Chapter 314
Kenny’s face turned ashen while Peter tightly pressed his lips together.
Sadie’s accident dealt a devastating blow to the Williams family, worsening their
already dire situation.
Skylar’s gaze was cold. In her past life, the
come back from the brink of death.
Williamses hadn’t cared at all when she’d
They’d even joked by her hospital bed, with Sadie smugly thinking she was lucky. Yet now, they all appeared shocked and worried.
Sadie might have lost her legs, but at least she wasn’t paralyzed from the waist
down. Indeed, she was fortunate.
The family stood there in stunned silence.
After a while, a doctor reminded them to go home and rest, assuring them the hospital would call with updates and arrange shifts for care. Only then did they snap
out of their daze.
“How could this be?” Jeffrey murmured.
Jeffrey was baffled. What had the Wiliams family done to deserve this? Why were they constantly plagued by misfortunes?
Skylar watched their panic with detachment. This should have happened too in her previous life, but she had been too foolish then.
“Now that the surgery is over, I’ll be leaving,” Skylar said after glancing at the time. It
was already 11:00 pm. Her flight was at 10:00 am, so she needed to be at the airport
by 8:00 am tomorrow.
Skylar had no time to watch their melodrama.
“Wait! Sadie is in this condition now, and you’re still leaving?” Jeffrey called out incredulously at her coldness.
Kenny frowned, noting the lack of concern on Skylar’s face. “You weren’t like this before,” he said solemnly.
“You’ll get what’s coming to you!” Samuel was fuming.
They were all heartbroken, while Skylar seemed completely indifferent to Sadie’s plight.
Skylar laughed at their shameless accusations. “The doctor told us to leave. If you want to stay, that’s your choice. I have no obligation to take care of Mrs. Williams.
“If you guys are so devoted to your wife or dutiful to your mom, go and figure out how to care for a bedridden patient. Don’t try to guilt–trip me now. Where was this concern before?”
Skylar knew their selfish nature all too well. They might care for Sadie for a few days, but soon enough, they’d see her as a burden.
“You! That’s your mother! Can you really walk away without any guilt? You have to
move back home now and take care of Sadie..
“We’re all busy, and Maisy’s health isn’t good enough for such tasks. You’re the only one with time,” Jeffrey commanded Skylar without a second thought.
Skylar was stunned by Jeffrey’s audacity and asked, “Are you insane?”
Who gave him such brazen entitlement?

Is the author going to finally portray Skylark as a brave woman who can argue and communicate like a normal person in this real world? Hoping so.......
I don't like this story portraying Skylark's personality as too weak, too naive, Can't even defend herself Like accepting every humiliation from Vera's schemes and injustice without saying anything or doing anything. I wonder who is the protagonist in this novel, Vera or Skylark....
