Chapter 553 I Think You

Are Bleeding

The possibility of Carol injuring Myla unsettled Cruz.

From her vantage point, Linsey watched the unfolding drama, raising an eyebrow in surprise.

It appeared that Cruz held a deep affection for his wife.

In his eyes, Jeffery and Carol seemed to matter less, almost as if he was indifferent to their well-being

This indifference was evident when he slapped Carol harshly and scolded her, instead of comforting her.

Myla, however, was truly worried about her children.

Yet, this worry was clearly not enough to erase the damage Cruz had caused to Carol.

Carol responded with a derisive snicker, "Well...”

Jeffery, overwhelmed by the escalating situation, shut his eyes. He inhaled deeply and moved toward Carol again, his voice gentle. "Carol, let's head home. We can sort everything out there, okay?"

Carol's gaze was vacant, and she said nothing.

Jeffery paused, then tentatively reached for Carol's arm.

With surprising strength, Carol pushed Jeffery away.

The sound of the impact was loud.

Jeffery was thrust against the edge of a nearby cabinet.

Pain shot through his lower back, causing him to cry out and his complexion to blanch.

"Jeffery!" Myla cried out, hurrying to her son's support and helping him to his feet.noveldrama

Carol shot a chilling look towards Linsey. “Just you wait, Linsey. You won't get away with this," she said, then stormed off, disregarding her brother completely.

Linsey merely shrugged at Carol's threat, her attention casually returning to Jeffery, who was still recovering

from the fall.

"Carol..." Jeffery's voice trailed off as he felt a sharp increase in the pain around his waist.

"Jeffery, are you all right? Can you get up? Where does it hurt?" Myla's voice was filled with concern as she looked anxiously into his face.

Cruz watched Carol's departing back and advised Jeffery, "Let's not focus on your sister right now. Give her some space to cool down."

He then observed Jeffery's pale face and asked with a frown, "Is your injury severe?"

Nearby, Linsey noticed Jeffery's condition seemed worse than expected.

It was only a small bump, yet he appeared unusually pale.

"I'm okay..." Jeffery muttered, downplaying the agony in his waist from Carol's shove as he tried to bear the pain. "Mom, Dad, maybe we should send someone to check on Carol. I'm worried about her."

Cruz responded with a snort of frustration, "She needs to learn to manage her temper on her own. She's too impulsive, speaking without thinking."

He looked at Jeffery and added, "I think this may be mainly because you've been too lenient with her."

"Dad, you know Carol suffers from a heart condition," Jeffery responded with a hint of desperation, grimacing from the pain.

"Let's help you up," Myla said as she gripped Jeffery's arm, ready to assist him.

As Jeffery attempted to shift, a sudden spike in pain shot through his lower back, making him groan and sweat beads on his forehead.

It was then that Linsey, who had been silent, noticed and spoke up. "Jeffery, I think you are bleeding."
