Chapter 568
“You’ve taken good care of Jessica over the years and kept yourself in check. I’ve barely tolerated you, but now… After what happened to Harry, I truly believe this is all your fault!”
Edith launched into a harsh tirade, rebuking Lilian without mercy.
Lilian’s face turned pale. So, Edith finally spoke her mind–she looked down on Lilian!
Lilian’s blood boiled with frustration. She hated Harry, hated Edith hated everyone who had ever wronged her!
She had once loved Harry desperately, obsessed with him to the point of scheming her way into the Crone family. Yet after all these years, she had never truly belonged to the Crone family. The painful truth was, they all looked down on her.

Lilian turned her face away, tears welling up as she choked out, “I’m sorry I failed to take care of Harry. It’s all my fault. But don’t worry. No matter what happens to him, I’ll stay by his side.”
Edith snapped back, “That’s the least you can do! Jessica is the daughter of the richest man. You’re not even her real mother. Without the Crone family, you’re nothing!”
With that, Edith turned and stormed off.
As Edith walked away, Lilian slowly rose to her feet. She wiped the tears from her face with a blank expression.
She cast a cold glance at Harry, who was lying unconscious in the bed. It didn’t matter now. Harry was a vegetable, and from now on, she would be the one calling the shots.
As for Edith, that old woman… Lilian would deal with her soon enough.
The Crones would never suspect that Jessica was her real daughter. They still had no idea how she had them wrapped around her finger.
She had the Crone family in the palm of her hand!
Thinking this, Lilian let out a satisfied laugh.
Edith stepped out of the hospital room, the maid following behind her. “Madam, now that you’ve seen Mr. Harry, should we head back now?”
Edith’s anger flared. “Have they found a famous doctor to treat my son? I refuse to believe he’s going to end up a vegetable!”
The maid said softly, “Mrs. Lilian has already found a renowned doctor for Mr. Harry, but his brain injury is too severe. The doctors say…there’s a high chance he may never wake up.”
“I don’t believe it!” Edith slammed her cane on the floor, her emotions running high. “Those are quacks! They don’t know what they’re doing! They couldn’t save my son. He’s not going to become a vegetable! As long as there’s even the slightest chance, I will do whatever it takes to wake him up!”
The maid hesitated for a moment, then spoke up. “Why don’t we try asking Ms. Wendy for help?”
Edith paused, confused. “Wendy?”
The maid nodded. “Don’t you remember? She’s the wonder doctor. Dr. Ceylan. If we ask her to treat Mr. Harry, I’m sure he’ll wake up.”
Edith’s eyes lit up. She was right–there was still Wendy. She could save her son.
“But we’re on bad terms with Wendy right now. She probably won’t help us.”
“For Mr. Harry’s sake, why not go to her and ask? You can at least try.”
