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.
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!”
