Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother novel Chapter 217

Chapter 217: Caryn In Danger

Justin hurried off with one of his bodyguards following closely. They headed toward the highly secured area where Caryn was being kept. As they approached, Aiden’s men stepped in to block his way.

"Sir, you aren’t allowed to enter," one of them said.

"I know what happened here, and I’m certain your boss wouldn’t dare make a wrong move either," Justin said coldly, his voice laced with authority.

"Still, let me confirm," the bodyguard replied, dialing a number immediately.

Justin waited, his patience measured. He wasn’t here to create unnecessary chaos, not in a situation this delicate.

After a brief exchange over the phone, the bodyguard nodded. "Sir, you may go in."

Without wasting a second, Justin strode forward. When he reached the corridor outside Caryn’s room, he found Leo waiting for him. Silently, Leo motioned for Justin to follow, leading him to a side room.

Inside, Aiden was seated on a couch, his sharp glare fixed on a hospital nurse kneeling on the floor, sobbing uncontrollably.

"Please, trust me! I don’t know who they are!" the nurse wailed. "They told me to inject that drug into the patient’s IV so the patient would die with cardiac arrest. That’s all I know!"

"And you complied without question?" Aiden’s voice was ice-cold, his tone cutting through the woman’s pleas. "No curiosity, no concern about what you were doing?"

"They’ve taken my son!" the nurse cried. "They’re blackmailing me. I had no choice. I just wanted to protect my child!"

Justin observed the scene, his sharp mind piecing together the situation. It was clear that someone had exploited the nurse’s desperation, using her as a pawn in their game.

The nurse suddenly glanced at Justin and froze, her tear-streaked face registering shock. The resemblance between the newcomer and the man seated on the couch before her was uncanny, almost surreal.

By now, those who worked closely with Justin and Aiden were accustomed to their striking similarity, but outsiders were often caught off guard, as the nurse clearly was.

"Take her away," Aiden ordered, his voice steady and unyielding. "Find out who’s behind this."

Two men stepped forward, pulling the distraught nurse to her feet as she continued to plead. They covered her mouth with tape so she won’t create unnecessary disturbances with her crying and pleading.

Aiden remained impassive, his eyes like steel at that woman’s begging.

For a moment, Justin could see himself in this man. Both of their behaviours resembled a lot.

Aiden glanced at Justin, his expression unreadable. "You just can’t stay out of this, can you? Are you that fond of your older brother now that you found one?"

"Maybe," Justin replied with calm indifference, settling into a chair. "If you wanted me to stay out of it, you wouldn’t easily allow me to witness all this. What’s going on? Who’s after Caryn Ford?"

Justin’s smirk faltered, his expression shifting. "Our mother?" he thought. His own mother?
