Chapter 109

Ellen shrank back, her voice trembling, "Why are you so mad? Saskia couldn't handle the divorce, so she jumped. It was her own decision. Once she's divorced, she's not part of the Scott family anymore. I'm just being nice, checking on her. I'm

telling you, Saskia's suicide has nothing to do with Kieran!"

"Getting divorced and then trying to kill herself? Is she trying to force Kieran to remarry her? So vicious, she might as well be dead," she added.

Katniss suddenly looked up, her eyes cold as ice. She stepped up to Ellen, grabbed her collar, and said, "If Saskia dies, I'll make sure he spends the rest of his life rotting in prison."

Ellen was almost speechless, trembling, "What did you say?"

"Doctor, the patient is in critical condition." Suddenly, the operating room door flew open, and a young nurse rushed out, shouting in a panic.

Katniss let go of Ellen and bolted into the operating room, locking the door behind her, "Conrad, block the door. No one gets in!"

The nurses and doctors outside were stunned, their faces pale. They pounded on the door, "What are you doing? Come out! If you mess around, we'll call the police!"

While pounding on the door, the doctor told the nurse to call the police and get security.

Just as the nurse was about to call, Conrad stopped her. Towering and stern, he said, "Stay here. No one leaves."

"Who are you? This is a hospital, not a place for your antics," the doctor snapped, "The patient inside is in critical condition. If something happens, will you take responsibility?"

Conrad, unwavering, said, "Whatever happens, we'll take responsibility."

The nurse, on the verge of tears, hid behind the doctor. The surgeon gritted his teeth, "Big talk. That's a human life. Can you really take responsibility?"

"My wife can't, but I can!" A cold voice echoed from the hallway. Everyone turned to see three or four people who had appeared out of nowhere. In the middle was Maximilian, sitting in a wheelchair, dressed in black, looking stern and untouchable.
