Chapter 228 Chapter 228

The hospital reeked of antiseptic and despair. Jericho Kane shoved the double doors open with the rage of a god uninvited

He froze.

There she was-Bella, his daughter.

His golden girl.

Mangled beyond recognition.

Her once-radiant face was flow a ruin of blood and shattered bone Her arms?

Torn like wings from a fallen angel.

Her legs? Bent in ways only nightmares could dream.

He staggered a step back, his lips trembling. Then-

"Who did this?!"

The roar cracked through the ward like a gunshot.

Nurses flinched. A bodyguard limped forward, face pale, one eye swollen shut.

"Sir... it was Alex," he rasped.

"Jasmine Kingston's... boy toy."

Jericho's knuckles cracked as he clenched his fists, fury dancing in his eyes.

"Alex? That son of a bitch again. He has the audacity to lay a finger on my daughter?"

He glared at his guards, eyes blazing. "Why didn't you protect my daughter?!"

The guard swallowed hard, bracing himself.

"He's... stronger than we expected, Sir Kane."

Jericho seized the guard by the throat so violently the man's feet left the floor.

"Stronger than you expected? How about you protect my daughter or die trying? Instead, you come crawling back here with excuses? How dare you look me in the eye?"

"S-Sir, please-"

The sound of bones snapping cut off the guard's plea.

Jericho tossed the limp body aside like garbage.

Around them, doctors and nurses gasped in horror, but none of them dared move.

He turned, slowly, deliberately. His jaw clenched so tight it might've turned to stone.

He stepped closer to Bella, the scent of violence suddenly thick in the air.
