Just then, Lucas came in with a change of clothes.
He was reluctant, but he had followed his sister's instructions. He hadn't expected to walk in on Hanley guilt-tripping Natalie.
Lucas immediately rushed in. "Hanley, are you insane? Have you forgotten how your grandmother treated Natalie?"
"Whatever mistakes my grandmother made, she's a patient now and needs treatment."
Lucas laughed, his voice growing louder. "If she needs treatment, she should see a doctor. Natalie isn't the only doctor in the world. Don't you always act so high and mighty with your money? Can't you even afford to hire a doctor? The Lockwood family can even sponsor you, as long as you stop bothering Natalie!"
Lucas's words were a slap in the face to Hanley.
At preschool, Hanley had always been the one whose family, the Cross family, was the wealthiest. He was used to being arrogant.
Now, the Lockwood family was clearly more powerful than his own, which was a bitter pill to swallow.
"This is our family's business. It's none of your concern."
Hanley then turned back to Natalie. "Mommy, I know you can save Grandma. I'm begging you, please save her. She's in so much pain right now."
Hanley pleaded desperately, but Natalie's response was calm. "I can't save her. She will never get better."
"I told you, I have no way to cure her. She will be paralyzed for the rest of her life!"
Hanley was deeply disappointed by Natalie's words.
He looked at her, his eyes filled with disgust.
"Mommy, I never thought you could be so cruel, to just stand by and watch someone suffer. Even when I begged you, even when I came all the way to the Lockwood family's house to plead with you, you still won't save my grandmother. Fine! I won't ask you anymore. I'm leaving right now."
With that, Hanley turned to leave, not caring that he was soaking wet. He even snatched the clothes from Lucas's hands and threw them on the floor.
