….
Keira slightly halted as she frowned and peered into the room.
She caught sight of Nara, whose hands were covered in blood, which was also smeared on the apple peel she was holding. Nara’s fingers trembled as she stared at the cut on her hand.
Keira’s pupils contracted, and she immediately rushed in. “Nara, are you alright?”
Nara looked at Keira with tearful eyes before fixating on her trembling hand.
On her wrist was a gash from which blood was gushing out, rendering her hand strengthless.
Keira immediately asked, “What happened?”
Nara gestured with her hand, trying to speak, but unfortunately, no one in the room understood her sign language. She wanted to write, but the right hand she used to write was cut, and she couldn’t muster any strength.
Her eyes were rimmed red. She was supposed to become a doctor; if she no longer had strength in her hand, how would she hold a scalpel?
Her entire medical career had been destroyed.
With resentment, she turned her tearful gaze toward Jackson.
Keira immediately asked, “Did he do this?”
Nara nodded at once.
Keira then scanned the surrounding environment.
Jackson lay in bed, unable to get down, but beside Nara and on the floor were a pillow and a fruit knife. Taking the situation in the room into account…
Keira immediately said, “Did he ask you to peel the apple and then, while you were peeling it, he hit you with a pillow, causing you to cut your wrist?”
Nara nodded tearfully.
Jackson sneered. “So what if I did that? She couldn’t serve me properly! I wanted to eat an apple and asked her to peel one, and she couldn’t even manage that!”
Nara cried as she looked at him. She could do it. But Jackson always found fault in her actions. If the apple peel were too thick, he would scold her, accusing her of wasting food; if it were too thin, he would still scold her, threatening to complain about her. She had to focus on peeling, but when the knife slipped toward her wrist, a pillow suddenly struck her, causing the blade to slice her wrist. Now, it seemed the tendon in her wrist was cut, and she couldn’t exert any strength.
In a state of utter despair, Nara wept miserably. Unable to speak, she felt a suffocating sensation in her chest. All she could do was glare at Jackson and try to open her mouth desperately.
She wanted to speak, but she couldn’t make a sound. Keira said, “Nara, don’t be anxious. I know you’ve been wronged.”
But Nara shook her head as she cried.
Jackson laughed mockingly. “What wrong has she suffered? The person who was wronged here is me! She couldn’t do her job properly. She’s a doctor, right? She’s supposed to hold a scalpel in the future, and she can’t even peel an apple for me? If she’s incompetent with a simple apple, she might as well consider a career change; we can’t have her shaking and damaging the patient’s body in an operating room!”
After that, Jackson turned to his assistant. “Go tell the dean and her teacher that she cut her hand while peeling an apple for me. A careless person shouldn’t be given a permanent position, lest she harm others.”
The assistant nodded, “Alright.”
As the assistant was about to leave, Nara grabbed his hand. She shook her head in pain, her mouth opening and closing in desperation.
She wept soundlessly with tears rolling down her face.
Jackson rebuked sharply, “What are you standing there for? Hurry up and go!”
The assistant heartlessly pushed Nara away and headed toward the door.
Watching the assistant leave, Nara grabbed his arm again and, in extreme emotional stress, unconsciously shouted two words, “…No… don’t…”
Although speaking was difficult, with a hoarse voice and weird pronunciation, she still managed to utter those two words.
After hearing her voice, Keira was taken aback for a moment.
Nara also froze, her tearful gaze following the assistant.
Jackson curled his lips. “Wow, look at that—the mute can talk! So why have you been playing mute? To gain sympathy? I heard that because you are a disabled person, the school waived a year of tuition for you. You wouldn’t be scamming for tuition fees, would you?”
Shaken and frightened, Nara hurriedly waved her hands, her mouth opening and closing, “…I… didn’t…”
Though speaking was strenuous, she indeed made a sound.
Keira immediately exclaimed with surprise, “Nara, you spoke! Can you talk?”
Nara nodded while crying, then shook her head.
Jackson sneered again. “What does it matter if she can talk or not? I’ll make sure she drops out! Oh, and by the way, I heard she wants to work at the Nora Research Institute. Without experience working in a hospital, there’s no way she can get in!”
Upon hearing this, Keira was momentarily stunned.
She looked at Nara. “Do you want to go to Nora Research Institute?”
Nara nodded, then shook her head again. She did want to go but didn’t have the ability yet.
Keira said, “I’ll help you.”
“You’ll help her?” laughed Jackson as if he’d heard a joke. “How can you help her? Don’t you know the family controls the medical system? With one word from us, the Nora Research Institute will never accept her! Austin, am I right?”
Upon hearing this, Austin laughed lightly. “That’s right! Keira, I won’t let her succeed! I’m getting the hospital to revoke her internship!”
As soon as he finished speaking, his phone rang unexpectedly. It was Lady Gill, and he answered immediately. “Mom, have the bodyguards arrived? Check every phone number, and we’ll find our sister!”
