Chapter 9

ผู้เขียน: Ethereal Selene
Mindy flipped the report open.

[Excluded as the biological mother of the child.]

“Impossible… Impossible…”

Mindy knelt on the floor, the veins on her hands popping.

“Henry, what’s going on? Didn’t you tell me that the baby survived?”

Henry’s face was ashen. He froze on the spot.

Yvette started crying out loud. “Uncle, I want my own mommy! I don’t want this fierce woman!”

I sat in my wheelchair, shocked by the revelation.

I didn’t expect things between the Holmes and me to end up this way

  • The Point of No Return   Chapter 9

    Mindy flipped the report open.[Excluded as the biological mother of the child.]“Impossible… Impossible…”Mindy knelt on the floor, the veins on her hands popping.“Henry, what’s going on? Didn’t you tell me that the baby survived?”Henry’s face was ashen. He froze on the spot.Yvette started crying out loud. “Uncle, I want my own mommy! I don’t want this fierce woman!”I sat in my wheelchair, shocked by the revelation.I didn’t expect things between the Holmes and me to end up this way because of a child that had no blood relations with the family whatsoever.Mindy lurched forward and throttled Henry, her eyes bloodshot.“You conman! You cheated me of my feelings and crippled my husband!”Mr. Holmes watched on coldly, only wagging his hand to cue his bodyguards to pull Mindy away just before she strangled Henry to death.“Take that man and child away.”Henry was taken away, his cries echoing down the hallway before finally disappearing.Mindy knelt on the floor, looking

    Mindy looked aghast. “Henry didn’t do it on purpose! You can’t do this in a moment of spite! If we got a divorce, what would happen to all the businesses under my name?”Henry looked up, remorse etched on his face. “Mr. Graham, I know you hate me. As long as you forgive Mindy and not ask for a divorce, I’ll leave with Yvette right away and never return…”I found the scene before me utterly absurd.The culprit was acting pitiful, while the victim was accused of being pushy and demanding. Meanwhile, Mindy was still trying to please everyone. “Since we can’t arrive at a consensus, we can see each other in court.”Mr. Holmes walked down the stairs with his cane. His face was dark with displeasure, his aura further bolstered by the butler and his entourage of bodyguards following behind him.The entire hall quietened down, leaving only Yvette’s fearful whimpering.“Dad, talk Sylvester out of this! He insists on a divorce and wants me to leave the marriage without a single cent…”Wh

    When I woke up again, I was already transferred from the ICU to an ordinary ward.Even without checking with the doctors, I knew what had happened, and what that numbness and inability to feel anything in my legs meant.Mindy sat by my bedside, her eyes bloodshot. When she saw my eyes open, she leaned in close, filled with worry.“Sylvester, you’re awake. Have some water…”I turned my head away. “I’m completely crippled now, aren’t I?”Mindy’s hands froze in midair, tears welling up in her eyes. She put the cup down and covered her face in pain and sorrow.“I’m sorry… Sylvester, I’m so sorry…”I turned back to look deeply at her. “Mindy, Henry pushed me down the stairs.”Mindy’s body stiffened. She looked up at me, uncertainty and struggle in her eyes.“Henry said…you two fought and you wanted to shake him off, but ended up losing your balance. He wanted to pull you back, but didn’t manage to. The back of his hand is filled with scratches… He’s so remorseful and keeps repeati

    Mindy and the rest re-entered the ward soon after Mr. Holmes left.Yvette suddenly sent the toy car she was playing with crashing onto my injured leg.A sharp pain shot up my legs, but I didn’t make a sound. I simply looked on coldly at the family before me.Mindy instinctively pulled Yvette behind her protectively. “She’s just a child and doesn’t know what she’s doing. Don’t be mad at her.”I smiled. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree indeed.Yvette suddenly had difficulties breathing, triggering another heart attack. Mindy and Henry hurriedly called for a doctor and arranged to hospitalize her.She went into the ICU that night.Mindy stayed vigil by her bedside.The next morning, while Mindy was called away by Yvette’s attending doctor, I wheeled myself out of the ward in my wheelchair.I had already made an appointment with an expert from a private hospital. I didn’t want the Holmes interfering in my own health matters.The corridor in the hospital was empty early in

    Mindy froze as cold sweat beaded her brows.She was hesitating. She couldn’t decide.“Mindy…”Henry suddenly appeared at the door of the ward. Yvette was with him, her brows furrowed tight and deep pain etched in the depths of her eyes.“Please don’t fight with Mr. Graham over me.” He let go of Yvette’s hand and said firmly, “Mr. Graham, I know you hate me. As long as you’re willing to go for the surgery and take care of yourself, I’ll jump off the building from here to show how sincere I am in my apology!”With that, he started running toward the window.“Henry!”Mindy was frightened out of her wits. She rushed over to Henry and hugged him tight without a second thought.“Are you crazy? We’re more than ten storeys high!”“Just let me die! I don’t want to make things difficult for you. All the more I don’t want to be the bad person who wrecks other people’s family!” Henry said through gritted teeth, looking resolute about not bringing anyone else down because of his wrongdoing

    Once upon a time, I could have had a child with Mindy. However, she had an abortion behind my back because of her career prospects.As such, I truly couldn’t sympathize with Henry.At the end of the day, he was still a homewrecker.“Sylvester… Yvette’s surgery is scheduled for next week,” Mindy said through gritted teeth, “but we need a huge sum of money for the surgery and post-surgery treatment…”I looked up at her. “So?”“We might have to put your research project on hold in order to carve out the money needed to treat Yvette.” Mindy avoided my gaze. “This is huge and a matter of life and death…”I had worked hard for three grueling months for that research project.My body was shaking with rage.“Mindy, do you know what suspending that project means? It means that those few months of effort and the investment of tens of thousands of dollars would be in vain!”“We can always earn the money back, but I can’t see my daughter die before me!” Mindy yelled.“Enough!”I felt fa
