A Matrilocal Husband's Counterattack

Chapter 96: Seven Rays of White Light

At nine o'clock in the evening, Ethan brought Sophia to the hospital.

She was merely unconscious from the drug's effects. After most of the toxins were expelled through acupuncture, she would be fine with a good night's sleep.

Ethan spent money to secure Ward No. 6 for Sophia but ended up placing her in Ward No. 8 to rest.

In these uncertain times, a little extra caution couldn't hurt.

"Ricky, Sofia, take good care of her. Later, Sofia, contact the Thompson family and tell them she got drunk and is sleeping it off at your place."

Ethan transferred 100,000 dollars to them and added, "I'm heading to the police station shortly."

He was actually planning to find Liam Collins.

"Brother Ethan, you can't go."

Sofia instinctively grabbed Ethan's arm. "If you go, you might not come back."

Although Ethan was skilled, he would still be crushed by the power and wealth of the Traum family.

She believed that if Ethan entered the police station, the Traum family would spare no expense to ruin him.

Ricky also nodded repeatedly, "Yeah, Brother Ethan, you can't go. Assaulting someone publicly is a serious crime."

"I know it's a serious crime, which is why I'm cooperating with the investigation."

Ethan patted their shoulders. "Don't worry, I'll be fine."

Ricky and Sofia wanted to persuade him further, but Ethan stopped them with a gentle wave of his hand, "You'll see me tomorrow morning."

Ethan wasn't acting recklessly. He had already considered the consequences when he stabbed River Traum. Although he couldn't guarantee a clean getaway, he was confident he wouldn't end up in jail.

After saying this, Ethan picked up his jacket and headed for the lobby.

"Quick! Doctor, doctor! Save my brother! Save my brother!"

Just as Ethan reached the first floor of the hospital, an emergency stretcher was rushed in, carrying a man with gunshot wounds.

He was wearing an oxygen mask, covered in blood, and his condition looked grim.

As the doctors and nurses urgently took over the stretcher, Ethan noticed several people following along. Leading the group was Jack Yates.

He was running alongside the stretcher, shouting at the doctors, "Save my brother! Save my brother!"

Ethan was stunned. Raymond Yates?

The operating room happened to be available. With no time to waste, the doctors immediately pushed the patient into the emergency room, pulling the curtain closed to begin treatment on the spot.

"Blood pressure is dropping rapidly. Heart rate is rising. Platelet count is decreasing."

"Adjust blood volume, correct electrolyte imbalance, and replenish platelets."

"This isn't good."

"Blood pressure is at zero. The heart has stopped!"

"Defibrillation and CPR!"

The doctors' and nurses' voices echoed, making the emergency room even more tense.

Jack Yates and his companions were pacing anxiously outside the door.

"Damn it! Damn it!"

Jack Yates punched the wall repeatedly, venting his frustration.

"Deputy Director Yates, what happened?"
