Miranda curled up into a ball and exclaimed with her hair in a mess, “I’m sorry, Christina! Will you please forgive me? D–Don’t kill me!”
“You two, hold her still!” Christina ordered coldly.
Fearing for their lives, the nurses quickly complied and grabbed Miranda on each side.
Christina then proceeded to give her a taste of her own medicine by slapping her repeatedly across the face.
“No! Stop hitting me! Stop it, I’m begging you!” Miranda pleaded desperately, but Christina showed mercy whatsoever.
d no
Because she was hitting Miranda on both checks, it wasn’t long before the latter’s face was all swollen.
Not only was she bleeding profusely, but she could also barely breathe.
- up.
Miranda was weakened so much by the beating that she slumped to the ground the moment the nurses let go of her.
“You b*tch! My cousin owns this psychiatric hospital! If you kill me, he’ll definitely come after you!” she yelled weakly.
Oh, that explains why the medical staff here would obey her commands. It’s because she has connections with the person running this place! Not that I care, though! Anyone who dares lay a finger on my mother will pay twice as
much!
With that in mind. Christina gave Miranda a hard kick before picking Sharon up.
Suddenly, Christina felt a sharp sting on the right side of her neck and saw the world around her start to spin.
Oh no! I let my guard down!
The last thing Christina saw upon turning around was a middle–aged man in a doctor’s coat leering at her before she passed out.
“You sure are bold coming here all by yourself!”
That middle–aged man was none other than Miranda’s cousin, whom she had mentioned just now. He frowned when he saw the state Miranda was in and had the nurses send her back to the Steele residence.
He then waited until everyone had left the ward before shifting his gaze toward Christina.
She has got pretty face, fair skin, and rosy lips… Heh, looks like I’ve struck gold today!
He then carried Christina onto the bed and tore open her shirt collar to expose her sexy collarbones.
The man then quickly took his white coat off and began unbuckling his belt.
Bam!
The door was kicked open all of a sudden. A group of bodyguards came rushing in a second later and restrained him on the spot.
“Who are you people? I own this place! Get out of here right this instant!” the man yelled angrily, only to have one of the bodyguards punch him in the face.
The man fell to the floor with a loud thud and spat out a broken tooth.
“Y–You thugs! I’m calling the police!” the man screamed even louder than before.
“I’m surprised you have the audacity to say that after what you’ve done!” the bodyguards snapped back at him as they stepped forward and beat him up.
The ward was filled with the sounds of his anguished screams and bones snapping.
The first thing Nathaniel did upon entering the ward was have the bodyguards take Sharon to a hospital.
His eyes filled with rage when he saw Christina lying there unconscious with her shirt ripped open.
Nathaniel then covered Christina up with his coat before scooping her into his arms.
The bodyguards stopped their beating and waited for his orders. The man had several broken bones and was bleeding from his mouth.
“Break his bones and get rid of this hospital.”
I can’t imagine what would happen to me had Nathaniel not shown up in time! I thought he would scold me for that stunt I pulled, but he’s comforting me gently instead…
