Chapter 184
“I’m not going to talk. I just want to see whether you’ll truly strangle me to death!”
“Then, I’ll show you whether I’ll truly strangle you to death!” Selena exerted even more force.
Never had Megan expected her to have such great strength, nor had she ever thought that she’d truly strangle her.
Upon seeing that Megan was flushed red and was almost out of breath, Meredith screamed, “Help! Someone’s committing murder!”
This tactic was truly effective, attracting an even bigger crowd. Many ran over to watch the show though they had no inkling of what had happened between the two women, merely aware that one had her hands wrapped around the other’s neck, looking as though she intended to strangle her to death.
Selena naturally wasn’t planning on strangling Megan to death for real; she was keeping a tight rein on the force of her hands. Noticing that Megan was almost out of breath, she was just about to loosen her hands when someone from among the crowd tripped her. Stumbling, she pitched forward. Likewise, Megan, whose neck was held in her hands, naturally lost her footing as well.
Instinctively, Selena seized the handrail at the side, and she also automatically reached out to grab Megan, but it was too late. Megan tumbled right down the escalator, rolling several times before she fell to the ground; everything happened too suddenly.
“Quick! Help her!” Meredith shouted. Only then did the onlookers snap back to their senses and hurriedly dash downstairs.
“Mommy! Mommy!” Juniper walked alongside the crowd. Upon hearing her voice, Selena immediately went against the crowd and scooped her up. Then, she glanced in Megan’s direction
anxiously. The escalator is so high that I really don’t know what will happen to her now that she took a tumble down.
Immediately, Megan was rushed to the emergency room. Selena naturally wasn’t going to just leave; while she abhorred her, she didn’t really want her to die. Holding Juniper in her arms, she stood outside the emergency room. “Juniper, tell me where you went earlier. Didn’t I tell you not to go anywhere?” She found it extremely strange, for Juniper had always been an obedient child, but she went missing in the blink of an eye.
“I was taken away by someone. That person was so quick that I didn’t even have time to react. Later, that person said that I was mistaken for someone else and even apologized to me, but I got lost in the hospital. I only found you after searching for ages, Mommy.” Juniper lay in her arms, having suffered a scare as well.
“Everything is fine now.” Selena heaved a sigh. Could it be that it was a mere coincidence that I bumped into them today and misunderstood the situation? But it doesn’t feel right. The person who tripped me seemed to have done so deliberately. However, the person nearest to me at that time was Meredith. She couldn’t have been the one who tripped me, right? She must have been aware that Megan couldn’t possibly have escaped without a scratch if I were to stumble. No matter what, she won’t hurt her own biological sister, no?
Subsequently, Linda came and took Juniper away. Meanwhile, Selena waited for an update outside the emergency room.
When a doctor walked out, Meredith hastily sprang to her feet and rushed over. “How’s my sister?”
“She’s severely injured with multiple fractures, and she also took a severe blow to the head. She’s out of the woods now, but she needs to be kept under observation in the ICU. Also, the child is gone. We’ve tried our best, but we’re sorry that we’ll still have to tell you this. Please sign here now.”Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
The moment Selena heard the words ‘the child was gone’, she froze. Only then did she realize why Megan and Meredith were at the hospital; it was because Megan was pregnant, and they were there for a prenatal checkup!
After that, Meredith promptly signed before watching as Megan was transferred to the ICU, still unconscious and wrapped in layers of gauze.
