"Don't you dare!" Elaine's eyes were cold as she stared at Yuliana.

Yuliana had nothing left to lose. She was willing to do anything as long as she didn't need to face Shane.

She snorted and scoffed hysterically, "Try me! If I'm going down, I'm taking you with me!"

"You'd better think twice about what you've done. You made me take Charlotte's place, then exchanged Sheryl's parental results. What you've done is enough to make Shane wish you were dead!" "Shut up!" Elaine could not control her anger any longer. She raised her hand and gave Yuliana a sharp slap. "I'm doing this all for you!"

"Haha, hahaha." Yuliana lowered her head and laughed sarcastically.

"For me? You did it for your own glory and wealth! You climbed on the bed of your best friend's father, then you caused her to get pregnant before getting married. Who do you think you are?" Yuliana slowly raised her voice, she ended up roaring directly to her face.

Her face hurt so much that she reached out to choke Elaine.

Elaine expected this, she quickly dodged by pushing her hand aside.

Yuliana lost her balance and fell to the ground. "Crash!"

Yuliana laid on her side while bright red blood gushed out of her head, dyeing the floor red.

"Yuliana —!" Elaine widened her eyes and shrieked.

The red light outside the operating room lit up. Elaine sat on the chair in the corridor and stretched out her hands.

They were covered in a dark shade of red. She couldn't stop shaking.

It was blood, her sister's blood. What had she done?

Elaine stared up blankly and closed her eyes.

After god-knows- how- long, the operation theatre light went out.

"Doctor!" Elaine rushed towards him as he came out. "How is my sister?"

"Sorry." The doctor's face was filled with regret. "I'm afraid your sister will remain unconscious for the time being."

In other words, she was in a coma.

Elaine was entranced for a moment, but she quickly calmed herself down.

At first, she was saddened by the news.

When she realised what that meant for her, her mouth couldn't help but curl into a malicious grin.

It's better this way. Now, no one would tell Shane of the things she did.

Besides... She glanced at Yuliana, who laid on the bed with a thick bandage on her, she was as pale as a sheet. Since the culprit had become bedridden, Shane wouldn't be able to pursue this matter any further, would he?

Elaine stood up and looked at her wrinkled, blood-stained clothes. She nodded her head with satisfaction.

It was good, she looked pathetic enough. It was time for her to put on a show.

Elaine pulled down the corners of her mouth and rubbed her eyes forcefully to make herself look more pitiful and weak. Everything was ready. She pushed the door open and went upstairs to the VIP ward.

As far as she knew, Charlotte was also in this hospital.

After Shane left, Charlotte woke up not long after. The moment she was awake, she saw the nurse busy working by her side.

She coughed softly as she wanted to speak but there was a dry scratchy feeling in her throat. She also felt pain all over her body. Charlotte couldn't help but groan in pain.

The nurse heard her voice. "Are you awake?"

Charlotte nodded, and the nurse thoughtfully poured a glass of water for her.

After drinking the water, Charlotte felt much better. Although her body still hurt, at least she could speak normally.

"Thank you very much." She thanked her politely.

The nurse pursed her lips and smiled sweetly. "You're welcome, it's my job. Lie down for a while more if you're still feeling unwell."

"Okay," Charlotte replied, but she didn't feel like sleeping anymore.

"Your husband said he had some matter to attend to so he asked your friend to come over. She should be here soon." The nurse read her mind and chatted with her as she worked. "My husband?" Charlotte's mind went blank for a moment.

"Yeah, Miss Charlotte. Your husband is not only really handsome, he also treats you so well. He stayed with you for the whole night."

Was it Shane?

Charlotte was overwhelmed with feelings, She was both happy and touched.

Before she could figure out how she felt, the door of the ward was pushed open.

"Mommy!" A bright voice exclaimed.

Charlotte's eyes lit up, "Sheryl!"

"Mommy, I missed you so much!" Sheryl was about to throw herself at Charlotte excitedly when she saw her.

Anne pulled her from behind. "Sheryl, no, Mommy is injured!"

Sheryl stopped when she heard Anne's words. She looked at Charlotte with large eyes and asked, "Mommy are you hurt? Is it painful?"

Charlotte felt her pain melt away at the sight of Sheryl's adorable manner. She reached out her hand to stroke her hair. "Good girl, mommy doesn't feel pain at all." She smiled.

Sheryl carefully held Charlotte's hand, then she puffed out her cheeks and gently blew on her wound a few times.

"It's okay, mommy. You will be fine after I blow on it. Puff... Pain, go away!"

This was how Charlotte used to coax her when she was injured. Now, her own daughter was using the same method to relieve her pain. Charlotte felt her heart soften and she found it incredible at the same time.

She couldn't help but pull Sheryl into her arms. She kissed her head and said softly, "Well, mommy doesn't hurt anymore. Sheryl is the best."

Sheryl nestled in her arms happily. She rubbed against Charlotte's face and smiled sweetly.

Anne watched the heartwarming scene with a smile on her face. But there was a trace of agony as her heart ached for Charlotte.

The mother and daughter hugged for a while. Anne interrupted them with a smile. "Alright, Lottie, have some food first. You must be hungry at this hour."

Only then did Charlotte realize she was feeling famished. Sheryl gently broke free from her embrace and said in a childish tone, "That's right. Mommy needs to eat more. You'll recover soon!"

"Okay, whatever you say." Charlotte would be in a good mood as long as Sheryl was by her side.

But at that moment, the door of the ward was pushed open again.

Charlotte frowned when she looked up to see Elaine in a mess. Anne also quickly stood up and hid Sheryl in her arms as if she was some disease.

"Why are you here?"

Elaine burst into tears as soon as she spoke. "Lottie, it's all Yuliana's fault. She wronged you. But, she already admitted her mistakes and now had been punished. Please forgive her for your father's sake!" Charlotte's head was filled with confusion. Before she could answer, she heard a deep male voice at the door of the ward. "No!"
