Chapter 815
David remained in a coma. In reality, he was awake, but the doctor had opted to keep him sedated to
shield him from potential emotional distress.
An hour elapsed, and Alyssa emerged from the room, flanked by the hospital director and two medical
professors. She wore a somber expression.
Victor hurried over and inquired, “Lyse, how’s David?”
The other family members, the secretaries, and the bodyguards surrounded the medical team as well.
Frowning, Alyssa hesitated before delivering the grim news, “Uncle Victor, the situation is not optimistic.
David has a severe fracture that’s challenging to mend. The chances of successful healing are close to
none, and there’s only a 20 percent probability of him ever walking again.”
The Schmidt family seemed devastated by the revelation. If not for Josh and Daisy supporting Victor,
he
might have collapsed.

“Ms. Alyssa, please save my brother’s legs, even if there’s only a one percent chance!” Josh pleaded
with
worry.
“Of course. I will try my best since I am here,” Alyssa promised. A hint of hesitation lingered in her
eyes.
Victor sensed that she had some unspoken thoughts and urged, “Lyse, speak your mind!”
She asked with a serious face, “Uncle Victor, are you sure that David’s leg fracture was caused by the
accident?”
The Schmidts were surprised by the question. Only Josh and Jameson looked pensive.
Startled, Victor wondered, “What do you mean?”
Alyssa began, “I treated multiple patients with bone fractures. I can tell the causes and even the
specific blunt force that led to the injuries.”
She then paused and lowered her voice, saying, “The fracture appears unnatural, almost deliberate-
perhaps inflicted by an object like a metal rod.”
Jameson’s expression darkened upon hearing that. His face turned white.
Casting a glance at Jameson, Josh speculated, “Ms. Alyssa, are you suggesting someone intentionally
injured him after the accident?”
Everyone gasped at the allegation
“Dad, seel I knew something was off about David’s accident,” Daisy asserted indignantly
Victor’s face fell as he struggled to grasp the reality
Alyssa clarified, “I don’t know for sure. I’m just highlighting my suspicions as a surgeon. I will perform a
Surgery on David in an hour
“It will be a long surgery, so Uncle Victor, you should go home or book a room at the KS World Hotel
nearby, I’ll inform you right away when the surgery’s done.”
Victor refused Alyssa’s thoughtful suggestion and insisted, “I’m not tired at all! I’ll wait here.”

it
would take,
The surgery extended longer than expected, running from 1 pm to 9 pm.
Finally, the lights of the operation theater turned off. Alyssa emerged from the room with the help of an
assistant. After hours of standing, she was drenched in sweat. Multiple towels were used to wipe away
her sweat. Even her legs were shaking.
Fortunately, she was able to sustain the demands as she was young and hardy.
Jameson approached her and gently held her. “Lyse! It must have been tough for you. You’re tired,
aren’t
you?”
“I’m fine. The surgery matters the most. Uh-” Alyssa gasped as a fainting spell hit her. Her body
trembled, and she struggled to stand.
“Lyse, look out!” Jameson, concerned/she might collapse, held her firmly by the waist.
