The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 702

"At this stage, the patient is completely paralyzed. She has even lost the ability to speak," the attending physician explains, his expression grave. "I'm afraid..."

He doesn't finish the sentence, but the implication hangs heavy in the sterile hospital air.

"No, Doctor, please! You have to save my wife!" Charles begs, his voice cracking. "Whatever it costs, just name your price!"

"He's right. The Dennis family has unlimited resources," Jake insists. "Do whatever it takes to bring her back!"

The brothers stand beside their father, completely overwhelmed. Watching their loved ones fall like dominoes is a suffocating nightmare.

"I'm sorry, but this isn't a matter of money," the doctor sighs, offering a sympathetic shake of his head. "We will do absolutely everything in our power. Her life isn't in immediate danger, but if the paralysis continues to advance to the point where she can't even swallow, we're looking at a countdown."

The blunt reality settles over the family like a lead weight. Nikolai is fighting for his life in the ICU, and now Deanna is locked inside her own failing body.

"Stay here and watch your mother," Charles orders abruptly, turning on his heel and walking out of the ward.

Watching him leave, Jade struggles to hide the malicious glee dancing in her eyes. The second he is out of sight, she pulls out her phone and quickly texts a report to Jovani. Does this mean her father has completely given up on Deanna? If so, the timing is perfect. Soon, she and her mother will finally take their rightful, public place in the Dennis family.
