Chapter 1644: Chapter 1647: Michelle Carter’s Fate (Extra 5)
Brandon Lucas was so enraged by Michelle Carter’s words that his nose nearly went crooked.
He slapped Michelle Carter so hard she was sent flying. Before he could step forward, the five mentally ill men who had just abused Michelle Carter immediately crowded around her.
“Oh, look who’s back again… Quick, put her on the bed. I was the last one earlier; now I’ll go first.”
“Pah! You’re seeing things. That’s no woman—it’s clearly a sow. This sow is mine first. The rest of you, back off!”
The five mentally ill men completely ignored Brandon Lucas and the group around him.
With chaotic hands and feet, they lifted the unconscious Michelle Carter, struck down by Brandon Lucas, and moved her towards the bed.
The police were right there, and naturally couldn’t just watch them “commit a crime.” They immediately stepped up to restrain the five men, wrapped Michelle Carter in a bedsheet, and rescued her.
“Sir, your wife seems to be mentally unstable. Could she have been set up? Don’t be afraid; if there’s anything you know, tell us. We’ll severely punish the culprits.”
“No, no… no one set her up,” Brandon Lucas wished fervently to minimize the situation as much as possible.
Even if he suspected that this situation was undoubtedly connected to Mrs. Redington, who had taken Michelle Carter, he was unwilling to investigate further.
He even felt that the police, the doctors, and the bodyguards around him were all looking at him with ill intentions.
They seemed to be staring intently at a specific part of him.
Hidden within their gazes, he could sense sarcasm and mockery.
“My wife wasn’t set up; she’s always been ill, mentally unstable.” Brandon Lucas now felt nothing but extreme disgust toward Michelle Carter.
This woman not only had been tainted by other men but also brought utter humiliation upon Brandon Lucas.
Michelle Carter wouldn’t just be his disgrace; she’d also tarnish Austin Lucas.
He would never allow such a woman to drag him and his son down.
“Doctor, I originally planned to bring her here for treatment today anyway. You’ve seen it—she’s mentally ill. Please, take care of it and temporarily lock her away so she doesn’t harm the other patients.”
Brandon Lucas shot a glance at the Chief Physician in tacit understanding. That chief, not wanting to take the blame, immediately agreed, “Yes, yes… This lady’s condition is severe and indeed requires isolated treatment. Rest assured, our hospital’s Psychiatry Department is highly renowned; your wife will receive proper care.”
The police, though sensing something off about the situation,
were powerless since the person involved was clearly unstable, and the family chose not to pursue the matter. They had no choice but to leave.
As for Michelle Carter, she was personally sent into the Psychiatry Department by Brandon Lucas and never came out again.
A week later, Brandon Lucas claimed that the treatment at this hospital’s psychiatry facility wasn’t effective and had Michelle Carter transferred to a nursing home in another city.
Many years later, after Brandon Lucas passed away, Austin Lucas finally learned the whereabouts of Michelle Carter from him.
When he brought Michelle Carter back, the woman who had once lived a pampered life was already reduced to skin and bones from the abuse she endured at the nursing home.
Not only that, but she no longer recognized even the son she had once been so proud of, irreversibly lost in madness.
…
At this very moment, as Michelle Carter was being confined in the ward under the pretext of mental instability,
upstairs, Zara Lucas’s surgery had already been completed.
As the anesthesia wore off, she slowly regained consciousness.
“You’re awake…” The nurse was delighted to see Zara Lucas open her eyes and approached with excitement. “You scared me to death earlier. You almost didn’t make it.”
Zara Lucas looked at the nurse in confusion and asked, “I… what happened to me?”
She remembered her stomach hurting terribly, remembered being kicked to the ground by Brandon Lucas,
then recalled being tossed out somehow…
After that, everything was a blur.
