The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never

Arriving at the hospital, they found the area cordoned off by the police.

The buzz of the gathered crowd reached Hannahs ears.

It was chaotic.

Can you believe someone tried to carry out a murder right here in the hospital? Yes, it was terrifying.

Thankfully, they were stopped in time, or who knows what might have happened.

Why would anyone want to murder someone in a hospital? What could drive such hatred? Hearing these snippets of conversation only deepened Hannahs unease.

She made her way through the crowd towards the ward, only to be stopped by the police.

Im sorry, you cant go in right now.

My father was the target of the attack.

I need to see him immediately! Hannah insisted.

A police officer approached and addressed her with gravity. Are you Miss Compton? Your father is unharmed, but the situation is critical.

We believe this incident may be connected to the Lyons family dispute.

Hannah felt a chill.

The attack was part of a larger scheme.

Determined, she said, I must see my father to ensure hes truly alright.

The officer hesitated but ultimately nodded, signaling to his colleagues.

He then escorted Hannah and Dotson past the police blockade into the ward.

In the hospital ward, although Wallace appeared pale, his demeanor was composed.

Spotting Hannah, he offered a reassuring smile.

Dont worry.

Im fine.

She had just visited her father earlier that night, not anticipating the swift turn of events that followed.

Her anxiety lingered.

Are you really okay? How are Keith and Trent? She couldnt find the two of them anywhere in the ward, which started to worry her.

Theyre fine, just a few bruises.

The assailant has been apprehended.

They stepped out to get their wounds treated.

Dont worry about them.

As he spoke, a commotion stirred outside the ward.

Bryson, having heard what transpired, hurried in, his concern evident.

Hannah, is your father alright? he asked immediately upon entering. Relieved by his presence, Hannah nodded.

Yes, hes safe, thank you.

Wallace, observing Bryson and said earnestly, It seems we cant escape our troubles.

Bryson, Im entrusting Hannah to your care.

Bryson responded with a nod, his usually stoic gaze softened.

Dont worry.noveldrama

I will protect her.

The atmosphere in the room tensed with the weight of their situation.

Just then, Dotson entered.

Boss, Remington has uncovered new clues.
