As there were aware that she had gone through a brutal collision, their hearts were in their throats, and they had all prepared for the worst.
Seeing Bailey shaking her head now, they subconsciously assumed that their worst fears had come true and that Felicity had not been saved.
Glen staggered back two steps with tears streaming down his face.
Yoel quickly grabbed him and said, tearing up, “Dad, I'm sorry for the loss... Felicity is...”
“She's not dead,” Bailey said helplessly. “I shook my head because her situation is very pessimistic, not because she didn't survive.”
Glen pushed his son aside and stood up straight, cursing angrily, “You d*mn brat, can't you talk properly? You scared the hell out of me.”
Bailey couldn't help but laugh. “I didn't say anything, okay? I just shook my head and sighed. Does shaking my head mean that she didn't survive? You guys are just too nervous.”
Glen choked up, snorted twice, and fell silent.
Gerald grabbed Bailey's arm and asked urgently, “Bay, what's the situation with your mother-in-law? Don't beat around the bush and tell us quickly.”
Bailey rubbed her forehead and said slowly, “A piece of glass plunged into her head and got stuck in the cranial part of the central nervous system. Although I removed the glass through surgery, damaging the brain nerves is a very serious matter. I'm not sure if she will wake up or not. If she doesn't, there is an eighty percent chance she will become a vegetable.”
A vegetable...
These words were like a heavy hammer slamming hard on their hearts.
Gerald clenched his teeth and asked, “Is being a vegetable the worst case scenario? Is there anything worse? If there is, tell us now. Don't hide it just because you're worried about our feelings.”
Bailey shook her head. “I'm sure she's going to make it, but whether she can wake up or not is really beyond my control. It all depends on her willpower.”
“Okay, thank you for your hard work.”
Bailey was silent for a moment, then slowly stepped back two steps and bowed to the Luther family and the Chivers family.
Glen became angry on the spot and rebuked her, “What are you doing?”
Bailey bowed slightly and said hoarsely, “I'm sorry. She could have escaped, but at a critical moment, she left the chance for survival to me. If it weren't for me dragging her down, she wouldn't be suffering like this today.”
Gerald was also somewhat dissatisfied and looked at Bailey with narrowed eyes. He said in a deep voice, “Bay, what you said is really hurtful. On your way to the Revelle family, Fliss sent me a message saying that you called her 'mom' and made her very happy. In times of crisis, she protected you, which is the same as protecting her own son. Do you understand?”
Bailey turned her head slightly, and tears that had been brimming in her eyes finally poured out.
Edmund stepped forward and patted her shoulder to comfort her. “Aunt Felicity had a car accident, and you saved her. But if you have a car accident, who will save you? If you die, many people will die with you.”
His words miraculously comforted Bailey. “You're right. I can't let anything happen to me. I still have a lot of things to do, such as finding the person who did this and making the person pay for what he's done.”
...
In a private mansion, there was a loud 'slap.'
Sofie slapped Zoey hard across the face.
“You id*ot, who gave you permission to act on your own? Do you realize that you almost ruined everything?”
Zoey hung her head, clutching her burning cheek with one hand as a cold gleam flashed in her eyes.
This old wretch! When I take over, she would be the first one I would torture. I'll make her wish for death.
