Chapter 232: Chapter 232

"What did you do?" The man’s eyes narrowed slightly, filled with suppressed rage, his tone so cold it made one’s heart tremble involuntarily. Updates are released by Nove1Fire.net

Nina Sinclair saw her brother’s stern attitude towards her again because of Quinn Lockwood, and her heart felt increasingly unbalanced. She crossed her arms over her chest.

She raised her head and said loudly, "I just dragged her out, I did nothing else. How could she faint? I think she’s pretending to be weak, waiting for men to feel sorry for her. Don’t forget she’s an actress, she’s probably played this role dozens of times!"

"Are all you men fools? Don’t you realize you’ve been played around by this vixen?"

Nina vented all her dissatisfaction towards Quinn, looking at Quinn lying on the bed with tightly closed eyes, she felt she was extremely fake! She thought it was all Quinn’s act to seduce her brother.

"You’re out of line!" Elias Sinclair’s voice was low and chilling, anger flared in his eyes, and he raised his hand and slapped Nina.

The crisp sound of the slap echoed in Nina’s ears, making a buzzing sound, and her delicate face immediately turned red and swollen.

"You hit me! You actually hit me! How could you hit me?" Nina covered her face, stomping her feet and crying, feeling both angry and wronged, tears flowing uncontrollably, making it hard for her to see the person in front of her clearly.

"It’s clear I need to discipline you properly. Starting tomorrow, you are not allowed to go anywhere. I will arrange for someone to supervise your studies closely." The man looked at Nina seriously and coldly, his handsome face dark and stern as if it could drip ink.

Upon hearing this, Nina cried even louder, raising her hands to wipe away her tears, sobbing as she ran back to her room, and lay on the pillow sobbing loudly.

It was bad enough her brother hit her for that witch, but he also grounded her and had someone watch her study.

She hated studying the most!!

At this time, Cameron Grant told Elias Sinclair that he would take Quinn Lockwood back to the Lowell Family.

"The Sinclair Family can’t even guarantee Savannah’s basic personal safety. In that case, I’d better take her home. At least I won’t let anyone have the chance to hurt her." Cameron looked at Elias coldly, determined to take Quinn away.

Since Elias can’t provide her protection, let him give her better guardianship.

Elias furrowed his brow, his eyes slightly narrowed with an icy gaze at Cameron, and then said, "This won’t happen again. I will protect her."

The man walked to Quinn’s bedside, his deep eyes filled with a ripple of pity, gently brushing aside the strands of hair on her forehead, then lightly caressing her cheek.

Cameron watched Elias’s affectionate actions towards Quinn, his hands involuntarily clenching tightly, a cold light flashing in his clear eyes.

"I can’t be sure this won’t happen again. After all, you spend the whole day dealing with various things at the company. Savannah is safer going back to the Lowell Family." Cameron’s face was tense, his eyes icy, his deep voice very firm.

He stepped forward to lift Quinn but was held back by Elias grabbing his arm.

"I won’t allow you to take Savannah." The man’s dark eyes were unfathomable, subtly releasing bursts of anger, as if about to ignite at any moment.

Cameron was slightly startled when he heard Elias call out Savannah’s name, then forcefully tried to pull his arm back, still resolute in saying, "For Savannah’s safety, I have to take her home."

As the tension between the two men rose, Quinn painfully opened her eyes, clutching her stomach and curling up again.

"It hurts... it hurts so much... brother..." Barely seeing a gentle, fair face, she tried to open her eyes wider, and upon recognizing Cameron’s face, she reached out and lightly tugged at his sleeve, pleading for help.

Cameron was instantly flustered, quickly lifting Quinn into his arms.

"Where does it hurt, Savannah? I’ll take you to the hospital right away. Don’t be afraid, no one will harm you with me here. I’ll always protect you," Cameron said, his eyes slightly reddened, hurrying to the door with Quinn in his arms.

Elias was also frightened by Quinn’s condition and quickly followed them to the hospital.

They took Quinn to the VIP ward, where the doctor responsible for treating her was the same experienced female doctor with dual PhDs as before.

Seeing Quinn admitted again due to severe menstrual pain, the doctor, after a series of examinations, severely criticized Elias.

"I told you last time, she needs proper care and to take her medication on time. Her pulse is weak and unstable, indicating that she’s caught a cold and her hemoglobin levels are alarmingly low, clearly from not taking her medication or supplementing nutrition on time."

"She seems to have been frightened as well, with significant internal blood stasis. Didn’t I tell you to keep her in a good mood? Why did you upset her again?"

In normal circumstances, no one would dare to speak to Elias this way; they would likely be banned from the hospital on his orders. However, hearing the doctor’s words now, Elias felt he had truly failed, becoming even more worried about Quinn’s condition.

"I’ll pay attention," Elias replied quietly, lowering his eyes slightly.

Meanwhile, Cameron observed that Elias showed no hint of displeasure but instead accepted the doctor’s questioning and criticism, leaving Cameron stunned and scrutinous of Elias for a long time.

Feeling increasingly uneasy, Cameron wondered, could Elias truly have developed such deep feelings for Savannah?

With a faint chill in his eyes, Cameron felt a certain discomfort in his heart, as an inexplicable irritation gradually rose within him.

Returning home, Grandpa Sinclair heard about Nina’s series of ’good deeds’ towards Quinn, so angered he almost wielded his cane at her.

"You... you really infuriate me, how have I raised you all these years? Do you have no sense of seniority or decorum?"

Grandpa Sinclair was so angry that he clutched his chest, his hand trembling slightly on his cane, glaring at Nina with deep displeasure, as if hating her for not meeting his expectations.

"Savannah is your sister-in-law, and this is how you treat her? At such a young age, instead of learning good, you’ve learned to harm others. Your usual willfulness, I would turn a blind eye to, but this time you really went too far. You’ve shamed this old man, and I feel too embarrassed to face Savannah!"

"Pack up your things and get back to Meridia, let your parents educate you properly! We, the Sinclair Family, can’t keep someone with such a venomous heart like yours."
