Chapter 786: Chapter 786 Rescue_1
After the ambulance arrived, it took Dylan Sumrs, Yolanda Sumrs, and Laura Sumrs to the hospital.
Alexander Sumrs and Purple Sumrs followed to the hospital. With such a serious incident, it was impossible not to be concerned.
Nathaniel Sumrs stayed behind to assist the police with their statent recording.
Mrs. Fowler’s accusation was unfounded. She claid that Sheldon Fowler had been lured out by Yolanda Sumrs, but it had already been verified that the incoming calls from Yolanda on Sheldon’s phone were actually from a fake number set up by himself. As for the talk of a curse, that was even less credible.
Moreover, when Sheldon Fowler jumped to his death, the police had accessed the hotel’s surveillance footage and recorded statents from the two fake kidnappers. In any case, his death could not possibly be linked to the Sumrs family.
Mrs. Fowler was extrely emotional, crying and screaming at the police station, so the authorities concluded that she had committed murder due to the emotional stress of losing her son.
...
Excessive emotion leading to murder is still murder, and she was sentenced accordingly. Mrs. Fowler was arrested and imprisoned.
After leaving the police station, Nathaniel Sumrs imdiately headed to the hospital.
By then, Dylan Sumrs was still in critical care.
Though Yolanda Sumrs’s life was not in danger, she had a comminuted fracture of the lumbar spine and needed imdiate surgery, or she might face the risk of lifelong paralysis.
Alexander Sumrs made the decision, signing the surgery consent form.
Laura Sumrs, who had been behind Yolanda, did not co into direct contact with the car and only broke her arm when she fell. Her injury was considered the least serious.
After her wound was treated, she stepped out of the treatnt room and saw Alexander Sumrs and Purple Sumrs in the corridor. She hurried over and asked, “How are my father and sister doing?”
Purple Sumrs shook her head, “The doctor hasn’t co out yet.”
All three were heavy-hearted. There were chairs in the corridor, but none of them had the peace of mind to sit down.
Family is a peculiar social relationship. Normally living together, there’s often deep animosity among mbers, but when a crisis occurs, a capacity for empathy erges, binding them closely together.
Alexander Sumrs had never looked up to Dylan, considering him sly, selfish, and lacking integrity, with a particularly ugly penchant for flattery and servility.
But when Dylan actually faced trouble, Alexander’s mind involuntarily filled with mories of tis when Dylan had helped him.
In the year right after Elder Master Sumrs passed away, Mrs. Sumrs, without any reservations, was at her most overbearing, determined to drive Atra Blanc and Alexander out, even if Atra was willing to move to the small Western-style house in the garden, Mrs. Sumrs wouldn’t let Atra off, speaking particularly vicious words, even suggesting that the elder master had been hard by Atra!
Atra was unjustly accused. She was originally Elder Master Sumrs’s caregiver, and it was natural for her to attend to him around the clock. But in Mrs. Sumrs’s words, it turned into Atra seducing the elder master, who clearly was unfit, yet they locked themselves in the room day and night, up to who knows what mischief.
Back then, Alexander was only nine years old, and Purple had just turned one.
If Atra and the two children were really evicted from the Sumrs Residence, their lives would have been uncertain and miserable. It was Dylan who played the diator and persuaded Mrs. Sumrs to relent.
Of course, Dylan’s intervention wasn’t out of the genuine desire to aid Atra’s family.
He was only considering his own reputation and preserving the dignity of the Sumrs family, not wanting others to see them as callous and unrighteous, which is why he stepped forward.
But even if Dylan’s initial intention was self-serving, it didn’t change the fact that he indeed had helped Atra’s family.
Alexander Sumrs had never wished for Dylan’s death.
The three of them waited in silence in the corridor.
Nathaniel Sumrs finally arrived at the hospital. Seeing him, Laura seed to find her pillar of strength and ran forward, calling out, “Uncle Nate.”
“How are your dad and your sister?” Nathaniel asked.
Laura’s eyes were red-rimd, but she wasn’t crying. She shook her head and said, “I don’t know, they’re still inside.”
Nathaniel glanced at Alexander and Purple standing aside, then sat down silently, joining them in awaiting the outco.
