Chapter 591

Byron:

Sometimes, I felt strange, as if all the bad things only happened to good people.

That was why, at times, I was afraid that maybe I had made a mistake by being good. But then I would think, what was the point of being bad?

Being bad only meant hurting others, and then innocent people like Madeline would suffer.

Then finally, I started receiving small bits of good news. It felt like things were slowly getting better, even if only little by little.

Especially the fact that Ron’s case was about to be solved.

I knew how much that had troubled everyone, so the thought of good news coming in made me feel hopeful.

But before any good news could arrive, another blunder happened.

Late at night, I received a call from Madeline. The way she was crying, I could already tell it was something bad.

Then she told me that someone had attacked Yuvonne. The attack was so brutal that she had to be rushed to the hospital immediately.

I reached the hospital before her, probably because she had to take care of her children first, which was exhausting in itself.

The fact that there were people living with her, yet they did not come forward to support her, made no sense to me.

What is a family for if they cannot even support each other?

Lady Eugenia was awake, wasn’t she? Even after knowing everything, she left poor Madeline to deal with it all alone.

It felt like everything would be fine once I reached the hospital, but when I got there,

I realized things had already gotten much worse.

When they began examining her wound and preparing for surgery, I waited outside the room.

After a while, the doctor came out and gave me a very sad look.

“What is it?” I asked, my tone demanding and determined.

“We are trying our best, but there is only a one percent chance that she will survive, and even that would be a miracle.”

As he said those words, I placed my hand on my chest and clutched it, as if holding my heart together. It felt like a disaster.

“What do you mean by that? There must be something you can do,” I asked.

“Is there any medicine, any other therapy, anything?”

I insisted, but the doctor gave me a defeated look.

“There is no such therapy for the wounds she has sustained. You must not forget that she was shot with silver and wolfsbane bullets.”

I bit my tongue defeatedly.

“Anyway, we will let you know in a few minutes, because that’s all the time she has.”

The more he spoke, the more chills ran down my spine.

After that, what I had feared the most happened. Madeline arrived at the hospital.

Seeing her condition made me feel terrible. She did not deserve any of this.

She had just received good news. A rascal’s truth had just come out, and now this was happening.

It all felt very wrong.

“Madeline, don’t take all the burden on yourself Even if they had come for you, you would never know. Besides, whoever did this is a cruel person they had come in and you were not in the bed, they would have looked around. And if they had found Yuvonne awake, they would have

tried to get rid of her just to silence

her.”

I tried to reason with her, to comfort her, but she kept shaking her head and sniffling

in pain.

“This should have never happened to begin with,” she uttered.

Then she moved aside and looked toward the entrance.

“I’ll go and meet the doctor,” she said.

However, I wasn’t sure if that was the right thing to do.

The reason was that I was afraid the doctor would tell her what he had told me. And

I had a bad feeling she would not take it well.

I wanted to stop her, but she kept rushing forward.

As we went inside and neared the room, I could already sense that something bad

had happened. The doctor was coming out, shaking his head sadly.

“Doctor, how is my sister?” Madeline asked, rushing to him.

Her voice was shaking so badly that it made my chest tighten.

“We are trying our best, but for now we have put her into a temporary sleep because she was losing blood quickly the doctor responded making Madeline gasp and place her hand on her chest.

“What do you mean?” she asked, almost as if she already knew. She was just asking how they could do that.

“I’ll tell you one thing. There is a

valley hidden in the mountains. The water from that valley is sacred. Itės. holy you can get that water, it might help her. There is more information about this cure in the hospital library.”

It felt like a little hope now.

“But remember, we don’t have much time.”

As the doctor spoke, I placed a hand on my forehead, watching Madeline nod.

I knew she would not waste a single minute before setting out to find a cure for

Yuvonne.

And that was exactly what happened.

She immediately turned to me and then rushed toward the library.

I knew what that look meant. She wanted me to stay with the children so she could

go and read more about the valley, the holy valley.
