Chapter 815
At this moment, Charles was still unconscious. He should have awakened by now, but the doctor was afraid he could not handle the shock and increased his dosage of anesthesia.
An hour later, Bella came out with the hospital director and two other surgeons, looking solemn.
“Bella, how’s Charles’ condition?” Lance immediately went forward.
The other Iverson family members, secretaries, and bodyguards
surrounded her.
Bella frowned and said, after a moment of silence, “Uncle Lance, I’m
not optimistic about Charles’ legs. His fracture was severe, and it’s
challenging to even connect the bones with metal nails, given the extent of comminution. The chance for a full recovery is zero, and the
probability of him standing up again is not even 20%.”
The Iversons were shocked.
Fortunately, Astrid and James were holding Lance, or the old man
would have probably fainted on the spot.
Only Christopher leaned against the wall in a corner that nobody paid
attention to. His glasses reflected a cold light as he curled his lips.
“Ms. Bella! Even if there’s only a one percent chance, please save my brother!” James spoke anxiously.
“Of course. Since I’m here, I’ll do my best.”
Bella’s eyes shone with hesitation.
Lance sensed that she wanted to say something. He asked nervously,
“Bella, if you have anything to say, just say it!”
“Uncle Lance, are you sure Charles’ legs were crushed in the
accident?”
Bella’s serious question left the Iversons shocked.
Only two people were calm with unfathomable looks. They were James and Christopher.
“Bella, what do you mean?” Lance questioned.
“I’ve treated countless fracture patients. With my experience, I could determine the cause of the injury through an examination. I could even guess what object caused it.”
Bella halted, lowering her voice. “I don’t think this is from a car
accident. There are signs of foul play. He might’ve been beaten by a heavy object like a metal bar.”
As her words fell, Christopher’s gaze darkened, and his face turned as
pale as snow.
“Ms. Bella, do you mean that someone attacked my brother after his
car crashed?”
James glanced in Christopher’s direction, pretending to be worried. “If
so, it seems that Charles’ accident was also intentional, right?”
Intentional?!
The crowd was shocked.
“Dad! Look! I’ve said it’s weird that Charles suddenly got into a car crash. I was right!” Astrid yelled angrily.
Lance’s eyes widened as his expression sank.
“I don’t know if someone intentionally caused the crash. I’m only stating some problems I noticed as a doctor. An hour later, I will perform surgery on Charles. It will be a long process, so you don’t need to wait here, Uncle Lance. Go home or rest at the KS World Hotel since it’s near. When the surgery is finished, I will inform you immediately,” Bella suggested considerately.
“I’m not tired. I will wait here!”
Lance was increasingly favorable to his future daughter-in-law.
No matter what, he would make Bella marry into the Iverson family!
