Chapter 577 - Try Touching Her
Chapter 577: Try Touching Her
This time, Karen truly felt that her daughter Cheyenne had gradually gotten out of her control and that she would soon no longer be able to manipulate her with some simple tricks like she had in the past.
Due to her panic of losing control and the fact that William was soon about to regain consciousness to reveal everything she had done, Karen felt extremely frustrated.
A wave of anger instantly surged in Karen’s heart, and she yelled at Lucas menacingly, “It’s all your fault! It’s all your fault! You must have deliberately badmouthed me behind my back and urged Cheyenne to go against me, her own mother! Cheyenne would never talk to me like this in the past, so you must have sowed discord! Lucas Gray, you can’t stand to see Cheyenne and me getting along well, huh?”
Karen targeted Lucas and shrieked at him at the top of her voice.
Lucas glanced at her indifferently and sneered. “You don’t need to continue pretending to be a loving mother and a virtuous wife here. Even before I returned, have you ever sincerely treated William as your husband and Cheyenne as your daughter? You don’t have to deliberately try to provoke me or put the blame on me. I’m sure you know better than anyone why William got into that car accident!
“Don’t worry. William will wake up in a few days, and by then, whatever you’ve done will all be revealed! When that time comes, I will definitely not let that person off!”
Lucas’s words were so decisive that Karen couldn’t help feeling a pang of panic.
The massive panic made her face turn pale, and all she could think about was the outcome she would face once everything was exposed.
At that time, not only would William not spare her, but Lucas wouldn’t spare her either! Cheyenne and Charlotte would probably disown her as well…
When the time came, what would she do?
Lucas looked at her panicked face and said coldly, “You’d better leave William’s ward. We don’t feel safe about you being here!”
Lucas’s words were extremely direct, and he was almost about to blurt out blatantly that Karen would harm William.
Karen screamed in anger and shame, “You… you don’t go too far! Who are you to make me leave? William is my husband, and he’s now lying in a hospital bed. I’m his rightful next-of-kin. Who are you to throw me out?
“If anyone has to get out, it should be you two! You unfilial ingrates, you treat your mother so badly. How can I still hand William over to you with peace of mind? Get lost now!”
While cursing furiously, she ran over like a shrew and grabbed Cheyenne’s hand to drag her out.
“Cheyenne, you’re just a heartless ingrate! What are you still doing here pretending to look after your father? Your mother is being driven to her grave by you, and yet you’re still here every single day. Do you want your father to die sooner?
“You bastards, I bet you want us to die sooner because once we die, no one will be watching you two, and you’ll be free to inherit all the assets. That must be your plan, huh?!
“And you’re pretending to be a filial daughter here every single day. Psht! Get lost immediately!”
Karen cursed loudly like a madman while pulling Cheyenne’s wrist with all her might to drive her out.
She deliberately wanted to be extremely callous with her words and make sure everyone in the hospital heard her so that Cheyenne would be too ashamed to stay!
As long as Cheyenne and Lucas scrammed out of the ward, she could find an opportunity to make a move against William again and kill him to prevent him from revealing the truth!
With these evil thoughts in mind, she suddenly raised her hand and slapped Cheyenne’s delicate little face while pulling her along.
“You are not worthy of being my daughter at all!” Karen hollered with a twisted expression.
“Stop it!” Lucas grabbed Karen’s hand and stopped her from hitting Cheyenne while roaring menacingly, “Try touching her again!”
At this moment, Lucas was extremely murderous, and the gaze in his eyes was ice cold, like a sharp dagger piercing into Karen’s heart.
The wrist Lucas was holding seemed to snap into half. She was in so much pain that she couldn’t speak!
But at this moment, Karen couldn’t care less about the excruciating pain in her wrist. All of her senses were overwhelmed by fear.
Looking at the gaze in Lucas’s eyes, Karen finally understood that he would definitely take her life without saying a word if she slapped Cheyenne again!
Scared by Lucas’s menace and murderous aura too, Cheyenne raised her head and grabbed his arm. She persuaded carefully, “Hubby, why don’t…”
She was truly afraid that Lucas would really do something to Karen in a moment of anger.
That result was definitely not what she wanted to see!
Lucas restrained his aura and looked at Cheyenne comfortingly to hint to her that he hadn’t lost his rationality yet.
But Lucas’s eyes were still as cold as a knife when he stared at Karen.
“Cheyenne is my woman. Even you can’t lay a hand on her! This is the last time. If you dare to make a move on her again, I will break whichever hand of yours that you use to hit her. I will do what I say!” Lucas said coldly and let go of Karen’s wrist.
At this moment, Karen was about to wet in her pants because of how frightened she was. She had broken out in cold sweat and didn’t dare to utter a single word. Holding her bruised wrist, she shrunk into the single sofa in the corner of the ward.
To be honest, Karen was now so terrified of Lucas that if she could, she would scurry away and stay far, far away from him!
But she also knew that it wouldn’t be as easy for her to come back once she left.
Once she couldn’t even enter William’s ward, how could she find the opportunity to kill him?
So despite trembling with fear, she was determined to stay!
Lucas glanced at Karen, knowing full well what her intentions were, but he wasn’t bothered at all.
Anyway, there was no way Karen could get what she wanted regardless of the nonsensical intentions she had!
Through Cheyenne’s determination just now, Lucas was aware of her thoughts.
If Karen’s evil deeds were exposed, Cheyenne would no longer indulge her and would instead make her bear the consequences she deserved.
Lucas was a lot less scrupulous.
Time flew by, and soon it was evening.
Maddy gave Lucas a call. “Lucas, I’ve already made all the preparations, and I can start giving your father-in-law his first treatment any time!”
