Nathaniel clenched his fists, veins bulging on his arms. He shot Dylan a menacing glare, causing him to flinch and fall silent.
Avoiding Nathaniel's gaze, Dylan muttered, "Don't try to intimidate me. It's too late for regret!"
Troy ran from the end of the hallway and whispered in Nathaniel's ear, "Mr. Nicholls, Mrs. Nicholls left the hospital and took a cab. It looks like she's heading back to Ascend Apartment."
Nathaniel was confused, but he quickly realized why Mavis was heading back to the apartment. With a cold expression, he turned and walked briskly toward the hospital elevators.
"Troy, get the car. We need to hurry."
"Yes, sir!"
Before long, the two men quickly disappeared down the corridor.
Dylan stood there, watching Nathaniel's retreating figure with a bitter sneer.
"Dylan..."
The door was still open, and he heard Evan's weak voice calling for him.
He entered the ward and asked, "What is it?"
"Were you talking to Nathaniel? What you said earlier about Mae taking care of me and being with me… is it true?"
"Uh…" Dylan scratched his head, smiling awkwardly. "Well… I was just trying to irritate Nathaniel."
However, he noticed Evan's disappointment and hurriedly added, "But even though Mae didn't say it herself, she's very upset with Nathaniel right now. Besides, you're so badly injured. Mae feels guilty about it, and she probably will do those things. I'm her brother. I've lived with her since we were kids. I know her best. Don't worry."
Evan's weak gaze lacked luster. He could not move, wrapped in bandages like a mummy.
"I hope Mae comes to her senses," he said before coughing violently.

The readers' comments on the novel: Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson)
The novel is too abusive it spoils the joy of reading it. I hate the punishment part between sheena and Eliot....
