Chapter 312
Maisy was terrified. “It was just a movie clip, Dad. We won’t watch it again. It started playing accidentally,” Maisy said.
Maisy’s legs had gone weak. Only now did she realize how much Skylar had changed
-the latter was ruthless and unforgiving.
Skylar watched Maisy struggle while keeping a straight face.
Jeffrey, however, stopped in his tracks. He clearly believed in Maisy.
Meanwhile, Kenny secretly let out a sigh of relief upon learning it was just a movie
clip.
“So it was just a movie.” Samuel scoffed, glaring at Skylar with even more disdain.
You have time for movies even at a time like this?”
“Maisy, you’ve always been sensible. Don’t mess around now,” Jeffrey said sternly.
Maisy nodded with her fists clenched tightly. “Okay, I understand.”
As Jeffrey walked away, Maisy turned to Skylar and whispered, “I know you hate me,
but we can work something out. I can’t kneel and apologize today, but I can give your
I
money.”
“I don’t need your money. Get lost,” Skylar replied coldly. She was unwilling to waste.
any more words on Maisy.
Skylar knew Maisy wouldn’t kneel. But if Maisy did it a thousand times, Skylar would
delete the video. Unfortunately, Maisy didn’t have it in her.
The video wasn’t ready for the Williamses to see yet. But messing with Maisy had
visibly lifted Skylar’s spirits./
“You!” Maisy seethed, wishing she could strangle Skylar.
Finally, Maisy breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Skylar exit the photo album without playing the video. She needed a permanent solution to keep the video from being discovered.
Two hours later, as Skylar was about to leave, the light above the operation room
went off.
The doctor emerged first, and Jeffrey and the others hurried over.
“Doctor, how is my wife?” Jeffrey asked anxiously.
Skylar stood behind them. Her eyes were fixed on the doctor before she glanced at
the operating room.
Taking in the large family before him, the doctor’s tone was somber. “The injuries to her legs were severe, and there was damage to her liver. We couldn’t save her legs.”
The doctor went on to explain Sadie’s condition. Having just come out of surgery,
Sadie was still in critical condition and needed to be monitored in the intensive care
unit.
Thus, the Williams family didn’t get a chance to see Sadie at all. They were
dumbfounded by the doctor’s words.
“Her legs… they couldn’t be saved?” Jeffrey staggered back as he was unable to process the blow. This meant Sadie would be disabled for life.
Kenny and his brothers were equally shocked. Even after a moment had passed, they struggled to comprehend what they had heard.
Maisy was too stunned to speak. Sadie’s legs couldn’t be saved? That meant she’d
be bedridden and would need constant care.
After giving his instructions, the doctor left to attend to other patients.
The Williamses stood silently by the doorway, all overwhelmed with disbelief and
grief.
“How could this be?” Samuel’s eyes were bloodshot with sorrow.
