Chapter 211: The moment everyone spotted the MDH Pharmaceutical Research Institute logo, a collective murmur of shock swept through the crowd.


    None of them had expected a doctor from MDH to show up here.


    Floyd offered a courteous smile.


    Apologies, but this patient could be violent at any moment.


    I need to escort him to the psychiatric hospital immediately.


    As soon as Floyd introduced himself and demonstrated his expert restraint techniques, no one dared to question him further.


    After all, nobody wanted to witness a mental breakdown in the middle of the chaos.


    While Floyd made the arrangements for Devins transfer, the reporters quickly shifted their attention back to Colton and Mny.


    Mr.


    Stevens, did you instruct someone to frame Ms.


    rke? Were you trying to tarnish Charisma Companys reputation due to businesspetition, allowing Miss Johnson to stir trouble from the shadows? Yourpany barely escaped one scandal, and now youre caught up in a defamation dispute.


    How do you respond to these allegations, Mr.


    Stevens? Mny, who had anonymously tipped off the media in a bid to destroy Allisons image, suddenly found herself cornered.


    The press swarmed them like a pack of hungry wolves, and her ill-fated n had backfired spectacrly.


    But Colton wasnt listening to the onught of questions.


    Seeing Floyd from MDH reminded him of what truly mattered his mothers deteriorating health.


    Dealing with the media could wait.


    The instant he saw Floyd turning to leave, Colton grabbed Mnys arm and forced his way through the crowd, ignoring the reporters who mored desperately for a statement.


    Sir, please! Just a moment! he called out.


    This opportunity was too critical to miss.


    Colton might never get in touch with another member of MDH.


    Youre from MDH Pharmaceuticals, right? Im Colton Stevens, CEO of the Stevens Group.


    My mother has a severe neurological condition intense headaches, constant pain I was hoping you might be able to help with her treatment.


    Ill pay whatever it takes.


    Floyd nced at him, unfazed.


    Not happening.


    Colton and Mny had just been taking potshots at Allison, and now they had the audacity to ask for a favor? It was beyond ridiculous.


    You see, I dont treat people with bad character.


    For me, thats a sin.


    Coltons smile faltered, his face tightening.


    A sin? It was clear Floyd was mocking him.


    But Floyd was a top doctor, one of the best at the institute.


    With a few dismissive words, he shattered any hope Colton had of securing help.


    Just as Colton tried to exin something, Floyd turned on his heel and walked away, his strides quickening as if to put as much distance between them as possible.


    Colton, what are we going to do now? I cant believe Allison has so much sway.


    Even the MDH doctors are refusing us because of her, Mny said, frustration evident in her voice.


    Mny bit her lip.


    This isnt right! Your mother is suffering, and just because Allison has some personal vendetta Seeing the anger sh in Coltons eyes, Mny quickly continued, her voice turning sharp.


    Shes gone too far.


    First, she destroys ourpanys reputation, and now shes keeping your mother from getting the treatment she needs.


    Its unbelievable! Coltons gaze darkened.


    I used to think she was kind and gentle, but it was all just an act.


    He exhaled slowly, the weight of his words hanging between them.


    Hisst hopey in that damned hacker game.


    He had no idea when it would be operational again, but he refused to believe he couldnt find a way to cure his mother without Allisons help.


    Meanwhile, in the car, Floyd nced at the sedated Devin, slumped in the backseat.


    He turned to the psychiatric hospital doctors with a weary sigh.


    This patient has a history of severe violent outbursts.


    I strongly suggest taking extra legal precautions to ensure staff safety.


    His tone was measured, but the implication was clearFloyd was rmending they use the most forceful restraints avable.


    For a moment, Floyds gaze lingered on the unconscious Devin, and a shadow passed over his face.


    The scene from earlier reyed in his mind, making his breath hitch.


    Hed been just a second away.


    A heartbeatter, and that knife would have been buried in Allisons chest.


    Sending Devin to a psychiatric hospital seemed far too lenient a punishment.


    Floyd had already made up his mindhe would be paying a visit to the hospital that evening.


    One injection of irreversible medication wouldpletely incapacitate Devin for life.
