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.
