Chapter 752


    With just one word from Joe, their lives could be snuffed out. Peter and Samuel froze, their


    bodies rigid with fear. They couldn’tpréhend how Skr had managed topletely win over


    Joe’s heart.


    Skr walked up to Joe. Seeing someone get pped in front of him wasn’t new–he had seen it all


    before.


    “Does your hand hurt?” Joe asked softly, his concern for Skr clear in his voice.


    Skr nced at her slightly reddened palm. It still stung from the force of the ps she’d


    delivered.


    “Mr. Martin…” Peter stammered, his voice filled with desperation.


    Regaining hisposure, he ignored the throbbing pain on his swollen face and pleaded urgently,


    “Mr. Martin, my mom’s condition is critical. This hospital can’t provide the care she needs. Given


    that she’s Skr’s biological mother, please, help us. It’s a small favor for someone like you.”


    Meanwhile, Samuel remained silent before Joe. Despite the thoughts racing through his mind, he


    dared not utter a single word in Joe’s presence.


    Sadie groaned in pain. “It hurts… It hurts so much… I’m in so much pain. It’s unbearable, I don’t


    know how much longer I can live. Skye, I’m your mother. Mr. Martin, please have mercy and save


    me.”


    She was terrified of dying, and the doctors here were all ipetent, telling her she was close to


    death.


    She couldn’t ept it. She wouldn’t die.


    Seeing that Skr was fine, Joe turned his attention to Sadie and her sons.


    The three of them looked hopeful as Joe nced their way.


    But he merely gave them a brief look before taking Skr’s hand and walking away.


    They were stunned–too shocked to react.


    “They left? Just like that? What’s going on?” Samuel finally snapped out of


    1. it.


    Peter took a deep breath, his frustration boiling over. He stormed back to the bedside. Unable to


    contain his anger, he pped Sadie several times, venting his frustration.


    “Didn’t you say you were sure you could get Skr to help us? I heard everything outside. You


    completely lost your cool. Are you doing this on purpose? Are you trying to get back at us? Do you


    have any idea how hard things are for me right now?”


    “It’s all because of you, Mom! You’ve dragged us down and made us lose all hope. Are you even


    our mother? Has your mindpletely gone off the rails? This is all your fault!” Samuel shouted,


    barely containing his rage.


    Thankfully, Samuel managed to stop himself from hitting Sadie.


    The other patients in the ward stared in shock.


    One of them finally reacted, his voice trembling. “That woman… Your mother, she’s coughed up


    blood and died! You’ve beaten her to death…” Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org.


    “Murder! Murder!” The others echoed in horror.


    Peter had pped Sadie so hard that it shocked everyone.


    Peter stood frozen, his face ashen. He stared at Sadie, his movements


    slow and deliberate.


    The sight made him stagger back, dropping to the ground.


    Blood streamed from Sadie’s mouth and nose, her eyes wide and bulging as if they were about to


    pop out.


    Her face was deathly pale.


    Samuel was stunned and horrified. He said, “Peter… You killed Mom…”


    “It can’t be! She couldn’t have died from my beating! Doctor! Get in here, now!” Peter screamed in a


    frenzy, dashing out of the ward.


    A few doctors and nurses rushed in. Seeing Sadie’s condition, they were Initially stunned but


    quickly began emergency procedures.


    After ten minutes, they confirmed Sadie’s death.


    The patients in the ward informed the doctors about what had happened, and the doctors


    immediately called the police.


    When the police arrived, they took Peter away.


    With several witnesses present, Samuel pointed out Peter to ensure his innocence.
