Chapter 89
The VIP wing of Avenfall General Hospital was quiet and spotless, far different from the chaotic lobby they had walked through earlier. As soon as Callen, Ivy, and Camila stepped inside, two nurses hurried over with respectful smiles."Mr. Callen, Mrs. Ivy, please come this way," one of them said softly.Callen nodded calmly, keeping his expression neutral so Ivy wouldn't suspect anything. The moment they showed that member card at reception, every staff member acted like they were serving royalty. Ivy had almost panicked, afraid they had broken some rule. Camila nearly fainted thinking the bill would skyrocket.But Callen kept a straight face and said it was a benefit from his years of serving in the military. The nurses led them into a private VIP treatment room. Three doctors were already waiting inside."Mrs. Carter, please let her rest on the bed," one of the doctors said politely.Ivy helped her mother lie down. The doctors immediately examined Camila with careful hands and seri

Chaos filled the entrance of Avenfall General Hospital. The cries of family members echoed, doctors rushed in every direction, and the strong smell of disinfectant hung in the air like a heavy cloud.Callen's eyes narrowed when he saw the patient being pushed past them. The man's condition was almost identical to William's. Pale skin, trembling limbs, and a strange pattern of blue veins crawling up his neck.Ivy tugged his sleeve. "Callen, the symptoms are similar to my Dad's...""Yeah," Callen answered calmly, though his mind sharpened. "Let's go inside first."Ivy and Camila stayed close to him. The crowd made it hard for Camila to walk, and she winced every few steps.Inside the hospital lobby, the atmosphere was even more chaotic. Several families shouted at the staff, demanding immediate treatment for their loved ones.Ivy bit her lip. "We'll have to line up. Mom's wounds are serious, but these people look worse."Camila scoffed through clenched teeth. "It's fine. I'm not dying.

People stopped moving because of those words."They're the ones who beat her," someone said, pointing at five men. "I didn't take part, so I'll be leaving!"The others agreed with him. They tried to leave again, but Callen's voice rang out. "Even if you didn't hit her, you just stood there and watched without trying to stop it, didn't you?"Ivy nodded. "If you still have any shame, apologize right now. Especially you five," she retorted.All five who had kicked and hit Camila were men, which only made Ivy even angrier."You five are men, but you hit an old woman? Don't you feel ashamed?" Ivy continued to scold them. "What if your own mothers were treated like that? Would you accept it?"The five men cleared their throats and tried to look away from Ivy."Your mother looked so shabby, of course, we misunderstood," a fat man spoke first. He didn't want to apologize, so he searched for excuses.The others didn't want to apologize either and followed his lead."Yeah, that's right. You're

Roland clicked his tongue. He had made the wrong move because he panicked. He shouldn't have said he wrote the password on the back. If they checked and didn't see anything, it would prove he really was the thief."Why are you so quiet? Was that just nonsense you made up?" Callen asked with a mocking smile."N-No way! Exclusive Imperial Bank checks can't be shown carelessly. Someone might try to copy it," Roland argued.His excuse sounded reasonable, so the onlookers leaned to his side."He's right. A check that big can't be shown in public like that.""Looks like this whole family is working together to get that check."Ivy stepped forward. "We're not trying to steal that check," she said, her expression full of frustration."Then tell us why poor people from Lowtown like you have a one-million-dollar check," an old woman challenged."That…" Ivy's words trailed off. She remembered Callen had signed a nondisclosure agreement last night.If she revealed the reason they had the check, s

Ivy's breathing turned heavy from anger as she glared sharply at everyone.People looked at each other. At first, they were amazed by the Rolls-Royce, but after learning the owner was the thief's daughter, they began to think Ivy had just rented the car."That car must be rented. There's no way a poor woman like her owns that.""Your mother deserved to be beaten. She stole the wallet of the person who helped her.""We were just trying to discipline her."Ivy couldn't accept their words. "Even so, does my mom deserve to be beaten like that? You've gone too far.""I-I didn't steal," Camila whispered weakly through the pain. She clutched Ivy's arm tightly. "I really didn't steal, Ivy. You have to believe me.""Yes, Mom. I believe you," Ivy answered, looking back at her with a smile.In the middle of the crowd, Roland watched them with a victorious smile. Even with her daughter here, people would still see Camila as a thief, since the difference in their appearance was like heaven and ear

Roland's shout shocked Camila. "Sir, what do you mean?"The friendly look on Roland's face disappeared, replaced by a glare. "Stop pretending you don't know. That's my wallet. You tried to steal it!" he yelled.His voice drew the attention of the people around them. In an instant, a crowd formed. Without any explanation, they instantly decided Camila was the thief just by looking at her clothes."Is that shabby-looking woman the one who stole it?""It must be her. Why are you even asking? Look at her flat, greasy hair. Ew, so disgusting!""Is she from the Lowtown district?""Tsk! The empire should make a rule so people from those filthy places can't wander around freely."Camila heard all their whispers. She stared at Roland, who was now winking one eye at her. Her chest heaved with anger."I'm not a thief. This is my wallet!" Camila protested. "He's the one who tried to steal it from me!""Why would I steal from a poor person like you?" Roland said, making everyone's eyes turn sharp
