The Cherished Wife (Noelle and Charles) novel Chapter 787

Mateo nodded and helped Clarisse up from the floor, but her gaze remained fixed on Henry. Mateo frowned slightly but said nothing.

After somehow managing to subdue Janet, Henry led them all to the hospital in the middle of the night.

Sean had just finished an operation when he received a call from Mateo summoning him to the hospital.

Seeing Mateo's arm wrapped in bandages, Sean was surprised. "Mr. Mateo, what happened?" He rubbed his eyes, clearly exhausted from back-to-back surgeries. He did not expect to see the Hoffmans at the hospital during New Year's.

Sean narrowed his eyes. "Is Charles here too?"

Mateo shook his head. "No, he's not."

"Then, what brings you here?"

"Do you have any mental health specialists in your hospital?" Mateo sighed. "To be honest, this isn't much of a secret. You've known Charlie since you were kids, so you should be familiar with certain things."

Despite his exhaustion, Sean's eyes gleamed with curiosity. There was a faint smile playing on his lips. "I know quite a bit about Charles. What exactly are you referring to, Mr. Mateo?"

"Janet."

Sean understood immediately. "She's here at the hospital?"

Mateo briefly explained Janet's condition. "It's the festive season, and we can't go to a public hospital, especially since she injured someone. I had no choice but to bring her here. She's from the Bakers, after all. We have to maintain some semblance of dignity."

Sean nodded. "Understood, Mr. Mateo. Please wait a moment." He made a quick call to the hospital's psychiatric department and then asked Mateo again, "Are you the only one here?"

"No, Clarisse is here too. She's injured and resting in a ward."

At that moment, Henry arrived with some paperwork. "The admission process is complete, Mateo. What now?"

"You head back. I'll stay and handle things here," Mateo replied while taking the paperwork. He turned to Sean. "I hope you can keep this matter confidential."
