Chapter 6 - THE SURGICAL CRISIS
Inside Operating Room 4, heart monitors beeped rapidly in an erratic, terrifying rhythm.
"Placental abruption confirmed! Blood pressure dropping fast!" Dr. Harrison yelled to the surgical team.
Outside in the waiting corridor, Ethan’s father-in-law, Marcus Miller, burst through the double doors with a red face.
"Ethan! What did you do to my family?!" Marcus roared, marching up to Ethan with his fist clenched.
Ethan stood up slowly, his tall frame dwarfing the older man as his black leather jacket flared open.
"Touch me, Marcus, and I will lay you out on this hospital floor," Ethan warned, his eyes burning with lethal fury.
"Chloe is my daughter! You had no right to hand her over to the troopers like a common criminal!" Marcus snarled.
"Your daughter tried to murder my unborn child in my own living room!" Ethan shouted back, echoing down the hall.
Security officers quickly rushed between the two men, holding Marcus back as he continued to hurl threats.
