Chapter 106:

Ethan stormed into the hospital room, his expression thunderous upon seeing Kallie crumpled on the floor.

Ethan had sensed something amiss and had scoured the neighborhood’s surveillance footage. It was challenging, but he finally traced the menacing group who had whisked Kallie away to the hospital.

However, he arrived too late.

Amara, stricken with shock and rage, pointed at Ethan, her words laced with fury. “How dare you come here? You and this woman are responsible for what’s happened to my daughter. She will suffer just as my daughter has.”

Ethan bent down, lifted Kallie gently, his voice icy. “The question of our guilt and the consequences we should face will be determined by the police, not by you. I’ve already involved the police on my way here. What you’re doing now is against the law. If you have something to say, save it for the police.”

Amara and Willard paled at his words.

Ethan had just taken a few steps away, cradling Kallie, when he ran into Jake in the hallway.

Jake arrived, flanked by a large group that filled the corridor, his face devoid of emotion as he stared at Ethan like he was dead meat.

Jake ordered, “Put her down and get out. This is a matter for the Reeves and Miller families. You shouldn’t be involved.”

Ethan’s laugh was sharp and mocking. “Really? Did you know the Millers almost killed Kallie today? And where were you? Off with your beloved Sarah, I bet. To you, Kallie is always an afterthought. Just because you neglect her doesn’t mean everyone else does. The person you toss aside like garbage means the world to us.”

Jake’s hands balled into fists, his rage simmering.

Edgar glanced at Kallie, noticing her deathly pale face, and stepped in to soothe Jake. “She looks terrible. We need to get her to a doctor.”

Jake reluctantly stepped aside.
