Dumping The Ice King His Mini-Tyrant novel Chapter 452

His wounds had been hastily cleaned, but many of the gashes gaped open, raw and ugly, or were stuck together with congealed blood and torn flesh.

“What happened to him?!” Selene’s voice trembled with fear.

Two military police officers blocked her path, forbidding her to get any closer to Leo.

Selene quickly showed them her ID. “I’m Mrs. Vaughn, his niece-in-law—Leo is my mentor!”

One of the guards glanced at the doctor. “I thought you said there weren’t supposed to be any unauthorized people in this building?”

A nurse explained, “Mrs. Vaughn had an emergency C-section last night, and her condition was critical. We transferred her here for better care.”

The guard’s voice was cold as ice. “You need to go. And you are not to tell anyone about what you’ve seen here, understood?”

But how could she possibly just turn and leave at a moment like this?

A group of doctors in white coats approached. One of them lifted the white sheet covering Leo’s legs.

Selene froze, unable to make sense of the two dark, mottled, almost rotten-looking columns beneath the sheet.

Then, realization hit her—those pitted, decaying things were Leo’s legs. Her whole body began to shake uncontrollably.

Even from nearly six feet away, a sickening stench filled her nostrils.

In a panic, Selene stumbled forward, eyes wide with horror, unable to believe what she was seeing.

Even the team of doctors recoiled in shock.

“My God, what happened to him?!”

“Who could do something this monstrous?!”

Even the seasoned nurses couldn’t hold back their nausea, turning away and gagging at the sight of the wriggling maggots buried in the mangled flesh of Leo’s legs.

“Leo!!” Selene cried out in terror, her face drained of all color.

At that moment, she completely forgot about the pain in her abdomen from the operation.

The divorce papers slipped from her grasp and scattered across the floor.

Leo lay on the gurney, oblivious, unmoving—except for a faint tremor in his fingers.

The doctors wheeled him toward the operating room. Selene felt her legs give out and had to brace herself against the wall just to stay standing.

Everything seemed to go numb. She couldn’t hear a single sound, only watched with wide, unblinking eyes as the “SURGERY IN PROGRESS” light flickered on above the doors. It felt as if her heart was dangling by a thread, suspended somewhere far above her chest.

Leo’s assistant stepped out of the elevator and spotted the scattered papers on the floor.

Seeing Selene’s name on them, he bent down to gather the divorce agreement.

He looked up and saw Selene standing outside the operating room.

“Miss Thompson?” he called gently.
