Chapter 138
Maricela smiled slightly, “Whether it’s the house or luxury goods, if she wants them, take them back, I don’t care, what I care about is just the bond between us, years later still unbreakable, I hope when we’re fifty, sixty, eighty, we can still sit together drinking and chatting like now.”
Cedrick’s eyes actually reddened slightly, he gave Maricela a gentle smile, “Don’t worry, definitely won’t treat you unfairly, once the local police station withdraws the case, I’ll make new arrangements.”

Harlan was happy, “I told you!
Cedrick won’t abandon you, believe it now?”
Maricela felt a surge of joy, is there still hope?
But on her face, she still showed a worried look, “Then Lucille… won’t she be angry?”
“Don’t mind her.”
Cedrick said, “If she’s angry, she can only be angry, later I’ll coax her, give her more money, and it’ll be fine.”
After saying that, he laughed again, “When she’s sick, she stays in a single room, hires a top nurse, travels business class, everything in life from food to clothing to shelter, I’ve spoiled her to demand the best, how can she leave me?
Without me, life would be a problem.”
“Then… that’s good… I was really worried you and Lucille would clash…” Maricela coquettishly smiled, but in her heart, she was gnashing her teeth: why give her more money!
Why give her the best!
Why haven’t you divorced her yet!
Only after divorce can everything possibly be mine!
She’s lived the high life these five years, while I suffered abroad!

Why should she!
All this was originally mine!
It’s mine!
I’m so pissed off!
David raised his glass, “Come on!
May we still be like this at eighty, sitting together drinking and chatting!”
“Come on!”
Cedrick picked up his glass, smiling, and clinked it hard with the other three, “To good brothers!
You’ll always be my good brothers!”
Lucille stayed in the hospital for four days.
On the fourth day, her wound healed well, the doctor removed the stitches, and told her she could be discharged.
And that day, Grandma called her with good news: her package arrived at home, and from the cover, it was her passport sent over.
Lucille felt a surge of joy, “Okay, Grandma, wait for me,
I’ll go
home today.”
After her head wound healed, she could move freely, but Mylee still needed to stay a few more days; since Lucille was going back to Grandma’s, she told Mylee to rest easy and not worry about her.
She handled the discharge herself, first went to the clinic, hadn’t come for acupuncture for days, hadn’t done rehab for days, and probably couldn’t for a long time, so she needed to tell the doctor.
At the clinic, she explained her situation to the doctor, and that she might go away in about a week, so she couldn’t continue the treatment.
Mary felt a bit regretful, “Actually, from your acupuncture and rehab sessions, the response was quite good. Rehab is a long process; some take a year, some two, some even three to five years. No one gets better in a few days. Honestly, I’m not 100% sure if you’ll walk again, but giving up means you have zero chance.”

“I know, Mary, but…” Lucille pondered; on one side, a one percent chance of recovery, on the other, a hundred percent chance of a new life. She quickly decided, “Mary, I still plan to stop for now.”
