Chapter 957

Tears streamed down Teresa’s face as she finally revealed the truth. “My brother has internal

trauma…

“Internal trauma?” Jonathan echoed, his voice full of worry.

“Yeah. Teresa choked out, her whole body shaking. “Yalena told me herself. She got a bunch of men to do horrible things to Lucas. They even used all kinds of cruel tools on him. She ruined him!”

Jonathan froze, completely at a loss for words. If Yalena really had a bunch of men do that to Teresa’s brother, there was no way two injury assessments missed something so serious.

Maybe Lucas was just too ashamed to say anything about it himself, or there might be more to it.

“I’m not letting Yalena off the hook. I need to get back to Nareigh right now,” Teresa said, already trying to get out of bed.

“Just calm down,” Jonathan said, his heart twisting as he held her back. “You can’t leave the hospital like this. Please, just rest. I’ll make sure that woman ends up behind bars.”

“No, I want to see her behind bars with my own eyes. And I’m going to make every single person who messed with me pay for it, one by one,” Teresa said, her voice cold and determined.

She brushed off Jonathan’s attempts to stop her and stubbornly swung her legs off the bed, determined to get up. But she was just too weak. She barely took a few steps before her legs gave out and she crumpled to the floor.

Jonathan rushed over and swept her up in his arms. Teresa was a mess, thrashing desperately in his hold. “Let me go, Jonathan. I have to get back to Nareigh. I need to protect my family!”

“Alright, we’ll go back, but not right now. You need to get your strength back first,” Jonathan said, trying to calm her down. He gently laid Teresa back on the bed and clasped her hand tightly in his.

“If you need to let it out, just hit me. I promise I’ll find out exactly what happened to your brother,” he said, his voice steady and reassuring.

Teresa didn’t want to hit Jonathan. She just wanted to go home.

Jonathan gently kept her in place with one hand while calling Benny with the other. He told Benny that Teresa had woken up, but she said Lucas had internal injuries.

Benny was no fool. He immediately understood what Jonathan was getting at. “I’m heading over to check on him right now. If anyone dares to stop me, I’ll get in there even if I have to pull every string I’ve got!”

Jonathan put the call on speaker and handed the phone to Teresa. “You heard him, right? Benny and I have known each other for years. You can trust him. If anything happens, he’ll let us know

right away.”

Teresa didn’t say a word. She just couldn’t pull herself together.

Benny heard her crying and jumped in, “Teresa, it’s me. Listen, if there’s something up with your brother, I’ll be straight with you. I won’t let him get humiliated or anything. You just focus on taking care of yourself.

“And don’t go losing your cool like Jonathan did–he nearly snapped and almost killed someone.”
