Under the Heiress' Facade novel Chapter 333

"Move aside. If anything happens to Mary, that girl from the Everett family won't get away with it! I'll pursue criminal charges against her," Jane said sternly. She perfectly embodied the image of a devoted daughter-in-law of the Ludden family.

Upon hearing that, Christopher froze. However, he still blocked the door with his body and refused to move.

"Get him out of here!" Ralph ordered the butler.

"Sorry, Mr. Christopher, but I have to do this," the butler said as he signaled two bodyguards to drag Christopher away.

At that moment, Andrew suddenly raised his hand to halt them. "Step aside."

Christopher was overjoyed, believing that Andrew was on his side. He thought that if Andrew also trusted Hera, then Mary could hold on until tomorrow to take the medicine.

Ralph furrowed his brows.

Seeing this, Jane asked fearlessly, "Andrew, are you going to interfere too?"

Andrew did believe in Hera, but in such a situation, mere belief wasn't enough.

"I said, step aside. Didn't you hear me?" he said to Christopher.

"Dad?" Christopher was puzzled.

With a serious look, Andrew forcibly pulled him aside.

Just as Christopher was about to protest, he heard Andrew whisper, "Go bring Hera here."

Christopher was momentarily stunned before he finally grasped Andrew's intent.

If Christopher were to be dragged away by the bodyguards, he would have certainly been kept under watch. However, with Andrew intervening, he wouldn't end up detained.

Christopher nodded and took the opportunity to slip away while everyone wasn't paying attention.

Meanwhile, Zaid entered the room to examine Mary. After a while, he shook his head. "It's too late. The fluid has compressed the blood vessels for too long. Many cells in her legs have necrosed, and the only option left is amputation.

"But Mrs. Ludden Senior is too old, and the surgery carries high risks. I suggest bringing Dr. Shadow back to see if there are any other options."

"Hera is on her way," Andrew said.

"Mary's condition has gotten this bad because of her, and you still trust her? Will you only accept reality when Mary draws her last breath?" Jane questioned harshly.

"I offer all the Ludden family's shares I hold as a guarantee and ask you to grant Hera one more chance. If it doesn't work, my family and I will voluntarily leave the Ludden residence with nothing," Andrew stated solemnly.

Alice was startled and tugged at his sleeve. She liked Hera, but offering such a huge guarantee for her was too much.

Jane had been waiting for this moment. There was a bit of excitement in her heart, but she didn't forget to keep up her facade.

"Do you take Mary's life as a joke?" she questioned.

Ralph was equally puzzled. Andrew was always deliberate in his actions. He couldn't fathom what sort of person could prompt Andrew to wager Mary's life like this. At the same time, he was aware of Mary's current dangerous condition.

Zaid had a high reputation in the medical community. His diagnosis was almost always accurate. Sending Mary to the hospital now meant they would wait for Camille to come back and treat her, or perhaps they needed to find a more capable miracle doctor.
