Chapter 276 - 166 So sweet, starting to care for me? _3
Ava Walker is not dead.
Indeed, she just fell from the second floor. So, she only has two fractures, several severe abrasions, and a mild concussion, and that’s about it.
Kinsley Lee sat at the entrance of the operating room, arrogantly saying, "Bring all the best orthopedic surgeons. If there’s any mistake during the surgery, I’ll make sure you all lose your jobs." In a family like the Hallows, she is often suppressed, especially by Atlas Hallow’s arrogant temperament. So, all her suppressed anger erupts when she is outside, as if trying to vent all the grievances she suffered at the Hallow Family.
The doctors naturally said nothing. This kind of surgery isn’t a major operation that requires calling all the orthopedic doctors. In such a large hospital, there are at least dozens of orthopedic doctors, how could they all come?
Kinsley Lee wasn’t particularly concerned about caring for Ava Walker; she just wanted to wait for Ava to finish her surgery to ask what really happened today. She also wanted to ask if Atlas Hallow really conspired with his wife to empty the Hallow Clan?
These were her primary concerns. Kinsley Lee always felt that Ava Walker probably discovered something, which led to Atlas Hallow controlling her. She hadn’t had the chance to meet and discuss with Ava since returning, and this incident seemed like fate. She was going to ask Ava properly once the surgery was over.
If Atlas Hallow indeed dared to do something to swallow the entire Hallow Clan, she would not sit idly by.
The surgery lasted more than three hours, and once Ava Walker was pushed out again, she seemed to be alert.
Kinsley Lee followed Ava into the ward. Since Ava wasn’t wearing anything post-surgery, the bodyguards dared not enter, as she’s their young mistress. It would be a real offense to see anything inappropriate.
This gave Ava Walker the best opportunity.
Her mother was right; she had little chance to approach Charlotte Miller, as Atlas Hallow would certainly watch her closely, guarding against her like a thief. Having Kinsley Lee do this seemed the most appropriate.
The pain was excruciating, as if the fractured bones were causing intense agony post-anesthesia. She gasped, but recalled Atlas’s demeanor when they met earlier; during the snow, standing close to him even made Ava unsure why she jumped—it just seemed that jumping would bring her closer to him...
"Mommy, thank you for visiting me..." She expressed gratitude first, then Ava was preparing how to discuss the matter with Kinsley.
"How could you be so foolish? Even if you plan to die, you should take those who bullied you down too," Kinsley thought of the grievances suffered at the Hallow Family, the slap her husband gave her for speaking up, the loss of face. She felt a strong urge to bite Atlas and Charlotte Miller fiercely, but she had no power to confront them now.
"Did you find any evidence against Atlas?" Kinsley eagerly wanted to know why Ava was detained, and why she jumped?
"I didn’t find evidence against Atlas. I know a secret, a terrifying secret..." Ava’s mouth twisted in a painful smile, her eyes showing brief shadows and venom before swiftly vanishing, too quick for anyone to catch.
Talking about secrets excited Kinsley, as wanting to uncover secrets is a woman’s nature. It’s Atlas Hallow’s secret, and Ava used the term "terrifying," indicating it’s a shocking secret.
Ava adjusted her posture; perhaps her current pain was compensation. She had been eager to meet Kinsley to use her to reveal the secret, but lacked opportunity. Now Kinsley was by her bedside, maybe all truly was destiny.
The fall was severe, making even breathing painful. Ava’s voice wavered as she softly said, "Actually, the child in Charlotte Miller’s belly isn’t Charlotte’s..."
Kinsley felt she’d never heard anything more terrifying or funny in her life.
She always believed Atlas Hallow liked Charlotte Miller, but how could this be?
