Chapter 464
"Liam Remus, if anything happens to my mother, I'll make sure that you die with her!"
Liam smiled in an attempt to provoke him. He did not care about what Neil said.
"She drove her own car. Does it have anything to do with me? Perhaps she chose to commit suicide because she felt guilty about killing my parents. That's possible, right?"
Neil subconsciously clenched his fists, and the atmosphere became extremely tense.
Silvia was worried that Neil would impulsively hit Liam again, so she softly asked, "Why don't we bring him back to Remus Residence?"
Liam sneered. "You can try."
Immediately after, a few dozen men in black outfits surrounded them. All of them appeared cold, as well as indifferent, and they seemed like martial arts experts.
Neil and Silvia's expressions changed. They clearly did not expect Liam to bring so many people with him. If Neil was there alone, it would not be difficult to deal with these people. However, he did not want Silvia to get hurt.
While they remained silent, his phone suddenly rang.
"Young Master, we've found Mrs. Remus... but her car went over the guardrail and rolled down the cliff. She's unconscious, and the ambulance is on its way..."
Neil's face fell, and his voice was deep and cold. "I'll be there in a second!"
Their surroundings had been quiet, so Liam heard the conversation. He curled his lips into a mocking smile.
"If you rush over now, you can probably see her for one last time!"
Based on his tone, it sounded like he was gloating. Neil held his phone so tightly that his fingers started to turn pale.
Silvia immediately grabbed his arm and sternly said, "Neil, let's go to the scene first!"
They got into the car, but Silvia did not let him drive. She drove to the scene instead.
Liam's smile grew brighter, and he spoke happily, "Let's go home. I want to rest well tonight. After all, if my aunt dies, it'll be a bit inappropriate if her nephew doesn't attend her funeral. I'll have to be in good spirits."
When Silvia and Neil arrived at the scene, the ambulance happened to arrive as well. The moment Silvia saw that the paramedics carry out Melanie's bloody body, she held Neil's hand tightly.
"Neil, she'll be fine..."
He remained silent and just stared at Melanie.
The two of them headed to the hospital together, and Melanie was pushed into the operating theater. The nurse brought Neil the consent form for surgery so that he could sign it.
Neil held the pen and paused for a while before he signed his name. He signed it aggressively as if every stroke took all of his strength.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
When the light in the operating theater lit up, Jake arrived.
He finally looked flustered as he asked in a trembling voice, "What's going on? How did she get into a car accident in the same place as my brother and sister-in-law?"
Silvia looked at him and realized that he was not worried about Melanie; he was just flustered and afraid. She instantly understood what was on his mind.
It looked like he did not care whether Melanie would survive or not. He was just worried about Liam's retaliation.
Even though Silvia was not fond of Melanie, she still felt that Jake was selfish and weak.
After all, they had been married for a few decades. They even had a son and daughter together. How could he be so cold and indifferent?
Silvia could not be bothered to explain the incident to Jake. She just accompanied Neil in silence.
Since he was being ignored, Jake walked to the side in dissatisfaction. He sat down and did not speak again. The light in the operating theater only went off early the next morning.
Melanie's body was full of tubes. Her eyes were tightly shut, and her face was pale when they pushed her out.
The doctor followed closely behind. He took off his mask and spoke with a solemn expression, "The patient hit her head. There's a contusion in her brain, so I don't know when she'll regain consciousness. You have to be mentally prepared."
