He gritted his teeth.
The excruciating pain made him see black spots in front of his eyes. He slowly slid down to the ground, leaning on the IV stand, and watched the nurse rush into the ward in shock.

Lucian arrived late, saw the person unconscious and covered in blood, and was furious.
“This was premeditated murder! Matilda is totally out of control! Call the police! We must call the police!”
The usually gentle Scarlett had a dark expression on her face and immediately took out her phone.
“Matilda is pregnant now, the Turner family will definitely try their best to protect her, I contacted a lawyer, this matter must make the Turner family pay.”
The sound of sirens was getting closer.
Marvin and Caroline rushed over when they received the message. When they saw their daughter in handcuffs, Caroline’s legs went weak and she almost collapsed.
Marvin’s face turned pale, he whispered.
“Hurt Roderick, Lucian won’t let it go, let’s find a lawyer first!”
However, the police had surveillance footage and solid evidence from

the hospital, so even though Matilda was pregnant, she couldn’t shake off the charge of attempted murder.
Marvin looked at the lawyer shaking his head, with veins popping on his forehead.
Caroline cried with red eyes, grabbing her husband’s arm and yelling.
“Marvin, you gotta think of a way! Can’t let Matilda go to jail! She’s got a baby in her belly!”
With Marvin pulling strings, Matilda’s mental evaluation report was quickly completed.
The doctor announced that she “suffered from cognitive impairment due to long–term mental stress“, but she pulled through.
Caroline finally breathed a sigh of relief, afraid that something unexpected might happen again, and immediately brought Matilda, who still needed to be hospitalized for observation, back.
The car was silent, only the roar of the engine echoing in the enclosed
space.
Caroline tightly held her daughter’s hand, her voice trembling with tears and pleading.
“Matilda, you can’t be impulsive anymore, the baby in your belly can’t handle it.”
“You almost lost your life this time, if it weren’t for your dad…”
She sneakily glanced at Marvin, who was driving silently in front.
Marvin gripped the steering wheel tightly, his face looking really dark.
From getting on the car until now, he hasn’t said a word.

Caroline saw the situation and continued to persuade carnestly.
“Your dad did everything to get you out of the hands of the police, he found a lawyer, pulled some strings, begged and pleaded, who knows how much effort he put in.”
“We really pissed off the Hodgson family this time, the Turner family. We can’t be reckless anymore. We have to listen to your dad from now on.”
Matilda hung her head low, her long hair covering her face.
She knew in her heart how big a mess she had gotten herself into this time. If it weren’t for Marvin pulling strings, she wouldn’t have escaped prison even if she was pregnant.
She paused and said in a low voice.
“Dad, Mom, I know I was wrong. This time I messed up and caused trouble for our family. I promise to behave myself and not cause any more trouble in the future.”
There was silence in the car again, only Caroline’s soft sobbing..
Marvin still didn’t say a word, but his hand on the steering wheel was slightly pale at the knuckles.
The car raced towards the Turner family’s mansion in the dark night.
And this storm, it seems like it’s just getting started…
The moment Matilda pushed open the door, she froze.
