Chapter 177
Lance’s handsome face grew grim. “What do you mean?”
Susan red at him but did not answer. She turned and ran away.
By the time Lance reacted, she was already gone.
Lance’s face turned livid with anger as he kicked the car.
He wanted to vent his anger, so he kicked the iron te, only to have his toe bone crack.
Carried by nurses and his assistant, Lance, so unlucky, was brought into the emergency room.
Upon hearing the nurse announce that Scarlett had awoken. Lanny grabbed the stethoscope and
hurried to the VIP ward.
Lanny went forward to check Scarlett’s physical condition and, upon finding no signs of infection at the
back of her head, heaved a sigh of relief.
“Miss Sales, the back of your head has been operated on. We just need to monitor if it is infected.
There shouldn’t be any major issues, but…
Lammy paused for a moment and looked at Scarlett with some regret. “Your heart failure rate is getting
faster and faster. I’m afraid you wont be able to hold on for long.”
Scarlett already knew about her physical condition, so she didn’t care. “How much longer… can I live?”
Lanny slipped her hands into the pockets of her whiteb coat and bowed her head to gaze at
Scarlett’s pallid face. In a hushed tone, she murmured, ‘About a week.”
Had she not been so severely injured, she could have lived for two more months with the aid of special
medications.
The nail had pierced through the back of her head, causing her heart failure to elerate.
Miraculously, she managed to survive another week.
Lanny gasped, recalling the scene of Scarlett being hurt on her head.
“Miss Sales, who get the nail into your head?”
Sebastian only sent a message to tell her that Susy, Scarlee, and he had hit Scarlett and asked Lanny
to hurry up and save her.
However, he did not tell her who caused the injury on Scarlett.
Lanny guessed that the cause might be a group fight, yet she couldn’t believe that Sebastian would be
involved.
Not knowing the specific situation at that time, she could only ask Scarlett.

Sadness glimmered in Scarlett’s eyes, her long eyshes quickly drooping to conceal her feelings
She was silent, seemingly unwilling to speak, so Lanny didn’t bring it up again. Turning around, she
handed her a paper bag.
This is what you left in the mall. A nurse helped you get it back. I’ll put it here.”
After cing the paper bag on the bedside table, Lanny whispered to her, “Get some rest. If you don’t
feel well, just press the
bell”
She turned around and was about to leave when Scarlett stopped her. “Dr. Lanny…..”
Lanny turned to look at her. “Hmm? Feeling unwell?”
Scarlett shook her head and looked at the paper bag on the bedside table. “There’s a bottle of perfume
in the bag… I got it for you
Lanny was taken aback for a moment. She followed her gaze and looked at the paper bag and then
back at her. “You… went to the mall to get me perfume?”
Scarlett nodded, her expression gentle. I’m so grateful for all the medicine you gave me; I wanted to
thank you…”
Lanny’s shocked expression gradually softened into a touching emotion, her eyes misting over and
leaving her momentarily speechless.
Standing rooted to the ground for a few moments, she then walked up to Scarlett and gently touched
her palece with her fair hand
“Miss Sales, I’m sorry. If not for me, you wouldn’t have met Susy. It was me who harmed you.“
Scarlett couldn’t see Lanny’s expression clearly, but she could feel her apology. The corners of her lips
curled up slightly. “It has nothing to do with you
She overestimated her own abilities and wanted to give them a taste of their own medicine.
However, she had forgotten that being too small, she could not afford to offend their power.
In exchange for this situation, she deserved it.
She deserved to offend those people, falling in love with someone she should not have.
