The medical team worked quickly on the lower marble floor area.
They placed a protective brace around Mrs. Bennett's delicate neck carefully.
Carter watched with anxious eyes as they lifted her onto the stretcher.
Her eyelids fluttered slightly as she slowly regained her faint consciousness.
She looked up at Carter with tired, weak blue eyes today.
Mrs. Bennett: Carter... my dear boy...
Carter: Save your strength, Grandma.
Mrs. Bennett: She pushed me... down...
Carter: I know everything now, Grandma.
Mrs. Bennett: Where is the lawyer?
Carter: Everyone is right here helping us.
The paramedics moved the stretcher toward the waiting ambulance parked outside.
Carter followed them closely, holding his grandmother’s cold hand tight.
The maid stood by the open door, weeping tears of relief now.
She had endured terrible treatment just to protect the family home.
The masked investigator handed a black folder to Carter outside nearby.
Inside were documents showing Chloe’s massive illegal bank transfers over time.
She had stolen over two million dollars from the family account.
She had even tried to alter the final will and testament.
If Mrs. Bennett died, Chloe would have inherited the whole estate.
The fake cremation order was her final move to erase all evidence.
Carter felt a cold chill run down his spine reading the papers.
The wickedness of her plan was far worse than he imagined.
He climbed into the back of the ambulance beside his grandmother.
The vehicle sped away, red lights flashing brightly in the daylight.
At the hospital, doctors rushed Mrs. Bennett into immediate care.
Carter waited in the quiet hallway, pacing back and forth slowly.
Hours passed like long agonizing days in that sterile hospital space.
Finally, a doctor stepped out from behind the heavy swing doors.
Doctor: She is going to survive the fall.
Carter: Thank God for that news!
Doctor: She has a severe broken arm.
Carter: Will she walk again soon?
Doctor: With physical therapy, yes she will.
Carter: Can I see her right now?
Carter breathed a deep sigh of relief for the first time.
The worst danger had passed, but the legal battle was starting.
