NovelOnline"Move aside. If anything happens to Mary, that girl from the Everett family won't get away with it! I'll pursue criminal charges against her," Jane said sternly. She perfectly embodied the image of a devoted daughter-in-law of the Ludden family.
Upon hearing that, Christopher froze. However, he still blocked the door with his body and refused to move.
"Get him out of here!" Ralph ordered the butler.
"Sorry, Mr. Christopher, but I have to do this," the butler said as he signaled two bodyguards to drag Christopher away.
At that moment, Andrew suddenly raised his hand to halt them. "Step aside." Christopher was overjoyed, believing that Andrew was on his side. He thought that if Andrew also trusted Hera, then Mary could hold on until tomorrow to take the medicine. Ralph furrowed his brows.
Seeing this, Jane asked fearlessly, "Andrew, are you going to interfere too?" Andrew did believe in Hera, but in such a situation, mere belief wasn't enough.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"I said, step aside. Didn't you hear me?" he said to Christopher.
"Dad?" Christopher was puzzled.
With a serious look, Andrew forcibly pulled him aside.
Just as Christopher was about to protest, he heard Andrew whisper, "Go bring Hera here." Christopher was momentarily stunned before he finally grasped Andrew's intent.
If Christopher were to be dragged away by the bodyguards, he would have certainly been kept under watch. However, with Andrew intervening, he wouldn't end up detained. Christopher nodded and took the opportunity to slip away while everyone wasn't paying attention.
Meanwhile, Zaid entered the room to examine Mary. After a while, he shook his head. "It's too late. The fluid has compressed the blood vessels for too long. Many cells in her legs have necrosed, and the only option left is amputation.
"But Mrs. Ludden Senior is too old, and the surgery carries high risks. I suggest bringing Dr. Shadow back to see if there are any other options." Those words were undoubtedly a death sentence for Mary.
Ralph's expression instantly turned grim.
"Camille isn't in Norburgh. Even if she were here, she might not agree to treat Mary again, but I'll do my best to convince her to come." Jane let out a sigh. After a brief pause, she reproached Andrew and his wife with a harsh expression, "Are you happy now?" Andrew remained silent. Alice's lips quivered, but she couldn't find words to defend herself.
"Let's solve the problem first. It's not the tto point fingers right now," Ralph said grimly.
He always upheld family rules with fairness and justice. Even if it were his son's mistake today, he would still say the sthing.
Upon hearing that, a fleeting look of malice flashed in Jane's eyes. If Andrew's family were blamed for causing Mary's death, they would never rise again. The Ludden residence would then belong to Ralph and her for good.
The medical facilities at the Ludden residence were limited. Zaid contacted hospital personnel to prepare for transporting Mary to the hospital for observation and treatment.
As the medical team arrived and was about to transport Mary, Andrew noticed Christopher was still not back yet. He intervened, "Wait a moment." "What are we waiting for?" Ralph asked.

"Mary's condition has gotten this bad because of her, and you still trust her? Will you only accept reality when Mary draws her last breath?" Jane questioned harshly.
"I offer all the Ludden family's shares I hold as a guarantee and ask you to grant Hera one more chance. If it doesn't work, my family and I will voluntarily leave the Ludden residence with nothing," Andrew stated solemnly. Alice was startled and tugged at his sleeve. She liked Hera, but offering such a huge guarantee for her was too much.
Jane had been waiting for this moment. There was a bit of excitement in her heart, but she didn't forget to keep up her facade.
"Do you take Mary's life as a joke?" she questioned.
Ralph was equally puzzled. Andrew was always deliberate in his actions.

Zaid had a high reputation in the medical community. His diagnosis was almost always accurate.om Sending Mary to the hospital now meant they would wait for Camille to cback and treat her, or perhaps they needed to find a more capable miracle doctor.
