Chapter 57
Yannick had just returned from a business trip when he heard his sonâs leg had been disabled. He rushed to Lagersfield right away.
As soon as he arrived at the ward in Lagersfield City Hospital, his wife, Aubrey, threw herself into his arms and bawled âYannick, you have to seek justice for our son. His legis paralyzed. He wonât be able to walk anymore.â
Aubrey was crying herself hoarse. Her tears had even smudged her makeup
âDad, you have to avenge melâ Jack yelled while lying on the bed.
âWhat happened exactly?â Yannick appeared upset.
He was well aware of his sonâs personality. It Jack hadnât offended anyone, his leg would not have been crippled.
âA transfer student in my school did it. She crippled me on the first day she transferred here. Dad, she targeted me on purpose.â Jack knew Yannick well. If he told his father about his behavior in school, his other leg would be broken as well.
âBesides, she said that she wanted to destroy me. You have to save me, or sheâll actually kill me.â
Ever since the incident, Aubrey had reached out to many renowned doctors. All of them said that his leg was irreparable.
Jack hated Lily. He wanted to make her pay.
However, he didnât expect Lily to fight so well. Over 30 bodyguards of the Dalton family were brought down by Lily. Moreover, she had said that she wanted to destroy him.
When Jack found out, he threw a fit Nevertheless, he was powerless. Even the bodyguards couldnât defeat Lily, so there was nothing he could do. He could only count on his father to avenge him.
âYannick, that transfer student is so conceited. She was able to disable our sonâs leg today. Iâm sure sheâll actually try to kill him tomorrow. You canât let her end the Dalton familyâs lineage!â
With a scowl, Yannick pushed Aubrey away and fixed his eyes on Jack. He scolded him sternly, âIâve told you countless times to quit making trouble at school, but you never listened. Do you think our family is impressive?
âThere are so many people with greater power than the Dalton family. Even though she knew who you were, she still dared to disable your leg. Itâs clear that sheâs not afraid of the Dalton family.â
Yannick looked disappointed. âYet you want me to avenge you?â
âYannick, how can you be like this? You know your sen. Heâs from a rich family, but he never hurts others. They say that Lily Brooks is just a brat from a rural area. She has no impressive background or power. Sheâs just good at fightingâ
In the middle of Aubreyâs speech, Yannick suddenly narrowed his eyes and grabbed her hand. He asked through gritted teeth, âWho did you say she is?â
âWâWhatâs the matter? Aubrey had never seen Yannick act like that. She trembled in fear,
Yannick tightened his grip, his steely face cold. âIâm asking you, whatâs the name of that transfer student?â
âLily Brooks.â Aubrey glanced at him, puzzled. She did not understand why Yannick did not care about his sonâs leg but was concerned about the transfer studentâs name.
Yannick took his phone out and pulled up a photo. âis this her?â
After a glance, Jack nodded. âItâs her.â
Yannick staggered and almost slumped to the ground.
His only thoughts were, âWeâre doomed!â
Aubrey quickly supported him. âYannick, are you okay?â
Yannick came out of his daze, slapped Jackâs face, and said in a fury, âYouâre a disgrace. Youâve ruined the Dalton family!â
Seeing that Jack was hit, Aubrey quicldy shielded him. âWhy did you hit our son? Heâs already devastated from losing his leg, You refuse to avenge him, and you even hit him. How can you even call yourself a father?â
âYou!â Yannick clutched his chest, livid. âItâs all because youâve spoiled him.â
After taking a deep breath, Yannick glared at Jack. âYou, go apologize to Lily. Right now!â
