The Fallen Son-In-Law's Retaliation

Chapter 10: Order

“What? I-I am banned from the hospital?" Carson blinked twice in shock. "Who gave you that stupid instruction?! Do all of you hit your heads and forget who I am?!”

“We don’t forget who you are, Sir. Your family is one of the top contributors in the hospital,” Melvin answered politely, still his head lowered, the same as his people. “Your family donated buildings and hundreds of thousands of money for the hospital’s expansions and investments.”

“If you know that, then why are you doing this to me, huh?” Carson pulled Melvin on the collar and slapped him. “Why are you humiliating my family in front of a fucking beggar?!”

“He’s not the one humiliating your family,” Damian suddenly spoke, which made Carson stop assaulting Melvin. “You’re the one humiliating yourself, and you’re bringing the Ferremento family with you.”

‘And you’re dragging me into humiliation, too,’ Damian added to his thoughts.

The fact that Carson and him are blood-related sent shivers down Damian’s spine. Not because he was afraid, but because he was disgusted, knowing that Ava’s lover is a part of Damian’s bloodline.

"Fuck!" Carson pushed Melvin away and went onto Damian instead.

At first, Carson was hesitant to approach Damian, remembering that he was able to take down his people effortlessly. However, once Damian hurt him again in front of the security team, they would be forced to throw him out of the hospital.

“Are you thinking too highly of yourself just because you can fight?” Carson asked and held Damian on the collar. “Do you think that physical strength is already enough for you to fight against me? You may be strong, but you’ll always be poor. Poor people are the weakest kind of people in this world.”

Damian only shrugged. Despite knowing how valuable his identity was right now, he didn’t make a single move to defend himself. He just found it amusing how pissed Carson was now even though he didn’t talk back yet, and it clearly shows Carson’s insecurity toward him.

“What are you doing? You told me earlier that you’ll punch me again, right? Do it now.” Carson’s grip tightened. “Show them how strong you are. That’s what you wanted, isn’t it? To seek validation?”

“I guess you’re talking to yourself.” Damian flickered Carson’s hand to remove his grip. 

It wasn’t even painful, but Carson seized the opportunity to frame up Damian.

“What the fuck! How dare you hurt an heir like me?!” he exclaimed before holding his hand, acting like he was hurt. 

“An heir, huh…” Damian trailed off, chuckling. "Is it possible to have two heirs at the same time?"

“What nonsense was that? There could only be one heir!” Carson looked at Melvin and his people afterward. "All of you, why are you just standing there?! Drag him away! Didn’t you see how he hurt me?!”

Melvin saw how Damian hurt Carson by flickering his hand, but at the same time, he was hesitant to do anything. The order from the higher-up he received was the opposite. He was told to throw Carson away from the hospital instead.

But how could lowly people like them drag the richest family's heir away? It was like throwing their entire life away, too!

"Sir Melvin, I don't know where the order came from, but we're dealing with Sir Carson Ferremento right now," Anthony muttered to Melvin. "It will be bad for us if we get to the Ferremento family's bad side. Who knows if this is just a test of our loyalty to the heir?”

Melvin's people took Anthony earlier as one of the instructions from the higher-ups. They asked Melvin to suspend Anthony and his team because of hurting Damian, a VIP patient.

‘But Anthony is right. This poor man may be a VIP patient, but not for long. Maybe he had done a good deed to Doctor Raine, and she’s just returning the favor for now…’ Melvin pondered. ‘If I take the wrong side, everyone will lose their jobs, including me!’

Melvin’s expression changed into a menacing one. He pointed at Damian and exclaimed, “Drag that person away and punish him for hurting Sir Carson!”

“Yes, Sir!” Two guards went onto Damian and held him on both sides.

Damian sighed, disappointed, but not surprised. He didn't want to create more trouble, so he just followed as the guards pulled him away.

Carson smirked as he thought he finally won the game, but suddenly, someone came.

“All of you! What do you think you’re doing?!”

It was a man in his 40's, wearing a black and white suit and expensive eyeglasses with a photochromic lens. His whole aura screams dominance, and every guard bowed as soon as he arrived.

“Zach!” Carson called, smiling as he approached Zach, one of the hospital directors. “I think your hospital needs to re-evaluate its security. This man just caused trouble in the hospital, and he fucking had the guts of hurting me—”

Carson’s words halted as Zach just walked past him. Instead, he went to Damian and looked at the guards holding him. “Let him go, or both of you will get fired.”

“But Sir! This man hurt Sir Carson!” Melvin exclaimed while sweating profusely. “He needs to learn his lesson!”

“You should say that to yourself!” Zach shot back, massaging the bridge of his nose. “I gave you the order, didn’t I? Sir Carson is banned from this hospital now. Instead of doing your job, you even dared to drag Sir Damian away?!”

“S-Sir Damian?” Melvin asked, his knees being wobbly now because of fear. “H-How…”

Zach didn’t answer. Instead, he bowed in front of Damian. “I’m sorry for the trouble, Sir. I will give them a punishment after this. If you have something in mind, just say it and I’ll gladly follow you.”

“Zach! What the fuck are you doing?!” Carson went toward Zach and pushed him away from Damian.

Still, Zach fixed his stance and replied politely, “Sir Carson, you need to leave the hospital immediately. Starting now, you can't enter this hospital.”

“What kind of nonsense is that?!” Carson exclaimed in shock and anger. “Zachary, you know how capable I am of firing you right now. Would you like me to tell Father about this?!” he threatened, hoping that Zach would get the point.

But Zach's statement shocked him instead.

“The order came from Master Veron himself, Sir.”
