Chapter 674 Never Forgive You
Shannon looked out the window and stared at the falling snow. Her lips curled into a sad but beautiful smile.
Forgive? How am I supposed to forgive him after going through all that pain? The heartbreaking pain I've gone
through was real, and it will never dissipate no matter how much time has passed.
She had once loved and hated him to the core. Forgiving him now would be no easy task.
Shannon stayed quiet for a moment and slowly closed her eyes. Then, enunciating each word, she said, “I will never
forgive you. My arm is crippled, and I've lost my child. You're no saint either, so there's no way you can turn back
time. Forgiveness is nothing but a luxury for both of us, so don't be too naïve thinking that we'll have a future
together. To some, once they've lost something, it's forever. You'll have to endure it no matter how painful it is. That
is what fate bestowed upon you. I've already gone through whatever you're living through right now. That's why
God is fair.”
Micah stared at her silently.
She was standing so close to him. Yet, it felt like she was out of his reach.
Does she still refuse to forgive me? Fate has given us so much pain. We should be holding each other and helping
one another. We might not ever recover from it by tending to our wounds ourselves. Why should we suffer by living
in pride for the rest of our lives?
Micah did not believe she could let him go so quickly when she had loved him so much in the past. He thought that
Shannon still loved him but had been hurt so much that she merely closed off her heart, not allowing him to enter.
“Do you have to be so resolute? I—”
Without waiting for him to finish, Shannon waved her hand and interrupted, “If you're only going to say things like
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthis, I advise you to stop. I don't want to listen to it, nor is there a need for me to. Since it has come to this, we can
part ways now and never cross paths again. This might be the best option for both of us. I'll head in first if you have
nothing else to say. The medical base is the Lewitt family's business now and has nothing to do with you, so you
don't have to stay here any longer.”
With that, she turned to leave. However, she had only taken a step when Micah grabbed her arm.
To be more precise, he grabbed her sleeve.
Micah was feeling desperate and had grabbed her lost arm, so there was nothing there besides the sleeve.
Shannon stared coldly at him. Her red lips curled up into a sneer as she said, “Mr. Neyman, are you picking on me
for not having an arm and not being able to break free from you? Is that why you're acting so unscrupulous? Don't
forget you're the one who cut off my arm. Are you trying to pour salt into my wound and remind me how miserable
I was then?”
The color drained out of Micah's face.
He felt as though he had shattered into pieces when he heard her words. He couldn't even retaliate.
His lips trembled as he answered with a choked voice, “I've already caught Yvette and found witnesses and
evidence that can prove your innocence. Come with me to Tarragon's headquarters in a few days. I'll clear your
name and ensure justice is served for you. I'll make sure you witness the one who set you up get punished. This is
what I promised you and what I've been doing all this time.”
Shannon pursed her lips.
Should I agree to return to the headquarters with him? Duh! Even if I don't get revenge for my lost arm, I have to
do it for my dead child.
Making Yvette suffer was all she could think of.
The scene of Eugene being sent flying away appeared in her mind, and her eyes soon welled up with tears.
“All right. I'll head back to the headquarters with you. My child died a miserable death. I have to make sure that evil
woman is destroyed.”
In the emergency room, Bailey had thought she was strong enough to face Edmund's unsightly condition since she
had witnessed countless deaths.
Nonetheless, she was still shocked to see how bad his leg was as she stood before the operating table.
The scene of Eugene dying from the cut she made appeared in her mind, and she felt a sudden urge to quit.
Bailey was traumatized.
Her trauma haunted her, especially after seeing how bad Edmund was. She was worried a life so important to her
would be lost because of a mistake she made.
“Don't be afraid. I'll go through this with you.”
A familiar voice sounded near her ear, and her hand holding the scalpel started shaking violently.
Bailey turned her head and was surprised to see Artemis standing before her and staring at her with gentle eyes.
“I—”
“Everything is okay. Don't be afraid. You being unable to save his leg isn't the worst-case scenario. There isn't
anyone who can save his leg currently, and you're giving him a chance to live by trying. Just do your best. He'll be
able to stand again if you succeed, and you'll have one less thing to feel guilty about in the future. Isn't that right?”
Bailey squeezed her eyes shut.
That's right. Even Justin concluded that his leg couldn't be saved and suggested we amputate it. Is there anything
that can be worse than that? If I give it my all, perhaps a miracle might happen, and he can stand on his two legs
again.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm
Following that thought, Bailey opened her eyes and took a deep breath. She turned around, picked up a pair of
tweezers and a scalpel, and began cleaning up the damaged muscles on Edmund's leg.
“I don't know if I can save his leg, but I will do my best. Currently, all the muscles in his legs are damaged. I will
remove them little by little. Then, I will develop a growth hormone to help him grow his muscles quickly. However,
I've got to think of something synthetic that can replace his crushed bones. Even though it will affect his movement
in the future, it won't be apparent unless observed closely.”
Seeing that she was with a plan, Artemis couldn't help but sigh with relief. He smiled and said, “I trust you. This
might be a long process, but I believe you'll be able to help him stand back up again.”
The operation took more than three hours.
The booster shot in Bailey's body had already lost its effects. She started to have difficulties breathing, and her body
was weakening.
She wanted to give herself another shot to get back in shape, but Artemis stopped her.
“Your body is already exhausted. It'll destroy your body if you take another shot of something with so many side
effects. Listen to me, Bailey. Edmund risked his life because he wanted you to live healthily. He will be upset and
hurt to see you like this when he wakes up.”
Bailey glanced at the operating table and saw she was almost done cleaning up, so she decided to listen to Artemis
and abandoned the idea of taking another booster shot.
Her voice was weak as she instructed, “Listen up, everyone. Do not stop the pain-relieving drugs when you transfer
him to the ICU ward later. He has to be on those drugs constantly. Also, pay attention to his heart rate and report to
me immediately if you notice a difference.”
The person in charge of the medical team quickly answered, “Yes, Ms. Jefferson.”
Bailey staggered a little.
