Chapter 1008 At a hospital.
Waverly was in the emergency room, and doctors that attended to her were helpless, i The needle was inside her vein, and if they were not careful, Waverly could die of massive blood loss. 1 The solution Waverly came up with before she fainted was temporary anesthesia. This was achieved by injecting enough local aesthetics around the painful area.
She had three injections on her stomach with that.
Fredrick and Max accompanied her, pitying her as they felt utter rage toward Charmine.
Max watched as she was still unconscious with her complexion extremely pale. He stood up in anger. 'TH find Charmine right now. I'll make her endure a hundred times more pain than Waverlyâs feeling!"
"Alright, sit down." Fredrick scoffed. He glared at Max. "Since when have you become so impatient? Since when has the D'Cruz family become so short-tempered?"
Fredrick did not sound pleased.
Max frowned. "My sister is being bullied. How can we stay quiet? Do you want to let Charmine bully Waverly?" 1 "What can you do? Do you think causing more trouble is ideal? Have you thought of the outcomes? Do you think going against them is good for our family? Do you think the Baileys are that scared of us?" berated Fredrick sternly.
Max halted; his father was never that angry for a long while.
He had to calm down.
Coincidentally, Waverly, who laid still in bed, weakly opened her eyes.
"Brother... Father is right. This time...l troubled our family greatly..."
Her voice was so gentle and harmless as if she would faint anytime. 1 Max quickly sat beside her and held her hand. 'Waverly, Father didnât mean that. He didn't blame you. Now, the situation has become more complicated. We have to think it through. You take care of your body while I'll help you fix the situation."
Waverly frowned. "The situation became more complicated, you say...? What happened? Was Anthony not angry looking at the photos...?"
"Sigh..." Fredrick sighed deeply. He did not have the heart to break her heart, but he also knew that there was no way of hiding this. The world would know about it in no time.
He had no choice but to say, "Steel yourself, Waverly. Anthony is... He's marrying Charmine. He's gotten the support from his entire family."
"What...?"
Waverlyâs face was already pale, and it only turned paler afterward. 1 She thought Anthony would break up with Charmine. Who would have thought that he wanted to marry Charmine instead? Was he crazy?
Fredrick continued, "I know you're angry and sad. Please stay calm. Iâve spoken to the Baileys, but they're not afraid to make an enemy out of this. They might become a threat to us. Anthony has all of the evidence against you, from how you agreed to be a decoy to how you fought against Charmine. He has it all. The D'Cruz family's reputation will be at stake if the evidence is shown to the public. This, of course, won't be good for you as well." 1 Waverly's hands inside the blanket tightened.
Had the situation come to this?
It went so well, and she suddenly losing?
No! No way!
She met Fredrick's eyes. "Father is right. This is my personal issue, and I can't drag the D'Cruz family down. Now that I'm the heiress of the family, I can't bring shame. Once the Baileys announce the wedding, I'll confess and leave..."
"Waverly, what about your revenge?" Fredrick asked, sounding concerned.
Waverly smiled weakly. "I'm fine. We'll speak about this later on, there's no hurry..."
After all...
Haha!
Waverly believed Anthony would never get to marry Charmine publicly! 1 Not with her around!
