Chapter 314

Kenny’s face turned ashen; Peter pressed his lips tightly together. Sadie’s accident dealt a devastating blow to the Williams family, worsening their already dire situation. Skylar’s gaze was cold. In her past life, the Williamses hadn’t cared when she’d come back from the brink of death. They’d even joked by her hospital bed, with Sadie smugly believing she was lucky. Yet now, they all appeared shocked and worried. Sadie might have lost her legs, but at least she wasn’t paralyzed from the waist down. Indeed, she was fortunate.

The family stood in stunned silence. After a while, a doctor reminded them to go home and rest, assuring them the hospital would call with updates and arrange care shifts. Only then did they snap out of their daze.

“How could this be?” Jeffrey murmured, baffled. What had the Williams family done to deserve this? Why were they constantly plagued by misfortunes?

Skylar watched their panic with detachment. This should have happened in her previous life, but she had been too foolish then.

“Now that the surgery is over, I’ll be leaving,” Skylar said, glancing at the time. It was already 11:00 p.m. Her flight was at 10:00 a.m., so she needed to be at the airport by 8:00 a.m. tomorrow. Skylar had no time for their melodrama.

“Wait! Sadie is in this condition, and you’re still leaving?” Jeffrey incredulously called out, protesting her coldness.

Kenny frowned, noting the lack of concern on Skylar’s face. “You weren’t like this before,” he said solemnly.

“You’ll get what’s coming to you!” Samuel fumed.

They were all heartbroken, while Skylar seemed completely indifferent to Sadie’s plight. Skylar laughed at their shameless accusations. “The doctor told us to leave. If you want to stay, that’s your choice. I have no obligation to care for Mrs. Williams. If you’re so devoted to your wife or dutiful to your mother, go and figure out how to care for a bedridden patient. Don’t try to guilt-trip me now. Where was this concern before?”

Skylar knew their selfish nature all too well. They might care for Sadie for a few days, but soon enough, they’d see her as a burden.

“You! That’s your mother! Can you really walk away without any guilt? You have to move back home and take care of Sadie!”

“We’re all busy, and Maisy’s health isn’t good enough for such tasks. You’re the only one with time,” Jeffrey commanded, without a second thought.

Skylar was stunned by Jeffrey’s audacity. “Are you insane?” she asked. Who gave him such brazen entitlement?

Maisy, silent until now, hoped Skylar would agree to return home. She didn’t want the responsibility of caring for their bedridden mother.

“Skylar! Dad’s giving you a chance to prove yourself. If you take good care of Mom, we’ll accept you as part of the family,” Samuel insisted angrily.

Kenny frowned. “Skye, come home.”

Peter added sternly, “You’re still part of our family, Skylar. Take this opportunity to return and mend things.”

“Skylar, after what Mom’s been through, she’ll be heartbroken when she wakes up. If you stay by her side, you’ll become important to her,” Maisy urged.

Skylar was truly astounded by their shamelessness. They made their demands with such righteousness.

Chapter 315 (Assuming this is the intended chapter number)

“You all need your heads checked. While you’re here, why not see a doctor? Stop barking orders and acting crazy.”

With that, Skylar walked away decisively. She needed a good night’s rest before her flight the next day.
