CHAPTER 306: CHAPTER 306: YOU CAN’T LEAVE, HE NEEDS YOU

Felix Orwell had never seen Sienna Quinn like this—a crazed woman. Was this really the composed and calm woman he knew?

Afraid Evan Quinn might be scared, he quickly covered the boy’s eyes and held him tightly in his arms in silent understanding.

Sienna leaned close to her ear, speaking clearly and coldly: "I warn you not to make a scene here, this is a hospital; surgeries need a quiet environment."

Seeing Sienna’s sharp, knife-like gaze, Vera Yates was frightened into silence.

The assistant who came along was also scared, wanting to help Vera but too afraid to act.

"Stop."

A voice cold as ice rang out in the hospital corridor, as a woman dressed in luxurious attire slowly approached, her expression somewhat grim, emitting such an oppressive atmosphere that no one dared to speak.

Even Felix Orwell, a man of frivolous demeanor, obediently shut his mouth. This was not a woman to be trifled with.

Sienna naturally recognized her, though she had only met her once, but that face was unforgettable.

She was none other than Landon Lawson’s mother.

"Let her go. What kind of behavior is this? Do you think it’s acceptable to bicker in a hospital? Women of the Lawson Family cannot panic at any time."

Mom Lawson walked over, her calm and serious demeanor a mirror of Landon Lawson’s. Seeing this, Sienna quickly released Vera.

The timid appearance stopped Sienna from uttering a word.

This authoritative mother was not one to reason with, especially now with Landon Lawson still lying in the hospital.

If Mom Lawson discovered that Landon’s injury was her fault, she might even have the heart to kill her.

"Auntie!"

Free from restraint, Vera quickly ran to Mom Lawson, pretending to cry and said grievously: "Look at that woman; she caused Stephen such harm. If it weren’t for her..."

Vera’s voice choked up as she spoke, tears streaming down her pretty face.

Her pitiful appearance and demeanor could make anyone think she had suffered immensely.

Vera looked at Sienna with eyes full of anger and resentment.

Resentment over Landon’s injury.

Resentment that Landon was hurt because of her.

What right did this woman have? How could she keep Landon so fixated on her for so long? In what ways was she weaker than her? This question haunted Vera’s mind.

Mom Lawson fixed a fierce gaze on Sienna.

Evan Quinn wiped his tears, staring at the middle-aged woman blankly. From their conversation, he could tell she might be his estranged grandmother.

Evan walked over, tugging at Mom Lawson’s clothes, pleading: "Grandma, don’t blame mommy."

Mom Lawson looked at Evan, her expression slightly softened, gently embracing him. She had come to know of Evan’s existence later on, hearing from the butler that he was a very well-behaved child, bearing a striking resemblance to Landon Lawson.

Although she had never met him, seeing that face resembling young Landon made her heart overflow with affection.

"You must be Chloe."

"Yes, Grandma."

Evan nodded tearfully, even though he met his estranged grandmother, his worry for his father didn’t fade.

"Mother..." Sienna stood there dumbfounded, looking vulnerable.

"You left without a word five years ago, taking my grandson from the Lawson Family. Do you still see me as your mother?" Mom Lawson snorted coldly. Sienna’s departure had made the Lawson Family a laughing stock, and upon learning her grandson was taken away, the hatred in her heart was unspeakable.

Sienna felt Mom Lawson’s disdainful gaze, fearing further disturbance might affect Landon’s surgery, apologized, "I’m sorry. I was immature back then. I’ll leave with Chloe now."

Sienna took Evan’s hand, preparing to leave.

"Stay," Mom Lawson’s commanding tone rang out behind Sienna, making her shiver.

"Stephen needs you," Mom Lawson added slowly.

Sienna’s tears burst forth immediately.

Vera, standing aside, didn’t expect Mom Lawson to side with Sienna, was so angry she nearly fainted, wishing to kill Sienna.

"Auntie!" Vera expected Mom Lawson to drive Sienna away, but contrary to her expectation, Mom Lawson actively asked her to stay. This was entirely different from what Vera imagined.

Mom Lawson nodded, saying: "I know what’s important now, Sienna cannot leave."

Vera was furious, gnashing her teeth; originally, Nolan Shaw hadn’t told Mom Lawson about Landon’s injury. It was Vera who spread the news to lure Mom Lawson over, aiming to make Sienna suffer.

Landon had been a filial child since young; if Mom Lawson really disliked Sienna, even Landon wouldn’t dare to defy her, and Sienna would inevitably be kept out of the Lawson Family.

Vera stomped her feet in anger. Without waiting for the surgery to end, she stormed off in a rage.

"Vera, don’t be mad," the assistant hurriedly caught up, persuading kindly.

"Smack!" Vera slapped the assistant twice, finally finding some relief.

"You want me not to be mad? When I was being hit by that bitch Sienna earlier, where were you?" Vera grew more furious with each word, raising her hand again to hit the assistant.

The assistant held her back: "Vera, this is a hospital, mind your image!"

Awakened by the reminder, Vera slowly lowered her arm, then lightly touched the assistant’s face, asking, "Are you all right? Did Sienna hit you hard?"

The assistant was momentarily stunned, but quickly understood.

Vera looked at the assistant’s swollen face, a cunning smile forming on her lips.

The assistant felt his heart skip a beat upon seeing this, wondering what scheme she planned next!

"Ding."

The light outside the surgery room finally went off, Sienna’s heart nearly jumped out as she quickly pulled Evan’s small hand forward, noticing the little guy trembling nervously.

Clatter!

The surgery room doors swung open, and doctors and nurses emerged.

"How is he, Doctor?" Mom Lawson stepped forward anxiously to inquire.

The doctor removed his mask, replying, "Rest assured, the CEO’s life is saved, but..."

Sienna, who had barely exhaled, found her heart tightening upon hearing the doctor’s troubled tone, as if her heart had jumped into her throat.

"But what?" Sienna grasped the doctor’s sleeve frantically, asking with worry.

Mom Lawson’s expression remained unchanged, as did Felix Orwell’s.

Looking at them both, Sienna realized something: "Are you hiding something from me?"

Felix stepped forward with a sorrowful expression, gripping Sienna’s shoulders to give her strength, "While you were unconscious, the doctors had already issued a critical condition notice due to the bullet being too close to Stephen’s heart. Even if the surgery succeeded, his body could be paralyzed. Both Mom Lawson and I witnessed this, and she agreed to the surgery."

Paralyzed?

Sienna went momentarily blind, feeling the world spin, unable to stand upright.
