Taking Back What My Sister Stole novel Chapter 50

He turned his head and saw his wife kneeling on the floor, and behind her, a man on the sofa was snoring thunderously.

“You…” He sat up, his brows furrowing deeply. “What are you doing?”

Kneeling–what was she trying to do?

Priscilla’s legs had long since gone numb. She spoke calmly, with her hoarse and dry voice.

“Wesley, I beg you to forgive me.

As Amelia had said, only when Wesley forgave her could she get up.

So she pleaded for his forgiveness.

Wesley’s face was as cold as water. He strode down from the hospital bed, pressed his hand on Priscilla’s shoulder, and lifted her up.

The numb legs sent a sharp pain through her as he did so.

Priscilla’s face turned pale, and cold sweat instantly beaded on her forehead.

Wesley didn’t dare to use more force. In a deep voice, he said, “Sit on the floor.”

Priscilla did not move and her black–and–white eyes were numb and hollow.

“Will you forgive me?”

With a poker face, Wesley wrapped his arm around her waist and

forced her to sit on the floor.

He lifted her pant leg, revealing a large bruise on her knee.

It was the mark left from kneeling for a long time.

Wesley’s thin lips pressed with anger. Without expressions, he stood up and kicked the man on the sofa awake.

The man, who had been sleeping soundly, was startled awake. He was about to curse when he saw the person standing before him.

He scrambled off the sofa, stammering, “Mr. Carlton.”

“Say.” Wesley uttered a single word, which was laced with murderous intent.

The doctor dared not delay and quickly recounted what Amelia had done.

“Your mom said that Mrs. Carlton must kneel until you wake up and only get up after receiving your forgiveness.”

Wesley’s heart trembled.

How could his mother do such a thing?

And the man before him–how dare he sleep so soundly here?

The doctor tried to excuse himself: “Mr. Carlton, your mom instructed me to watch over Mrs. Carlton. I couldn’t stay awake through the night and somehow fell asleep.”

Before he finished speaking, he received another kick in the stomach.

Wesley, full of anger, looked down at him. “Who are you, uh? How dare you bully her?”

The way the man slept was not that of someone who couldn’t stay awake–he was clearly enjoying himself.

“Mr. Carlton, Mr. Carlton, it really was Madam’s order. I was just following instructions,” the doctor pleaded.

At this moment, he realized he had made a grave mistake.

Priscilla had not fallen out of favor, she was still the distinguished Mrs. Carlton.

“Get out. Don’t let me see you again,” Wesley said angrily.

The doctor endured the pain and crawled up to leave.

“The photos.”

Priscilla, who had been watching indifferently, finally spoke.

The doctor’s expression changed slightly as he remembered his foolish

act.

Wesley sensed something was wrong and strode over to the man. “What photos?”

“I… I don’t… There’s nothing…” The doctor tried to lie.

Priscilla looked up and her expression was as calm às ever. “I think Mr. Carlton would be willing to pay for the photos in your possession. After all, I am still Mrs. Carlton in name, and I represent his reputation.”

The man’s face turned ashen.

Wesley took the phone and saw the photos.

He could hardly believe his eyes.

In the photos, Priscilla was kneeling upright on the floor, facing his direction…

“Bang!”

The phone was smashed against the wall and fell to the ground, shattering into pieces.

“Priscilla.”

The anger Wesley had felt over yesterday’s incident had completely dissipated.

He bent down, picked Priscilla up, and placed her on the bed. The veins on his forehead bulged. “She told you to kneel and you just did it? Didn’t you know you could get up on your own?”

“If I got up, she would go to disturb Grandma.”

“I needed an answer to ensure Madam wouldn’t bother Grandma.”

She stated it simply and directly.

Wesley’s throat tightened, and he was at a loss for words.

It was four thirty.

The entire floor of doctors and nurses became busy.

Because Wesley had woken up and, upon seeing his wife’s miserable state, he was burning with rage.

Everett rushed over and, under Wesley’s orders, issued stern warnings to all the doctors and nurses, and thoroughly checked all phones and surveillance footage.

He made sure that no information about Priscilla kneeling would be

leaked.

Then, everyone was to be demoted.

Priscilla listened to the commotion outside and felt neither joy nor

If Wesley didn’t do this, it would be his own reputation at stake.

“Mrs. Carlton.” The doctor who came to check Priscilla’s knee was trembling with fear, but still mustered the courage to say, “Could you please ask Mr. Carlton to show us some mercy, we…”
