Chapter 426 Vera Was Scolded

"Molly, are you Okay?" Ellie asked gently, sitting by Molly's bedside and looking at her with concern. "Mom, where's Sebastian?" Molly asked as soon as she opened her eyes, searching for Sebastian. Soon, Sebastian walked over, his face tense, hands behind his back, and his gaze stern and intimidating. Sebastian asked, "What's wrong?"

Molly replied, "I want to report a crime."

Vera and Randall, looking chastened, approached Patrick and laid out their entire plan, start to finish.

Patrick's face darkened. "What were you planning to do if I hadn't shown up today, Vera?"

Vera tearfully said, "I would have run."

Patrick looked at her and sternly asked, "Do you think you could outrun him?"

Tears dripped from Vera's eyes onto the tiles as she struggled to answer, her nose stuffy and her voice caught in her throat.

Randall murmured, "Patrick, I would never let her get hurt."

"Shut up!" Patrick was furious. He scolded Randall with a cold expression, "How many times have I told you; Jeffrey is a boxing champion. I told you not to provoke him. How did Molly end up in a hospital bed if you guys are so capable?" Randall leaned against the wall, acknowledging his mistake.

"All of you, stand outside!" Patrick was determined to teach them a lesson this time.

He glanced at Vera, who was still sobbing.

Despite his inner conflict, he didn't soften his tone. He pointedly avoided making eye contact with Vera, instead, pointing at the floor in front of her. His voice, for the first time, held an unprecedented gravity. "Especially you, Vera. Have you learned nothing? Just because you think you can handle yourself doesn't mean you can protect everyone. Today you're fine, but if you were the one in that hospital bed, you'd regret it for the rest of your life."

Vera bit her lip in fear, trying to hold back her sobs, but the sound still escaped her throat.

Randall felt heartbroken seeing her cry like this for the first time.
