The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 614

With Gregory adopting such a humble stance, Zoey finds it impossible to push the issue further. She has to admit to herself—her older brother is an absolute master of social grace. He knows exactly how to lower himself to make any further criticism seem unnecessarily bitter on her end.

Over the following days, members of the extended Sinclair family and representatives from other prominent households stream into the hospital to visit Lindsay. Gregory scales back his work, spending hours by his mother's bedside, earning him widespread praise as a devoted and caring son.

However, less than a week later, Lindsay's condition takes a sudden, sharp downturn. The Sinclair family is thrown into a state of panic.

The team of specialists is summoned once more. After a frantic round of examinations, the head doctor approaches Gregory, his brow glistening with nervous sweat. "Mr. Sinclair, we can no longer control the situation with conservative treatment. Surgery is her only chance at survival now. If we continue on this path, she might not last another month."

Gregory's expression darkens into a dangerous scowl. "You used to tell me conservative treatment was the safer route! Now you're demanding surgery? What if it fails? What if she suffers severe complications? Who is going to take responsibility for those risks?"

His booming voice makes the esteemed professors practically shrink into themselves. They are doctors, not gods; they can't guarantee a flawless outcome for such a high-risk procedure.

"We apologize, but the post-operative risks are impossible to predict," the head doctor stammers. "The worst-case scenario is that she never wakes up. The best-case scenario is that she regains consciousness, but there will undoubtedly be neurological damage and lingering complications."

They lay out the grim reality. No matter how powerful the Sinclair family is, no doctor is going to sign a death warrant by making an absolute guarantee. The heavy burden of the decision rests entirely on the family's shoulders.
