RedNovelChapter 393 Surveillance Footage "We get it. You don't have to keep saying it," Douglas said dryly. Then, he glanced at Sierra, who had remained silent the entire time, and sneered. "For her, you won't care whether anyone else lives or dies." "Douglas." Daniel finally spoke up, warning him to stop.
Douglas was clearly unconvinced. He lowered his head to check on Melody and threw out sarcastic remarks from tto time.
Theo was already frustrated by the whole incident and completely lost his patience. He stepped in front of Sierra protectively and snapped coldly, "It wasn't Sierra pullingaway. I carried her out.
"I had the staff go look for her. Was she alone when you found her?" Douglas froze for a moment, his mouth slightly open. Before he could respond, Yvette, who had long been disgusted with his blind loyalty to Melody, cut in sharply, "Yeah, we saw it. He was so sweet and considerate that he wouldn't even let Melody walk too fast." Yet, the moment they arrived, Melody had burst into tears, acting as if the whole world had abandoned her. Theo shot Melody a cold glance. She trembled under his gaze and avoided his eyes as her face turned pale.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDaniel, Simon, and the others were well aware of her schemes. They were growing tired of her constant manipulation of Douglas.
Thinking back, Douglas hadn't been entirely wrong before when he said nobody liked an evil woman. That was exactly why, after all these years, Theo had never liked Melody.
Only Douglas was blind to it, constantly defending her.
But this time, he had gone too far. His hostility toward Sierra was too obvious, and Theo had no intention of letting it slide. Turning to the staff, he ordered, "Since Mr. Brown has doubts about the incident, pull up the surveillance footage." The staff hesitated, looking at Douglas. Seeing that he didn't object, they quickly went to retrieve a laptop.
"Mr. Gray, Mrs. Gray was startled, and her heart rate is a bit fast. I'll prescribe scalming medication for her, and she should be fine," the doctor reported during the brief pause.
Douglas scoffed as if he had expected this all along. He shot a mocking look toward Sierra. "See? I told you she was fine." Yvette's expression darkened. She glared at him. "Why are you always like this? Would it make you happy if Cee were more injured than Melody?" Douglas wanted to argue but found himself at a loss for words. He knew he shouldn't treat Sierra this way, but he just couldn't help himself.
Ever since Theo married Sierra, Melody hadn't been happy-not even once. Every the saw her heartbroken and disappointed, he felt an unbearable ache.
Today was simply an outburst of all the frustration he had suppressed.
"I'll also prescribe sfever medication. Mrs. Gray is likely to develop a fever tonight," the doctor added.
Douglas pressed his lips together and finally looked at Sierra. She hadn't opened her eyes or saida single word. For a brief moment, guilt flickered through his heart.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThat guilt didn't last long, though. The second the doctor removed Melody's boot, revealing her swollen ankle, his anger toward Theo and Sierra flared up again.
"Why is it so swollen?" He kneeled beside Melody with concern. "Doctor, should we get an X-ray? Are her bones okay?" After a careful examination, the doctor shook his head, replying. "It's not serious.
But if you're worried, you can take her to the hospital for a scan."
"Hiss..." Melody sucked in a breath, clutching Douglas' shirt with @pained expression.
Douglas' heart ached even more. He wished he could carry her to them hospital immediately. "Hurry up and do something to reduce the swelling if the pain. She can't stay like this." The doctor wrapped an ice pack in a towel and handed it to him. "Apply ice first.
I'll give her santi-inflammatory medication as well."
Douglas took the ice pack carefully, pressed it against Melody's ankle, and frowned. "That's it?"
