The Heiress Strikes Back

“We’re all business partners. It’s only right for us to help each other.” Tommy did not say anything else and turned to look at Jenna, who was standing at the side and chatting with Hayley. He did not expect Jenna to be here.

“Mr. Harris, Sullivan also wants to cooperate with the Heath Corporation. I’ll go over and talk to them first.” Tommy said and walked towards Hayley and Jenna.

After Tommy left, she looked at the time. It was already past 10:30 a.m., but June and Xenon weren’t here yet. It made her a little worried.

Hence, she quietly asked why their parents were not here yet.

“Maybe there’s a traffic jam on the way?” Wallace also glanced at his watch. He and his wife had come very early because they had to prepare the place. Before they left, their family had agreed to attend the ceremony at ten.

However, after so long, he still hadn’t seen his parents. He felt a little strange. Just as he was wondering what had happened, his phone rang.

It was from his mother, June. As soon as he picked up the call, and before he could say anything, June’s anxious voice came from the other end of the phone. “Wallace! We got into a car accident on the way here. Your father is seriously injured and is being resuscitated in the First Hospital. Come over quickly! Your father seems to be...”

“How is that possible?” Wallace was in disbelief and quickly asked, “How’s Dad’s injury? I’ll go over now!”

Looking at her husband’s expression, she knew that something big had happened.

June’s voice trembled as she said with a sobbing tone, “The First Hospital, your father is unconscious now. His entire body is covered in blood. You, come quickly, come quickly!”

Wallace really didn’t expect to face such sudden bad news just after they were celebrating the opening just now.

After all, he was his father, so he was still anxious. “Okay, I’ll go over with Sharon immediately.”

Wallace quickly instructed the guests, “I’m sorry, everyone. Please take a seat for a bit. My wife and I are going out for a while.”

Although they knew that it was very rude to do this, it was too important, so they had no choice. In addition, everyone present was Sharon’s friends, so they had no objections to her actions.

Hence, the two of them brought Director Lincoln back to the hospital and went straight to the ICU.

Pushing open the door, Wallace and his wife saw Xenon lying on the hospital bed with his eyes closed. He was unconscious, and June was sitting in front of the hospital bed, covered in blood. There were also some wounds on her hands and face, but she had no time to care about them now. Instead, her face was pale and she looked dejected.

Wallace’s face was a little pale, and his tone was a little anxious. “Mom, how’s Dad now?”

Tears fell from June’s eyes as she said, “We saw a big car on the way there. Unexpectedly, it ran through a red light and hit our car and I fainted. When I woke up, your father, your father...”

It seemed as if he couldn’t get any useful information from her, so Wallace could only ask the doctor, “Hello, how’s my father?”

“Mr. Harris, don’t worry. His life isn’t in danger for the time being, but...” The doctor’s tone carried a hint of worry, making Wallace and Sharon, who originally thought that there was no big problem, instantly nervous again.

“The patient injured his spine and head. It’s still a question if he can wake up.”

He couldn’t wake up? Was he going to be in a vegetative state?

When June heard this, she felt her vision go dark and her head spin. If it weren’t for Sharon who quickly held onto her, she would have fallen to the ground.

At the thought that her husband was going to become a vegetable, June felt worse than death.

“Retribution... This is all retribution! But we didn’t do that at all. If there was going to be retribution, it shouldn’t have come to us!” June said heartbreakingly.

Wallace didn’t know what she was talking about and hurriedly asked the doctor, “Is there any way to wake him up quickly?”

The doctor sighed lightly and said, “It’s very difficult. The patient’s spine and cerebellum are injured. He’s either paraplegic or in a vegetative state. These two are not good. Therefore, I hope that the family members will be mentally prepared as soon as possible...”

Hearing this, Sharon’s eyes turned red unconsciously, but she still forced herself to speak. “Mom, do you want to go for a checkup and see if there’s anything wrong with your body?”
