“Shut up.I don’t need your fake kindness.”Lenora grabbed the porcelain doll and smashed it hard onto the floor.
Megan covered her chest and stepped back,her eyes full of fear.
“Lenora,have you gone crazy?In your current condition,how can you attend the family gathering later?You might get thrown out as soon as you arrive.”
Dale hesitated for a moment,then pressed his lips together and said,“Lenora,maybe you shouldn’t go to tonight’s banquet.”
Megan showed a confident smile,as if victory was already in her hands.“Don’t worry,Lenora.I’ll take your place and properly welcome the guests!”
After saying that,she held Dale’s arm and walked out closely beside him.
Dale only frowned slightly and did not refuse.
Not long after they left,a commotion suddenly came from outside the hospital room.
“Oh no,the hospital is on fire!”
Lenora forced herself to get out of bed,but she discovered that the door was locked from the outside.
Thick smoke entered her nose,making her lungs uncomfortable.She coughed violently and struggled to call for help.
The television suddenly flickered on,showing a live broadcast of the banquet.
The camera focused on Dale and Megan.A reporter asked curiously,
“Mr.Steele,we’ve heard that you are planning to divorce Miss Quay and form a marriage alliance with the Jaslin Family.Is that true?”
“That’s nonsense.”
Although Dale denied it,there was a hint of affection in the way he looked at Megan.Their silent interaction was captured by the camera and magnified for the audience to see.
Lenora slowly stopped trying to call for help.She stared blankly at the two people on the screen,her eyes filling with tears.
The burning flames entered the room and woke her from her daze.
Her eyes suddenly turned sharp.Without hesitation,Lenora opened the window and jumped from the eighth floor.
She felt as if every bone in her body had shattered.The extreme pain made her mind go blank.
Around her,she could hear the noisy and anxious voices of the crowd and the rescue workers,but she could not hear clearly or understand them.
Her mind was awake,yet she could not control her body.She felt like an animal in a slaughterhouse,completely at the mercy of others.
When she woke up again,Lenora felt dazed.All she could see was a glaring white light.
A nurse smiled and handed her a phone.A message had appeared on the screen.
