You're a monster

Karvel held her frail hand in his, his fingers trembling violently, as if trying to hold onto her very essence. Blood stained the edges of her lips, but despite the pain, she managed a weak smile.​

“Karv...” she whispered, her voice so faint it was almost lost in the sterile air of the hospital room. “I didn’t want to be a burden anymore. You’ve suffered enough… for me.”​

“Mom, no—no! Don’t say that. You’re not a burden. You’re my mother. You’re my only family!” Karvel’s voice cracked, and a sob wracked his body. 

His chest felt like it was caving in, filled with a grief so intense it was almost physical.​

She smiled faintly, her gray eyes glassy but still filled with a love that had sustained him through all these years.

Karvel clutched her tighter, as if he could somehow stop the inevitable. 

Before he could say anything more, the sound of dress shoes clicking on the tiled floor echoed in the hallway, like a death knell. 

Dr. William Crane, a senior consultant at the hospital, strutted into the room, a smug smirk on his face.​

“Oh, look,” Crane sneered, cocking an eyebrow. “The puppy still has tears left. Touching.”

Karvel’s eyes blazed with hatred. “Get out,” he growled through gritted teeth.​

Crane chuckled, pulling out a manila folder. “Tsk. I’d love to let this family drama continue, but we’ve got bills to settle, boy. That operation? ICU care? Tests? Medications? That’s a lot of bacon for a broke little mutt like you.”

“She’s dying,” Karvel growled.

Crane snorted. “Dead or dying, it makes no difference. We’re still owed money. And since you can’t pay—” he snapped his fingers.

Two brutish security guards stomped in behind him like trained oxen.

“Here’s the fun part,” Crane continued, grinning mockingly. “If she dies without payment, her body becomes property of the hospital. We’ll start with her kidneys—maybe her corneas, if they haven’t turned to jelly.”

“You’re insane,” Karvel spat, his hands balled into fists so tightly that his knuckles were white. “You’re a monster!” 

For years, Crane had been extorting “donations” from him, and Karvel had been desperate enough to comply.

 He had worked countless menial jobs—washing dishes, delivering pizza, doing anything he could to scrape together the money. 

But no matter how much he gave, it was never enough to satisfy Crane’s greed. And now, this was his revenge.​ 

“I’m a doctor with rules, dogboy. And you bit the hand that fed you,” Crane mocked, his eyes glinting with malice.​

As the guards moved forward, Karvel stood protectively over his mother’s bed. “Don’t you touch her!”

“Aww,” one guard chuckled. “Is the chihuahua gonna bite?”

“Better muzzle him before he pees on the floor,” the other added with a laugh.

They lunged at Karvel, and he fought back with all his might. But their blows were too powerful. 

Fists slammed into his ribs, knees struck his gut, and pain exploded throughout his body. 

His vision blurred, and blood dripped from his mouth as he collapsed beside his mother’s bed.​

Crane leaned down, voice dripping venom. “The hospital isn’t a kennel, boy. If you want to live like a dog, you better learn when to roll over and die.”

The guards reached for his mother’s body, and Karvel felt a sense of hopelessness wash over him. 

And then, suddenly, the blare of engines outside shook the walls of the hospital. Tires screeched, and doors slammed shut.​

Everyone in the room turned towards the sound, their eyes wide with surprise. A fleet of black luxury SUVs had pulled up outside the ER entrance. The vehicles were sleek, armored, and exuded an air of power and authority.​

Moments later, a squad of uniformed men entered the hospital, moving in perfect synchronization. 

They wore earpieces and sunglasses, their expressions cold and unreadable. Their presence sent a shiver down everyone’s spine.​

At the front of the group was a woman. 

Dressed in tailored white slacks, her silver heels clicking with command, sunglasses pushed up onto her sleek brunette hair.

“Stand down,” she said, her voice cool and authoritative.

The guards froze in their tracks, their eyes wide with confusion.​

Crane blinked, his smug expression replaced with a look of shock. “Wh—who the hell are you?” he stammered.​

The woman ignored him, walking straight to Karvel’s side. Her eyes landed on the blood on the floor, the bruises on his face, and the broken look in his eyes. 

Then, to everyone’s astonishment, she bowed deeply, right there in the middle of the hospital corridor. 

“Young master,” she said, her voice softening slightly. “Forgive me. I’m late. I’m so sorry.”​

The staff gasped.

    Before anyone could stop him, Karvel walked toward the nurse with long, steady steps. His face was calm, but his mind was racing.“Please excuse me,” he said politely as he stopped in front of her.The nurse looked up, a little surprised. “Yes, sir? How may I help you?” she asked.Karvel leaned closer and lowered his voice. “I need to ask you something. It’s very important.”The nurse hesitated for a moment, then nodded. “Alright,” she said. “Let’s talk somewhere else.”They both walked a few steps away from the waiting area, stopping near a quiet corner of the corridor where no one could hear them clearly.The nurse crossed her arms. “I don’t know what this is about,” she said carefully. “So please, go ahead.”Karvel took a deep breath. “I’m here about a case that happened some time ago,” he said slowly. “It involved Margret’s granddaughter and her classmate. The child who died.”The nurse’s face changed immediately. Her eyes widened slightly, and she looked around the hospital as if

    Morrison walked toward Karvel’s office after the meeting. Most employees had returned to their desks. Some avoided eye contact as he passed, while others bowed their heads politely.He stopped in front of Karvel’s door and knocked once.“Come in,” Karvel’s voice said from inside.Morrison opened the door and stepped in. Karvel was standing by the window, his jacket already off, his sleeves rolled up. He looked tired, the kind of tired that came from carrying too many things alone.Morrison closed the door behind him.“How is Mrs. Elena’s father now?” Morrison asked gently. “Your wife mentioned he was sick.”Karvel turned slowly. “He’s feeling better now,” he replied. “The doctors say he’s out of danger.”“That’s good to hear,” Morrison said. “Illness can shake a family.”Karvel nodded. “Elena barely left the hospital for days. She was exhausted.”He walked back to his desk and sat down. Papers were stacked neatly, but he didn’t touch them. His eyes stayed fixed on one spot, like his t

  • CHAPTER 240

    “This company runs on discipline and respect,” Karvel said as he walked beside Morrison. “If the workers start feeling unsafe or disrespected, everything will fall apart.”Morrison nodded slowly. “You’re right. Fear never brings loyalty. It only brings silence.”Karvel glanced at him. “And silence is dangerous.”They stopped in front of the large doors of the meeting hall. Karvel placed his hand on the handle but did not open it yet. His grip tightened, then loosened.“I don’t know how to fix this anymore,” he admitted quietly. “Every time I try to calm her, she feels attacked. Every time I stay quiet, she feels ignored.”Morrison studied his face carefully. “Sometimes people act out because they feel powerless.”Karvel frowned. “She isn’t powerless. She carries my name. She has a position here. People respect her.”“Yes,” Morrison replied calmly, “but power does not always remove fear. Sometimes it makes it worse. When someone feels they must always be strong, they don’t know how to

    Florida walked quickly toward Karvel the moment she saw him coming down the hallway. Her heels clicked on the polished floor, her face tight with worry and anger mixed together.“What happened?” she asked, stopping right in front of him. “Where have you been? You’ve been going up and down this company like a stranger. I told you before, if there is anything you want, anything at all, just tell me.”Karvel opened his mouth to reply, but before a single word could come out, Morrison stepped forward. He stood straight, his voice calm but firm.“Young Master,” Morrison said politely, “people are waiting for you. The meeting is about to start. You should come now and attend to the business matters.”Florida turned sharply to look at Morrison. Her eyes flashed with irritation.“Can’t you see I’m talking to my husband?” she snapped. “Step aside.”Morrison did not raise his voice, nor did he bow his head. He simply adjusted his glasses and answered, “You don’t need to be angry, Miss— or shoul

  • CHAPTER 238

    “Mother, what happened to him?” Liza asked anxiously as Patricia walked into the living room.Patricia’s face looked tired and worried. Her eyes were red, like she had been crying for a long time.“I don’t really know what happened,” Patricia said softly. “All I know is that your father had an accident.”Liza’s heart began to beat fast. “How bad is it?” she asked.Patricia shook her head slowly. “They didn’t explain much on the phone. But I’ve already called Elena. She said she’s at the hospital now with her husband.”Liza did not waste another second. “Then let’s go there,” she said firmly.Patricia nodded.They both walked out of the house quickly and got into the car. Liza started the engine and drove off immediately. The road felt longer than usual. Every minute felt like an hour to her.Neither of them spoke during the drive. Patricia kept praying quietly, her lips moving softly. Liza held the steering wheel tightly, her mind filled with fear.Please be okay, Daddy, she thought.
