Chapter 991

It was late at night. Betty carried a food container and stood outside the door. She knocked gently.

“You haven’t eaten anything all day. You can’t keep going like this. I brought some food for you. They’re

all your favorites. Open the door, Mom.”

However, there was no response from inside the room.

Betty started to feel uneasy, so she turned the doorknob. To her surprise, the door was not locked.

She felt a surge of anger.

The servants of the Beckett family were opportunistic and snobbish.

News of Javier wanting to divorce Sophia had spread throughout the Beckett family. Seeing Sohpia

lose power, they started to neglect her.

They said they delivered her food, but she didn’t open the door.

However, the door was not even locked. They were just lying down on the job.

Betty entered cautiously. The room was pitch dark, making her shiver involuntarily.

Suddenly, moans of pain echoed from the bedroom.

Betty’s anxiety heightened, and she ran toward the bedroom door.

Upon opening the door, she dropped the food container in shock, nearly shouting.

Sophia looked like a scorched caterpillar, disheveled, with a deathly pale face that resembled a

skeleton.

“It hurts… It hurts so much… I’m in so much pain!” Sophia cried out in agony, trembling all over.

Betty’s scalp was tingling. She pressed her back against the door panel. “Mom … W-What’s wrong with

you?”

Even though that was her mother, Betty became so frightened, as if

she had encountered a ghost.

“Betty… I’m dying… I’m dying.”

Sophia tumbled off the bed, crawling toward Betty and clutching Betty’s skirt. “No one can help me

now… Only you… Only you can help me.”

“W-What should I do?” Betty asked, trembling.

Betty’s eyes widened, and fear gripped her. “What’s going on, Mom?”

“Go find Dr. McAlister. Ask him to bring the medicine to me. I can inject it myself.”

At the mention of the medicine, a glint of determination flashed in Sophia’s dim eyes. She widened her

bloodshot eyes. “As long as I have that medicine… everything will be fine. Without it… I’d rather die!

“Mom! You’re like a drug addict now! You can’t inject that stuff anymore. That Dr. McAlister is harming

you!”

Betty was both anxious and angry, almost on the verge of tears. Event if she were foolish, she knew

what her mother’s so-called “medicine”

was.

If Sophia’s current state were seen and word got out, that would be the end of everything.

“I asked you to go… Just go!”

Sophia fell into hysterical madness, tearing Betty’s dress apart. “If I’m finished… you’re finished too! Do

you think Javier will protect you? Will he continue to dote on you?

“He hates me… and he will hate you too! Your sister has Landon protecting her now. What do you

have? You only have me!”

Betty’s face turned pale, shocked to the core.

With no other choice, Betty followed the address Sophia provided, sneaking out of Seaview Manor in

the dead of night.

She sped recklessly, partly to save time and to vent her inner frustration.

As she recalled Sophia’s words about her sister having Landon to protect her while she had nothing,

her eyes turned red from

resentment. She let out a roar and honked the horn furiously to release her anger.

Why did that idiot have such a good fate? Why?
