Chapter 156

Hugo felt a sudden panic rise within him as he moved forward, only to be yanked back by Eugene who dragged him out by the collar.

The hospital room door closed in an instant.

Through the narrow gap, he caught a glimpse of Mila's bloodshot eyes staring back at him, filling his heart with inexplicable dread. He struggled to grab the doorknob, instinctively calling out, "Sis..."

Mila shut her eyes, refusing to look any longer.

The door clicked shut.

...

Hugo was forcefully dragged into the stairwell and kicked to the ground.

Eugene pressed a foot firmly against Hugo's chest, leaning in with a smile that radiated from his well-sculpted features.

"So, Hugo, is it? If you ever show up in front of my sister again, don't blame me for being unfriendly. I'm not as easygoing as she is, and I certainly don't have a calm demeanor. When I lose it, even I can't predict what I might do."

Hugo coughed a few times, just about to lash out when a sharp pain shot through his side, and before he knew it, he was tumbling down the stairs.

Eugene stood at the top, lightly kicking his leg, his smile unchanged, but his eyes were as cold as ice as he watched Hugo fall.
