Sarah's sharp retort instantly made Drake flush crimson with rage.
His fingers dug into her arm like iron clamps as he dragged her toward the hospital room door without explanation.
"What do you think you're doing?
Let her go!"
Ryan, who had remained silent until now, rose from the sofa in one swift motion.
He seized Sarah's other arm, locking eyes with Drake in a tense standoff.
The air between them crackled with hostility.
Drake, who had long despised him, shoved Ryan aside and yanked Sarah toward the exit.
But Ryan wasn't backing down.
He lunged forward, his fist connecting with Drake face in a sharp crack.
The two men immediately grappled, throwing punches in a furious tangle.
Sarah stood frozen, watching the two men brawl over her.
Tears spilled down her cheeks in an instant.
She desperately tugged at Ryan's sleeve while
shouting at Drake, "What is wrong with you?
Are you trying to tear my family apart?
Is that what you want?
Drake, grow up!
