NovelApexChapter 1019: "Ha-ha-ha!" Linda let out a jagged laugh. "I'm going to spend the rest of my life lying here like a useless log! Ha- ha..." Her laughter sliced through the room, sharp and painful. Each sound felt like a knife, cutting straight into Eric's chest.
"Tellthe doctor was mistaken, wasn't he?" Linda's voice trembled as she clutched Eric's collar with a fierce grip. Her eyes blazed with a volatile mix of desperation and fury. "He is just a clueless fraud, isn't he?" Eric's lips tightened into a thin line, his silence deafening.
Earlier that day, during Linda's medical evaluation, the doctor had noted troubling signs-diminished sensation and sluggish reflexes in her lower body. His words still echoed in Linda's mind, heavy and unyielding.
"Mr. Flynn, Miss Harris sustained damage to the muscles and nerves in her lower back from the car accident. I'm afraid her legs may never function as they once did." "What does that mean?" Linda had pressed, her voice barely a whisper.

For Eric, it ignited a firestorm of guilt and self-reproach.
"Say something! Speak, damn it!" Linda's voice cracked as she waited for a response that never came. Her emotions spiraled, her red-rimmed eyes quivering with raw anguish.
"I'm ruined! I'm broken-a shell of who I was! What's the point of going on?" Linda's grip on Eric slackened, and she sagged toward the bed's edge, as if surrendering to her grief.
"Linda!" Eric's voice was sharp with alarm.
"Letgo! I said, letgo!" Linda cried, thrashing against Eric. Eric caught her just in time, but Linda's distress lent her a wild strength, making her nearly impossible to restrain.
"Get the doctor!" Eric barked at the nurse, his brow creased with worry that Linda might harm herself.

Moments later, the nurse returned with the doctor in tow.
"Prepare a sedative," the doctor instructed calmly.
"Understood," the nurse replied.
"Letgo!" Linda's cries grew frantic as Eric and the nurse struggled to keep her still.
The sedative took effect, and slowly, the room fell into an uneasy hush. Linda's eyelids fluttered shut, her body going limp.
Eric exhaled a shaky breath, gently easing her back onto the bed.
Outside the hospital room, Hadley perched on a bench, her gaze fixed on the slightly ajar door. She had maar witnessed the sto storm unfold, and it left her rattled. Something dire had befallen Linda-something grievously real.
As the room quieted, the doctor emerged, with Eric trailing close behind. His every step betrayed a bone-deep weariness as he approached Hadley and sank onto the bench beside her. Leaning back, he stared at the hospital room door and murmured, "It happened that night."
His words were vague, but Hadley caught their meaning. He was m referring to the night she and Linda had both been kidnapped.
