In less than a minute after the phone was hung up, the hotel manager rushed over in horror with a security guard and carried Stefan away.

Lindsay tried to catch up, but Francisco pulled her back again, "Where are you going?"

"The hospital!"

Lindsay glared at Francisco, "I'm going to see Stefan!"

She was taking a risk of falling out with him. Unexpectedly, Francisco said, "I'll take you there!"

"Okay!"

Lindsay didn't reject this time.

By the time when Francisco took her to the hospital, Stefan was already sent to the emergency room for surgery.

Lindsay fretfully rushed to the entrance of the operating room, put her palms together devoutly, looked at the red light above anxiously, and prayed in her heart, "Stefan, stay strong! Stay strong!"

At that moment, she even forgot that Francisco was still behind her.

Then the hospital director hurried over and respectfully called out, "Mr. Graves..."

Francisco just lifted his hand and frowned at the director, "No explanations, find the best doctor for the patient! All the medical bills will be covered by me!"

"Mr. Graves, rest assured!"

The director replied politely, "We've arranged the best surgeon for Mr. Fowler! Well, if that's all, please excuse me!"

"Mm!" Francisco nodded his head.

After the director left, Francisco's cell phone rang.

He took it out, saw Hassan's call, and then found a quiet place to pick it up.

Click...

Just then, a fit of hurried footsteps on high heels came over.

Before Lindsay realized what was going on, she was smacked heavily.

"Mom!"

Lindsay turned her head and looked at the menacing woman in amazement, "Why do you hit me?"

"Why?"

Full of anger, Eva glared at her, "Lindsay, it's okay for you to be corrupt. Why do you wreck Stefan?"

"Mom, what are you talking about?" Lindsay didn't get her.

"Lindsay!"

Eva snarled, "Since you agreed to sell yourself, why do you let Stefan know? You're lowly and drag Stefan down to suffer with you?"

When Lindsay heard that, her eyes became misty.

A moment later, she wouldn't suffer the wrong, "Mom, you asked me to go to the Dragon City Hotel. You also asked me to go to the nightclub. How could you talk like this now?"

"Lindsay!"

To her surprise, Lindsay dared to talk back, and Eva was instantly ashamed into anger. Harsher slander was then hurled at her, "If you are not lowly, why do you seduce Stefan? You know that he's your brother yet still seduce him? I tell you what, a lowly woman like you must be claimed by a man like Mr. Santos. Only then will Stefan give up on you completely!"

Then, she seemingly remembered something and questioned her aggressively, "Where's the money? Where is the money given by Mr. Santos? Where is it? Hand it over now!"

Lindsay was heartbroken!

She had never expected her adoptive mother should hate her so much!

Ever since she entered their door, Eva had never been kind to her.

In her view, she was not good enough. Therefore, she had been playing the role of the lady from the Fowler family meticulously.

At the end of the day?

She was nothing more than a lowlife in her foster mother's eyes!
