Chapter 24
Skyler had received a significant piece of news from a trusted source.
Caroline, who was deemed to be in a vegetative state by doctors, had regained consciousness briefly after several acupuncture sessions by the genius doctor, Wynn Even though she was only awake for less than a minute, as long as she had woken up the first time, she would surely wake up again.
Moreover, during Caroline’s brief awakening, she uttered a sentence, “Don’t hurt Willow.”
Therefore, despite Xavier’s deep hatred for Willow, being the doting husband he was, he complied with Caroline’s words and refrained from sending Willow back to prison
The realization that Caroline might wake up again and expose the truth had Skyler feeling
g like a cat on a hot tin roof. She was so stressed that her hair started falling out.
She knew she had to do something.
Xavier hovered by Caroline’s bedside almost constantly, leaving Skyler no opportunity to act.
However, a major event was happening at Dawson Residence today, which Xavier had to attend. This presented Skyler with the perfect chance to strike.
She felt that even God was on her side. When she arrived, the two caregivers who usually took care of Caroline were absent from the ward, much to Skyler’s pleasant surprise.
The doctor had emphasized the importance of protecting the oxygen mask on Caroline’s face. If it were removed, she would undoubtedly die.
Skyler swiftly approached Caroline’s bedside. If she removed the oxygen mask, Caroline would die, and those dark secrets could be buried forever.
As she reached out and was about to pull off Caroline’s oxygen mask, she noticed something peculiar. There were many surveillance cameras in the ward with glowing red dots.
Skyler grabbed Caroline’s hand, pretending to wipe her eyes a few times. “Mom, please wake up. If anything happens to you, I’ll never forgive myself. Mom, please wake up, okay?”
As Skyler spoke, she distinctly felt Caroline’s fingers twitch. She was alarmed but relieved to see that Caroline didn’t actually open her eyes.
She knew Caroline’s awakening was imminent. She had to quickly devise a plan to ensure Caroline would never wake up again.
She knew how desperate Willow was for money. She would do anything for money. As long as Skyler promised willow a large sum, Willow, in her desperation to save Aaron, would have no other choice.
