Chad's injuries were merely considered as scratches, but Irma's injuries were extremely severe.
He was left speechless and could not find any excuses anymore. The only thing he could do now was wait for Irma's family to sue him.
In the end, Irma was able to be saved. After fighting for her life, it was obvious that she looked thinner than before.
The worst thing of all, this incident had given her trauma. It made her unable to believe in love and to look forward to marriage ever again.
Lilly came over to visit Irma. She even brought a bouquet of flowers along as a gift.
"Don't worry, Irma. Everything will be absolutely okay," Lily sighed.
Irma found out that Lily and Blake were the ones who brought her family along. They explained that Chad was acting weird when they were having breakfast. Because they were worried about her, both Lilly and Blake decided to be "nosy" in the end.
Words could not express how grateful Irma was toward them. Although weak, she still tried to tell them how she felt. "Thank you so much for saving me... I think I won't be looking for a boyfriend anymore in the future."
Irma's mother was wiping her tears away. She replied, "Sure, dear. You don't have to get married. Your father and I will take care of you forever."
At that moment, a middle-aged lady was rushing into the hospital.
She was asking around to know where the surgical department was and was barging her way inside, filled with anger.
Meanwhile, on top of her head, a malignant spirit was floating, letting out a menacing aura.
When the lady reached her destination, she angrily kicked open the door to Irma's ward and stomped toward her.
"You wretched woman! You ruined my son's life!"
The middle-aged woman was none other than Chad's mother, Mrs. Weatherby.
She was screaming and trying to hit Irma. Her family could not just sit back and watch. Before Mrs. Weatherby could get near, Irma's younger brother quickly kicked her away from them.
Mrs. Weatherby immediately stayed on the floor and wailed. "Everyone! Help me! Every person in this family are horrible people! They tried to make my son pay 400 thousand dollars so he could marry their daughter. When we couldn't pay them, they came and beat up my son! Now their daughter even acted like she was injured. They tried to sue my son because they said he beat their daughter. They're trying to send my son to prison!"
Mrs. Weatherby was flailing on the ground and causing a scene.
On the other hand, Lilly and Blake just stood there staring at her.
Lilly said, "I was wondering how someone could act so heinously. Turns out they're possessed by a spirit!"
"Birds a feather flock together," Blake coldly replied.
Pablo was stunned. "So that's the case?"
"KPI just came to us without even having to find them?" Pablo thought to himself.
Although Lily did not need any more KPI, nobody would complain when they came by themselves.
She began to feel embarrassed.
In the end, she turned around and asked, "Master, can I take care of her? I want to stick a truth charm on her."
"Do it." Pablo nodded.
So Lily looked for the perfect timing and a charm was made from thin air!
She threw out four truth charms aimed toward Mrs. Weatherby.
Pablo went silent. "Can you not do this, Lilly? I'll look useless when I'm around you," he thought to himself.
On the other hand, after finding out what had really happened, the police officer was outraged. "The evidence was clear that your son was the one that attacked Irma Holland. She had internal bleeding, that was the reason why she is in the hospital, not because she had a miscarriage. Here are the reports. Please do not cause any more scenes!"
Mrs. Weatherby kept on wailing and making a scene. She wanted to insist that her son had never hurt anyone.
However, before she could do that, she exclaimed, "That's absolutely right. So what if my son beat her up? My son is a man. Irma is almost married to my son, so what's wrong with a husband beating his own wife? This shouldn't warrant him being sued. Irma has a high salary, and she comes from a rich family. What else could the reason be for them to ask such a high dowry if not for selling Irma to us? My son has a PhD and is a big and strong man. You have no idea how many young women wanted to marry him. Irma only goes to an unknown university. She is basically leeching off of him! How dare she demand such a high dowry!"
The crowd was in disbelief.
Mrs. Weatherby slowly realized the things that were coming out from her mouth. "Why am I telling people the truth?" she thought.
"No... That's not..." She tried to deny, but the moment she tried to lie, she immediately slapped herself on the face.
