"Why did you say that?" Lillian looked at Joanna, who was obviously weak but very domineering.
Joanna smiled sarcastically, "Sebastian will announce your relationship to everyone. Are you complacent? Lillian, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't follow him namelessly. If it weren't for you, Mrs. Palmer would be me. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't lie here today! "
Lillian pursed her lips, but Joanna was still emotional, "Lillian, do you know what it feels like to swallow a whole bottle of sleeping pills? Do you know the pain of the stomach tube being fed into the stomach and the liquid being poured into the stomach over and over again? Do you dare to be cruel to yourself for him? "
There was only Joanna gasping for agitation in the ward. Looking at her who tortured herself for Sebastian, Lillian replied calmly and indifferently, "I will not treat myself like this, because he is not worth it."
Joanna was slightly startled, then sneered. When she asked Sebastian to divorce, his hesitation had already given her a sense of crisis. For him, everything she did was worthwhile.
Joanna sat up slowly, but she just woke up after all, and she didn't have enough strength. She was still infusion on the back of her hand. Although she was trying to sit up, she couldn't hold her arm firmly. She almost fell out of bed and the infusion support was shaken.
Lillian was shocked and walked over to hold her. Joanna held her hand instead and raised her eyes to look straight at her. She panted, her tone suddenly begging, "Lillian, then you let him go. Will you help me?"
They stared at each other at close range. Joanna's look made her tremble slightly, as if she was the villain who broke them up.
Joanna never thought about her helplessness in this position. If it were in ancient times, Lillian was the wife who was consigned to limbo, while Joanna was the concubine favored by the husband, whose status was actually higher than her. Besides, Sebastian didn't love Lillian at all.
"Joanna, it's not up to me." Lillian avoided Joanna's hand while speaking. Joanna, who was still weak just now, was clutching Lillian's arm aggressively: "Why? Are you greedy for the status of Mrs. Palmer? Are you greedy for the rich and noble life given by Sebastian? You selfish woman! "
Joanna seemed to be out of control, and she pinched Lillian's arm with a terrifying expression. Lillian felt that her arm was about to bleed, and she could only force Joanna's hand off.
"Joanna, calm down. Let me go!"
They pulled, but the sickly Joanna was not as strong as Lillian. When Lillian pushed her hand away, she actually fell to the ground. The infusion stand and the small table next to it also tipped over, spilling items all over the floor.
Lillian didn't expect it and was suddenly shocked.
Sebastian accompanied the doctor to the end of the corridor. The doctor suddenly stopped and looked at him and said, "Sebastian, I forgot to tell you last night that the amount of sleeping pills Joanna swallowed was not fatal. You don't have to worry too much."
"Not a lethal dose?" Sebastian heard the point.
The doctor nodded, "Yes, if she took one more pill, it would be serious. I think God favored her and was reluctant to take her life. But she is not in a good mood, and you should comfort her."
The doctor patted Sebastian on the shoulder, turned and left. Sebastian stood there in a daze, feeling a little strange.
After thinking about it for a while, he really didn't know what was wrong. He waved away the mixed thoughts in his head and walked to the ward. When he walked to the door, he saw Lillian lying on the ground embarrassed, and Lillian stood beside him with a panicked face.
