Chapter 343
‘Asking Frank for help?‘
I wasn’t sure if it was my pessimism, but given his obsession with Lily, I would rather trust Madam Shaw just a little more.
Even though he always thought that Lily wasn’t the right person they were looking for, he wouldn’t just stand by and watch her die, even if there was only a one in a thousand chance. He was not the type to be
indecisive.
Sacrificing me was actually predictable.
Bang-
To my surprise, there was no argument from outside, just a loud crash as the door was kicked open.
Frank exuded a cold aura.
To my astonishment, he strode in, quickly untied the ropes binding me, and tore the tape off my mouth with trembling hands. “Charlotte, how could you be so stupid again!”
“…”
“Enough, don’t talk. You look awful.”
Once he confirmed that I hadn’t been drawn of blood yet, his expression softened slightly, though he still looked displeased. “I’ll take you to see a doctor.”
“Frank!”
Bethany, momentarily startled by his presence, quickly recovered and gritted her teeth. “No matter what you say today, you’re not taking her away!”
He ignored her.
He bent down, intending to pick me up and leave.
“Frank!”
Mrs. Shaw ordered the bodyguards to block the door. “This time, I can’t let you have your way.”
Frank’s eyes were clouded with anger. He held my scratching hands, gently rubbing the rashes to alleviate my discomfort.
His usually indifferent face was cold and mocking as he said, “Have you forgotten? This is the Smith family’s hospital. Get your people out of my way.”
“You can leave, but Charlotte can’t,” Mrs. Shaw insisted.
“Then let your people beat me to death. If they can’t, I’m taking her with me.”
Frank’s eyes were filled with anger as he sneered. “If you’re going to act, do it quickly, Don’t delay me taking her to see a doctor.”
The Shaw family dared not act.

Chapter 343
Having already offended the RF Group, if they clashed with the Smith family as well, the Shaw family might soon disappear from Jeswood.
Madam Shaw, both anxious and furious, hesitated for a moment before speaking. “Let Frank and Charlotte go!”
“Grandma!”
Seeing this, Bethany rushed to the door. “If you dislike me, fine, but do you not care about your own granddaughter?!”
Madam Shaw, exhausted from worrying about Lily’s blood source, was visibly tired. “Can’t you see Charlotte’s condition? If she gets blood drawn now, she might not survive.”
Bethany sneered. “She’s just an outsider. How can her life compare to my sister’s?”
“I know my granddaughter.”
Madam Shaw, leaning on a servant for support, managed to stand. “She’s always been kind–hearted. If her life is taken from someone else, she will live with guilt and suffering for the rest of her life.”
“Mom, you’re talking about when she was a child!”
