CEO's Dumb Bride novel Chapter 67

Chapter 67 Mrs. Landau's Uneasiness

Mrs. Landau and Ruby were frantically trying to soothe the crying child, but nothing seemed to work.

Ruby asked, "What's going on? Why is he suddenly crying so hard?"

"It must be because of that mute woman. Nothing good ever happens when she's around!" Mrs. Landau said irritably.

Lilian was dragged into a small room, which was fully equipped. It had been prepared for Ruby, and also for Lilian.

History repeated itself in this room.

Lilian was pinned to the operating table, and a masked doctor approached her with a syringe. Lilian stared wide-eyed at the needle, which gleamed in the light.

She struggled desperately, but the doctor pressed her hand onto the table and said, "If the needle bends, you'll be the one to suffer."

Lilian didn't listen, trying to break free from the servants restraining her.

She was like a cornered beast, making her last stand.

The doctor watched as Lilian's forehead veins bulged, her mouth open, trying to scream but unable to make a sound. Her face turned red from the effort, and her whole body trembled.

Her dark pupils were fixed on the doctor, filled with pleading.

The doctor furrowed his brow, suddenly feeling a pang of guilt.

Hannah reminded him, "Doctor, Mrs. Landau is still waiting!"

The doctor turned away, not looking at Lilian's face. He held the syringe, lifted her clothes, and inserted the needle into her spine.

The familiar, icy sting felt as if it pierced not her spine but her heart. It penetrated her spine.

Finally, she gave in to despair. All her struggles and hopes vanished as the anesthesia spread through her body.

No one would care if a mute's heart broke or she felt the pain.

If she couldn't cry out, how could anyone know her suffering?

Lilian's hand, gripping the edge of the bed, suddenly went limp and fell.

She became quiet, staring blankly at the ceiling as tears slid down her cheeks and into her hair.

Even the moment before she lost consciousness, her lips kept moving.
