Trading My Ex for His Uncle by Hello Spring

The corridor fell silent. Even the drop of a needle would have been audible.

After an indeterminate amount of time, the emergency room door finally swung open.

Cindy rushed forward to intercept the doctor. "Doctor, how is my son?"

"There's no immediate danger to his life, but he may never be able to walk again. Please be prepared for that," the doctor replied.

If Clark were to become disabled, he'd lose any chance of inheriting the Sumner Group. Richard would never hand over the company to someone unable to walk.

Cindy spun around to face Nyla and charged at her. "Nyla, you wretched woman! You've done this to my son. I won't let you get away with it!" Before she could reach Nyla, Damon stepped in and blocked her path. He stood between them, preventing any harm from coming to Nyla.
