    Still, Lily had gone too far this time. Elsa looked far too fragile and devastated. John couldn’t bring himself to push her away–he simply held her tighter and murmured softly, over and over, “Don’t cry… Wendy will be okay.”


    “What if she’s not?”


    Elsa kept trembling, crying like she’d suffered the worst injustice in the world.


    She sniffled painfully, her voice shredded like it had been run over by a truck. “I… I just asked the doctor. He said my mom only has about a ten percent chance of waking up. I wanted her to be healthy and live a long life. But ten percent… That means she’s probably not going to make it… It should’ve been me who died.”


    She turned her tear–filled eyes toward Lily, every word dripping with anguish. “Lily, I was wrong. I admit it. I shouldn’t have dreamed of having John stay by my side till the end. I shouldn’t have upset you. I shouldn’t havee between you and John… I was wrong. Just please let my mom live, okay? Why didn’t you hit me instead of her? I don’t want to live without my mom…”


    “Lizzy, don’t cry…”


    Seeing her in such despair, Simon couldn’t bear it either.


    To him, Lizzy had always been a warm little sun.


    Her joy and optimism had helped him through his darkest times. She had healed his heart.


    Of course he couldn’t stand seeing her cry like this.


    “John, Simon, I really should’ve been the one to die.”


    Elsa’s sobs turned to full–body heaves. “What did my mom ever do to deserve this? Why is she the one in the ICU? Why not me? Why…”


    Lily didn’t believe for a second that Elsa didn’t know about Wendy’s n.


    She needed to get her hands on the evidence–she had no time to sit here watching Elsa put on a show.


    Even though her head was pounding and her legs felt like lead, she braced herself against the bedrail and slowly got up.


    She hadn’t worn her micro camera every day in the past.


    But after almost being assaulted by Randall and the others at the Charmer, she’d bought a miniature camera with audio recording and had worn it daily ever since–just in case.


    Wendy had already destroyed her dashcam, so that wasn’t going to help.


    But the camera on her body had definitely captured everything.


    She could ess the footage from her phone orptop.

    After being force–fed two bottles of strong liquor, she’d passed out cold and had no idea what Wendy did to her phone afterward.


    But knowing Wendy, there was no doubt the woman would’ve tampered with it somehow.


    And Lily was sure that Wendy and Elsa weren’t just aiming to get her locked up.


    They wanted to use public opinion to ruin herpletely, to make sure she’d never recover.


    At this point, her so–called drunk driving test results and photos of Wendy’s so–called critical injuries had probably already gone viral.


    She had to get back to the Luke family estate, edit the footage of Wendy framing her, and upload it–make Wendy understand what it meant to dig her own grave.


    “Lily, after what you did to Wendy, you still have the nerve to run?!”


    John had been too busyforting Elsa to notice Lily getting out of bed.


    But Simon, whose gaze kept drifting to her, did.


    Seeing her try to leave even after making Elsa cry like that–without a hint of remorse–made him think she was nothing but a cruel, vile monster.


    He wasn’t about to let her walk away. He stormed over and grabbed her throat without mercy.


    “Apologize to Elsa! Until Wendy wakes up, you’re staying right outside the ICU! If she doesn’t make it–I’ll make you pay with your life!”


    “Simon, are you insane?!”


    Her chin had just started to recover from John’s grip, and now Simon was trying to strangle her? Lily was livid.


    But strength–wise, she was no match. No matter how furious she was, she couldn’t break free from his grasp


    And he only kept tightening his grip, like he really was trying to snap her neck.


    Her body trembled from the pain, and she coughed violently before she could find her voice again.


    “I already said–I wasn’t drunk. I didn’t hit Wendy with my car. I have evidence. Her so–called critical injury? It was all staged!”


    She didn’t want this lunatic to actually strangle her, so she grabbed his wrists with both hands, trying to relieve the pressure on her throat!


    But the more she struggled, the more violent his gaze became.


    He squeezed harder. The pain was so unbearable she could barely move, let alone pry him off.


    “Lily, Wendy’s on the brink of death because of you. If you won’t admit what you’ve done, fine. But how dare you nder her on top of everything else?”
