My Wife’s Cruel Secret and My Sister’s Death Chapter 05 Agony Under Spotlight

Chire, who had been standing only moments earlier, suddenly collapsed onto the floor.

Her face twisted in pain.

The livestream comments filled with question marks.

[What happened to Ms. Bennett? Did something go wrong with the surgery?]

[No way. Dr. Hayes performed it himself.]

Lucas hurried to help Claire up and faced the camera.

“The surgery went perfectly. Claire just stood for the first time in years, so her body needs time to adjust

“This is normal. No one needs to worry.”

Claire’s face was tight with pain.

“Lucas, is this really normal? My legs are numb, but they hurt at the same time.

“And why can’t I control them?”

“You’ve been paralyzed for three years,” he said quickly. “You can’t expect everything to be perfect all at once. Your body needs time. Just give it a little while.”

He tried desperately to calm her down.

Inside, he was terrified.

With his reassurance, Claire forced herself to stay in the wheelchair and wait.

But the pain kept getting worse.

Then her entire body started shaking uncontrollably.

Panic finally took over.

“Why can’t I stop shaking? Lucas, what is happening to me? Was there really something wrong with the surgery?”

Someone who knew the procedure left a comment on the livestream.

[I’m a doctor at Westbridge Medical Center. I remember Dr. Carter saying this surgery wasn’t supposed to cause side effects. What’s happening to Ms. Bennett?]

Claire saw the comment and panicked even more.

My warning came back to her.

Her face went white as she turned on Lucas.

“Was this surgery really developed by Seren?”

expression tightened for a split second.

Then he forced himself back to normal.

The second Claire gave him that doubtful look, his eyes turned red and he put on this hurt little look.

“Claire, you don’t trust me?

“Do you really think I’d gamble with your legs? There has to be some kind of misunderstanding. I woul never do that to you.”

In the end, Claire chose to believe him.

She took painkillers and ended the livestream.
