Ch. 236: Mr. Edwards’ Unraveled Life chapter 236
Chapter 236
Bianca tilted her head and fell off the hospital bed with a sickening thud, the sound of her body hitting the floor reverberating through the room. The impact was harsh, leaving her sprawled helplessly on the ground.
Kevin, who had just been about to push Bianca away, froze when he saw Bonnie strike her. His expression darkened as he addressed her sternly.
“Aunt Bonnie, what are you doing here?”
Cleo hurried over to help Bianca, her face pale with worry.
“What am I doing?” Bonnie sneered, her tone ice-cold. “I’m dealing with this homewrecker. Can’t you see?”
Bianca, tears streaming uncontrollably, remained limp on the floor, her spirit seemingly shattered.
Kevin frowned deeply, pulling Bianca up and steadying her. “She’s sick,” he said tersely. “I came to check on her.”
“Sick?” Bonnie scoffed, crossing her arms. “She’s not sick—she’s pretending. This is all part of her act to win your pity. And you’re falling for it, just like she wants!”
Kevin’s jaw tightened. “She’s my employee. Whether she’s pretending or not, I have a responsibility to check on her.”
Bonnie glared at Bianca, her irritation barely contained. “Your employee? Really? Then why is it every time you’re around, she just happens to have some ‘tragic’ illness? She’s a master manipulator, Kevin. She’s been playing you like a fiddle from the start.”
Cleo, kneeling beside Bianca, finally snapped. “How can you treat Ms. Lynch this way?” she cried, her voice trembling with emotion. “She’s already been through so much—losing her voice, now her hearing—and yet everyone around her keeps tearing her down! Don’t you think she’s suffered enough?”
Bonnie rolled her eyes, her disdain palpable. “Suffered?” she shot back. “She’s climbed to the top of the entertainment industry, living a life of luxury, all thanks to Kevin’s help. If anyone deserves pity, it’s my daughter-in-law!”
Cleo wiped Bianca’s tear-streaked face, her voice rising with indignation. “Ms. Lynch hasn’t done anything wrong. She’s innocent, yet you all keep punishing her like she’s some kind of criminal!”
Bonnie stepped closer, her expression hardening. “Innocent? That’s rich. I’m going to put an end to this nonsense right now.” She grabbed Bianca by the arm, yanking her to her feet.
“Let’s see this so-called illness of yours,” Bonnie said, her voice dripping with sarcasm. “Are you really deaf, or is this just another performance?”
Bianca’s eyes widened in terror as she pleaded, “Please, Aunt Bonnie… don’t hurt me. I’ve done nothing wrong!” She clutched her head protectively, her whole body trembling.
Bonnie wasn’t swayed. “Can’t hear, huh? Convenient. Let’s see if that’s true.”
Cleo rushed to shield Bianca, her voice shaking with desperation. “Leave her alone! She can’t handle this right now. You’re going to push her over the edge!”
Kevin grabbed Bonnie’s arm, his voice sharp. “Enough, Aunt Bonnie! Let her go.”
Bonnie jerked her arm free, glaring at Kevin. “I won’t let this go. Not until everyone sees her for the fraud she is.”
Before anyone could intervene further, Bianca suddenly broke free. Her face was a mix of anguish and desperation as she screamed, “You all want me gone? Fine! I’ll end it right now!”
With a burst of frenzied energy, Bianca darted past them and slammed her head against the wall. The sickening crack of her skull echoed through the room as she collapsed to the floor, blood trickling down her forehead.
The room fell into stunned silence.
“Ms. Lynch!” Cleo’s scream broke through the paralysis. “You monsters! You’re killing her!”
Kevin didn’t hesitate. He rushed to Bianca’s side, scooping her up in his arms. “Call the doctor! Now!” he barked.
Cleo bolted out of the room, tears streaming down her face. Within moments, a team of doctors arrived, whisking Bianca into the emergency room.
The chaos subsided into a tense silence as everyone waited outside the operating room.
Cleo sobbed uncontrollably, her hands trembling as she paced the hallway. Kevin stood off to the side, his face a cold mask of fury as he barked orders into his phone.
Bonnie, now calm but visibly shaken, stared blankly at the emergency room doors. She hadn’t expected Bianca to go to such extremes.
“She’s more ruthless than I thought,” Bonnie muttered under her breath.
Norah, still frozen in shock, whispered weakly, “Aunt Bonnie…”
Bonnie turned to her niece, softening her tone. “I’m sorry, Norah. I didn’t mean to scare you.”
Norah’s voice quivered. “Aunt, I…”
“You’re pregnant, sweetheart,” Bonnie interrupted gently. “You shouldn’t be around all this chaos. Go lie down and rest. I’ll take care of everything.”
“But Aunt Bonnie—”
“No arguments,” Bonnie insisted, her voice firm but kind. “You and the baby come first.”
Norah hesitated but ultimately nodded, letting Bonnie guide her away.
Once Norah was out of earshot, Bonnie turned her attention back to Kevin, who was pacing the hallway. She approached him cautiously.
“Kevin,” she said quietly, “I know you’re angry. But you need to understand—this woman has manipulated everyone around her. Don’t let her drag you down with her.”
Kevin didn’t respond, his eyes fixed on the emergency room doors.
Bonnie sighed, her expression a mix of regret and resolve. “Just be careful, Kevin. Women like her always have an agenda.”
She turned and walked away, leaving Kevin alone with his thoughts.
As the tension in the hallway thickened, Kevin’s phone buzzed in his hand. Without looking, he silenced it. His focus was on Bianca—and the consequences of everything that had just unfolded.
