Lucindaâs eyes flashed with warning as she spoke firmly.
Presley was taken aback by Lucindaâs fierce gaze.
She was dazed for a few seconds before struggling fiercely, attempting to break free.
But Lucinda was too strong for her to overpower.
So, Presley yelled angrily, âYou canât scare me off!
Youâve taken my daughter away and wonât even let me see her.
If anything happens to her, I wonât let you off the hook! I have to see her today!â
Presley tried with all her might to free herself, but to no avail.
âLet me go in! Let me see her!â she cried out.
âFine, you can go in.
But if anything should happen to her because you interrupted the operation, itâs on you.
â
Lucinda released her grip on Presley and crossed her arms over her chest, glaring at her coldly.
Presley stumbled backward a couple of steps before regaining her balance and gaped at Lucinda in disbelief.
âHow could you have Jennifer undergo surgery without my permission?â
Lucinda looked at Presley and said reassuringly, âThe doctor performing the surgery is Hilliard Simmons.
Heâs a renowned medical expert who has won numerous international awards and is the top surgeon.
He has never failed in any of the surgeries he took in charge, big or small.
You must have heard of him.
If you rush in now and interrupt the operation, youâll be putting Jenniferâs life at risk.
â
Presley, who was already at the door, paused.
Before now, she and Mario had wanted to hire Hilliard to treat Jennifer, but he was too famous and unapproachable for a Little wealthy family like theirs.
How could Lucinda have made him come to Forden himself?!

Could she trust this woman?
Presley was standing in front of the door.
All she had to do was open it and she would see her beloved daughter.
She battled within herself for a long time.
Eventually, she withdrew her hand.
âLucinda, Iâll trust you one last time, but if anything should happen to Jennifer, Iâll make sure you pay for it.
â She then left the villa with no other choice.
Lucinda and Cyrus exchanged glances and breathed a sigh of relief before going into the operating room.
The sun was just starting to peek over the horizon.
Presley sat in the car, feeling exhausted, and closed her eyes.
âMadam, where are we going?â the driver asked hesitantly.
