Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom
Chapter 543 The Patriarch of the Huffman Family

Atlas gave a brief report to Arthur about the situation. Then, everyone headed to the ICU.

Sure enough, it didn't take long before Trinity was wheeled into the ICU.

Members of the Huffman family also arrived, led by a lean older man. I speculated he might be Trinity's father.

His face was grim as he questioned Jared, "How did it end up like this? Huh? Who did this? You tell me who laid hands on her!" Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ FɪndNøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

This older man exuded a formidable presence despite being in his twilight years. He must have been a warrior who led from the front lines when he was younger.

Even at his age, his eyes were sharp and cunning. That gaze demanded respect.

"Preliminary assessment shows the involvement of an organization from the Jitador, a case of mistaken identity," Jared reported, but he only gave an overview.

I wanted to speak up, but Atlas put his arm around my shoulder, signaling me to stay silent. I had no choice but to hold my tongue, but I could not get rid of the ache in my chest.

The older man erupted in anger. "That won't do! He harmed Anson Huffman's daughter. I don't care if it's some damn organization. Find him for me. Since he dared to hurt my daughter, they must take responsibility, mistaken identity or not!

"All injuries are a vendetta against the Huffman family. I won't forgive anyone. You must give me an explanation. She was with you, and yet you let her get hurt like this. Weren't you supposed to protect her?" The older man's anger was palpable, revealing Trinity's importance to him.

"I don't care what kind of organization he belongs to. If they didn't want trouble with the Huffman family, they had better hand over the person who did this. Otherwise, this won't end here!" His thundering voice echoed through the hall.

I honestly hadn't expected it to involve the Huffman family because of me. I never once thought that I would have any connection with them.

The older man spent a long time in the ICU, then was persuaded to leave by Jared.

Before leaving, he turned back and shot Jared a fierce look, instructing him, "You must find this person for me. I want the one who hurt my daughter, no matter what it takes!"

With that, he left in a flurry, accompanied by his entourage.

Atlas also bid farewell to Arthur and

his daughter, then turned to me,

Come back

to the hospital tomorrow morning!"

I shook my head, somewhat displeased. "That won't do. Trinity got hurt because of me. I have to stay by her side. I can't relax until she's back in her room."

Seeing my stubbornness, Jared said, "Ms. Chloe, you'd better rest. Your presence here is also distracting us."

Jared's words were a polite way of suggesting I leave.

"I need to discuss the antidote with Mr. Atlas. It's urgent. It's the most dangerous factor for her right now. Otherwise, she could lose her life at any moment.

He glanced at my expression and continued, "All we can do is race against time. The faster we get the antidote, the sooner she'll be out of danger!"

I looked at Jared, feeling powerless. I knew his words were essentially asking me to leave. Though he phrased it politely and without blame, it still stung. After all, Trinity was injured because of me.

I watched Trinity in the ICU, motionless and covered in tubes, and my heart was a whirlwind of emotions. Somehow, I had inexplicably become indebted to Trinity. Last night, I kept telling her we couldn't be friends. However, she made me change my mind quickly, in such a severe manner.

I watched silently for a while, then

turned to Atlas and said, "I can go back on my own. You stay here with Mr. Jared to handle things. But promise me, if anything happens to Trinity, you'll let me know!"

Atlas insisted, "I'll take you back!"

With that, he signaled to Jared and led me out.
