761 Vincent's Violent Side
Day Seventy-Nine...
[Country J: Sakura District Hospital...]
Jane and Tatsumi arrived at the hospital. They headed straight to the emergency room searching for Mia.
"Have you seen my daughter? Where is Mia?" Jane asked every doctor and nurse she could cacross inside the emergency room.
Tatsumi kept following her, supporting her. It did not take long before one of the nurses informed her that Mia was sent to the operating room. Her guardian was waiting outside.
Jane and Tatsumi didn't waste their tas they rushed to the operating room. They saw Speed in her panicking state, just staring at the operating room door absentmindedly.
Speed felt like her world was about to crumble at any minute and her death cknocking on her door.
'Please, keep her safe. Keep her safe! She prayed inwardly.

Speed lost the ability to speak, her guilt consuming her. It was her fault that Mia ran away. She told her she would bring her back to their country without considering Mia's feelings.
Mia wanted to stay so that she could be with Jane. But Speed couldn't disobey Vincent's order.
"I'm sorry. I'm truly sorry." Speed could only apologize to Jane, looking away.
"Jane..." Tatsumi held Jane's shoulder. "Don't blher. It's not her fault that the accident happened. The driver is now being detained in the police precinct."
Jane finally let go of Speed, shifting her gaze to the door of the emergency room. Deep inside, she was angry at herself. At first, she doubted Mia's identity. She didn't show her any warmth the moment she saw her in the headquarters.
"I... don't know if I will be able to handle this... I can't lose her twice. I'd rather die than lose my baby once again." The pain of losing her child was still fresh in Jane's heart. She didn't want her to die.
"Just be strong, Jane. Mia will be alright." Tatsumi tried to console her. "The doctor is doing her best to save her. This hospital is the most famous hospital in our country!"
Tatsumi felt the need to reassure Jane, otherwise, she would break down. She needed to keep her focus. Tatsumi rubbed her back for her to calm down a little.
Before he knew it, Jane leaned on him, covering her face using both hands. Her body started to shake as she sobbed. Jane needed to let it out.bender
"I'm a useless mother. I failed to protect her again. Why do I feel like I don't deserve to be a mother? Is this the reason why I can't be with her?" Jane expressed her thoughts.
Tatsumi just stayed silent, listening to her. He patted her shoulder once more.
They were still in that gloomy state when two figures joined them- Mr. Hiroshi and Vincent.
"Jane!" Mr. Hiroshi immediately approached his daughter, hugging her as he saw her crying.
"Pa..." Jane hugged him back, seeking his comfort.
Then suddenly, they heard a loud smack resounding in the hallway. SLAP! Official channel update no ve l}{n ex t.c om-
Everyone was surprised when Vincent slapped Speed's face so hard that her lips bled. Vincent looked like someone who was about to kill, staring at Speed with his murderous glare.
"My King, I'm so- Argh!" Before Speed could complete her sentence, Vincent kicked her in her abdomen, thus stopping her from speaking further.
Vincent's kind demeanor was gone. He was showing his devil side now. And he didn't care even if Jane and Mr. Hiroshi were watching him.
"I told you to protect her! She's my precious daughter!" Vincent said through his gritted teeth. He threw another punch, hitting Speed's abdomen.
Speed didn't fight back. She just stayed still, accepting her punishment from Vincent. Vincent was also boiling in rage. Mia was so important to him. He couldn't lose her!
Vincent was blaming Speed for what happened. All he could think of was to beat her to death. In his mind, she should be the one who got hit by the car, not his precious daughter, Mia.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHis coolness and rationality disappeared upon reaching the hospital. He could imagine Mia's severe injury. Speed's clothes were soaked by Mia's blood. How much blood did she lose?
Speed dropped to her knees, enduring the pain inflicted on her by Vincent. This was her fate. In her mind, she deserved this punishment.
Vincent threw another punch, aiming at Speed's face, however before his fist could make contact with her, a strong hand gripped Vincent's wrist thus stopping him from hitting Speed.
"Stop it! You bastard! Don't assault a woman in front of me!" Tatsumi intervened. He even pushed Vincent away, shielding Speed using his body.
Tatsumi could no longer tolerate this violence. He couldn't watch Vincent beating a woman. Speed wasn't even protecting herself. She was just accepting her unjust punishment.
No one wanted this to happen. Even Speed suffered emotionally. Tatsumi could feel that Speed was blaming herself and was consumed by her own guilt. But this was not entirely her fault.
"Don't interfere! I deserve this!" Speed screamed at Tatsumi, clenching her fists as she shut her eyes. She was too embarrassed to face them.
"You don't deserve this!" Tatsumi retorted, gritting his teeth. He already had enough. Without hesitation, Tatsumi turned to Speed and carried her. He needed to bring her to the emergency room to have her wounds treated. Vincent mercilessly assaulted her.
The moment Tatsumi took action, Speed could no longer fight him. She was exhausted both physically and emotionally. She just let him do what he wanted.
As Tatsumi walked away, Speed began sobbing in his arms. She wanted to cry. She was also having a hard time. But she felt like she was the enemy of the whole world.
She was hurt because Vincent didn't even let her explain. He refused to listen.
"I... I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry..." Speed began apologizing again in between her sobs. She wanted Vincent's forgiveness. However, she was afraid that her King would hate her forever.
"Sigh." Tatsumi took a deep sigh as he watched the woman sobbing in his arms. 'Why did things end up like this? I just hope Mia will survive! Tatsumi thought to himself, feeling sorry for both Jane and Speed.
