Back then, he had also sat in this very spot, regretting his recklessness and praying for a chance to make amends.
Noisy voices came from the corridor, and in the blink of an eye, Roberto appeared in front of Damian.
The security guards who had rushed over immediately explained.
“Mr. Barrette, this gentleman says he is a friend of Mrs. Barrette.”
Damian waved his hand, indicating it was fine.
Roberto glanced at the woman in the hospital room, seeing her lying there, pale and covered in tubes.
The next second, he punched Damian in the face.
“You bastard!”
Roberto was quickly restrained by Damian’s men and pinned against the wall.
Damian waved his hand, signaling the bodyguards to release Roberto.
The next moment, Damian’s fist landed on Roberto’s face.
The two men quickly got into a brawl.
Who would have thought that two powerful figures in the business world would end up settling their issues in the hos- pital corridor in the most primitive and brutal way?
The security guards nearby exchanged glances, but none dared to intervene.
Fortunately, this floor was at the top of the hospital, and no one else could get in. Otherwise, if someone had filmed it, it would have been another news story.
Roberto was no match for Damian.
He fell to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
“Damian! I won’t let you get away with this! For what you’ve done to Claudine, I will make you pay!”
Damian looked down at Roberto, who was lying on the ground.
“You should be grateful that, for my wife’s sake, I’m letting you off this time! Get out!”
He took a tissue from a bodyguard nearby, wiped the blood from his fist, and tossed the bloodstained tissue beside
Roberto.
“Damian!”

Roberto was unwilling to accept this!
He struggled to his feet, standing in front of Damian.

“What right do you have to treat her like this? You have no idea how wonderful she is. If you don’t know how to cher- ish her, then let her go!”
Roberto was like a trapped beast, his hands held by security, able only to roar at Damian.
“You don’t deserve her at all!”
Roberto glared at Damian, his eyes filled with rage.
He hated himself for not bringing Claudine back to his side sooner, and he hated that no matter how hard he tried, even now, he could never compare to Damian, who was born at the top of the pyramid.
He hated Damian even more for so easily obtaining what others could never have in a lifetime, for being lucky enough to marry Claudine, only to hurt her like this!
Damian narrowed his eyes.
He grabbed Roberto by the collar, his gaze full of the contempt and arrogance of someone in power.
“Remember this: Claudine is my wife!
“If you dare to have any improper thoughts, I’ll make sure you never get back up again!”
With that, he shoved Roberto away forcefully.
“Throw him out!”
Just like that, Roberto was thrown out of the hospital by Damian’s security guards.
He was left, battered and bruised, at the busy entrance of the hospital.
Even though he was no longer the helpless orphan he once was;
Even though he was now the respected investor, Roberto.
Bridgette could still humiliate him with a single bank card.
Damian could still knock him to the ground with a punch and throw him out like garbage.
After all these years of hard work, he still couldn’t be with Claudine openly and rightfully!
He was unwilling to accept this!

In the hospital room, a nurse was applying medicine to Damian’s wounds.
The medical staff had all witnessed the fight just now, but the Barrette family had already made it clear that no one

was to speak a word about what had happened.
A security guard came to report.
“Mr. Barrette, the man has been thrown out.”
Damian nodded.
His hand had been bandaged, and he was about to get up and leave.
The nurse came over and said, “Mr. Barrette, Mrs. Barrette is awake!”
Claudine opened her eyes and the first thing she saw was a white ceiling.
She recalled the moment before she lost consciousness and regretted her impulsiveness.
For the sake of a man, she had nearly lost her life.
She must have been out of her mind to do such a thing!
The door to the hospital room opened, and Damian entered from outside, dressed in protective clothing.
Claudine was still connected to various tubes, her small, palm-sized face completely devoid of color, making her look extremely weak.
Damian was filled with guilt and self-reproach.
He knew that all of this was his fault.
He walked to the bedside and bent down to look at the woman lying there.
