Victor, worried about David, called Winston that night to make sure that Winston and Alyssa were at home. The following day, he went to the Taylorsâ residence at Belbanks with Jameson.
Upon arrival, he immediately wailed without a care for his image, âOh, Winston! You have to save our poor David!â
Winston and Mandy welcomed him at the door. Winston secretly chuckled at Victorâs disheveled look.
After a lifetime of competition between them, Victor had finally given up.
âWhatâs wrong, Victor?â Mandy was surprised to see Victor in such distress.
Victor, rushing toward them, accidentally tripped on a rock. He fell to his knees in front of the couple, grimacing from the pain in his hand. Winston and Mandy were left speechless by the unexpected scene.
Suppressing a snicker, Jameson helped Victor up. Then, he asked, âDad, are you hurt anywhere?â
Victor truly loved David. Without even worrying about his appearance, he grabbed Winston and explained, âWinston, David got into a serious car accident a few days ago!â
Winston and Mandy exclaimed, âWhat happened?â
Jameson chimed in with a look of pity. âA speeding lorry crashed into Davidâs car on that rainy night because of the poor visibility. Davidâs legs were crushed by the lorry, and he suffers from a comminuted fracture. The doctor said both legs might have to be amputated.â
Winston was taken aback. âWhat? Amputation?â
Eyes gleaming with hope, Victor pleaded, âYou watched my kid grow up. You wouldnât want him to be crippled, right? Jimmy mentioned Lyse is the talented surgeon âDr. White.â Can we get her to treat Davidâs legs?â
Alyssa emerged from the villa at that moment. âUncle Victor.â
She looked dazzling under the morning light. She seemed to have just woken up, as she looked a bit drowsy. Her hair was wet, and her bare, rosy face looked adorable.
Jameson gazed at her tenderly and swallowed hard. He couldnât move his eyes away from her. He had fallen for an angel like her at a young age, condemning him to 15 years of longing and loneliness.
âOh, Lyse! Help me out! You must save David!â Victor implored, almost in tears, as he clutched Alyssaâs hands. canât sit back and do nothing, especially since David is your son.â
Though not well-acquainted with David, she felt compelled to help as Victor was Winstonâs old friend.
Relieved, Victor said, âThank you, Lyse!â
âUncle Victor, I have to make it clear that Iâm just an ordinary surgeon, not an omnipotent God. Iâll need to check on Davidâs injuries before I can make any promise,â Alyssa cautioned.
âLyse, thereâs hope for David as long as you are willing to help! Jimmy said you performed a successful head surgery on Jasper Beckett,â Victor said.
Alyssa replied powerlessly, âYeah. You mean a brain surgery.â
âIf you can crack open a head, fixing legs is a piece of cake for you!â Victor insisted.
She pressed her lips and met eyes with Jameson. Jameson beamed warmly at her.
She muttered, âFine. Iâll try my best.â
Alyssa returned to Solana City with Victor and Jameson in the afternoon. The Schmidts accorded her the best treatment as she was a VIP guest.
As a doctor, her sole focus was treating David, and she swiftly went to his room.
