Chapter 440

The doctor stepped out of the operating room.

“The stab wound didn’t hit any vital organs. Mr. Biggs is in no immediate danger. With some rest, he should recover fully.”

As Carter was wheeled out, Kelly shoved past Sharon without hesitation, throwing herself to the bedside like a dutiful hostess.

“Carter, are you alright?” she cried out, voice trembling with concern.

Nate, too, forgot his grudge for a moment and rushed over to check on Carter.

Once Carter was transferred to his hospital room, Sharon tried to follow, only to be blocked at the door by Nate.

“You want to see Carter?” he sneered. “Beg me. Maybe if I’m in a good mood, I’ll let you in.”

Just then, Julliard, who had just finished speaking with the doctor, saw what was happening and quickly stepped forward, ready to intervene on Sharon’s behalf.

But to his surprise, she didn’t even spare Nate a glance. Without a word, she turned and walked away.
