Chapter 438
The Heiress Strikes Back
438 Treating the Burns
âI... Donât mind me just now.â Sharonâs voice was gentle like a stream flowing past Hayleyâs ear. Looking at her, Sharon actually felt like crying.
âItâs nothing. My family advised me the same way, but I really couldnât help it. I donât know what to do now that Iâve become like this.â
âDo you want to rest? I think you seem to be in pain.â
Hayley shook her head. âIâve been staying here since I was burned. Apart from resting, I canât do anything else.â
Sharon looked at the other partyâs helpless gaze and felt terrible. She was also a doctor, but she didnât know what she could do for Hayley.
âActually, I really want to go out too, but if someone takes a photo of me, the media will definitely publicize it. At that time, I might really not have the courage to live.â
Worried about the media? Sharon looked at Hayley. âYou are in?â
Hayley smiled. âYou probably donât know me. Iâm from Washington. My family was worried that the incident would affect the stock price, so they sent me to New York.â
She said it very casually, but Sharon could hear the helplessness in her tone.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âBang-â Sharon was shocked by the barbaric way the door was opened. Who exactly opened the door with such force?
âYo, I didnât expect someone like you to have someone to talk to. Hey, arenât you afraid of looking at her face? If I take a look, Iâll have nightmares for a few nights. Itâs so disgusting.â
Originally, after crying for a while and chatting with Sharon, the sadness in Hayleyâs heart had been vented a little. She didnât expect the woman who came in to mock her.
Sharon looked at the man and woman who came in and didnât know what to say.
âWhat are you doing here?â Hayleyâs voice suddenly became low.
âHayley... You know why Iâm here. Actually, I donât want to make things difficult for you, but the marriage between our families has been decided. Now that youâve become like this...â The manâs name was Jonas, Hayleyâs fiancé.
âWhy are you wasting your breath on an ugly girl like her?â Holland held Jonasâs arm intimately and spoke as if she was declaring her sovereignty.
âCancel the engagement with Brother Jonas immediately and transfer the shares in your hands to me as a wedding gift. Itâs not that I want to criticize you, but youâre representing the Heath family now. Your parents are no longer around, so thereâs no need for you to hold on, right?â
âYou, the two of you...â Hayley was in disbelief. âYou said that you only love me. No matter what I become, you wonât abandon me!â Hayley wanted to stand up, but her body had yet to recover. Her agitated emotions caused her body to look as if it was on the verge of collapse. Sharon quickly went forward to support her.
âTo tell you the truth, the two of us have been together for a long time, ever since you came back from a business trip in Finland. If not for your shares, Brother Jonas would have been with you and me long ago. Not only that, during the time you were burned, I got pregnant.â
Holland looked at Hayley arrogantly, then looked up at Sharon. âHey! Are you her friend? Hurry up and persuade her to hand over the shares! She should stop struggling. If Iâm in a good mood, I can find a sanatorium for her to live the rest of her life in. If she makes me unhappy, there wonât be a place for her in the Heath family in the future.â
âThatâs right, Hayley. Just hand over the shares to me and cancel the engagement with me. For the Heath familyâs hundred years of foundation, you canât be so selfish, right?â Jonas also tried persuading her, but he didnât dare to look up at Hayleyâs face.
âJonas, look up at me. This is the first time youâve come to see me since I was injured.â Hayley still could not believe that the man she believed so much would do this to her. There was a hint of longing in her voice. âDidnât you say that my body and my face are very good-looking?â
âBut youâre disfigured now and there are burns on your body. The doctor also said that the area of your burns is 30%, and the wounds are very deep. Itâs very difficult to recover.â Jonasâ words were like a sharp blade that stabbed Hayley ruthlessly. Her face instantly turned pale and she was speechless.
âEnough!â Sharon looked at the couple who had gotten their way and felt an indescribable disgust. She stood in front of Hayley.
âGet out! Youâre not welcome here! Iâm thinking of a way to treat the burns on this ladyâs body. She will look as good as before, when the time comes, just remember not to beg her.â
