Chapter 326:
In this charged atmosphere, Theo, holding a thick book on neurosurgery, looked laid-back as if he were in a quiet study.
“Kaiden, you are finally here. These two groups will turn my hospital into a battleground if you don’t intervene.” Theo closed the book and said, “Your men are preventing the newcomers from entering. They only follow your orders. These newcomers insisted that they be allowed in because the patient inside is their leader p>
Theo wouldn’t be present if the situation hadn’t escalated to the point where someone needed to take charge.
“Dr. Stephens, I apologize for the trouble,” Ellie said apologetically. “You can communicate with Baylee directly p>
“Miss Curtis?” Theo pointed toward the ward, seemingly recalling something amusing. “She’s in the ward, but the man in the bed seems to be out of his mind, and he won’t let her go p>
“Then you know…” Ellie began but hesitated mid-sentence.

She wondered if Kaiden came here with the intention of starting a fight.
Before the verbal confrontation escalated, Ellie hastily explained, “Do you know the relationship between me and Baylee? Baylee is the lady inside p>
The crew-cut man hesitated for a moment and then said respectfully, “Miss Gordon, please come in p>
Ellie was surprised. She was just a friend of Baylee’s, yet she was treated with such respect. It was evident that Marvin’s subordinates held Baylee in high regard.
Inside the ward, Marvin lay with bandages on his head, his eyes closed, seemingly asleep. However, even in slumber, he clutched Baylee’s hand tightly, as if afraid she might slip away.
“Uh… What happened?” Ellie asked quietly. “You two p>
Sporting a helpless expression, Baylee even succumbed to a bit of emotional breakdown. “Marvin’s memories are in disarray, and I got stuck with him p>
