Dumping The Ice King His Mini-Tyrant novel Chapter 279

He turned his head and saw that inside the hospital room, the doctors were bustling around the bed.

Dames’s condition. It didn’t look good—did it?

“What happened to your son?”

“It’s all thanks to his heartless mother! She’s the one who left him like this!”

He hadn’t finished speaking when a cold, razor-sharp glare cut across his face.

It felt as if a bitter wind had sliced his cheek, leaving it stinging.

Harrison looked over. “Uncle, why are you giving me that look?”

Had he said something wrong?

“My son went to beg Selene for forgiveness. He just wanted his mother to look at him, to give him a hug. But Selene left him outside in the pouring rain, didn’t care about him at all! Now Dames is lying here like this, and she’s his mother—doesn’t she bear any responsibility?”

Leo’s strikingly handsome face remained unreadable. “Are you hoping I’ll join you in blaming Selene?”

Harrison met his gaze head-on. “Uncle, you’re a Vaughn. You should stand with your own family, not take sides against us.”

Leo’s deep, unfathomable eyes regarded Harrison coolly, emotionless. “Of course I stand with the Vaughns—unless someone in the family crosses a line.”

Annoyance flickered across Harrison’s face, his voice turning sharp. “Selene and I are divorced, Uncle. What right do you have to defend her?”

Leo seemed far too invested in Selene. This was well beyond the concern of a former teacher for his student—if he’d ever really taught her at all.

“Do you even know the real reason Selene married you?”

Harrison froze, a dull ringing building in his mind.

The moment the words left his lips, Harrison burst out laughing.

What nonsense was Leo spouting now?

Was he actually interested in Selene?

He kept defending her, again and again—could he really be impartial?

Leo was just making things up to justify siding with her!

“If Selene stayed in the Vaughn family because of you, why didn’t she just marry you herself?”

Harrison’s lips twisted into a mocking sneer, his voice laced with malice.
