Chapter 148

Three hours later, the surgery finally ended

The doctor walked up to Whitney with an apologetic look and said, “We got the patiene here just in time, but the bexiting was pretty severe. That’s probably tied to his usual dies and lifestyle, and then a sudden surge of emotion or is oft

“Brain surgery is always risky, but we managed to pull it off. Still, because of the beavy blood loss, his recovery may be tough. Some patients end up with mobility issues, trouble speaking, or ever, memory or thinking problems any of could happen.”

“We’ll need to wait 48 hours and see how he does before we figure out the next step”

Whitney managed a faint smile and said, “Thank you, doctor.”

“You explained the risks to me beforehand, so there’s no need to apologize.”

The doctor was a bit taken aback. He hadn’t expected the patient’s family to be so this calm and reasonable

For the next few days, Samuel would be under observation in the ICU.

Whitney asked the butler to stay at the hospital, while Klein took her home, holding her close.

With Samuel down, the shareholders flooded Whitney with calls, desperate for her to do something.

“Whitney, you’re the biggest shareholder now. You have to figure something out,” one of them pleaded.

Whitney had no intention of stepping in, using his illness as the perfect excuse. “Just announce the bankruptcy she said coldly.

“There is nothing I can do. My dad’s still in the ICU. I think bankruptcy is our only option.”

AetherTech officially entered bankruptcy proceedings, but Whitney kept working at the law firm, complete unded by

all.

When the hospital called to say Samuel had woken up, Whitney took some time off and went to see him

This time, she went without Klein.

Just like the doctor said, Samuel struggled to choke out a few sounds, barely managing to call her name

Whitney said with a mocking smile, “The doctor said you’re probably never going to get better if you may vie you’ll improve a little, but a full recovery? That’s pretty much impossible”

“The company’s already in bankruptcy. Everything except Moore Manor is being used to pay out the dels Chose han guarantees you signed? They’ll come straight out of your own pocket.”

“Well, Dad, there’s nothing left for you now.”

Samuel’s eyes were widened and lifeless, tears streaming down his face

Even sick in bed, the old fox tried to grab Whitney’s hand, but she lightly pulled away Oh You think you still have an

“Sorry, but other than the basic monthly support I’m supposed to give you you won’t get a penny more from me

“You want your old life back? That’s never happening. Is this the life you wanted?

#ugrateful girl Samuel forced out, his voice rough and broken as he tried to curse ben

Even though his words were garbled, it was obvious he was very mad at her

Whitney scoffed, her tone icy Ungrateful? Really?”

“But back then, when you let Laura mess with my morn and just turned a blind eye did you embarksonde this?”

“You won’t die right away. Instead, you’ll slowly waste away, watching yourself go from strong in whak handle the basics, eating, shitting, all of it. You’ll need someone for every indle thing

“You’ll live without a shred of dignity, wishing you were dead every single day. But Fill make sure there take care of you, so you keep living, no matter how much you want to give up. Consider this my liest ar Does this make you happy?”

Samuel’s face contorted with tears and sobs.

In just a few days, his forehead was covered in wrinkles that hadn’t been there before.

Whitney was surprised to see Klein waiting for her outside the ward.

“You came,” she said.

‘Seriously, does he have me bugged or something? He always pops up right when I need him. Whitney thought

Whitney parted her lips, not sure how much Klein had overheard./

She wanted to ask if he thought she was being too ruthless.

She wasn’t the kind to play the part of a dutiful daughter just because it was expected.

Every time Samuel sided with Laura and Tina, he became less of a father in her heart.

Eventually, every last drop of the fatherly love she’d had as a child was used up.

When her grandma passed away, Samuel was completely indifferent.

When Whitney finally learned the truth about her mom’s death, her heart troze over, and all that way low was banne

She wasn’t some goody two-shoes. If Klein ever saw the darkness in her bones, would he crad up having be!

But Klein didn’t say anything. He just smiled softly at her, his eyes gentle. “Hey, do you want low co

Whitney nodded and said, “Yeah.”

Klein showing up at the movie theater in a full-on suit was just totally out of playe

Especially with his arms loaded up with soda and popcorn

Whitney reached out to help, but Klein just shook his head and gruned Hey, this is boyfriend duty for sand

Whitney blushed

Every now and then, curious eyes would sneak glances their way

Whitney glanced at her watch. Ten minutes left before the movie She got up and cod Tower

Klein raised his eyebrows. This was one trip he really had to sit out.

‘Go ahead,” he said.

As soon as she walked off, a few girls nearby couldn’t help inching over

Klein gave them a warning look. “Whoa, hold up. I’m a married man, okay? My wifes super raions 15 she’ll totally freak out and I’ll never hear the end of it.”

The girls froze.

‘Sorry, we thought you were some celebrity. We just wanted an autograph, one of them mimbied

With that, the girls bolted.

He was seriously handsome, so they thought he might be a celebrity. They figured they d take a shot and see something for them.

If he really was famous, they’d totally score big.

But in the end, it was just a hilarious mix-up.
