“Does your hand hurt?” Joe asked softly, his concern for Skylar clear in his voice.
Skylar glanced at her slightly reddened palm. It still stung from the force of the slaps she’d delivered.
“Mr. Martin…” Peter stammered, his voice filled with desperation.
Regaining his composure, 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 Skylar’s biological mother, please, help us. It’s a small favor for someone like you.” This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

“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 mind completely gone off the rails? This is all your fault!” Samuel shouted, barely containing his rage.
