Chapter 1311: 331: Unbelievable, my face has turned white! _5 Chapter 1311: 331: Unbelievable, my face has turned white! _5 At hearing this, Levi Thompson was left completely stunned.
If Ava Kamani hadn't spoken it herself, he would never believe that his mother could do such a thing.
He made a concerted effort to calm himself down, looked at Ava Kamani and asked, “Sis-in-law, how is Vicki really doing right now?”
Ava Kamani exhaled, “It's heat stroke. Although the symptoms are similar to a heat-related illness, this disease is far more serious. Even a perfectly healthy individual would be at risk of death if they contracted heat stroke, let alone Vicki with her already existing health conditions!”
While discussing this, Ava Kamani paused, “However, Levi, don't worry too much. The doctors said Vicki's condition, though grave, hasn't reached that extent. As long as Vicki's will to live remains strong, a miracle could take place.”
Miracle?
Upon hearing this, Levi Thompson felt as if all his strength had been drained from him in an instant.
If miracles could be expected, then they really wouldn't be miracles, would they?
Watching as Levi Thompson looked as if he was about to faint, Ava Kamani immediately supported him and said, “Levi, Rosalind and Vicki both really need you right now. You can't afford to collapse!”
Levi Thompson took a deep breath.
Indeed.
Ava Kamani was right.
This was not the time for him to give up.
He must withstand the situation.
A moment later, Levi Thompson said to Ava Kamani, “Sis-in-law, could you and second sis-in-law please take care of Rosalind and Vicki at the hospital? I need to go home.”
Ava Kamani nodded and then made a point to say, “Levi, you know your mother's temperament. Make sure you speak to her respectfully and avoid any arguments.”
“Okay.”
Before leaving the hospital, Levi Thompson took one last glance towards the Intensive Care Unit.
Thompson was lying on the hospital bed, hooked from head to toe to countless tubes, barely showing any signs of life.
“Vicki!”
Levi Thompson's eyes immediately reddened.
Vicki had been rather frail since birth.
However, she had never been this critical.
“Vicki!”
No matter how much Levi Thompson called out for Vicki from the outside, she inside the Intensive Care Unit gave no response.
She appeared as unaware of her surroundings as someone in a vegetative state.
Levi Thompson wiped away his tears and, with great effort, recomposed himself before leaving the hospital.
The drive from the hospital to the Thompson's old house took about half an hour.
The driver was driving quite fast.
However, it still wasn't fast enough for Levi Thompson.
“Hurry! Faster!”
Twenty minutes later, the car stopped at the old house's entrance.
Levi Thompson quickly got out of the car and rushed over to Lady Thompson's quarters.
Upon seeing Levi Thompson, Lady Thompson thought she was hallucinating.
“Levi! Why have you returned?”
Tears welled up in Levi Thompson's eyes, “If I hadn't returned, Vicki won't last much longer! Mother, do you even realize what you've done!”
Just thinking about his lively and energetic daughter now reduced to an unresponsive state was enough to make Levi Thompson's heart ache immensely.
“She's your only granddaughter! Why would you do this!”
Lady Thompson was full of anger.
She never expected her son to start blaming her immediately upon returning!
What happened to Vicki?
Didn't she simply faint?
Did his mother really appear less important to him than his daughter?
At this moment, Lady Thompson's heart ached tremendously, as though she'd been poured with a bucket of icy water on a freezing winter day.
She could barely breathe.
The strong-willed Lady Thompson could never have envisioned such a fall from grace.
“So, now you're also blaming me? Levi! Good job! What a great son you are!” Lady Thompson clutched her chest, “A child's failures are the fault of the parent! Half the responsibility for what's happened to Vicki falls on you!”
Levi Thompson's attitude had only confirmed Lady Thompson's belief that Vicki's character needed further molding.
As the future heir to the Thompson Clan, Vicki had to learn that she couldn't simply give in.
Only by doing so could she properly continue the Thompson legacy.
Levi Thompson held back his anger as he looked at his grey-haired mother, “Mother, Vicki's condition is extremely serious. I need you to come to the hospital with me. Once you see her, you'll understand.”
Lady Thompson snorted, “Levi, it's impressive how you and that bitch Rosalind can team up to deceive the very mother that gave birth to and raised you! Do you even have a conscience left!”
No wonder people say that a man forgets his mother once he has a wife.
Levi Thompson is a perfect example.
“Mother! What does it take for you to believe me at a time like this!” Levi Thompson was visibly shaking, “Fine! If you don't believe me, then be it! But don't say I didn't warn you when the time comes!”
