Chapter 318
Sadie was on the verge of a breakdown. How could this have happened to her? How could she have ended up disabled?
She was Sadie Coleman, after all–she’d always been the epitome of elegance and
power, whether among friends or family.
How could she now be confined to a bed, reliant on others for even the most basic
needs?
“Quick, all of you! Money isn’t an issue for us. We can afford the best doctors in
Jispsburg to operate on me!” Sadie shrieked.
Kenny and his brothers could only watch helplessly as Sadie remained hysterical and
oblivious to her circumstances.
Feeling weary and frustrated, Jeffrey urged gently, “Darling, we’re already at the finest hospital in the Jispburg. The surgeon attending to you is the very best. We’ve spared no expense.
“You survived a very severe accident. It’s a miracle that you’re still with us today. I understand it’s hard for you to accept it now, but we’re all here for you.”
“No… no… I want my legs back! I want my legs!” Sadie cried out, but her voice was
strained by the recent ordeal.
Sadie’s protests were feeble, yet her desperation was overwhelming. It was a side of Sadie the Williamses had never witnessed before, and it deeply disturbed and
unsettled them.
However, the situation that unfolded was irrevocable. This was the cruel reality they
had to face.
“Darling, please calm down. Getting agitated won’t help your recovery. You’ve just undergone a major surgery; your body needs rest,” Jeffrey advised, frowning.
Peter found Sadie’s shrieks annoying. “Mom, you’ve always been so strong. Just try to accept what’s happened. If you continue to cause a scene, it’ll only make it harder for everyone.”
Sadie stared at her husband and children, seeing not just their pain but also their
Impatience.
Suddenly, a sharp pang shot through her heart. Did they truly understand what she was going through? She’d just been amputated!
Meanwhile, Skylar had settled into her hotel room. After unpacking, she slipped into the sundress she had eagerly brought along and ventured out.
It was 8:30 pm, and the streets were still lively with bustling crowds. The hotel,
nestled in the heart of the city, opened onto a vibrant pedestrian strip.
Bright lights and the hum of activity surrounded Skylar.
Skylar then strolled leisurely and savored the local snacks that caught her eye..

However, having indulged in a hearty meal earlier, she resisted the temptation of
more local delicacies.
Instead, Skylar admired the unique local sundresses on display and picked out a few
of her favorites.
Later, she found a seat in a bar. While enjoying the soothing strains of a live
performance, she suddenly felt her phone buzz in her bag.
Skylar hadn’t used her phone much since arriving in Korel City. She’d only used it for
quick transactions.
She wouldn’t have noticed the incessant calls if she hadn’t wanted to record the
singer’s performance.
After noticing missed calls from Joe, she excused herself from the lively bar. The noise inside made it impossible to hear clearly.
Outside, she answered the call.
“Where are you?” Joe’s voice was cold but held a hint of concern.
“I went out shopping and stopped by a bar. It was too noisy, and I didn’t hear my

phone ring. Are you… done with your work?” Skylar glanced back at the bar, where a new singer had taken the stage.
The atmosphere was now much quieter, with a ballad playing.
“Send me your location and stay put,” Joe said firmly.
