Chapter 4: I Said I Bring Good Luck

The Cooper family was speechless. Hailey was so angry that she almost fainted on the spot. Debra interrupted. "Why don't you wait until you finish greeting your elders?" She deliberately lowered her voice. "Don't let them make fun of us." Wesley's marriage wasn't a big deal. After all, he was just a vegetable who wouldn't live much longer. But unexpectedly, he suddenly woke up. The situation of the Cooper family would also change from now on. So everyone rushed over. This hall was filled with Wesley's elders. Because it involved shares, even distant relatives came. Sandra was not moved. She wouldn't compromise. Otherwise, she would be in a weak position. "Are you saying that these elders should give me gifts first?" Debra's heart trembled. Even though she was Wesley's stepmother, she didn't dare to offend so many people. But Sandra had a smug look as if to say, "I come from the countryside and don't understand everything, so you have to explain clearly." Debra was furious. Wesley looked at Sandra in surprise. They had agreed that once he recovered, they would get a divorce. But Sandra was obviously afraid that he or the Cooper family wouldn't keep their promise. So she deliberately offended everyone from the start. If she wanted a divorce later, even if he refused, these people would pressure him to do so. Sandra was cunning and calculating. "Mrs. Debra Cooper!" Suddenly, a maid ran out of the nearby house. She was in such a hurry that she almost fell. Debra, who was already angry, roared, "What are you panicking for?" The maid was so scared that she fell to her knees. "Mr. Victor Cooper..." The maid was referring to Wesley's father, Victor Cooper. Eight years ago, Victor suddenly fell seriously ill, and he had been bedridden ever since. Because of Victor's condition, the Cooper family nearly fell apart. Then Wesley became a vegetable, and the Cooper family was almost divided by others. Now, if Victor died, the Cooper family would be even worse off. They ignored Sandra and hurriedly went to Victor's room. A woman came out of the room, wearing a white coat. When she took off her mask, a delicate and beautiful face was revealed. Her pretty eyes lit up when she saw Wesley. But they quickly went dim with sorrow. "Madam Cooper, I'm so sorry..." She sighed. "If Mr. Victor Cooper still doesn't wake up, we can announce... brain death." Elizabeth Young grew up in a medical family and had studied medicine since she was a child. She was known as one of the youngest female authoritative surgeons in Helwanis. Sandra dropped her cane to the ground. She stumbled back, her vision blurred. Almost in that instant, the relatives of the Cooper family burst into tears. But it was uncertain how sincere their tears were. Sandra had just arrived and had no strong feelings for Victor, so she remained expressionless and seemed out of place. The others immediately seized the opportunity. "She said she brings good luck, didn't she?" "Yes, but she brought back luck to Victor." "Now I understand why the Hill family prefers a fake daughter over a real one. It turns out she's a disaster." "They should get a divorce before the news gets out." "She's a murderer." Suddenly, a cold voice interrupted them. "Humph, how did I not know that the Cooper family is controlled by outsiders?" Wesley's words sent chills down everyone's spine. They couldn't help but shiver. Before Wesley became a vegetable, he supported the Cooper family single-handedly! He even led the Cooper family to the peak of Geniston once again. Since he spoke up for Sandra, no one dared to retort. "What are you doing?!" Elizabeth's sharp voice suddenly sounded. Everyone realized that Sandra had already entered the room when Wesley scolded them. "Madam Cooper, she wants to harm Mr. Victor Cooper!" When everyone rushed into the room, they saw Elizabeth holding Sandra's wrist. Sandra sneered. "What evidence do you have to prove that I harmed Mr. Victor Cooper?" Elizabeth waited until everyone had entered the room before pointing to Victor's head. "You just inserted those silver needles into Mr. Victor Cooper's head! If the slightest mistake occurs, Mr. Victor Cooper..." She didn't finish her sentence, but everyone understood. Now, there were more than a dozen silver needles in Victor's head. Sandra gave a cold snort and withdrew her hand. Elizabeth's face darkened. "What else do you want to do?" Sandra was calm because she had just finished acupuncture. "I don't want to do anything. I just find it strange." She said impatiently. "What do you mean?" Elizabeth asked, annoyed. "Didn't I tell you that I bring good luck? I came to help Mr. Victor Cooper. Shouldn't you be happy?" Hailey approached and gnashed her teeth. "You hurt my son, and you expect me to be happy? If anything happens to Victor today, I will make you pay with your life!" Hearing Hailey's words, Elizabeth felt relieved. She didn't need to do anything to expose this village girl who wanted to gain attention. She brought good luck? She performed acupuncture? Did she really think she was the top international doctor, Kate? Kate was an exceptional medical expert outside of any organization! She was also the only one internationally certified with a 100% surgery success rate! And she even had the acupuncture technique to revive the dead! Rumors had it that Kate had a strange temperament and never showed her true face to anyone. But even so, she was still sought after by the billionaires all over the world. So, Elizabeth looked at Wesley helplessly. "Mr. Cooper, you will regret it if you don't stop her." After speaking, Elizabeth put her hands in the pockets of her white coat. It seemed that she had done all she could do. The rest of the Cooper family was surprised to see them arguing. They didn't care whether Victor died of natural causes or Sandra killed him. The shares would be divided amongst them. It would benefit them anyway! Sandra's indifferent voice sounded. "Mr. Victor Cooper will tell you if he wants me to pay with my life." As soon as she finished speaking, everyone burst into mocking laughter. Victor would tell them? Was Sandra out of her mind? Just then. A strong cough rang out. Everyone stared in shock. Victor, who had been on the verge of death, slowly opened his eyes. Elizabeth turned around abruptly, her face filled with disbelief. The patient who was diagnosed by her with brain death woke up. She froze in total shock. "This can't be happening!"
