?Chapter 1582:
Ethan’s presence chilled the room, his eyes shing with restrained fury as he red at the disheveled woman on the floor. “Why didn’t you look after her properly?”
M Haynes, Rosanna’s mother, was a retired ountant. She had loved ying cards her whole life.
She loved her granddaughter deeply, buttely, Rosanna had been venting about how Elsa’s parenting shed with hers, sparking constant arguments. M, too, had gripes about Elsa, telling Rosanna that Elsa was condescending and looked down on them. Egged on, Rosanna had grown even more resentful toward Elsa, eventually convincing Kenny to drive her away.
No one could have predicted this disaster. Rosanna’s prejudice against Elsa and blind trust in her mother had led to Emmie’s condition.
Ethan’s stare cut into M, cold and unyielding.
“I… I thought… she’s only five months old. She can’t crawl. She was safe in her stroller. As long as she was fed, I figured a quick game wouldn’t matter,” M stammered.
Just then, the door opened, and Jerry rk, a leading neurosurgeon in his fifties, walked in holding Emmie’s CT and MRI scans. Everyone moved toward him.
M spoke first, her voice trembling. “Doctor, how is she? Can you save her?”
Elsa’s fury snapped. “Save her? Look at what you’ve done! If Emmie can’t recover, I will make you pay!”
The doctor’s expression was grim as he replied, “The child’s brain has taken a devastating blow. There are severe clots and widespread tissue damage. If she’d been brought in right away, surgery might have been possible. But now, it is toote for that. No treatment we have can repair this. Your only chance is Ocoxo Hospital in Norview. Their neurosurgery team is among the best.”
Brenna took the scans, her practiced eyes moving over every detail. Though she rarely used her medical training, everyone knew her skills. All eyes were fixed on her.
Ethan asked, “Brenna, what about that drug you have for cardiovascr and brain cases? Could it help?”
Brenna shook her head. “Once brain tissue is damaged like this, recovery is nearly impossible. Even with specialized drugs, it won’t change anything.”

The room sank into despair, and the anger toward M thickened.
Elsa broke down, hurling herself at M with fists and kicks. “You have destroyed her! She was such a perfect child, and you ruined her! I’m going to kill you!”
Kenny dragged his mother back. “Mom, stop! Hurting her won’t save Emmie.”
M dropped to her knees, pping herself again and again. “It’s all my fault…”
The doctor soon left.
Rosanna copsed into Kenny’s arms, sobbing. He held her tightly. “There’s still a chance. We can’t give up. Ethan already contacted that hospital. Let’s book flights now.” He pulled out his phone to search for tickets.
