How to Destroy a Cheater Without Saying Goodbye novel Chapter 90

"Watch out, ma'am!"

Blanche felt someone shove her forward. Lauren, quick as ever, caught her just in time and pulled her safely to her side.

Healy, however, wasn't so lucky. He couldn't get his balance and fell hard onto the floor, letting out a piercing scream.

"Master Healy!" The butler rushed over and scooped the boy into his arms.

Blanche froze, then stared in horror. Healy's forehead had struck the ground directly, splitting open his skin—blood poured down his face, the sight enough to make her heart stop.

Her voice trembled as she barked out orders, "Quick, get him to the hospital!"

She forced herself to remain calm, turning to Lauren. "Go tell Mrs. Loraine and Eddy what happened." Without waiting for a reply, she took Healy from the butler's arms, cradling him tightly as Vesta steadied her. The four of them hurried out to the waiting family van.

The butler jumped into the driver's seat and sped off, tires squealing.

Blanche's whole body shook with terror. She clung to Healy, who looked so pale and fragile in her arms, barely conscious. Tears streamed down her cheeks.

"It hurts, Mom…" Healy whimpered, his little body shivering.

Blanche's heart ached at the sound. "Don't be scared, sweetheart. I'm right here. I won't let anything happen to you."

She grabbed a tissue from Vesta, pressing it firmly against the wound to stem the bleeding. "Call Eddy now! Tell him to get the best doctors ready at the hospital. Nothing can happen to Healy, do you hear me?"

Vesta didn't hesitate—she called Eddy right away, explaining the emergency as calmly as she could.

"Mom, I'm sorry, I—" Healy looked up at Blanche, guilt welling in his eyes. He remembered how, just a moment ago, he'd tried to push his mother. If she'd fallen, would she have been hurt just like him?

The shame crept deep inside, making his eyes sting even more.

"Save your strength, darling. Don't talk."

Blanche pressed her cheek to his cold, clammy face. "I know it's not your fault. Someone's been filling your head with bad ideas. That's why you lashed out at Tia, why you sided with that strange boy. When you're older, you'll understand what's right and wrong. I know my Healy is the best there is."

Her tears slid down Healy's face, bitter and cold, leaving a salty trail to his lips.
