She was silent, her breathing ragged and sharp.
Charles Reed tossed the whip aside and ordered in a low voice, "Take her to the hospital."
A bodyguard stepped forward, yanked Chloe Reed up, and dragged her out.
Chloe Reed didn’t even have the strength to struggle. The slightest movement sent a sharp pain through her back.
By the time she was placed in the car, her head was spinning.
Meanwhile, the bodyguards secretly following Chloe Reed witnessed the scene, their eyes widening in shock. They immediately scrambled to call Walker Grant.
...
At the hospital, the strong smell of disinfectant hung in the air.
Charles Reed pushed open the door to the hospital room and saw Sunny Reed lying on the bed, with Autumn Linton sitting beside her, peeling an apple.
"Dad, what are you doing here so late?"
Sunny Reed was very surprised to see him.
Charles Reed said in a low voice, "I brought Chloe here to apologize to you."
Sunny Reed froze for a moment, then quickly said, "There’s no need. I know my sister didn’t do it on purpose. I’m fine..."
But before she could finish, she saw Chloe Reed being dragged in by the bodyguards.
She gasped and reflexively stood up. "Sister..."
"Oh my god!" Autumn Linton cried out when she saw the scene. The apple in her hand fell to the floor. She rushed forward to support Chloe Reed, anxiously checking on her. "What happened?"
Then, she saw the wounds on Chloe Reed’s back. Her gaze shot up to Charles Reed, her voice trembling. "You... you hit Chloe?"
With a grim expression, Charles Reed sat down in a chair and said, "She was disobedient. She deserved to suffer a little."
Autumn Linton’s face was filled with heartache and worry. "How could you hit a child? Couldn’t you have just talked to her properly?"
She asked, her heart aching for her, "Chloe, does it hurt a lot? Mom will go get a doctor for you."
