Chapter 119 Once Expected

“Sister, surely you don’t blame me for doing something terrible, do you? I just wanted to teach her a lesson. If she heals properly, she can still use her arm… just not as nimbly as before,” Dewitt said with a gentle smile, which oddly seemed like a devil’s whisper.

Sylvia knew she was too late. She had been keeping tabs on Dewitt for days, fearing he might do something drastic. Now that it had indeed happened, she didn’t know what to say.

*So, are you planning to remove Cyril’s legs next?”

I

“Of course,” Dewitt replied. “I healed Cyril’s legs back then, and now it’s time I take them back. Since he treated you poorly, I will not let him off. When I operated on him, he vowed to never let down his wife. And since he has wronged you, why should I keep my promise? Clearly, he hasn’t kept his.”

This was Dewitt’s greatest source of anger. When he first operated on Cyril, Cyril was unaware of Dewitt’s relation to Sylvia and had quietly mentioned being good to his wife. But looking at how things turned out, Dewitt felt betrayed.

Sylvia was at a loss, her brother, once an angel clad in white, now more akin to a demon claiming souls.

“But I’ve already said I’d put the past behind us, to consider it my repayment for him saving my life. You

know that…”

“What sort of repayment have you not already made? Marrying him, withstanding his family’s

mistreatment he owes you much more than you owe him. Besides, your debt is with Cyril. What does

Bonnie have to do with it?”

Dewitt had no interest in Sylvia’s explanations; his mind was made up, and nothing could be undone.

“What are you two doing?”

Cyril approached, carrying a box. Upon seeing Sylvia and Dewitt arguing at the door, he was puzzled about their quarrel.

Dewitt’s mood soured when he saw Cyril, and he suddenly wielded a scalpel, advancing towards Cyril. Sylvia, plagued with a headache, quickly stepped in to stop

Dewitt.

“I apologize; we were wrong today. I promise to make this up to you, but let’s leave it at that for now.

We’re going.”

Although enraged, Dewitt hesitated, not wanting to hurt Sylvia with the scalpel in his hand or make her lose face. Reluctantly, he packed up his things and left with Sylvia.

However, as he passed Cyril, Dewitt shot him a dark look filled with warning.

“Today you’re lucky, but remember, your luck won’t last forever!”

Chilled by Dewitt’s words, Cyril rushed into Bonnie’s room and was met by her wails of pain, sobbing

bitterly.

He promptly pressed the call button for help.

Chapter 110 Orice Expected

Bonnie cried out to her brother, “It’s all because of that ‘great‘ doctor you recommended. Look what he did to my arm; he threatened to take your legs too. What kind of doctor does this? Why did he do this to me after performing surgery? I want him to pay, Brother, you can’t just let this go!”

Cyril looked at Bonnie with a stoic expression, feeling that the sister he knew had become a stranger to

him.

“Why did you have to do these things? Dewitt is not unreasonable by nature. It was your actions that

provoked him. I told you to behave, I told you to go abroad, and you didn’t listen. Who do you think is to blame for what happened?”

“Are you even my brother? Look at the state I’m in! You’re defending him instead of me. He took off my arm. If he knew how to perform surgery, why would he do this?”

“He operated on you for Sylvia’s sake and yours. I want to know the truth about what led to this.”

When Cyril and Sylvia were about to get married, Sylvia unexpectedly said she no longer wanted a wedding. At the time, Cyril thought Sylvia was blaming him for changing their plans so suddenly. Returning to their marital home recently, he found fragments of a wedding dress–a dress Sylvia had designed and made herself, only for it to be destroyed by Bonnie. That was the real reason Sylvia called off the wedding–a truth that Cyril had been oblivious to until now.

Realizing that her brother had discovered the truth, Bonnie went pale and began to cry.

“Cyril, what are you implying? yo

want to marry you!”

think this has something to do with me? But she was the one who didn’t

With her excuse hanging in the air, Cyril slapped Bonnie across the face.

“Didn’t I always say, when I married her, that I’d never even consider a divorce? But what have you all done to her over the years? You think I’m unaware? Bonnie, no matter the state of your arm, you’re out.

Don’t ever come back.”

Cyril was done caring about the troubles Bonnie might have faced abroad. She had made her own choices, and now, she had to face the consequences alone.

Growing up, Cyril was raised by his maternal grandparents, while Bonnie was raised with Michelle, resulting in very different upbringings and personalities. Their sibling bond was tenuous at best, and Cyril felt little affection; even if Bonnie met her end abroad, he suspected he would feel hardly any reaction at

all.
