Chapter 982: Is Hayden Any Worse Than Them? Tina's voice cut through the quiet, her tone sharp. "... Where is he?"

The thought that someone dared to provoke the White family was baffling. Who gave him such courage?

Jared, seeing through her thoughts, handed her a matching coat from the wardrobe. "He's in the hospital. Nathan is with him-it shouldn't be anything too serious."

Tina glanced at the pale morning light outside. Compared to Hayden, who seemed to invite trouble wherever he went, she found herself more speechless with the man standing before her.

At the hospital, Hayden lay in the bed, wrapped from head to toe in white bandages like a mummy. Only his eyes moved, staring blankly at the ceiling.

Beside him, Nathan looked on in a mix of disbelief and reluctant admiration. "Hayden, I have to hand it to you. Are you genuinely dumb, or do you just have no sense at all? Did you really think you could take on the White family all by yourself?"

Hayden stiffly turned his head and glared at him. What do you know?

"I was doing it for true love," Hayden thought bitterly, refusing to argue with a man who had no experience in such matters.

Nathan didn't need a second to guess his thoughts and scoffed. "Don't kid yourself. If you'd had the decency to so much as nod at Paula before today, you wouldn't have ended up nearly beaten to death by the White family."

Hayden was speechless. Did Nathan really have to rub salt into his wounds?

When Tina and Jared arrived, Hayden was lying on his side, enduring Nathan's relentless scolding. Annoyed but unable to escape, he regretted not calling anyone else for help when things went south. He couldn't risk alerting his family, so Nathan had been his only option. Nathan noticed their arrival and immediately stood, greeting them respectfully. "Mr. Farrell, Mrs. Farrell."

Tina gave a slight nod and stepped closer to Hayden. Her gaze was clear and calm as she assessed him. He seemed fine. At least, he wasn't dead.
