Chapter 306:
“You should not have done that,” she said, her voice low and slightly unsteady. “You tore your IV out for a vase of flowers. It was reckless p>
Crawford turned his head on the pillow and looked at her. The corners of his pale lips lifted into a faint, incredibly gentle smile.
“I saw her raise her hands,” Crawford rasped, his breathing shallow. “My body moved before my brain could process what she was holding. I could not control it, June p>
June stopped wiping her hands. She looked at him, her chest tightening with a profound, heavy ache.

Before she could say another word, a massive, violent force struck the room.
BANG.
The heavy hospital door was kicked open with such brutal force that it slammed into the interior wall and shook the glass observation window in its frame.
June and Crawford snapped their heads toward the noise.
Cole stepped into the room.
He looked like something dragged out of hell. His expensive suit was wrinkled and ruined, his hair a chaotic mess. But it was his eyes that were truly terrifying — completely bloodshot, burning with a toxic, murderous rage. A thick, suffocating aura of pure violence radiated from every inch of him.
His gaze went directly to the man lying in the hospital bed.
June registered the lethal intent in Cole’s posture in an instant. The soft, guilty expression on her face vanished. Her eyes turned to chips of freezing ice, every muscle in her body locking into a state of absolute defense.
She stepped quickly forward, placing herself directly between Cole and Crawford’s bed.
It was a pure, instinctual act of protection.
That single step drove a burning steel spike straight through Cole’s brain.

“Move!” Cole roared.
The force sent June stumbling backward. Her heels slipped on the smooth floor. She lost her balance and crashed hard into the metal medical cabinet against the wall. A sharp gasp of pain escaped her lips as her shoulder struck the steel edge.
Cole did not look back at her.
He crossed to the bed in two massive strides, reached down, and grabbed the collar of Crawford’s hospital gown with both hands. He yanked upward with brutal force. As he moved, the healing burn scars spanning his broad back tore open beneath his ruined jacket. A blinding flash of white-hot agony fired through his nerve endings, but the murderous rage in his brain overrode every physical limit. The thick veins in his neck bulged against his skin, sweat breaking out instantly across his forehead. He ground his teeth together so hard his jaw audibly cracked, driving through his own agony in order to inflict it on someone else.
“How dare you touch her!” Cole screamed, the sound a guttural, animalistic roar that filled the room. “How dare you p>
