Chapter 13 - 13: The Ill-Fated Mother and Daughter Are Driven Away
Seeing Lily Gray’s lack of cooperation, Michelle Carter’s expression suddenly darkened.
She signaled Zara Lucas, who nodded in understanding
The pair moved to either side of Lily’s bed, preparing to force her to sign the document. The door to the patient’s room was abruptly opened from the outside.
“It’s these two women, they are patients who escaped from the Psychiatry Department, you quickly catch them and take them back!”
Several medical personnel in white lab coats and masks rushed into the room.
Michelle Carter and Zara Lucas were completely caught off guard and in just a few seconds, they were restrained by the medical personnel.
“Let me go… I am Mrs. Lucas Michelle Carter, you better release me or else I will sue you into bankruptcy!”
“What… What are you doing, you got the wrong person! I am the eldest daughter of the Lucas family, you can’t treat me this way… Let go, let go now!”
One of the medical personnel in the white lab coat ordered coldly, “The director said that these two are severe cases of delusional disorder. Seal their mouths with duct tape and tie them up. If they continue to shout like this, they will disturb more patients.”
The other medical personnel performed without suspicion, they have seen many patients like this and are not surprised.
After a chaotic scene, the previously arrogant Michelle Carter and Zara Lucas were taken away. Their bodyguards had already been controlled by the people Samuel Mckinley brought along.
Reporters who were originally stopped are unimpeded now, taking cameras and shooting intensively at Michelle Carter and Zara Lucas. If Brandon Lucas and Austin Lucas don’t spend a lot of money to control public opinion after this, their actions will surely embarrass the Lucas family.
The formerly bustling hospital room quickly quieted down.
“Miss Gray, are you hurt?” As Lily was wondering what had happened, Samuel Mckinley appeared at the door.
“Those people just now… You arranged that?” She can’t help squinting her eyes.
“No, it wasn’t me, it was Mr. Cooper who arranged it. Miss Gray, I went out to report to Mr. Cooper about the situation here, Mr. Cooper knew you were in trouble and immediately sent people over.”
“In that case… I now owe Mr. Cooper a favor, please thank him for me.” Lily Gray spoke casually. She didn’t really care for this man whose face she couldn’t even remember clearly.
“Then, Miss Gray, you get some rest now… I’ll take my leave now.” Having delivered the message, the rest was up to Miss Gray to understand.
“Mm, take care.” Even though she had questions, Lily Gray didn’t show it.
After Samuel Mckinley left, Lily Gray took out her cell phone and called her best friend Vivian Walters. She, Vivian, and Skye Brown were best friends since their student days and the friendship persisted after they graduated from university.
Skye Brown went abroad to continue her studies. Both Vivian and Lily got married while Vivian was busy with her work. She had been heavily pressured by the Lucas family recently and didn’t dare to tell her friends about being tormented by the family. Now that she decided to divorce, she isn’t afraid to tell her friends anymore.
The phone rang for a long time before Vivian picked up.
“Hello, Vivian… Don’t you love me anymore? Why did you take so long to answer my call?” Lily Gray teased, speaking with a feigned upset tone.
“Ah… Lily, I… uh huh… No, I haven’t been doing anything…”
On the other end of the phone, Vivian’s voice sounded a bit strange.
