You're Out Daddy

After celebrating Celia’s birthday, they prepared to head back.

Just when Natasha walked out of the corridor and reached the staircase, her phone rang.

It was a call from Denise. Natasha picked it up and said, “Hello?”

“When are you coming home, Nat?”

“I’m going back now. It’ll take around half an hour…”

While watching Natasha take the call, Thomas and Ross was discussing so enthusiastically that they did not notice someone walking over briskly.

Pushing the trolley along the corridor, the person dashed toward Natasha.

“Okay, I’m going to stop talking to you. I’ll ask Ms. Watson.” As he spoke, Ross glanced at Natasha. At that moment, he noticed something amiss and yelled, “Be careful, Ms. Watson!”

When Natasha turned around, the trolley crashed into her back. She lost her balance and tumbled over.

“Ms. Watson!”

“Ms. Watson!”

Thomas and Ross dashed forward immediately.

Luckily, the steps were not high. Natasha quickly grabbed the railing and stopped herself from rolling down the stairs.

“How are you? Are you okay?” asked Ross.

Still immersed in shock, Natasha looked up at the culprit who was standing at the top of the staircase.

He was in his mid-thirties. His face was completely pale and his long hair concealed most of his face. A devilish smile played on his lips.

Natasha stared at him while he glared at her with a look of hatred and hostility.

Thomas approached him. “What’s wrong with you? Don’t you know that this is really dangerous?”

That man remained silent.

“Do you think that this is over if you don’t say anything!” yelled Thomas.

However, that man kept quiet and continued glaring at Natasha with an extremely vicious gaze.

“Are you mute? Say something?” Thomas became agitated.

At that moment, a nurse and doctor rushed over upon hearing the commotion. They looked at that man. “Gary, did you get into trouble again?”

Looking at Thomas, they quickly apologized. “I’m so sorry. He’s a patient at our hospital, but he doesn’t have any relatives. He went through a huge shock recently, so he isn’t really mentally stable. I’m so sorry.”
