Chapter 254 Severe Injury

During this time, Verde City was abuzz with discussions surrounding the Johnson family.

And today, a major event took place.

The Johnson family’s son was arrested.

It was said that he was the mastermind behind the construction incident in the eastern suburbs, which

resulted in loss of life.

His motive was believed to be revenge against his ex–wife, Natalie. With Natalie’s death, he couldn’t

escape legal consequences!

Despite the speculations and anticipated outcomes in the public eye, the moment it happened was still

shocking

Elizabeth was hospitalized after this heavy blow, and all company responsibilities fell on Rebecca’s

shoulders.

The entire Verde City and the Johnson family fell into chaos.

Meanwhile, Natalie sat on the bed in Red Wine Estate. A nurse was changing her bandages.

Jason didn’t come to treat her today. Natalie sweated profusely from the pain, and her forehead creased.

“Does it hurt?” The nurse asked, looking at Natalie, who had already bitten down on a tourniquet.

Natalie nodded, it truly hurt

While she had a high pain tolerance, the injuries were extensive. To prevent infection, her wounds were still being treated daily. It was a process that took a considerable amount of time.

Throughout, she had to endure this painful ordeal.

*I’ll be more gentle,” the nurse whispered.

Her touch was lighter. If Jason were handling the procedure, Natalie would experience more pain.

The maid attending to Natalie opened the curtains, allowing sunlight to stream in. The sudden brightness was a bit dazzling, prompting Natalie to shield her eyes instinctively.

Since the big fire, Natalie’s eyes had suffered some damage. The doctor advised her not to use electronic

devices for the next six months.

Disobeying this advice would result in a lifetime of Impaired vision. Natalie had learned her lesson in her previous life, so she cherished her eyes greatly.

Lydia Wright, the maid beside Natalie on the bed, scolded, “Xyla, be more careful. Ms. Natalie’s eyes can’t
