Chapter 186: Freakshow
Amelia exchanged a worried glance with Matteo. This time, Matteo was right by her side as she made a mad dash for the hospital room. They flung open the room door to see Joshua straddling Amelia’s father while he wrapped his hands around his neck, strangling him.
"Let go of him!" Amelia screamed, terror clouding her vision. She leaped forward and threw her entire weight against her uncle to shove him aside. Joshua Kentwood blinked in surprise, but before he could react, he found himself falling to the floor at the unexpected force.
"What the fuck!" Joshua exclaimed. "Who’s this bitch―"
"Joshua!" Twin voices belonging to Lewis Kentwood and Martha Kentwood rang through the room.
"Dad, are you alright?" Amelia cried out worriedly, helping her father off the floor.
Up close, she could see the darkening bruises on his face. His previous wounds hadn’t healed yet, and topped with what Joshua Kentwood had added, her father looked like a walking grape― swollen and purple.
There was blood running down the corners of Michael’s lips, and his nose seemed oddly cracked out of place, most likely broken. One of his eyes was half-hooded and swollen, while various cuts also littered his body.
Even with Amelia and Matteo supporting him off the floor, Michael Kentwood still swayed left and right as though he were a leaf in the breeze.
"What did you do to my dad?!" Amelia yelled, appalled when she realized the state her father was in.
