Chapter 98 Finger pointing
Mr. Linderman had been standing at the open door and there were stairs right outside the door. Mrs.
Linderman pushed him very hard. He had been getting on in years and it was difficult for him to keep
his balance. He instantly fell down the stairs.
There were dozens of stairs. His bones crashed against the concrete stairs and eventually fell against
the wall across the stairs. There was blood everywhere.
Mrs. Linderman moaned briefly and fell unconscious.
“Honey…”
“Dad…”
“Dad…”
Mrs. Linderman, Joey and Vivian screamed almost at the same time.
Mrs. Linderman was completely shocked. Her body was shaking. She fell on her knees.
“Get out of my way!”
Joey panicked when she found her father motionless. She pushed Vivian away and ran down the stairs
as quickly as possible.
“Dad…Dad…”
Joey hurriedly checked her father and found the upper part of his body soaked in blood, “Dad, hang in
there. Please don’t…”
She took out her phone with trembling hands and Allen was the first person she wanted to call. She
called him without hesitation.
Allen immediately told her not to move her father and he called Chance at once.
In a short while, the ambulance from Chance’s clinic arrived downstairs. Doctors and nurses quickly
lifted Mr. Linderman into the ambulance and started first aid treatments right away. This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Joey got on the ambulance and watched, shaking with fear.
Allen held her tight in his arms, and comforted her gently, “Baby, don’t worry, it will be all right. Don’t be
scared. I’m here, baby…”
“Allen, I’m scared. My father….he…”
Joey curled up in his arms and burst into tears.
Mrs. Linderman and Vivian had wanted to ride in the ambulance, but there were too many people in it.
They had taken the car behind.
“Vivian, do you think your father will be all right? Would I go to prison if he died?”
Mrs. Linderman held Vivian’s hands in fright. Under the current circumstance, she cared more about
herself than her unconscious husband.
Vivian was scared too. She pushed her mother’s hands away, trying to keep a distance from her. Her
face went pale, “You pushed my father downstairs, not me. I just hit Joey. I didn’t touch my father at
all…”
She was implying that it was all her mother’s fault that her father had fallen downstairs.
Mrs. Linderman froze and stared at Vivian in shock. It took her a while to come to her senses and cried
loudly, “You ungrateful bastard, I did it for you. I’ve done it for you. Were you planning to leave your
mother alone when something went wrong? What an ungrateful daughter! I was pregnant with you for
nine months and raised you since you were a little baby. I’ve done my best to feed you, dress you and
send you to college. How could my own daughter betray me? …”
Vivian was annoyed by her crying mother. She decided to call Ben Hawk, because she was panicked
and needed someone to rely on at the moment.
However, Ben Hawk was having much fun with his assistant Jillian in the office. He had turned his
phone off, so Vivian couldn’t reach him.
She became even more panicked when she couldn’t reach Ben Hawk. In a moment of desperation, she
gave Quentin a call.
Quentin had just taken a shower at home after work. He was sitting in the living room and watching TV,
bored. Amanda was still busy at work in the office right now.
He had decided to rush to Chance’s clinic the moment he got her call.
Mr. Linderman had been sent into the operating room. Joey, Allen, Mrs. Linderman and Vivian were
waiting outside the operating room anxiously.
