Chapter 73

The crowd finally snapped out of it. Lucas stepped up to stop Oliver, "Dad, everyone's watching. This isn't a good look." Oliver snorted, his anger cooling off a bit.

"I didn't raise you right, letting you cause trouble all the time. Keep it up, and I'll beat you senseless." He straightened his suit, messed up from the scuffle, and stormed out of the ward, still fuming. Soon, the doctor showed up.

Seeing the chaos, the doctor was livid, "Who do you people think you are? This is a hospital, not a fight club."

He turned to the nurse, "Call the cops!"

Elodie quickly let go of Clara and shouted, "Don't call the police. I'm her mother. Family stuff shouldn't involve the cops."

If the police got involved, the Manners family's reputation would be toast.

The doctor was stunned, "So you let someone hit your daughter? What kind of mother are you?"

Elodie turned pale, too embarrassed to say anything.

The doctor, still fuming, told the nurse to clear the room and quickly moved Katniss to the bed for an exam.

After checking Katniss, the doctor thought for a moment. She'd been brought in by someone from Maximilian's side, and they seemed pretty concerned. Since she got hurt in the hospital, it was best to inform Maximilian to avoid any trouble. He whispered a few words to the nurse.

Looking at Katniss, beaten and barely hanging on, the doctor sighed.

What kind of family would let this happen in a room full of people?

Katniss was already weak and almost died. Instead of taking care of her, they beat her half to death. Was this her real father?
