A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride novel Chapter 18

Mark Tremont’s reply was nothing but a cold scoff, his response made the dean shudder and kept his mouth shut.

After some time, a few bodyguards in black suits and sunglasses hurried over.

“Sir, we’ve looked into it. The offender is a fool who’s mentally challenged. Twenty-one years old, son of the Southline University’s cafeteria lady. He’s usually the handyman of the cafeteria. His actions today were completely unfounded as he was unable to answer anything we asked. Due to his condition, it’s highly unlikely to send him to jail.”

“Then send him to the mental institution! Is an aggressive lunatic supposed to be kept on the campus to continue harming others?” Mark Tremont’s reply came close to a low growl, his deadly frosty tone echoing in the corridor.

“Yes, sir!” The bodyguards left in a hurry once again.

The dean was hesitant to speak, wearing a troubled look on his face. Mark Tremont cast his gaze at him and sneered. “What is it? Are you unhappy with my decision?”

“No, no… It’s just that… The fool’s quite foolish, yes, but he’s not psychologically ill at all… He’s usually very polite and well mannered. I don’t know what went wrong today. A sane person will go crazy in a mental institution, let alone a mentally challenged one…” the dean spoke quickly.

Mark Tremont snorted, “You can go instead!”

Cold sweat dotted the dean’s forehead. “No, no, no, you’re right. We’ll do it your way…”

It had never occurred to him that Mark Tremont, who was always amiable and gentle, actually possessed a terrorizing side too. If one must point fingers, the blame could only be placed on the fool’s misfortune – what had him acting so crazy out of the blue?

No one knew how long it had been until the doors of the emergency ward finally opened. The doctor who came out was the same one who treated Arianne Wynn when she fainted the last time. He walked straight to Mark Tremont and said, “I mentioned the patient’s poor health last time. Her anemia has positively worsened, now that she has suffered from severe blood loss. Make sure she’s properly nourished after this. The patient’s wound is quite deep. Closure of the wound is now completed but scarring is inevitable. The patient is no longer in a critical condition now and can be admitted to a normal ward. She can be discharged after a few days of supervision.”
