GET IT NOW
Chapter 103 The Punishment He Deserves
Several doctors were examining my daughter. One of them said something while looking at the brain CT scan. The others nodded in agreement, and then he carefully examined Ava again.
Standing outside, I could hardly breathe as I stared at what was happening.
After an hour, the doctor emerged. He said to Atlas, “Mr. Atlas, it appears that there’s no damage to the
intracranial nerves for now, so she should wake up soon.
“However, due to the concussion, there are multiple areas of soft tissue and subdural bleeding, and the subdural hematoma is extensive. Anyway, I’ll stay here until she wakes up to run further tests.”
Matthew kept thanking the doctor that Atlas had engaged for us.
Ava woke up from the coma after 28 hours, to everyone’s relief.
She obediently stared at me through the window while the neurosurgeon examined her. I smiled and
waved at her as I cried, pressing myself against the window to calm her.
After the tests, Atlas arranged to transfer Ava to a luxurious room where I could stay with her. Ava tried
to cheer me up when we were alone by saying she was born lucky. I was greatly comforted.
Henry and Melanie didn’t show up at the hospital again because I didn’t want to see them. Matthew and
his mother brought us food in turns, but I tried to ignore them. I no longer considered them family.
Even Ava did the same. No matter how hard they tried to get her to talk, she held onto me and didn’t
allow them to touch her.
Matthew tried to stop me from suing Henry by saying it was a family matter, but I wanted the old man to
pay for his actions.
Henry had always been prejudiced against Ava simply because she was a girl. As he had treated her like
dirt, he didn’t deserve our respect, and I would never forgive him.
A week after Ava was released from the hospital, Henry’s case of intentional harm went to trial. Adrian
presented the court with compelling evidence, including the medical report.
