Chapter 0130
Just then, Suzy’s phone buzzed with a call from Charlotte. Glancing around to ensure she was alone, she answered quietly, “Aunt…”
“Suzy, you didn’t even tell me when something this serious happened?” Charlotte’s anxious voice came through. “If Mrs. Goodwin hadn’t filled me in, were you planning on keeping it from me altogether?”
Suzy rubbed her aching forehead. “I just hadn’t had a moment to spare.”
Charlotte sighed. “How’s Claude?”
“He’s still unconscious.”
“How could it be that bad? And that Dylan Wright–whatever issues he has with you, he had no right to go after someone in a wheelchair so ruthlessly.”
Suzy’s brow furrowed. “What do you mean?”
“Mrs, Goodwin called me. Apparently, one of the servants saw it happen. Dylan’s assistant suddenly let go of the wheelchair, which caused Claude to fall.”
So, he was really the culprit.
At the Goodwin estate, Suzy made her way straight to Martin. “Grandpa, there’s something strange about what happened with Mr. Harlow. I remember several staff members were present, speak to them to find out if anyone saw what really
Could I happened?”
Martin, always willing to help Suzy, nodded. “I’ll have the butler gather everyone who was there.”
Before long, a group of about a dozen staff members gathered in front of her.
Suzy scanned their faces, then asked in a clear voice, “You were all there that day. Did anyone see what happened that caused Mr. Harlow’s wheelchair to tip over so suddenly?”
Silence fell over the room.
Suzy’s tone sharpened. “This incident impacts both the Goodwin and Harlow families. Since it happened on our property, we bear responsibility. If the Harlows choose to hold us accountable, it won’t end well for this household. Is that what you want?”
Finally, a young maid, around twenty, with a round face and an honest demeanor, raised her hand. “I… I saw what happened.”
Suzy stepped closer. “Tell me everything you saw.

The young maid bit her lip before speaking. “I saw the man pushing the wheelchair suddenly let go as they started down the hill.”
Suzy’s gaze turned sharp. “Are you certain?”
“Yes. I was standing right beside them, so I saw it clearly. He released the wheelchair, which caused Mr. Harlow’s chair to tip over.
Just as the maid finished, Suzy’s phone rang. It was the hospital. “Miss Frost, Mr. Harlow’s condition has worsened. You need to come immediately.”
Those words, “his condition has worsened,” stopped Suzy’s heart for a beat.
She rushed to the hospital without a second thought.
When she arrived, Claude was barely clinging to life. His gaze held hers, filled with regret. ” Suzy… I won’t be able to stay with you much longer.”
“No, d
don’t say that. I won’t let anything happen to you…” Suzy took out another life- saving pill. “Take this, and you’ll be alright.”
Claude shook his head faintly. “It won’t help. I know my own condition. I wanted to be there for you, to be the brother you lost, to walk this life by your side. But I’m afraid I’ll have to break that promise.”
Seeing tears slip down his cheek, Suzy’s own tears spilled over. “If you don’t want to leave, then fight. Hold on, just like you did after the accident when you made it against all odds. You can do it again…”
Her voice broke as his breathing grew shallow and uneven. “Please, don’t leave me. You’re the only family I have left. I’m begging you… don’t go.”
