Chapter 361 Make Him a Fool!

Lyman had a car accident on his way back from Aelcoast.

The driver of the Hilliard family, Colson, died on the spot. He was rushed to the hospital, his life hanging in the balance.

Upon receiving a call from Justin, Penelope's legs went so weak that she could barely stand. She kept telling herself that he was lying to her. After all, he had a history. He had even lied to her before about Lyman's death. She shouldn't believe him.

However, she also knew in her heart that if Lyman hadn't had an accident, he would have already come to help Ethan celebrate his birthday by now.

Penelope had taken the call on the balcony, which Ethan hadn't heard. However, when she returned to the living room after finishing the call, a clear look of worry still lingered on Ethan's face.

"Mom, was that a call from my younger uncle? What exactly happened to him? Why hasn't he come over yet?"

Penelope didn't want Ethan to worry, so she feigned calmness and rubbed Ethan's little head, "Ethan, your uncle is fine. He just has a temporary meeting to attend and won't be able to come back tonight."

"Ethan, when your uncle returns, he will make up for your birthday. He also said that he has prepared a particularly interesting birthday gift for you. He asked me to wish you a happy birthday on his behalf!"

"Really?" Ethan lifted his face, looking at Penelope with suspicion.

Although Ethan was only four years old at the time, his thoughts were much deeper than those of an average child. He clearly didn't quite believe Penelope's words.

"Mom, Uncle wanted to wish me a happy birthday, why didn't he just tell me directly on the phone, why did he need you to convey it?"

"This..."

Penelope was at a loss for words, for a moment, she really didn't know how to respond to Ethan.

After a good while, she finally spoke with a stiff smile, "Ethan, your uncle is really too busy now. It was his assistant who just called me, he has already gone to a meeting, so he couldn't personally wish you a happy birthday."

"Ethan, happy birthday! Shall we start eating the cake now?"

Ethan still had some doubts about Penelope's words, but seeing the caution in her eyes, he still spoke with a bright and sunny smile, "Alright, mom, Aunt Corona, let's eat cake!"

"Ethan was very happy. Having mom and Aunt Corona celebrate my birthday with me, Ethan was already very, very happy! In the future, every one of Ethan's birthdays, he wants to spend with mom and Aunt Corona!"

Penelope's eyes stung with tears. She didn't respond to Ethan, just ate her cake in big bites.

She had always wanted to spend a lifetime of birthdays with Ethan, but she no longer had a lifetime.

After hearing Ethan's words, Corona couldn't help but have her eyes well up with tears.

She also desperately wished to celebrate every future birthday of Ethan's with Penelope, but deep down, she knew that her best friend might not have much time left.

Corona took a deep breath. It was Ethan's birthday, such a festive day, she didn't want the atmosphere to be too sad. She forced a big smile and said, "Penelope, the cake you ordered is really delicious! Ethan, hurry up and eat the cake!"

Saying this, Corona smeared some cream on Ethan's nose. With a gentle swipe, Ethan's little face instantly turned into a little flower cat.

Ethan had cream smeared all over his face by Corona, he also quickly grabbed a handful of cream and smeared it on her face.

Seeing Corona's face also covered in cream, Ethan immediately bent over laughing. After a moment of thought, he quickly grabbed a handful of cream and smeared it on Penelope's face.

Penelope had been smeared with cream and she was determined to get it back from Ethan.

Three people were chasing each other, vying to smear cream on each other's faces. The large living room was filled with constant laughter and joy.

Looking at Ethan and Corona, their faces smeared with cream, Penelope's eyes crinkled with laughter. However, in her unparalleled, sparkling eyes, she couldn't help but feel a bit teary.

Such laughter and joy, it was truly precious.

She really, really wished to spend her lifetime with Ethan, laughing and playing around. But this fleeting joy was too illusory. When the day of parting came, what would Ethan do!

Penelope wiped away the moisture at the corner of her eyes forcefully, she didn't want Ethan to see through her thoughts. She laughed hard, continuing to play around with them.

No matter what tomorrow would bring, at the very least, the joy and happiness of this moment, she would forever etch in her heart.

Penelope was extremely worried about Lyman's condition. She desperately wanted to rush to the hospital to see how he was doing, but she was also concerned that Ethan would be upset if he found out. So, she waited until she had put Ethan to sleep and left Corona to watch over him, before she hurriedly hailed a taxi to the hospital.

On the way, she kept praying in her heart, hoping that Lyman would turn misfortune into blessing...

This time to Aelcoast, Justin did not go with Lyman.

After Lyman was sent to the hospital, the first ones to receive the news and rush to the hospital were him and Lola.

Lola and Lyman were in the same hospital. She was severely injured this time, having difficulty even getting out of bed. However, she was so eager to see his miserable state that she struggled to get out of bed. With Ruby's support, she managed to catch a glimpse of him before he was wheeled into the emergency room.

Lyman's situation was very different from what she had imagined.

The car accident involving Lyman was orchestrated by her.

She found out that Ralph's falling out with her was all orchestrated by Lyman. Thinking about how he repeatedly helped Penelope against her, and even attempted to persuade Dalton to have a paternity test with Penelope, she could no longer tolerate his existence in this world.

So, knowing that Colson's son was waiting for over a million to have a life-saving surgery, she bribed him with two million, asking him to stage a car accident to get rid of Lyman.

Colson and Lyman were in the same car, he knew that if he deliberately caused a car accident, he would also die.

But he wanted his son to live more, so he chose to go against his conscience. On the way back to Sea City, he deliberately drove off the road, crashing through the guardrail.

Despite all of Lola's calculations, she never anticipated that Colson would die on the spot, while Lyman would only suffer a minor concussion.

He was rushed into the emergency room for at most an hour before he was transferred to a general ward.

Looking at Lyman, who had almost no visible injuries on his body, Lola was seething with anger.

Even if this car accident didn't kill him, she wouldn't let him off easily!

The Plan A did not succeed, Lola had no choice but to initiate Plan B.

She took the injection that she had asked Ruby to prepare for her in advance, and step by step, she walked towards Lyman.

"Lyman, don't blame me, blame yourself for always siding with Penelope, against me! You like to help her, don't you? I'd like to see, after I inject you with this medicine and you become a fool, even worse than a three-year-old child, how you can still oppose me!"

"Don't worry, no one will suspect me! A mild concussion, not too serious, but there's still a chance of becoming stupid! Lyman, you better prepare to be a fool for the rest of your life!"

Saying this, Lola forcefully jabbed the sharp needle into Lyman's arm.
