Chapter 72
“Lucas! Are you okay?”
It was my mother-in-law.
She looked at Lucas’s already swelling face, then turned to me angrily.
“Lola! How could you hit Lucas like that? You’re acting like a total shrew!”
“Cody’s condition is hopeless. This isn’t Lucas’s fault, so stop taking it out on him!”
“And what’s wrong with signing the donation papers? The boy’s dead anyway. Do you plan to keep his body at home forever?”
The more she spoke, the more outrageous her words became.
I was seething. With my eyes burning red, I slapped Lucas again, this time on the other cheek.
Two hard slaps in a row.
Lucas stood there, dazed.
Even my mother-in-law hadn’t expected this. She screamed and rushed to check on him, wailing in shock.
I looked at my reddened hand coldly.
“Hurt, doesn’t it? Of course it does. A parent feels the pain of their child.”
“Get out of here! Say one more word, and I’ll throw my thermos at you!”
My mother-in-law’s eyes bulged in fury as she trembled.
“You shrew You’re a complete shrew!”
The scene was chaotic. Lucas suppressed his rage and turned to me.
“Lola, you’ve slapped me, yelled at me. Are you done yet?”
“Come with me and sign the paperst
“There’s nothing more to talk about. You already nodded your head in the doctor’s office earlier, and you can’t go back on your word now!”
With that, he snatched the phone from my hand and tried to drag me away by the My mother-in-law helped him, pushing me towards the door.
I gritted my teeth and struggled with all my strength.
Realizing I couldn’t win against the two of them, I screamed at the top of my lungs.
Dorsori Tursel Security! Help! They’re trying to kidnap me!”
Several nurses rushed over
Recognizing Lucas, they hesitated awkwardly.
Locas forced a mile.
It’s fine. My wife is just a lile emotional. Don’t worry about it.”
I wasn’t giving up and continued to shout.
“They laid hands on me first
If you don’t stop them, I’ll keep yelling until every patient’s family member in the Building hear
The nurses exchanged uncertain glances, but eventually stepped forward to separate us.
Reluctantly, Lucas let go of my arm.
Finally, I felt a small sense of relief and glanced at the clock again.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Only an hour left until the transfer team arrived.
Just one more hour, and I could take Cody away from this place forever!
“Lucas, what’s going on? Why aren’t you coming over here?”
A sweet, familiar voice called out. It was Nancy.
