Legend of Dragon Son-in-law

Chapter 654: Chapter 654 Amputation_1

Five-river Province’s National Northern Mount Hospital.

This is the hospital with the best facilities and the most renowned doctors in the province!

Even on a national scale, its medical capabilities are among the top ten.

Of course.

However, the fees at National Northern Mount Hospital are incredibly expensive, far beyond what ordinary people can afford.

Only dignitaries, wealthy businessmen, and noble families are qualified to receive convalescence here.

...

At this moment.

In a deluxe hospital room on the seventh floor of National Northern Mount Hospital.

Darnell Lopez sat in a chair, staring blankly at his son who lay in the hospital bed.

Behind him stood his wife, Cornelius Martin, and the equally pale-faced Jennifer Lopez.

There were also four bodyguards in black suits.

Last night.

Darnell Lopez received a call in the middle of the night, learning that his son was seriously injured and even in danger of losing his life.

He rushed to Five-river Province with his wife overnight.

Before coming, Jennifer Lopez had already used her personal connections to place Tariq Lopez in the best hospital in Five-river Province.

“Sister.”

Darnell Lopez tenderly held Tariq Lopez’s slightly pale hand, then gently placed it against his own face.

He moved very carefully, worried about waking Tariq Lopez up.

“Didn’t you say that you wanted my son to come to Five-river Province to relax and to accompany you on a stroll?”

As Darnell Lopez said this, his gaze suddenly became exceedingly cold, “Why, why has it turned out like this!”

“I need an explanation.” He sighed, seeming to have aged a lot overnight.

Tariq Lopez is Darnell Lopez’s only son, and the most outstanding youth of the Lopez Family.

Currently, Jennifer Lopez has given up helping Zane Percival fight for control over the Lopez family business.

So, it was only a matter of time before Tariq Lopez took up the family banner.

Out of favor owed to Jennifer Lopez, Darnell Lopez did not prevent his son from coming to Gonzalez City.

The relationship between the uncle and niece had been tense for so many years; it was about time to ease it.

After all, if Tariq Lopez wanted to secure a strong position within the Lopez Family, he couldn’t do so without Jennifer Lopez’s full support.

This woman, who had already been married off and then divorced, controlled over one-fifth of the Lopez Family’s assets.

It seemed that the old man was also happy to see this state of affairs, not only did he not stop her, he even appeared somewhat biased.

But no one could have expected.

For Tariq Lopez, who was perfectly fine upon arriving in Gonzalez City, to be lying in a hospital bed in Five-river Province just a few hours later.

“Jennifer Lopez, give me an explanation.”

Darnell Lopez took a deep breath, set Tariq Lopez’s hand inside the blanket, stood up, and looked coldly at Jennifer Lopez.

Like a lion gone mad!

“Brother, I didn’t expect things to…”

“You didn’t expect? Then why did Tariq Lopez, all well and good, provoke Elwood Thorneycroft at Itai Huntington’s party?”

Darnell Lopez interrupted Jennifer Lopez mercilessly, his eyes locked onto his sister.

The siblings had never gotten along, but they had never reached the point of tearing each other’s faces off.

Among noble families, it was normal to engage in a lot of overt and covert struggles for interests.

But such a major incident was a clear overstep.

“When I was coming, the old man spoke.”

Darnell Lopez snorted lightly, looking at the somewhat panicked Jennifer Lopez: “He’s personally investigating this matter. If he finds out it’s related to you, you can forget about touching even a part of the Lopez Family’s assets ever again!”

Although it was heartbreaking to see Tariq Lopez beaten like this, it might be an opportunity to drive Jennifer Lopez out of the family.

It could be seen as a good thing.

Darnell Lopez already held most of the Lopez Family’s business, and his only concern was the businesses in Jennifer Lopez’s hands.

This woman, who had been married off long ago, controlled several of the family’s most lucrative industries, which the Lopez family members found very tempting.

After Tariq Lopez’s injury in Gonzalez City, the entire Lopez Family was up in arms, collectively denouncing Jennifer Lopez.

It looked quite like a push for a change of leadership.

“Father is going to investigate personally?”

Hearing this news, Jennifer Lopez felt somewhat anxious inside.

Tariq Lopez was injured, and it definitely couldn’t have happened without her involvement.

She had originally wanted to create a conflict between Tariq Lopez and Julius Reed, and then suppress Julius Reed under the name of the Lopez Family.

But she hadn’t expected that once Julius Reed took action, he would cripple Tariq Lopez!

“What’s wrong? Scared?”

With a cold sneer, Darnell Lopez pointed fiercely at Jennifer Lopez: “If this has anything to do with you, I’ll be the first to let you have it!”

He had only this one son.

Who could have peacefully taken over the Lopez family business.

Now, unfortunately, he’s lying in bed, unconscious.

“Dr. Pendleton, how is my son’s injury?”

When he saw a doctor walking in from outside the door, Darnell Lopez hurried over, his face full of anxious expression.

Dr. Pendleton, named Brantley Pendleton, was an orthopedic professor at the National Northern Mount Hospital in Five-river Province.

After Tariq Lopez was brought to the Northern-Mountain Hospital, the Lopez Family immediately contacted Dr. Pendleton, who readily performed surgery on Tariq Lopez in the middle of the night.

After a busy night, Brantley Pendleton and his team rushed to the conference room to analyze the medical condition.

It took a full hour before he returned.

“Mr. Lopez, I hope you’re prepared for this.”

Brantley Pendleton’s expression was grave, his eyebrows involuntarily furrowing together.

“You… you’re saying…”

Darnell Lopez felt a dizziness in his head and leaned back against the wall.

Seeing his condition, Cornelius Martin immediately walked over, gently supporting her husband.

Even Jennifer Lopez beside them listened with a tense look on her face.

Right now, all she could do was pray that Tariq wasn’t seriously hurt.

Otherwise, if the old man really investigated and found out, she feared she’d lose everything she had worked so hard for over the years!

Jennifer Lopez wasn’t greedy, but without financial support, how could she avenge her son?

The image of Zane Percival falling from the helicopter into the sea to his death haunted her every night.

Especially the sound of Zane Percival’s desperate and miserable scream before his death, which tore Jennifer Lopez apart even more.

“Mr. Tariq Lopez is now out of life-threatening danger.”

After Brantley Pendleton spoke, the three present let out a sigh of relief.

“But his leg, I’m afraid he won’t be able to recover in this lifetime.” Before the people could react to this information, Brantley Pendleton’s words plunged them back into the abyss!

“In other words, Tariq Lopez might have to spend his life in a wheelchair.”

“His leg has a comminuted fracture, and we need to perform an amputation immediately.”

“Otherwise, it could endanger his life.”

The air became silent.

In the hospital room, only the sound of breathing remained.

“You quack!”

After a moment of silence, Cornelius Martin, as if driven mad, rushed forward and grabbed Brantley Pendleton by the collar, screaming and shouting.

“If you dare amputate my son’s leg, I’ll hack you to pieces while you’re still alive!”

Amputate?

Tariq Lopez was barely thirty years old.

It was the zenith of his life!

Cornelius Martin’s heart was shattered.

Her son, whom she was so proud of, was going to become disabled…

“Come back!”

Darnell Lopez hugged Cornelius Martin, forcefully suppressing his emotions inside, and looked at Brantley Pendleton with a bitter face: “Professor Pendleton, my wife may be a bit agitated, please don’t take it to heart.”

“I can understand. After all… after all, Mr. Lopez is so young. But this is the best outcome after our assessment.”

Brantley Pendleton sighed and took out the X-ray images in his hand.

“Look, it’s practically crushed to powder!”

“Then… then let’s do it as soon as possible…”

Darnell Lopez clenched his hands tightly together, unable to hold back his tears.

And Jennifer Lopez beside him was simply petrified.

The situation had escalated.
