Chapter 286

Inside the ICU of the medical base, Felicity was sitting by the bed, holding Maxton's arm with one hand and stroking his pale face with the other.

“My poor grandson. You used to be so energetic. What have we done for you to deserve such a fate?”

Standing behind Felicity, Rhonda—who was staring at the unconscious child—couldn't help but curl her lips in schadenfreude.

Bailey, even though I failed to kill your three children seven years ago, there's still no escape for them now. One has become a vegetable, while the other two have their lungs stricken with poison. These b*stards of yours are fated to become my stepping stones to marrying into a prominent family. Haha, in the meantime, you should enjoy the pain of losing your children. Hopefully, you'll be strong enough to continue living after the b*stards' deaths because Zoey can't wait for the opportunity to teach you a lesson.

“M-Mrs. Luther...” she sobbed while reaching out to help Felicity up. “L-Let's go outside so that Max can rest. I'm certain he'll regain consciousness one day. I have no doubt about it.”

After wiping the tears off her face, Felicity turned toward the teary-eyed Rhonda and lamented, “As his mother, no one is more devastated than you are. And yet, I put you in a difficult position by needing you to console me.”

Me? Devastated? Haha! I can't wait for the child to meet his maker! Perhaps if he is reincarnated as my son, there's still a chance that I might feel sad for him.

Felicity, oh, Felicity. Despite dominating with a strong and shrewd hand your entire life, I never expected you to be increasingly foolish as you get on in years. Even though I'm doing your three grandchildren in, you're still unaware that I've been manipulating you.

“Mrs. Luther...” Rhonda blinked, allowing a huge teardrop to streak down her cheek. “I-It's true that I'm stricken with grief. If the doctor hadn't said that there's hope for Max still, I would definitely feel like ending my life.”

“Nonsense,” Felicity couldn't resist admonishing her. “You're still young. Hence, you can still bear more children when your body recovers. Going forward, I'm not going to tolerate you speaking about ending your life. Do you hear me?”

“Yes, I understand. I'll do as you say. Let me help you out, Mrs. Luther.”

Rhonda was worried that if she stayed any longer, she wouldn't be able to hold herself back from rushing to the ventilator and pulling out the tubes connected to Maxton, hastening his death.
