Return Of The Real Heiress: Secrets And Masks by Caspian Wood

Chapter 469

The doctor's words left Rita completely stunned. She stood there, staring blankly at the tightly shut doors of the operating room.

Her grip on the hem of her skirt nearly wrinkled it beyond recognition, her hesitation written all over her face.

Internally, she cursed, 'How could Morris be so heartless? A woman> means her entire life loses its worth.

'She'll be nothing more than a puppet, an empty shell of who she once was. How could my granddaughter, someone I've poured so much hope into, be ruined like this? No. There has to be another way.

The doctor assumed Rita was too distraught to process what was happening. Feeling pity for her, he called out, "Ms. Hawkins? Ms. Hawkins, time is running out. Please, you need to decide now."

Rita took a deep breath, pulled her phone from her handbag, and turned to the doctor. "This is serious. Give me two more minutes to make a call."

She walked to the window and dialed the first contact in her address book. The first call went unanswered, and she called again. The second time, the line rang for an agonizingly long moment before someone picked up. "What is it?" Hearing the voice, Rita immediately said, "Rayburn, I need your help. Something's happened to Yulia. She's bleeding heavily, and the doctors say they need to remove her uterus. Can you come to the hospital and take a look at her?"

Rayburn went silent for a few seconds before replying coldly, "I told you she'd get into trouble because of you. Now you're facing the consequences, aren't you?

"One of you is stubborn and scheming, while the other doesn't take care of herself and is self-destructive. This is the outcome of your own making. I'm sorry, but I can't help. Just listen to the doctors."

With that, the call ended, leaving Rita with nothing but the steady beep of the disconnect tone.

Anger and frustration overwhelmed her as she sank weakly into a chair. After a moment of deliberation, she turned to the doctor and said, "Dr. Hart, do as you said. Remove the uterus."
