Chapter 812

The driver died on the spot, and the bodyguard sitting in the passenger seat was still in the emergency

room, but his chances of survival were slim.

Charles sat in the back, narrowly escaping death as the collision point was at the front of the car. His

face was almost disfigured from the shattered glass shards, and his head was covered in blood.

However, he permanently lost both his legs due to a comminuted fracture.

Lance consulted surgeons all over the country, but none of them could make Charles stand up again!

The family sat in the living room, each with gloomy expressions.

Astrid sobbed. While it was unsure whether her tears were sincere, the emotions were there. “How

could it be? That road was so smooth. Charles always took that route. How did the accident happen?”

The air felt heavy.

Christopher sat at the side, as if it had nothing to do with him, and crossed his legs. He gracefully drank

coffee and remarked, “Even if he takes that route daily, it doesn’t decrease the chances of an accident.

These are two different matters, Astrid.”

Astrid wiped her tears with a napkin, glancing at Christopher with a dark gaze. “Charles got into a

severe accident, but you sound quite happy. Did you finally get what you wanted?”

“Not really.”

Christopher put down his cup and adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses.” I’m just an emotionally stable

person. I don’t need to cry here as if Charles had already died.”

“You!” Astrid’s eyes reddened, and she trembled with anger.

“Enough! You’ve been fighting since you were children. Don’t you get sick of it?! Astrid, Charles is lying

in the hospital, but you can’t think of a way to help him. You’re just causing trouble! Do you think our

family isn’t chaotic enough?” Lance slammed his fist on the sofa’s armrest.

After a scolding, Astrid shivered, stopped crying, and glared fiercely at Christopher.

Christopher thought about it and said slowly, “Dad, I have an idea that might help Charles’ legs.”

Everyone focused their attention on him.

Lance’s eyes lit up. He leaned forward. “Christopher! Tell me quickly!”

“Bella has another identity as an outstanding surgeon. She recently performed an extremely

challenging brain surgery for Justin Salvador. She’s known as Dr. Brown in the medical field.”

James suddenly raised his head, staring coldly at Christopher’s calm face, and gritted his teeth.

“Perhaps I could ask Bella if she’s willing to help. If a renowned surgeon like her could perform surgery

on Charles, he might have a slim chance to regain movement,” Christopher suggested sincerely.

“What!? Bella is also a surgeon? She did brain surgery for Justin, too?

Is this real?” Lance felt that it was unbelievable.

The girl he had watched grow up was noble and prestigious, but how could she have such exceptional

medical skills?

If it were true, an outstanding woman like Bella should be his daughter -in-law!

“Of course. I’m not the only one who knows. It’s just that Bella likes to keep a low profile.”

“Great… That’s great!”

Lance finally had a glimmer of hope. His gaze at Christopher turned from coldness to excitement and

praise. “Christopher, come with me to Hatchbay tomorrow. We’ll plead for Bella to help Charles!”

“Sure, Dad.” Christopher agreed readily.

“Christopher, you’ve always been close to Bella. Even if she doesn’t care about me, she should agree

to help for your sake, right?” Lance even spoke gently to this son he had always looked down upon.

“She is a kind doctor. Even without me, I believe she would lend a helping hand.” Christopher smiled

humbly.

Lance flattered him, yet he did not act arrogant. Instead, he appeared modest.

Lance nodded approvingly. James took in their interaction and gritted his teeth.

After the family meeting, Christopher happily headed toward his room.

“Stop.”
