Chapter 361 Living In Humiliation? No Thank You Polly fiew from tree to tree. No matter how quickly Bellflower could move, it was still a four-legged creature! Bellflower’s whiskers were twitching with irritation.
Meow’ | rather die than live on in humiliation! Polly continued to dodge cach lunge and sent Bellflower crashing into the bushes.
“Meow! TT The parrot returned to the second floor once it got tired of playing and made sure to fasten the window latches.
Polly admired the sight of the cat scratching frantically at the glass while happily enjoying her food.
The cat had caught her off guard the last time. It was a shame that would stick with the bird for the rest of her life.
She finally got her revenge! Lilly had just arrived at the hospital alongside Bettany when an ambulance whizzed by, A child was wheeled out accompanied by a woman crying Johnny! My Johnny!” Lilly turned to look.
A closer look made her wonder why the crying woman seemed so familiar. It then occurred to her that she had met her yesterday...
“That's Ruby’s cousin, Pablo helpfully supplied.
Lilly was shocked. She had only seen signs of Huxley having one foot in the grave and failed to notice the boy who was also present.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe would've offered up a warning if she did but it was now too late.
“Let's go,” Pablo said.
His expression was placid. The sight of life and death was par for the course. He'd seen a lot but could not interfere with others’ fates. It hardened him.
Lilly silently trailed after Bettany but kept turning back to steal glances.
If we can’t stop it even if we see it, then why do we catch ghosts, Master?” She asked.
Pablo looked at her with downcast eyes and said warmly. “You can stop it but do you know what butterfly effects are? “By changing one’s fate, you are also affecting the destinies of a million others connected to them.” Let's say Mike grew up to be a criminal. He murders and commits arson. Ten people will die because of 1/4 him. Mike, however, should've died in an accident as a child. Those ten people would've survived if fate ran its course.” “But by saving him today, he would grow up to become a murderer with the blood of ten people on his hands.” “It's fate.” It wasn't as if he were indifferent to it. There was just no way for him to guarantee that his decision to interfere would be right or wrong.
Lilly pursed her lips. “What if Mike was a hero?” What if Mike grew up to be someone who saved ten people? Wouldn't she be condemning ten people to their graves if she chose not to save him? Pablo nodded. “Indeed but the reason boils down to how we cannot predict where Mike would turn out to be a good or bad person. We don’t know if he’s a hero or a murderer.” “It's exactly because we don’t know that we don’t intervene. We can’t recklessly interfere with someone's fate just because we're more powerful than the average person.” Lilly couldn't fully understand him.
There were some truths she couldn't grasp as a child. Perhaps she'd understand with experience.
Bettany was used to Lilly talking to herself and chose not to interrupt. It was Zachary who spoke up. “You should just call the cat Fortune Cat, Lilly.” You like money. The more the merrier.
Lilly was taken aback. “...” “I think you should get hospitalized, Zac!” Why did Zachary seem so much more dimwitted after she stopped being vigilant against the Crawfords? She shook her head.
Bettany handled the hospitalization procedures in an orderly manner.
Ruby’s cousin, meanwhile, was still crying before the intensive care unit.
“Johnny. My darling Johnny...” By her side were her relatives. Even Joel was there.
“What happened?” Joel, who had just sobered up, was sell confused. “Johnny was fine yesterday. Did he roll out of the bed because you didn’t pay attention to him last night?” Ruby’s cousin slapped him. “Shut up!” Joel was annoyed for having been slapped but the glares their relatives were sending his way made him comply.
It had nothing to do with him anyway. He huddled in a corner to play on his phone and treated it as if it 2/4 Chapter 361 Living In Humiliation? No Thank You were a normal hospital visit.
The doors to the ICU opened and the doctor stepped outside with a report.
#25 Bonus “You apprised my colleagues about the situation on your way here, yes? There’s something very important. that | need to know.
The child drank alcohol yesterday? The woman was shocked to which another answered, Just a small mouthful...” “We excluded trauma and ruled out food poisoning. The biggest possibility is now alcohol poisoning or alcohol allergy. You do know children aren't supposed to drink?” The doctor said seriously.
That was when she remembered what happened yesterday and muttered, “Johnny fell asleep after drinking that mouthful of wine. He didn’t wake up even after | brought him home. He did shift around. | didn’t think too much of it because | assumed he had tied himself out from playing. He didn’t wake up in the morning and his complexion had changed for the worst...” To think...
She felt her blood turn cold. How was she going to find the money to fund her son's stay in the hospital? The doctor continued to speak and said they might've sought help too late. There was no guarantee that the child would survive.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEven if he miraculously recovered, it was likely he would suffer brain damage. They were asked to prepare themselves for the worst.
Ruby’s cousin went insane. The moment the ICU doors shut behind the doctor, she lunged at Joel and forcefully slapped him! “You! It's always you! Why did you feed my son alcohol! Give him back!” Joel had been focused on TikTok shorts of women dancing and was barely paying attention to what the doctor was saying. He was slapped before he could even process what had happened.
“Hey! What are you doing?! Stop!” He tried to stop her but why would she when everything was coming apart at the seams? She was screeching and hitting him! It was the relatives’ discussion that made him realize that Johnny was admitted to the hospital because of the alcohol.
The revelation shocked him. It was just one mouthful of wine. How was that possible? The final diagnosis hadn't even been announced! “Are you crazy?! The doctor only suspects that to be the cause. It has nothing to do with me!” He exclaimed and tried to leave, only for a trash can to hit him in the head.
Ruby’s eyes were bloodshot. “Joel Jenkins! You put my father back in the hospital again. | told you over and over to stop trying to make him drink. Look what you've done. Do you want to send him to his grave before you're satisfied?!” It turned out that after Johnny was whisked away by emergency services, Huxley also collapsed.
He felt a dull pain in his abdomen after drinking yesterday but let it be because he didn't think it was a big deal. He collapsed the next morning. It was only after was wheeled into the ER that they realized he 3/4 was hemorrhaging from his surgical site.
He was now being resuscitated.
Ruby was beyond anxious and livid. She exploded after learning her cousin's son was also in the ICU because of alcohol consumption.
There were no weapons at the hospital but there were multiple trash cans in the corridor.
She grabbed it and hammered it against his head with no mercy. Fruit peels, cigarette butts, and tissues all came tumbling down on Joel.
Her cousin meanwhile was entranced by the sight of a brick that held the security exit open...
