Chapter 586: Paralysis


    A few minutester, police cars and an ambnce pulled in front of the Lester family‘s home. $ EMTs


    rushed in to carry Ritchie into the ambnce on a stretcher. Patrick also followed them into the back of


    the ambnce.


    Before shutting the door behind him, he looked at Ethan sullenly, with unfathomable emotion brewing


    behind his eyes. The police immediately set out to check the surveince footage.


    Ethan had briefly exined that Ritchie attempted to kill him, so he had merely acted out of self–


    defense. It was not difficult to prove what he said.


    Patrick was always wary that someone would try to break in and steal top secret documents from his


    home, so he had installed security cameras everywhere in the vi, except for the bedrooms. It was


    clear from the footage that Ritchie was about to stab Ethan with a fragment of the broken vase.


    Ethan managed to dodge and pushed Ritchie away, which was how Ritchie tumbled down the stairs.


    Ethan went to the police station to make his statement, and he was kept there for the time being.


    J was worried sick. Before Ethan had left with the police, she asked, “Shall I call Garrett? I think


    Ritchie‘s seriously injured.”


    Ethanforted her calmly.


    “Go back to our house and get some rest. There‘s no need to call Garrett. I‘ll take care of it myself.”


    In Seacisco‘s best hospital, Patrick kept pacing back and forth restlessly in the corridor that led to the


    operating room. When Seth arrived and saw Patrick, he asked with concern, “Dad, how is he?”


    Patrick rubbed his aching temples and murmured, “We won‘t know until the operation is over.”


    Seth helped Patrick to the bench. Then, he leaned against the wall, fidgeting with the ring on his finger


    agitatedly. Two hourster, the doctor came out of the emergency room and called Patrick and Seth


    into his office.


    “The patient will live–“.


    “Wonderful!” Patrick eximed with a sigh of relief. The doctor pursed his lips and continued gravely,


    “The patient will live, but his neck was severely damaged,promising the nerves in his spine. It‘s


    very likely that he will be paralyzed for life.” .


    Patrick felt like he was riding an emotional roller–coaster. When he heard what the doctor had to say,


    he nearly passed out on the spot. Seth hurried to help his father, while asking the doctor politely, “Is


    there any treatment?” The doctor sighed.


    “Currently, the local medical tech is limited, so I cannot promise anything for sure. But if it‘s financially


    possible for you, I suggest you contact some foreign experts in this field.”


    By the time Patrick came out of the doctor‘s office, he seemed to have aged ten years. Although


    Ritchie was by no means an excellent son, he was still Patrick‘s own flesh and blood after all. And now


    the poor boy was disabled.


    Patrick felt caught between a rock and a hard ce. If it were anyone else who had hurt Ritchie, he


    would‘ve done everything in his power to put the assant in jail. However, the assant was none


    other than Ethan, who was also his son.


    “Dad, are you going to let Ethan get away with this?” Seth asked, as though he could read his father’s


    mind. With a long face, Patrick said, “He‘s also my son.”


    “But Ethan has never treated me and Ritchie as his brothers. And Ritchie has suffered too much. If he


    finds out that you let this slide, he‘ll only be sadder.”


    As Seth spoke, there was a sh of resentment in his eyes.


    He didn‘t have any affection for Ethan, despite them being brothers. These days, the Lester family and


    the Larson Group had been battling fiercely. Deciding to take matters into his own hands, Seth


    immediately hired the bestwyers, preparing to sue Ethan.
