Chapter 1432 They Made Josie Choose
Deirdre clenched her fists tightly, expressing her contempt. "Don't try to persuade me anymore. You talk as if you only want what's best for me, yet you ordered me to starve for a full day. Your behavior will only make me hate you and not want to please you."Saul sighed, unfazed by Deirdre's remark, as it was within his expectations."It seems you're determined to be stubborn with me, huh?" he said.Deirdre smiled and spoke. "I believe Emily doesn't want me to die, right? If something bad were to happen to me here, I can't be sent to prison anymore. Emily wants me to endure torment in prison, so she won't let me die."Since I won't die, what is there to be afraid of? Your threat is inconsequential to me."Saul applauded. "Well said, Ms. McKinnon. My trip here has not been in vain."Noticing Saul's insinuation, Deirdre raised her head and asked, "What do you mean?"Saul replied slowly, "To be honest, I arrived at the police station five minutes ago. I didn't enter because I ran
Chapter 1433 It Is Possible to Cure Joseph's Legs
Saul ended the call, shattering Deirdre's last glimmer of hope. As he prepared to leave, he turned back and said, "Oh, by the way..."To be frank, there is still a possibility to cure Joseph's legs." He continued. "We intentionally delayed revealing this information to you. All you need to do is find a doctor to perform the surgery, and he will regain sensation in his legs soon enough. However..."He smiled. "You made your choice."Deirdre's eyes widened, and rage filled her chest. She was overcome with intense pain, causing her to drop to her knees and scream in agony.Cold sweat covered her body, and her head was clouded with pain, but one thought remained clear in her mind. She had to stop Josie from going through with the $30,000 deal."Hey, are you okay? What's happening? Why are you on the ground?"The door opened, and Deirdre tightly grasped his arm as the person approached. "Please, please tell Josie not to give her $30,000. Joe's... legs... can still be..."Her vision d
Chapter 1434 Amputation Surgery
Josie's voice was hoarse as she spoke. "Deirdre, Brendan and Declan are part of the same group."If Brendan refuses to help you, how can Declan agree to help? You've been lying to me about this from the beginning, haven't you?"Deirdre felt hopeless. "Did Saul tell you that?""Hmm." Josie weakly replied, "He also told me that if you give birth to a child in prison, the baby will be sent to a welfare center."I can't let you be separated from your child as soon as she's born. I can't be the one to allow that to happen. So, you must seize the opportunity to live and persist, Deirdre."Deirdre bit her lower lip tightly, unable to utter a realistic remark. She wanted to tell Josie that she had underestimated Emily's cruelty and that Emily was using the life-saving $30,000 to push her into a disastrous situation. With Josie sharing part of the responsibility, Emily would not be pleased with the outcome."I... Where are you now?""Us?" Josie turned her head to glance at Joseph, who wa
Chapter 1435 Proceed With the Surgery
Josie's mind went blank, unable to comprehend what Deirdre was saying. She asked, "Deirdre, do you understand what you're saying? The doctor confirmed that Joseph's legs were beyond salvage. They're broken...""This is what Emily wants us to believe. In reality, Joe's legs can still be saved. If he undergoes amputation now, he'll lose the ability to walk!"Josie's vision blurred in shock, her body trembling.Meanwhile, Deirdre rushed to the door of the operating theater and pounded on it desperately."Stop! Stop, everyone!"Startled, a nurse hurriedly approached and restrained Deirdre. "Have you lost your mind? The patient is undergoing surgery. If you cause a scene here, who will be responsible if something goes wrong?"Unyielding, Deirdre continued banging on the door, hoping to halt the surgery.Josie, still in a state of shock, could only watch, her body shaking uncontrollably.Finally, the door to the operating theater opened.Deirdre attempted to rush inside, but the doc
Chapter 1436 I Surrender Myself to Your Discretion
Josie's shock was overwhelming, almost causing her to lose consciousness. In anger, she exclaimed, "What? Emily said she would accept a private settlement and forgive Deirdre's offense, and that's when I gave her $30,000. How can that be considered compensation?"The police officer furrowed his eyebrows and responded, "That's impossible. We approved $30,000 as compensation for the losses at the engagement party. It has nothing to do with a private settlement. If it was for a private settlement, then why did we arrest Ms. McKinnon?"Josie collapsed to the ground, and Deirdre clenched her lips, suppressing her anger. She knew Emily wouldn't let the matter go easily, but she didn't expect her to be this cruel.The police forcefully took Deirdre away, and Josie desperately tried to pull her back. "Don't take her! Deirdre is innocent!""I've heard enough of these claims. If she were truly innocent, we wouldn't be here in the first place," the police officer warned. "I advise you to let
Chapter 1437 Get an Abortion
After a while, Saul returned with a wide smile on his face. "Congratulations, Ms. McKinnon. Ms. Collins is kindhearted, and she has agreed to your request at long last."Deirdre's fists clenched so tightly that her knuckles turned white."Alright," she said, her voice strained. "I believe there must be a reason Emily would agree to this.""You're right," Saul replied, his delight evident. He cast a meaningful glance at Deirdre's bulging belly. "However, I'm not sure if you'll be able to accept the reason."Deirdre's heart sank. Judging by Saul's tone, she knew it would be an incredibly difficult choice.Taking a deep breath, she spoke firmly. "How can I know if I can accept it if you don't tell me?"Saul smiled and said, "Alright, Ms. Collins has agreed to your request on one condition: she wants you to abort the child in your womb.""What?" Deirdre exclaimed, shocked by the suggestion.Her hand instinctively went to her belly as she listened to Saul's explanation. "You should
Chapter 1438 Surgery Is Today
"I'm sorry, baby," Deirdre said softly. "I'm sorry that I don't have the capability to protect you. I hope that you will be reborn into a good family while I... I'll come to see you when I'm done with the revenge."-While on their way to the villa, Emily received a call from Saul. Pleasant surprise and pride filled her eyes."Has Deirdre agreed to it?" she asked."Yes," Saul replied respectfully. "Ms. McKinnon has agreed to terminate the pregnancy but wants the earlier promise to be fulfilled as well."Emily expressed her contempt. "I didn't expect the woman to be so naive. Does she really think everything will be fine with the baby being aborted? It's not an easy feat to terminate a seven-month-old pregnancy. There's a possibility of complications or even death if any errors occur or her body isn't strong enough..."Saul instantly understood. "It would be a waste if something were to happen, Ms. Collins. I will arrange for the best doctor for her.""Good," Emily reminded. "Don
Chapter 1439 Not Responding
Brendan, with a calm expression, lay in a resting position in the room where incense was burning. As soon as Emily entered, he noticed her presence and expressed his surprise with his dark eyes. "What brought you here?""I heard from a colleague at the company that you took a leave of absence today. I was worried about you, so I came to visit," Emily replied with a gentle expression.Brendan rubbed his forehead. "I'm fine, just haven't been sleeping well lately. But the incense you gave me is quite good. It helps me fall asleep for a while after lighting it."Emily smiled. "Of course. I got it from the research center. It's very effective for insomnia patients. Are you feeling better now?""Hmm," Brendan responded, turning to head toward the closet. He pulled out his suit and continued. "Since you're here today, and it's a rare occasion, I'll take you out for a meal. I know a good place at Waterfront Mall."As he started removing his shirt, Emily hugged him from behind. Sensing th
