Substitute Wife, Genius CEO novel Chapter 282

From that moment on, he had sworn an oath: if he ever got his sister back, he would protect her with his life. He would never let her suffer an ounce of harm again.

But he never expected that even after his sister was found, Leila would spiral into depression over the loss, eventually turning into her current unstable state after all treatments failed.

She wasn't just mentally unstable; she had violent tendencies. She had even mutilated her own face during one of her episodes.

He felt powerless, so he worked hard to earn money for the best sanitarium and the finest medicine, hoping that one day Leila would recover and be discharged.

Miles felt a deep wave of guilt and sorrow. "Leila, Lily is right here. Can't you recognize her? She is your biological daughter."

The crazed woman shrieked wildly, her eyes bulging with neurotic fury. "No! She isn't! She isn't my daughter! My Lily was killed by that animal, Bennett! Bennett, you murdered your own flesh and blood. I curse you to rot in hell! I hope you burn for all eternity!"

"Leila, take a good look at Lily. She looks exactly like you. How could she not be your daughter? Besides, we did several DNA tests back then, and the results were all the same. She is Bennett's daughter. She is Lily! She's my sister, and she really came back to us."

"Leila," Lydia interrupted, afraid the woman would spill more secrets and arouse Miles's suspicion. She feigned an expression of pure exhaustion. "You're sick. You're very sick, and you can't even recognize your own flesh and blood. Do you know you almost killed your own daughter just now? You need to rest."

Turning to the hotel security, she commanded, "Knock her out quickly, before she has another episode and hurts the other guests."

"Lydia, you shameless bitch! You slept with my husband and killed my Lily. I won't let you off, even in death! I want you to burn!"

The crazed woman fought back relentlessly. Driven by sheer madness, her adrenaline gave her so much strength that the two security guards could barely hold her down.

"I'll kill you! I'll kill you all! You'll burn in hell—"

Her piercing screams sounded like they came straight from the depths of hell, terrifying and shrill, before suddenly cutting off. The guards had knocked her unconscious.

The police arrived shortly after. The deranged woman was Leila, Lydia's twin sister.

She suffered from severe mental illness and had been living in a psychiatric ward. A few days ago, a fire had broken out at the facility, and she had managed to escape in the chaos.

Because of this, she couldn't be held legally responsible for stabbing Silas.

Silas required over two dozen stitches in his back.

Riddled with guilt, Summer stayed by his side in the hospital room to care for him.

Silas propped himself up on his arms to get out of bed. The movement pulled at his back wound, turning his face pale as fresh blood seeped through the bandages.

Summer gently pressed him back down, her tone strict yet anxious. "Don't move, your wound is bleeding. Tell me what you need, and I'll help you."

Help him?
