Chapter 10

I regained consciousness in the hospital, feeling confused and sore all over. Miss Greer was there, her face brightening as I stirred.

"Miss Greer, you've come around!" she exclaimed, moving closer.

I attempted to speak, but my mouth was dry. "Adrian? Where is he?"

Miss Greer gave a gentle, comforting smile. "He's conscious too. Your father and his accomplices have been taken into custody. I reached out to Abigail to come back, but I'm not certain what transpired afterward. I brought you here and haven't left your side since."

I tried to smile back, but the pain in my jaw made it challenging.

Her tone became softer, tinged with indignation. "Your father's actions were inexcusable. How could he treat his own child so brutally? But don't fret—Abigail is livid. She'll ensure he faces consequences for his actions."
