A Moment in Destiny

Chapter 385 Phoney Mercy

Leila stood for a long time. She was almost sunburnt but she still felt cold.

She went back to the ward again and her mother was sitting alone in front of the sickbed. The heart monitor and the ventilator were both working. Brian was lying quietly on the bed with his lips a little crooked. Leila looked at him, who was sleeping and seemed to have been in a coma.

Then, Leila saw her mother staring blankly and there were tears in the corners of her eyes. It seemed that she had aged too much in one night.

As soon as Mabel turned around and saw Leila, she looked at her in a daze and said gently after a long time, “Leila, why did Vincent do this to you?”

It turned out that her mother had already known about it. Leila’s heart ached, and she became speechless with a cry.

“How could your father withstand this blow! He’s always been so strong, so determined. How can he bear to live with it?” Mabel whispered.

“Mum ...” Leila was even more upset.

“Leila, Vincent has let Mum down too much!” Mabel said again.

Leila lowered her head, and her tears were almost falling down.

Someone suddenly came to the ward at that moment. Mabel regained her emotional composure as she stood up and walked to the door. Leila heard she shouted, “Secretary Newman, you don’t have to come if you’re too busy as Brian’s life is no longer in danger!”

Then, dozens of municipal party committee leaders walked in, the atmosphere was solemn and serious.

Secretary Newman even said in a deep voice, “Mrs. Hunter, Brian is a good leader, and he cared much about his people. We are deeply saddened by his illness. On behalf of the municipal party committee and government, I have come to see him and hope that he will recover soon and return to work!”

Leila bowed her head, and suddenly she felt like a sinner. She hadn’t been able to get the video back and everything seemed to be her fault. Her heart overflowed with bitterness and her head hung down low. She was in the corner and heard her mother say, “Thank you for your concern!”

Later, Secretary Newman and his party didn’t stay much longer. They just told her mum to take care of her dad, then looked at her again and left. Eventually, Director Gordon, Julian Gordon’s father, saw Leila. He gave her a very thoughtful glance and said, “Leila, take care of your father!”

Leila nodded her head and sent them away.

She ran outside to answer a strange phone call, and a plain voice came from the other end. “Leila, are you okay?”

Leila was slightly stunned and asked back indifferently, “What do you think?”

“Actually, I’m a victim too!” Charles’s voice seemed to leak a hint of grievance. “That is my body and your sister’s after all!”
