Chapter 86

Meanwhile, Joaquin continued to stand in place for a few more moments until he was surprised to realize just how well Katherine knew Beatrice's condition. Just as he was about to ask her something more, his phone rang. He then took a look at his phone and saw a phone call from the hospital, thinking it could be about Beatrice. Thus, he answered the call while making his way to the exit. "What's the matter?"

"Mr. Levisay, Miss Muller just tried to commit suicide."

An hour later, Joaquin returned to the hospital once again, just as Beatrice's rescue was over. However, she appeared to be unconscious because of the sedation effects. As soon as Joaquin walked in the door and saw the lady, he knitted his eyebrows and turned his attention to the doctor with an intimidating look. "Why did she try to kill herself?"

"Miss Muller was devastated after she learned that she must have her legs amputated. So, as soon as the nurse looked away, she smashed her drip bottle into pieces and grabbed one of the shards to slit her wrist. Fortunately, we were able to discover that and rescue her just in time." Wesley appeared to be covered in a cold sweat at the thought of what he had seen earlier.

"I see." Joaquin pursed his lips, his face darkening. In the meantime, Wesley, the doctor, and the nurse walked out of the ward, leaving Joaquin alone with Beatrice.

Ten minutes later, Theodore came to the hospital after being informed about his granddaughter's condition. The moment he saw Beatrice, he felt a stab of pain in his chest as his disappointment toward her was replaced by sympathy. Then, he went on to greet Joaquin and sat down next to the latter. As the professor's face was written with exhaustion, he seemed like he had aged ten years older.
