Chapter 11 - Mabel Leaves The Hospital Refusing His Luxury Estate
Later that afternoon, Mabel packed her few personal belongings into a small overnight bag inside her hospital suite.
Dr. Evans stood by the doorway, watching her with professional concern as she struggled to button her coat.
“Ms. Vance, you are not medically cleared for discharge; your body needs at least another week of recovery,” Dr. Evans warned.
“I cannot stay in this room another minute, Doctor... my mother is handling the transport,” Mabel replied softly.

Lucas stood in the doorway, blocking their path with an expression of intense determination and quiet grief.
“You’re not going to Connecticut, Mabel... you’re coming home with me where our family belongs,” Lucas stated firmly.
Eleanor stepped in front of her daughter defensively, glaring at Lucas with unmitigated hostility.
