Chapter 1116: The Agonizing Wait
“Young Lord! Wake up!”
A cry of alarm interrupted Shiela’s thoughts. She turned to see that Garrett, who had been severely injured, had fallen into unconsciousness.
“Garrett!” Shiela was taken aback and quickly rushed to check on his condition.
Dustin’s punch had distorted Garrett’s abdomen, and he lay there on the brink of death.
“That damn Dustin, how dare he injure Young Lord Garrett like this? He’s gone too far!” Vivian gritted her teeth.
“If that guy hadn’t run away so quickly, I would’ve killed him!” Chase vented his anger.
They couldn’t win in a fight against him, but that didn’t stop them from expressing their anger.
“Quick! Rush him to the hospital!”
Seeing the dire situation, Shiela immediately called for help and had Garrett taken to the Blue Hills Hospital.
At the hospital, doctors and nurses worked tirelessly to save his life.
It wasn’t until late at night that Garrett finally stabilized.
If Dustin hadn’t held back and left a glimmer of hope, he would have died long ago.
At this moment, in the special ward…
Garrett lay in a coma, his face as pale as paper.
Caden and the others waited anxiously by his side, their expressions grim.
Recently, there had been too many accidents involving the Murray family.
First, Morgan was kicked by a horse, then Caden was injured and hospitalized, and now it was Garrett’s turn.
What was crucial was that all these accidents seemed to have Dustin’s shadow behind them.
“Garrett! How is he?”
At this moment, Max rushed into the ward, his face haggard.
After a busy day, he had just rested, but now he heard the bad news about his son.
“Big brother, don’t be too worried. Garrett has already passed the critical stage.” Caden tried to reassure him.
“Who? Who did this to my son?!” Max gritted his teeth.
As the head of the Murray family, he was almost unrivaled in the entire Millsburg.
Whoever dared to harm his son was truly seeking death.
“It’s Dustin.”
Caden didn’t hide anything. “That kid has no respect for his superiors, and he even severely injured Garrett. He completely disregarded our Murray family!”
“Dustin?”
Max’s face darkened. “That damn beast! He harmed my daughter before, and now he’s injured my son. I’ll make sure he’s torn to pieces!”
His daughter had just been admitted to the hospital yesterday, and now his son was in the same situation.
Facing such a double blow, his anger was boundless.
“Big brother, please calm down. What I’m saying is for your own good.”
Caden had a serious expression. “Don’t forget, tomorrow is our father’s birthday. Although it doesn’t need to be celebrated grandly, there will definitely be many guests coming and going. If you make a big fuss now, it will not only damage the family’s reputation but also put you in a difficult position in front of our father.”
At these words, Max immediately furrowed his brows.
While he was eager to tear Dustin apart, it was indeed not suitable to cause a commotion on such an important occasion.
The birthday celebration of their father was of utmost importance to the Murray family, and countless eyes were watching.
If news of today’s events were to spread, it would not only damage the family’s prestige but also incur their father’s displeasure.
“Young brother, you’ve said so much. Do you have any good suggestions?” Max asked.
“Use the power of Murray family, but it’s best not to arouse suspicion. In my opinion, it’s better to seek help from the Martial Alliance.”
Caden lowered his voice. “The Martial Alliance has many hidden experts, and if we spend some money, we can easily deal with that kid. Why not take advantage of it? We don’t need to do it ourselves.”
“What do you mean?” Max asked, his interest piqued.
“If we handle it ourselves, we might attract unnecessary attention and trouble. But if we ask the Martial Alliance for help, it will be more discreet. We can use their strength to deal with Dustin, and our Murray family won’t be directly involved,” Caden explained.
“That makes sense. Let’s do that then.”
Max nodded in agreement. If they handled it themselves, it might indeed cause unnecessary trouble. Using the Martial Alliance to deal with Dustin was a more prudent choice.
