle her, his grip suddenly loosened, releasing her.
He squinted his eyes slightly, and his pupils were full of possessiveness.
"Rose, in this lifetime, you can never escape from me."
After leaving this domineering remark, Elliot turned around and walked out of the hospital room.
The four henchmen standing at the door watched him come out and respectfully bowed their heads, saying, "Mr. Harper."
"Watch her closely, if she tries to run, none of you will live."
The henchman standing at the door heard these words and responded expressionlessly, "Yes."
The man left without looking back, his tone cold as he uttered these words.
Rose in the ward stood frozen in place.
She had intended to grab the surveillance footage and leave, but she never expected... to be confined in the hospital by Elliot.
She had actually thought that if Elliot found out she was still alive, he might do something.
Unexpectedly, this man was so insane that he directly imprisoned her freedom.
On the other side, Elliot left the hospital and drove back to his villa alone, holding his breath while speeding on his car.
He was still wearing the same shirt from last night, the one with traces of Rose's blood on it.
Elliot, who came back to change clothes, didn't expect to run into a little girl sitting on the sofa as soon as he walked into the villa.
The little one's eyes lit up when he saw his scumbag dad come back, but then his eyebrows slightly furrowed.
Why are there bloodstains on the scumbag dad's clothes?
Did something unexpected happen last night?
Leah felt a small hand tighten by her side. She took a deep breath and took small steps towards her deadbeat father. Tentatively, she asked, "Uncle, why are you so dirty?"
"I'm fine."
Elliot thought the little one was concerned about her, and his tone unconsciously softened.
But before he could take two steps, that petite figure blocked him once again.
Elliot furrowed his brows and remained silent for a while before speaking in a calm tone.
"She is in the hospital."
Upon hearing these words, Leah's eyes immediately filled with panic.
How did Mommy end up in the hospital?
Did Mommy get hurt?
