Reborn Fake Heiress Watch the Whole Family Burn novel Chapter 18

To end up like this, he must have suffered immensely.

“We’re ready for surgery, Elena,” Theresa announced, poking her head in.

“Good. I’m scrubbing in.”

Dylan opened his eyes and stared at her. “You are going to operate on me?”

“Yes. I’m personally performing the surgery. I’m going to save you and rebuild you.”

“I told you, I don't need it. I’m a cripple. Why won't you let me die? Why must you save me!” Dylan’s voice broke with despair.

Elena didn't know his full history, but the evidence of abuse was written on his bones. The hate must run deep.

“Dylan, don't you want revenge? If you die, your enemies win. They’ll be happy. Living is the best revenge.”

“I died once too. Now I cherish my life more than anything. While you breathe, there is hope.”

“Do you understand the pain of being flayed alive? Your enemies feast on your flesh and drink your blood. Are you really willing to let them step over your corpse and laugh?”

Elena’s words struck a chord. Dylan fell into deep thought.

His experience was exactly that. They had drained him dry.

After a long silence, Dylan looked at her. “Do it. I’ll cooperate.”

“If one day I can actually stand... my life is yours.”

Elena nodded. “Deal. I’ll bring you back.”

She administered the anesthesia. The surgery began.

It was a marathon procedure. From cranial extraction to bone reconstruction, the damage was extensive.
