Chapter 408

After tucking the blanket snugly around Wallace, Melina suddenly stood and headed toward the door. One of the guards moved to block her, but she grabbed him by the arm, twisted it sharply, and delivered a swift kick to his stomach. Before he could cry out, she clamped her hand over his mouth. Her voice was low but laced with deadly seriousness. "Keep quiet. If you wake Mr. Wentworth Senior, I'll make sure you regret it." Her words carried the raw, desperate intensity of someone pushed to their breaking point. She looked like a cornered wolf, fierce and ready to risk it all. The guard, who was about to yell, instinctively shut his mouth. Melina smirked in grim satisfaction. "I want to see Joseph." The guards exchanged uneasy glances. She pressed on, her tone colder. "I know you can't give me my phone. I'm not asking for that. Just call Joseph. Do you even know why they stationed so many of you here after I showed up? If nobody gets him, I'll make sure you find out."
