SON-IN-LAW GETS AN UPGRADE - Season 5 Episode 92

Heather and Carmen stayed by Lucas’ side at the hospital. Although he had not regained consciousness, they had not left either.

Both of them were displeased that Alex had left with Stanley, but they did not call him to chide him either.

After all, they did not want their relationship with Alex to sour.

The following morning. Lucas finally came to. Before he could rejoice, he noticed that he could not feel anything below his chest or move his limbs.

Lucas panicked.

Even though he could not feel any pain, the fact that he could not feel any sensation told him he was likely. paralyzed.

“Lucas, you’re awake!” Carmen exclaimed when she noticed that Lucas had opened his eyes.

“Mom, call a doctor over! I can’t move my body, not even a little bit! I think I might be paralyzed!” Lucas hurriedly instructed Carmen with a look of despair in his eyes.

Carmen’s face fell.

The previous night, before Lucas regained consciousness, she had harbored a sliver of hope that a miracle would happen.

When Lucas said that he was paralyzed, she nearly collapsed.

“Mom, call a doctor over! I don’t want to be paralyzed!” Lucas yelled.

Tears started rolling down Heather’s checks uncontrollably as she explained, “Lucas, the doctor won’t be coming. He said you’re paralyzed…”

She decided not to continue. The reality was too harsh, and she felt that Lucas could not take the blow.

“Don’t worry. We’ll definitely find a way to cure you!” Heather chirped.

Even she doubted her own words, not to mention Lucas.

When he heard what Heather said, Lucas started wailing for a long time.

Despair was written all over his face.

He knew what it meant to be paralyzed.

His life was finished. He would be better off dead!

He lost all will to live and wanted to end it all, but he could not muster the courage to bite off his tongue to commit suicide.

“Lucas, believe in me. I’ll definitely find a way to cure you!” Carmen sobbed.

Lucas did not respond and could not even be bothered to look Carmen in the eye.

At that point, Demi walked in with Jacob.

Demi had on a worried and pained expression. Her eyes were red, as though she had just been crying.

The moment she entered, tears flowed down her cheeks. She rushed to Lucas’ bedside and bawled, “Lucas, I heard you met with a car accident and nearly died of a heart attack! My grandson, how are you feeling?”

Although Heather did not like her grandmother, she was here to visit Lucas. So, she chose not to argue with her and explained, “Granny, Lucas’ injury is quite severe. He injured his spine and is in danger of paralysis, but we’ll definitely find a way to cure him.”

Lucas stared at his grandmother expressionlessly.

He had borne a grudge towards his grandmother. All these years, after their father died, their grandmother had expelled them from the family and was biased towards Brian’s family.

However, he had already lost all will to live. Since Demi was here to visit him, he could not be bothered to snap at her.

When he thought of how he would spend the rest of his life confined to a bed, he was overcome with

Sorrow.

Demi cried and berated herself, “Lucas, it’s all my fault. I should’ve cared more about you. When I heard of your accident, I really regretted everything. Your dad died early, and your family hasn’t had it well, so I thought I’d train your determination by not giving you guys a hand. However, all of you misunderstood my intentions… Don’t worry, Lucas. Granny has found you the best doctor in the world who can treat your spine and let you live a normal life!”

“Really?” Carmen turned to Demi eagerly.

Heather exclaimed, “Granny, did you really find such a great doctor?”

“Of course, it’s true. However, I have a condition that I hope you’d agree to, Heather,” Demi continued.
