Chapter 0237

The police officer solemnly informed Yvonne, “Your husband is currently in the hospital, experiencing severe emotional instability. The hospital is calling for family members to be

present.”

At the mention of Ivor, Yvonne paused. Then, she quickly stood up and asked anxiously, “What’s

wrong with him?”

Candice’s attention had become fixated on Peach. She watched as, in her distress, Yvonne

grabbed Peach’s arm and dragged the little girl along. Yvonne was oblivious to the girl’s arm hitting the corner of the table.

Observing Yvonne, Candice found the situation laughable. Her mother appeared to have lost her essence, becoming nothing more than a puppet to Ivor’s will, mindlessly obeying his order.

Yvonne dragged Peach along and staggered out of the room.

The officer stated with an uneasy tone, “Ms. Renault, you’re needed at the hospital too. Mr. Dawson has specifically requested a personal meeting with you.”

Yana voiced her objection, declaring, “That’s unacceptable. He’s the offender here. What gives him the right to make such demands? We shouldn’t comply, Candy. We can take legal action, and we have all the evidence. This doesn’t sit right with me!”

The officer’s expression clouded as he heard the suggestion.

Candice knew her mother better than anyone else. She knew that avoiding the hospital visit would

likely lead Yvonne to broadcast the situation as a public spectacle.

“Yana, you should go home,” she suggested. “I need to go to the hospital.”

Yana frowned. “All right,” she conceded, “but I’ll accompany you.”

Contrary to Candice’s expectations, Alex also chose to join them at the hospital.

As they approached the ward, they could hear Ivor’s loud, abusive roar as he shouted vulgar curses and insults about Candice, and occasionally Yvonne.

Upon opening the door, the officer leant in and called, “Please keep the noise down. We shouldn’t disturb other patients.” He then stepped aside and gestured to Candice. “Let’s talk.”
