Suzanna lay on the unforgiving wooden bed, her frail form curled up like an abandoned rag in a shadowy corner, a place heavy with decay and an overwhelming stench.
Her cold, dark eyes stared vacantly at the wall, tracing the scratches that marked her seventh day in confinement.
Her mother’s time in custody had ended; Derrick should have been there to take her home.
It was time for her to leave, too,
“Suzanna, it’s
time to change your bandages!”
This place, despite its legal affiliations, had its advantages; Derrick had leveraged his connections to ensure she had a doctor checking on her during her stay.
Seven days had passed, and while the marks of the slap on her face had faded, the scar on her forehead. felt like a permanent reminder.
Fortunately, Derrick had sent her the beauty cream he’d splurged on from the social elite.
As soon as the scent wafted through the air, she recognized the distinctive aroma of the product that had recently become a sensation among the wealthy.
Melody, how dare you send me to this wretched place!
You trample
e me into the ground while you flaunt your new life–what gives you the right?
I won’t allow you to thrive.
Her frail body swayed as she stood and made her way toward the iron door.
A familiar doctor began to tend to her bandages.
Just before she left, a small slip of paper was discreetly pressed into Suzanna’s palm.
That night, she experienced a severe allergic reaction that triggered a heart issue.
The prison rushed her to the city’s top hospital for emergency treatment.
The Shields family was notified and gathered anxiously in the hospital hallway.
Christina looked drained; the series of misfortunes had stripped her of the grace she once possessed as a
socialite.

“Look at this; even Carson has been thrown into prison because of her. With this on his record, how will he move forward?
“If anything happens to Suzie, I swear I’ll take it out on Melody!”
Twice now, he had stood outside the emergency room, anxiously waiting.
Inside, Suzanna continued to suffer, hanging between life and death, all because of Melody’s actions.
How could anyone withstand such torment?
After venting his frustration, Sean scanned the crowd in the hospital.
Timothy arrived late, his suit wrinkled and his usually neat hair disheveled.
Sean frowned; it was unusual for Timothy, the CEO of a finance company, to look so unkempt,
But under the circumstances, it was understandable.
Cameron was wheeled in by a butler, his expression dark and detached, yet his long fingers gripped the wheelchair’s armrests tightly, revealing his concern for his sister.
Sean felt a sense of satisfaction at that.
As for Carson…
Sean sighed.
Well, if his entertainment career was over, he could always find another path; the Shields children were all bright and talented, bound to excel in whatever they chose.
Derrick sat on a bench in the hallway, looking pale and weary, his once sharp and competent lawyer demeanor now diminished.
His bloodshot eyes were cast down, elbows resting on his thighs, hands covering his face, his expression grim.
After sitting there for so long, Derrick hadn’t even acknowledged him.
Clearly, Derrick was far too consumed with worry about Suzanna’s condition to face the reality of her declining health..
Sean fell silent.
He approached Christina, who was quietly sobbing in distress.
Gently, he turned her head to rest against his shoulder, whispering soothingly, “Christina, don’t worry. Suzie is our little blessing. She’s faced so many challenges before and always pulled through; she’ll be alright.”
Christina remained silent, her tears continuing to flow
