Chapter 1754 Mrs. Stone's face turned grim.
Moments later, a nurse stepped forward and pulled her away, allowing Karina to enter the hospital room.
Her eyes fell on the bed, and she froze. "Kieran, you're awake?" Karina stared at him, her face a mixture of surprise and confusion. It was baffling that no one in the hospital had mentioned he had regained consciousness, especially with nurses assigned to watch over him.
Wilfred's expression grew colder as he glanced at the nurse behind him. "Who was on duty?" The nurse lowered her head. "It was Mandy..." "She's fired. Tell her not to cback," Wilfred said bluntly, leaving no room for discussion.
No one dared to speak up.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtKieran's eyes flickered with panic but quickly settled into feigned composure. He sneered and turned the blon her. "What are you doing here? Haven't you done enough to ruin me? This is a hospital, Karina. Don't do anything stupid." He shot a glance at Wilfred, his tone dripping with mockery. "If someone ends up dead, don't think your little pretty boy will be able to protect you," Kieran sneered.
Karina's temper snapped. "Watch your mouth, Kieran. If you don't know how to speak respectfully, I'd be happy to teach you." "Oh, so you've got the guts to talk back tonow? You've gotten bold, haven't you?" Kieran said, his expression growing darker and more menacing.
Wilfred ignored the argument and instructed the nurses to prepare for the test.
Karina, not wanting to waste words, said coldly, "Get up. You're taking the test." Naturally, Kieran refused, leaning back lazily. "And why should I cooperate? If you wantto take the test, fine- you'll have to serve me. You've done it plenty of times when we were kids, haven't you?" Karina glared at him, her grip tightening on the test tube in her hand as she fought the urge to shove it down his throat.
Disgusted, she took a deep breath to calm herself.
Before she could react, Wilfred stepped forward, grabbing Kieran with a firm grip.
"What are you doing? Letgo!" Kieran yelled, thrashing against him. "I'm a patient! Is this how you treat patients?" Wilfred didn't respond. Instead, he dragged Kieran to the bathroom and locked the door from the outside.
Inside, Kieran banged furiously on the door, shouting curses.
Wilfred's voice was calm but icy. "If you want to cout, use the bathroom and cooperate." Kieran cursed and yelled for a while longer, but when it becclear no one would let him out, he finally gave in. The nurse collected the urine sample and sent it for testing.
When Wilfred unlocked the door and let Kieran out, his expression was calm and indifferent, giving no bint of the forceful actions he had just taken moments ago.
Karina's expression softened slightly as she looked at him.
It was a small shift, barely noticeable, but something inside her seemed to stir. Perhaps this moment wouldn't mean much now, but over time, it could lead to a significant change.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe test results cback quickly.
Karina glanced at them, and just as Wilfred had suspected, the results were as expected. To be thorough, they also conducted a blood test, which confirmed the sfindings.
Wilfred's gaze shifted to Karina. "You can confront him now."
Karina gave a faint, bitter smile, the thought of confrontation no longer e. crossing her mind.
The truth was already laid bare. What was the point of asking questions? Everything she had given was gone and could never be reclaimed. "Call the police," she said decisively, setting the lab reports down.
For the first tin dealing with the Stones, Karina made a choice without hesitation.
Wilfred raised an eyebrow, slightly surprised by her resolve.
But he said nothing and made the call. When the The police arrived, they collected the lab reports as evidence.
