Everyone waited at the hospital for an entire day. Even Danaâs parents arrived after they got wind of what happened to Dana and Lucy, and the entire Winston Family was also shocked to hear that.
âItâs all my fault. Itâs all my faultâ¦â The head of the Winston Family banged his head on the wall with his face full of regrets.
He was too unreasonable back then. Most of the Winston Family members were actually like that as they were used to the working style of the underworldâselfish and arrogant.
Because I wanted a daughter, I made Dana, who was originally a man, become a woman. I said that if he didnât oblige, I would cut his male parts off.
Unexpectedly, he actually hid this for more than 10 years!
Harry also berated, âThat b*tch! After she wakes up, Iâll definitely strangle her!â
Itâs such a huge surprise that Dana has been together with Lucy for more than 10 years! In order to protect Lucy, she pretended to be a playboy for so long!
Harry felt sorry and angry whenever he thought about this younger âsisterâ of his.
Since young, they had been constantly fighting. Even though their relationship was not that close, they were still able to work together whenever a serious issue popped up.
In her phone, she had set Harryâs contact name as âBrotherâ.
After she was attacked, she called him when she was on the verge of death. After all, Harry had always been Danaâs role model. She actually respected him a lot, but she was mean in her words and actions.
After all, this was her natureâshe just wanted to take revenge on the entire society. Only when everyone hated her could she experience the perverted pleasure.
Even though she slept with the young lady of the Edwards Family, so what?
Dana is the daughter of the head of the Winston Family! Is she not good enough for Lucy?
So what if they are lesbians? Dana wasnât f*cking around with Jordanâs mother anyway! Why did he have to kill her?
On the other hand, Jordan didnât want Dana to stay alive at all. The few gunshots that he fired had made Danaâs body full of holes. If they applied some medicine on top of the wounds, it would leak out, and if they transfused blood from one end, it would just flow out of the other.
How dare Jordan attack someone from the Winston Family!
Harry clenched his fists angrily, his eyes bloodshot. It was not just an angry puff that came out of his breathâit was immense fury.
In the afternoon, Danaâs emergency operation was completed, and she was now in the observation stage. Whether or not she could stay alive depended on how she fought against the grim reaper. The Winston Family had transferred her away and were planning to send her to some hospital abroad for better treatments.
However, Lucy still remained unconscious. She slept in the ICU with oxygen supplied directly to her, yet her heartbeat was quite slow.
Even though she had also sustained some serious injuries, they were considered lighter than Danaâs.
The probability of her waking up was actually higher than Dana.
Dana was unwilling to die, so she had been fighting against it. She gritted her teeth and held onto her final breath without relinquishing it. Lucy, however, seemed to not want to wake up.
Since the person she loved dearly had already left her, she would be alone and helpless in this whole wide world.
It had been a tiring life for her. She had always been looking for ways to free herself, so she had been trying her best to fight back and strengthen herself. However, all the efforts she had made were futile.
Hence, it was better to just give up.
Death was probably the only way for her to be free.
In the blink of an eye, Lucy was already in a coma for two days, and Dana had also been sent abroad.
The Winston Family didnât elaborate on Danaâs condition after that, but they would definitely forbid Dana and Lucy to contact each other again.
Sophia secretly asked Sarah about it, but she looked quite conflicted as she replied, âJust think of her as if sheâs dead.â
Since Sarahâs reply was such, Sophia didnât continue to ask her.
Lucy was secretly placed in a private hospital that was under Michaelâs name. Sam visited her everyday and chatted with her even though she was unconscious.
No one from the Edwards Family came. They probably did not know that Lucy was here as Michael had deliberately covered up the news.
They had already discussed with Sam to send her abroad after she woke up.
If she still couldnât wake up, they could only prepare her funeral.
Lucyâs sexual orientation was now known by the entire Edwards Family. Apart from that, someone even posted it online and spreaded it all over Bayside City.
Of course, the culprit did this deliberately. They couldnât wait for Lucyâs scandal to be known by everyone. With that, the Edwards Family would definitely chase her away.
The netizens had different opinions on Lucyâs case.
One party said that there was no crime in loving someone and that lesbians should not be discriminated against.
The other party condemned Lucy simply because she kept changing boyfriends even though she was a lesbian. One of her boyfriends was the Oscar-winning actor, Taylor Murray. In their eyes, she had lied to them. When gay men cheated other women into marriage, everyone bashed on them. Hence, there was no reason to let lesbians off the hook as well.
After a few of Lucyâs ex-fiancé found out about this, they were repulsed by it too.
Regardless of the reactions online, the Edwards Family felt the immense disgrace. For prestigious families that had been inherited by generations after generations for a few centuries, their internal workings were very conservative. Dana, from the Winston Family, was already the laughing stock of all the other families. Since Stanley, from the Fletcher Family, started âdatingâ Christine, the entire family rejoiced in this fact as they were worried that their reputation would be ruined once Stanley really hooked up with Sean.
Under the pressure, the Edwards Group publicly removed Lucyâs position in their family business and stripped her of all duties. They were anxious to steer clear from her, thinking that with her around, their reputation would be ruined.
There were rumors about the Yard twins entering the Edwards Group as legitimate successors, taking over all of Lucyâs responsibilities.
The previous 9th Old Master Edwards, Sam, supported Lucy publicly. Unfortunately, he had left the Edwards Family, so his words no longer bore weight.
While the outside world was in chaos, Lucy stayed in the hospital without waking up.
It had been 5 days, yet Lucy still showed no signs of waking up. It was as if she had been deserted here. Only Sam, her 9th uncle, and Michael, her ex-boyfriend who brought his wife along, visited her.
Her previous family members and friends had never appeared.
The longer she was unconscious, the more unlikely she would be able to wake up.
âSigh!â
Sophia came here to visit Lucy again. However, the latter was still deeply unconscious with her eyes closed shut without even moving her eyeballs. On the other hand, there was no news from Dana because the Winston Family had kept her matters top secret.
While Sophia sighed as she looked at Lucy, Sarah sighed next to her as well.
Sophia treats her husbandâs ex-girlfriend so well, even though this is the Edwards Familyâs affairs.
Sheâs just too kind, Sarah thought.
Sophia knew very well that this was not related to her, but she still felt very concerned for Lucy simply because they were friends.
For the past few days, she had also gotten some news from Callum.
Jordan had asked a few men to âserveâ Lucy, but after all, she was his only daughter, so he didnât want them to hurt her.
However, unexpectedly, after he left, someone put a potent aphrodisiac in the room, making all the men go berserk. They carried on until the people from the Winston Family reached the house and killed all of them.
Once she thought of this, tears welled up in Sophiaâs eyes.
If only we had drunk a bit longer, or if I had invited her to visit other placesâ¦
As for who was the culprit, Callum gave Sophia a name list full of the Edwards Family members. He couldnât wait for Sophia to take a gun and charge into the Edwards Residence to kill all of them to take revenge for Lucy. They would be really glad to see that and witness Sophia get killed by the Edwards Family.
Suddenly, Cooper and Linus arrived too. After Cooper heard that his son-in-lawâs ex-girlfriend was unconscious in the hospital after getting into some troubles, they thought it would be better to pay her a visit, even though the logic was slightly weird.
âDad!â Sophia stood up after wiping her tears off.
Cooper sat down beside her and nodded before looking at the unconscious Lucy.
When he saw her, he seemed to see himself from 30 years ago.
A long time ago, he also saw his beloved die in front of him, and he also wanted to fall into a deep sleep forever.
Cooper sat by the bed for a while before he suddenly moved forward and crouched by Lucyâs ears to speak to her.
With that, he got up and left quietly.
However, Lucyâs peaceful heartbeat suddenly quickened like the strong beats of a war drum. With the increase in her heart rate, she quietly opened her eyes.
