After sucking in a breath of cold air, Mary Sullivan quickly hung up the phone. Nervously, she turned on the car engine.
After that, she grabbed the steering wheel with her trembling hands.
She then stepped on the gas pedal and drove quickly away from the clinic in her black Porsche Cayenne.
At this moment, Mary’s heart was already up to her throat…
She knew that she was going to be in deep trouble.
Mary wanted to run and hide, but she knew she couldn’t.
She could avoid the trouble for a while, but she couldn’t avoid it forever.
If she tried to hide, her father would undoubtedly be even more furious.
When he eventually found her, he’d make her suffer even more.
Mary knew her father very well. His rage wouldn’t subside just because she hid away for some time.
Approximately half an hour later, Mary made it back to the Sullivan family’s house.
The bruises on her face and body looked even worse than before.
Her entire body looked even more like a pig now.
In fact, she looked like a colorful pig.
By then, the atmosphere in the Sullivan family’s living room was tense and cold.
Tony Sullivan, Tom Sullivan, Julian Sullivan, Bailey Ronson, Linda Jerome, and Linda’s father, Hector Jerome, sat around the coffee table in a circle.
Everyone had a serious expression on their faces.
When Bailey saw the state Mary was in, she immediately felt her heart aching…
After that, Bailey quickly walked over to Mary and held her hand tightly. “My child… Does it hurt?” she asked with a look of concern in her eyes.
Meanwhile, Mary felt as if her heart would soon leap out of her throat.
Mary subconsciously clutched Bailey’s hand tightly. “Mom… Save me…” She begged softly.
Bailey seemed helpless. “I’ll try my best… But I can’t guarantee that I’ll be able to save you this time,” Bailey said softly.
After that, Bailey let go of Mary and returned to her seat by Linda’s side.
At this moment, Mary felt as if her legs had been injected with lead. Even taking a single step felt heavy now.
After taking a deep breath, Mary slowly walked over to Tony one step at a time. “Dad, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have done bad things to embarrass you,” she said carefully.
Before Mary could finish speaking, Tony picked up the teacup on the table and splashed the warm water in the teacup at her face.
“Ahh…” Mary subconsciously exclaimed.
At that moment, not only did the warm tea splashed against her pig-like head, but it also splashed against her severely wounded body.
