Chapter 1214 Do You Understand Me
Indeed, Jacqueline had a tumor.
While she was in a coma, a tumor grew in her brain. She had undergone several operations though she wasn’t aware of them, nor did she ever awaken then. Nevertheless, the few scars on her scalp beneath her wig were evidence.
The tumor in her brain was intractable and couldn’t be eradicated even through operations. The brain was the most mysterious part of the human body, so one couldn’t simply remove anything. Hence, the cancerous cells remained in her brain. Even Stanley, an expert neurologist, couldn’t root out everything but merely remove most of them.
In other words, her tumor would still regenerate after every operation to remove it since the cancerous cells remained, and the speed would also accelerate accordingly.
Half a year ago, the tumor in her brain corroded her corneas, causing her to almost lose her vision. Later, Jackson performed a cornea transplant for her.
Initially, she wanted Natalie’s corneas, but the latter was well-protected by Shane. She tried to kill her to obtain her corneas several times, but all her attempts failed. In the end, she had no choice but to accept the corneas Jackson found.
After the cornea transplant, she could see once again. Jackson told her that her eyes would last for a few years if she took good care of them.
Alas, she was forced to undergo training after teaming up with Sean. There was some poisonous gas during the training, and it went into her eyes. Consequently, a necrotic lesion of her cornea occurred way before it was supposed to happen, leading to her vision blacking out for a few seconds from time to time. What was more, that duration would only increase in the future.
All that was thanks to Sean.
Just you wait! I’m going to take my revenge on all of you, one by one. I’m going to gouge his eyes out so that he too, will get to experience the panic from losing one’s eyesight. That aside, I’m also going to have Natalie’s corneas transplanted into me. She may have escaped the last time, but I’m never going to allow her to do so again!
With those thoughts running through her mind, Jacqueline looked up and pinned a baleful gaze on Natalie, who was on the balcony of the third floor a stone’s throw away.
Sensing her malicious gaze, Natalie frowned.
It looks like I’m going to be living under the same roof with her again henceforth. Well, something is bound to happen.
“Put that look in your eyes away, lest you scare her!” Without warning, Sean kicked Jacqueline.
The blow struck Jacqueline in the waist, and she gave a painful grunt even as the hatred within her intensified.
Sean then eyed her as though she was a piece of trash. “I know you’re only concurring verbally while ignoring my warning inwardly and plotting to do her harm. However, mark my words—if I see a single scratch on her, I’m going to lay the blame at your door regardless of whether it was your doing! Do you understand me?”
At his words, Jacqueline’s eyes went wide. “How could you-”
“Do you understand me?” Sean bellowed sharply.
Shuddering, Jacqueline lowered her eyes. “Got it.”
I can’t be impulsive! No, I really can’t act recklessly. I don’t have the capability to go against him right now, so I’ve got to rein myself in. I must bear with it! When I’ve gotten his seal, I can then inflict all the humiliation I suffered today back on him!
Sean swept a derisive glance over the woman on the ground before retracting his gaze.
On the balcony on the third floor, Natalie had no idea of what transpired between the two of them or why Sean got physical with Jacqueline.
However, that was none of her business, and she didn’t care either.
Her utmost concern was still the helicopter.
She trained her gaze on the helicopter and saw that there was still someone inside. It was the pilot.
As there was a glass barrier between them, she couldn’t perceive the pilot’s countenance or gender.
I wonder whether I can bribe the pilot to help me escape.
While she was contemplating that, Sean suddenly gestured at the helicopter.
The helicopter instantly rose into the sky and flew away from the small island.
Natalie’s eyes dimmed at once.
All right, then. It seems that my idea of bribing the pilot isn’t going to work. He isn’t going to allow the helicopter to stay on the island. Besides, how could I possibly bribe the pilot when I don’t even have an opportunity to interact with that person?
