Chapter 991
Late at night, Bethany stood at the door with a meal box in her hand,
knocking gently. “You haven’t eaten anything all day. You won’t be
able to hold out like that. I’ve brought you some food. They’re all your
favorites. Open up, Mom.”
But there was no response from inside the room.
Bethany began to feel anxious. She turned the doorknob and found
the door unlocked.
Fury surged within her.
The servants in the Salvador household were nothing but
opportunists, quick to change their tune depending on the situation
With news circulating about Gregory’s possible divorce from Shannon
and her declining influence, they started to show disrespect.
The servants claimed that the door was locked when they tried to
deliver food. However, that was not true. The servants made a half
hearted attempt at sending food.
Bethany cautiously entered the room. The room was in complete
darkness, sending shivers down her spine.
Suddenly, moaning sounds echoed from the bedroom.
Bethany’s heart raced as she hurried to the door.
As she pushed the door open, the clatter of the meal box slipping
from her grasp echoed in the room, almost startling her into a

There, she saw her mother, Shannon, in agony. Her disheveled
appearance and deathly pale face resembled a ghastly specter in the
darkness.
“It hurts. It hurts so bad… I-can’t bear it any longer!” Shannon cried
out, trembling uncontrollably.
With her heart pounding in her chest, Bethany pressed herself against the door, her fear palpable as she addressed her mother. “Mom, w- what’s going on?!”
Although Shannon was her mother, Bethany was terrified, as if she
had encountered a ghost.
“B-Bethany, I’m dying… I’m dying!”
Shannon tumbled off the bed with a clang, crawling to Bethany’s feet
like a dog, clutching her skirt desperately. “Nobody else can help me now… Only you can do it… You’re the only one who can help
“H-How can I help you?!” Bethany asked, trembling.
“Go find Dr. Fairchild right away and get the medicine from hi
inject it myself!”
At the mention of the medicine, a glimmer of hope flashed in
Shannon’s dim eyes. Her bloodshot eyes widened. “As long as I have that medicine… Everything will be fine. Without it, I might as well be
dead!”
“Mom! How are you any different from a drug addict now?! You can’t inject more of that stuff. That Dr. Fairchild is only causing you harm!” Bethany was both anxious and angry, on the verge of tears.
