Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother

Chapter 217: Caryn In Danger

Justin hurried off with one of his bodyguards following closely. They headed toward the highly secured area where Caryn was being kept. As they approached, Aiden’s men stepped in to block his way.

"Sir, you aren’t allowed to enter," one of them said.

"I know what happened here, and I’m certain your boss wouldn’t dare make a wrong move either," Justin said coldly, his voice laced with authority.

"Still, let me confirm," the bodyguard replied, dialing a number immediately.

Justin waited, his patience measured. He wasn’t here to create unnecessary chaos, not in a situation this delicate.

After a brief exchange over the phone, the bodyguard nodded. "Sir, you may go in."

Without wasting a second, Justin strode forward. When he reached the corridor outside Caryn’s room, he found Leo waiting for him. Silently, Leo motioned for Justin to follow, leading him to a side room.

Inside, Aiden was seated on a couch, his sharp glare fixed on a hospital nurse kneeling on the floor, sobbing uncontrollably.

"Please, trust me! I don’t know who they are!" the nurse wailed. "They told me to inject that drug into the patient’s IV so the patient would die with cardiac arrest. That’s all I know!"

"And you complied without question?" Aiden’s voice was ice-cold, his tone cutting through the woman’s pleas. "No curiosity, no concern about what you were doing?"

"They’ve taken my son!" the nurse cried. "They’re blackmailing me. I had no choice. I just wanted to protect my child!"
