Chapter 1647

Devyn clenched her teeth and retorted, “How dare you blame me? This has nothing to do with me!”

Karson glared at her.

“Everyone online knows what you did.

You ruined your reputation and copied Stella’s work.

It’s disgraceful.

Mom was so upset that she passed out!”

Devyn was shocked.

She asked in disbelief, “Did she know about it?”

Devyn had hoped her mother wouldn’t find out.

Maureen had always wanted Devyn to be honest.

How heartbroken would she be to learn of this?

Karson nodded and responded, “What else did you expect?”

Devyn was enraged.

After a moment, she calmed down and said, “You know she’s not well; why did you let her see the news?”

Karson’s expression shifted slightly.

“How was I to know you would do something like that? Someone called to say you had won a prize.

I thought sharing good news would be beneficial for Mom.

How could I anticipate this?”

Devyn no longer wanted to argue.

She pushed past him and hurried to the hospital.

As she got to the hospital, Maureen was taken to the operating room.

Devyn stopped a doctor who was about to enter the room and asked urgently, “Doctor, how is my mother?”

The doctor looked at her and said frankly, “Her condition is serious this time.

You should prepare yourself.

”

Devyn couldn’t come to terms with this.

She muttered numbly, “Prepare for what? Doctor, you must be joking.

My mother will get better.

”

The doctor expressed sympathy but said nothing more and entered the operating room.

The operating light turned on.

As the door closed, Devyn stood frozen.

Tears began to stream down her face, and she slowly slid down against the wall, collapsing to the floor.

Devyn tried to reassure herself that Maureen would be okay.

She was determined to do whatever it took to save her mother.

She had never let herself down before, and she wouldn’t start now!

Realizing that her actions might have worsened Maureen’s condition, she felt overwhelmed with guilt.

Maureen had taught her well.

She always reminded Devyn to be honest and kind and not to hurt others.

Devyn had always followed her advice, but this time she had made a terrible mistake.

Devyn hoped for a second chance.

She couldn’t bear the thought of losing her mother now.
