Chapter 12
As Kristina pressed the elevator button, she paused. She had forgotten to ask which room Stanley was in
At that moment, Trenton’s hand reached over and pressed the button for the top floor.
Trenton’s voice came from above Kristina’s head, sounding nothing like that of someone with the mental capacity of an eight–year–old. “The top floor is the SVIP ward, the exclusive ward for the McClain family“
When Kristina turned to look at him, he added, “I used to stay on the top floor whenever I was sick.
In the SVIP ward, Stanley’s leg was in a cast, one arm was shung across his chest, and his face bore various degrees of abrasions. When the door opened, Kristina was taken aback by the sight before her.
She had originally thought Stanley was here to accompany Logan. After the wedding turned into a fiasco yesterday, Logan had fallen She never expected that Stanley would be the one lying here, nursing his injuries.

“Kristina, what do you mean by this!” Upon seeing the carnations in Kristina’s hand, Stanley immediately became agitated. “You’re giving me carnations to curse me to death, aren’t you?”
“I don’t mean anything else,” Kristina said with a smile, holding the carnations closer to him. “You bullied my husband. I bought you flowers out of politeness. I just couldn’t think of any flower that would suit you”
The bouquet in Kristina’s hand was clearly the kind given to the deceased. Stanley couldn’t believe how venomous she had become. He clutched the blanket tightly, his knuckles turning white,
“Kristina, are you saying that I bullied him! he shouted, hi pool. I barely managed to climb out.”
eyes bloodshot. “It was Trenton who pretended to be foolish and pushed me into the
“He deliberately spilled water around the pool, causing me to fall and end up like this, Stanley said, turning to Trenton. “You’re framing me, aren’t
“Kristina, you clarify this for me today–who bullied whom?” he yelled, shaking his body.
Kristina nodded thoughtfully. “So that’s how it is”
She had always thought that Trenton was the one who had been bullied, never expecting that Stanley would end up shooting himself in the foot. Seeing Stanley’s disheveled appearance, covered in injuries, her mood suddenly lifted with a sense of satisfaction.
“You know the situation Trenton is in now,” she softened her tone and pushed the carnations forward a bit. “He is, after all, your uncle. You wouldn’t hold any grudge against him, would you?”
The smell of insect repellent wafted into Stanley’s nostrils. He felt a tickle at the tip of his nose and sneezed several times in a row.
“What the hell is this?” he shouted, covering his mouth and nose with his hand. “Kristina, get rid of whatever you’re holding right now,”
As he spoke, Stanley felt an itch all over his body and couldn’t help but scratch his arm. Soon, hives began to swell where he had scratched.
It felt as if his bones were being gnawed by ants, and waves of itching made him extremely uncomfortable.
“Kristina, you did this on purpose! Tormented by the itching, Stanley became even more agitated.
He slapped the camations out of Kristina’s hand, his eyes bloodshot as he raised his hand to grab her neck. “Bitch! I’ll kill your
The moment he raised his hand, Trenton lunged forward, shielding Kristina and pushing his hand away. The petals of the carnations scattered and stuck to Stanley’s body.
Wherever the petals touched, hives erupted furiously. Seeing this, Kristina’s lips curled into a mocking smile.
Stanley was allergic to insect repellent. In her previous life, he had accidentally come into contact with a small amount and had swollen up pig’s head, spending over a week in the hospital.
This time, with so much on him, he was in for a rough time. But this was a hospital. No matter what, Stanley was in no danger of losing his life.
a! You did this on purpose!” Stanley’s eyes were wide with fury as he lunged forward. His crimson, beast–like eyes were fixed on Kristina.
Completely losing his sanity, he kicked over the chair beside him and grabbed the glass from the bedside table, smashing it towards her.
Trenton turned and hugged Kristina, quickly stepping to the side to dodge the attack. The glass hit the wall and shattered into pieces.

Kristina glanced back. Looking at the raging Stanley, a faint, almost imperceptible smile crept into her eyes. “Stanley, look at yourself. All you can do is vent your impotent rage.”

“I’m telling you, today’s just a small lesson.” She paused, her expression turning cold. “If you ever dare to harbor any ill intentions towards Trenton again, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”
Tm putting it out there. Ill protect him with my life if I have to,” she added.
Kristina’s eyes sparkled brilliantly, Sunlight streamed in through the window, casting a halo around her. At that moment, she seemed to glow, captivating anyone who looked at her.
By the time the doctor and nurses rushed into the ward, Kristina had already taken Trenton downstairs.
At the hospital entrance, an elderly man with white hair and a white beard passed by Kristina and Trenton and suddenly stopped.
He stared at Kristina, his expression slightly surprised and his eyes flickering with waves of light
