Chapter 340
“Actually… I never gave up on my treatment these past few months! I’ve been secretly seeking out specialists.
Gideon and Lucas have been helping me look for top doctors and asking around for effective remedies p>
Celeste choked up, her voice trembling with the resilient agony of someone who had suffered immensely.
“I’ve been treating my body like a pharmacy, taking endless pills.
Hard work pays off, and I don’t even know which doctor’s method did the trick.
These past few days, I slowly felt a bit of strength returning to my legs. I could even stand for a few seconds at a time p>
She lifted her red, swollen eyes to look at Jarred, tears welling up, looking so pitiful that even a heart of stone would melt.
“I originally thought I’d rest for a few more days, and once my legs were fully healed, I’d give you a huge surprise, but I never expected p>
At this point, she suddenly cried her heart out, as if all her hopes had been completely crushed in this very moment.
Jarred remained perfectly silent.
His brows were deeply furrowed, and his dark eyes were like an unfathomable pool, revealing absolutely no emotion.
Celeste sneaked a glance at him but couldn’t read a thing, letting the unease in her heart grow like wild weeds.
She abruptly raised her head, lifting her hand through tear-blurred eyes to point back at Sienna, her voice shrill.
“It’s all her fault! She extinguished all my hopes! What’s the point of living? I might as well die p>
She cried agonizingly, playing the victim with absolute perfection.
Seeing this, the entourage by the door glared at Sienna with intense hostility, whispering accusations.
Sienna watched this dramatic performance with cold detachment, leaving only mockery in her heart.
She genuinely admired Celeste’s talent; her acting was seamless, and the plot twists were endless.
She curled her lips, her voice cold and sharp. “What’s the point of just crying? I’ll only be impressed if you actually go through with it p>
Celeste’s sobbing hitched, choking on her own words.
Before she could continue playing the victim, Sienna turned her head, her gaze landing on Jarred.
“After I invited Dr. Vance to treat her that time, didn’t you pay him a private visit? You should remember his warning p>
At these words, Celeste trembled violently, her face filled with disbelief.
Jarred went to see Dr. Vance privately? When did that happen? Why didn’t she know anything about it?
That subtle trace of panic fell perfectly into Sienna’s eyes, deepening the smile on her lips.
She spoke unhurriedly. “Jarred felt bad for you. He knew you’d never stoop to begging me, so he went behind my back to plead with Dr Vance, hoping the old man would treat your legs himself p>
Celeste’s heart sank heavily, her fingertips unconsciously gripping the blanket.
She looked at Jarred apprehensively, her voice tentative and cautious. “What… what did Dr. Vance say p>
Jarred pressed his lips together, his Adam’s apple bobbing slightly as his voice dropped. “His original diagnosis stands p>
Those few words sent a wave of boundless panic spreading through Celeste’s heart.
Sienna sneered, staring into Jarred’s obscure eyes with a rising tone. “Why didn’t you tell her about Dr. Vance’s final warning p>
The unease in Celeste’s chest completely exploded.
She asked almost instinctively, “What warning p>
Sienna glanced at Jarred, and seeing he had no intention of speaking, she smiled faintly and spoke at a leisurely pace.
“For crippled legs, a secondary acupuncture session must be performed within three months to consolidate the healing, otherwise recovery is impossible.
But if perfectly healthy legs are stimulated by Dr. Vance’s exclusive needle technique, the meridians will sever and the nerves Wilt die They will become permanently crippled.
