Yohan’s words got stuck in his throat. My voice was like a spell that froze him and Susan in
place.
His eyes went blank, and he couldn’t believe what he was hearing. At this moment, he would
rather there was a ghost standing behind him.
Susan turned around first. When she saw me standing there unharmed, her legs went weak, and she fell to the ground.
“How could it be you?” said Susan in a terrified tone, looking at me and then at the person on the hospital bed.
I smiled, “What’s wrong, Susan? What do you mean?”
Yohan grabbed my hand and stared at me intently as if trying to see through me. “You’re kay? How could you be okay?”
He blurted out his doubts subconsciously. I retorted, “What? Do you hope something happened to me?”
Yohan then realized he had said the wrong thing and forced a smile, saying, “I was so scared when I heard Debra bit someone. I thought it was you. I’m so glad you’re okay.”
I said calmly, “I guess I was just lucky and didn’t get bitten. But she suffered a lot. As soon as
she came out, she grabbed my hand and told me to call the police.”
“No way.” Hearing that I wanted to call the police, Susan and Yohan refused in unison.
At this moment, Yohan still didn’t realize that the person on the bed was his mother and just
thought it was some random passerby.
“After all, I’m an outsider. I can’t make this decision. You should decide yourselves,” I said to
Yohan.
Yohan looked at me with satisfaction. If the police were called, they could easily find out that
Debra had been starved for a long time, and Susan would be in danger then.
He walked to the bedside again, and his eyes showed a hint of impatience. “Name your price.
Let’s settle it privately. Susan is young. She can’t have a criminal record. Besides, it has nothing to do with her. Maybe you provoked Debra, and that’s why it attacked you. Debra is a purebred dog
We spent tens of thousands of dollars on it. We haven’t even mentioned this loss to you. Don
push your luck.”
On the bed, Donna’s chest heaved violently with anger when she heard Yohan say such
cold–hearted words. She started struggling on the bed, and the wounds that had been
bandaged properly burst open again. Blood slowly seeped through.
Susan chimed in at the right moment, “We’ll cover your medical expenses. Your wounds will
heal, but my Debra is gone forever.”
The two kept talking one after another. I was really afraid that the person on the bed wo
die in anger.
Donna had been extremely disappointed at this moment and had never expected Yohan to
Say such heartless words.
Suddenly, the door of the ward opened, and a nurse pushed a cart in. “Donna, it’s time to change your dressing.”
