Lorraine felt like she was drenched from head to toe. She stared at Austin in shock and disbelief. “Where did you take her!”

“You all will face rrinibution, Lorraine said, her eyes blazing with anger, staring at Austin’s mother.
Austin’s mother sperred and rolled her eyes. Clearly, she didn’t believe she would face any consequences.
“Call the polior,” Lorraine told Carl, clenching her fists as she burried out.
Carl grabbed Austin by the neck. “Which mental hospital is it! As her guardian, was it you who signed the papers? Come with us.”
Austin shoved Carl away with a cold sneer. “The injury on my head was her doing”
“Which mental hospital Carl demanded, yanking Austin’s collar.
Austin leaned against the wall, just umiling without saying anything

“Go get the director! She’s coughing up blood! What’s going on? Hurry up and get the director?”
Courney didah opent her eyes. She bit her tongue, convulsing in her unconscious state and coughing up blood.
The hospital’s doctors were specialists in psychiatry and psychology, without any emergency experience, and they were too afraid to take the risk or responsibility. Even though it was a psychiatric hospital, if Courtney died here, they would still be responsabile.
So they’d rather risk a frontal lobotomy on Courtney than dare let her die outright.
“The patient in bed 36 has been given too much selative. She’s having convulsions and coughing up blood!” The doctors shouted in panic, calling for the director, as the Connney’s condition was unsanal.
