It was Lexi, Lexi Law, a poor student I had sponsored in the past.
Robert had never tolerated defiance from anyone, yet there wasn’t even a trace of anger in his voice.
"Lex, listen to me. Your eyesight just recovered, and the doctor said you still need to rest. You shouldn’t be moving around too much. Adalyn has someone to take care of her—you don’t need to worry."
My fingers tightened around the blanket.
Did Lexi go blind? Why didn’t I know about that?
Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through the back of my hand as a needle was roughly jabbed into my skin.
"Stop moving!" the nurse snapped, her tone full of irritation. She pressed down harder, as if warning me to stay still.
"What a joke. Why do they get to take care of Mrs. Bain and Ms. Law, while I’m stuck looking after a blind woman like you?"
"If Ms. Law could just put in a good word for me with Mr. Bain, I wouldn’t have to waste my time with patients like you…"
Crash!
The sound of glass shattering cut her off.
"Aah! Who—who dares… Mr. Bain… why are you here…?" Her voice, once filled with resentment, trembled with fear.
Then, Robert’s furious voice echoed through the hospital room, cold and menacing. "Get out. Don’t ever let me see you again."
