Noelle dialed Frank's number, but the call went unanswered. Still, she was almost certain Lucas was right.

Lucas turned to Donovan, his voice full of righteous anger. "Donovan, did I say anything wrong?"

Donovan's expression stiffened. "You misheard. What Frank and I talked about was how I regretted missing Noelle's call, which led to Wyatt's amputation."

Noelle pressed him. "And what if you had answered back then?"

Donovan hesitated for a moment. "Then, we would've thought it through more carefully."

"And if not amputating meant he would die?" Noelle questioned.

Donovan fell silent because there was only one answer-amputation was the only way to save Wyatt's life. Of course, he could not admit that. Instead, he deflected. "No one knows what could've happened back then."

Xenia shouted, "Exactly! No one knew! And yet, all of you blame me—is that fair? I'll say this now-I won't stop until the foundation holds Xenia accountable. Let's see if she's got some magic trick to escape this!"
