The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In

Chapter 578 You Break It, You Nurse It 1

While still scolding Tessa, Lewis marched over to pull her up.

Tessa’s mind was completely blank–absolutely buzzing. In that moment, she was totally dazed.

Lewis yanked her up, and her body moved on autopilot, her brain still not catching up.

Silas rushed to help Victor. “Victor, are you okay?”

Sweat had already broken out across Victor’s forehead. “Get the doctor.”

Finished

As soon as they heard that, Lewis’s scolding kicked into high gear. “Tell me the truth–who sent you to kill Victor?”

“I wasn’t trying to!” Tessa protested, sounding like a complete coward.

At this point, she couldn’t have explained herself even if she had ten mouths. She didn’t even want her legs

anymore.

Her mouth, her hands, her feet–every time she was around Victor, they just took turns creating disasters. She was completely disoriented now.

Lewis shouted, “Not trying to? You absolutely were. First you failed to poison him, and now you’re trying to crush him to death? Why not just finish the job and let him die in your bed?!”

What kind of death threat was that supposed to be?

Tessa held her forehead, stunned. What on earth was Lewis saying?

For a second, she actually regretted not insisting that Victor send her off with Dr. Eddie. Honestly, she probably would’ve been safer that way.

Her mouth really was going to get her killed one of these days.

Faced with Lewis’s nonstop barrage, Tessa couldn’t take it anymore and started crying.

Seeing her cry only made Lewis angrier. “Crying? Oh, now you wanna play the victim? You’ve got more tricks than you’ve got brain cells!”

Which only made Tessa cry harder, now full–blown sobbing.

The doctor and nurses arrived quickly.
