Chapter 539

Noelle's eyes flew wide open when she turned toward the door. It was Wyatt, her fifth brother. In her previous life, Wyatt had spent all his time in Carl's laboratory, handling the company's medicinal affairs.

Xenia's face lit up with joy at the sight of Wyatt. She ran straight into his arms. "Wyatt, you're finally back!"

"Yes, I'm back. No one will bully you anymore." Wyatt held Xenia gently.

She clung to him. "Wyatt, you're all I have now."

Wyatt comforted her before maneuvering his wheelchair into the living room. His expression darkened at Noelle. "What did you promise me before?"

Noelle hesitated before recalling exactly what he meant. She once promised

Wyatt that she would get along with Xenia and take care of her.

Noelle laughed. "I must have been out of my mind back then."

Wyatt scolded, "Noelle, you owe Xenia your life. You owe me a leg."

Noelle's heart tightened. But she quickly steadied herself. "You're mistaken. Your leg was lost because of a fire in the lab. It was an emergency. What does that have to do with me?"

Wyatt's gaze darkened. "My leg could have been saved. But you told the doctors to amputate it.

"That's why I became disabled. Carl has developed a treatment. I could have been cured if my leg had been preserved."

Noelle found this absolutely ridiculous. Wyatt had been rushed to the hospital, and only she and Xenia were present that day. Their other brothers hadn't been able to arrive in time.

The doctors had asked her whether to proceed with the amputation because keeping the leg would put his life in danger. She had chosen to life-in

save his life. And now, all the blame had been placed on her.

Noelle finally understood why Wyatt had always resented her. He believed she

was responsible for his amputation.

She remained indifferent. "You'd be

der if I hadn't agreed to

six feet I

the surgery. You wouldn't even be here to accuse me. You'd have to

deliver your complaints in a dream."

"Noelle, are you still refusing to admit your mistake?" Wyatt turned red with anger. He couldn't believe she was denying it.

Xenia quickly stepped in. "Wyatt, don't be so upset! You'll hurt yourself."

Wyatt's expression softened. He

turned to Xenia. "You were there, too.

Xenia lowered her gaze. "Yes... The

Wyatt huffed. "Was I wrong, Noelle?"

Noelle sneered. "There was no time to wait. The doctors said that you'd die from blood loss. Even Donovan knew about this."

She had chosen to save Wyatt's life. She turned to Donovan. "The doctors called you about it at the time, right?"

Donovan froze. "They did. But I told them to wait until I arrived. How could you

sign the consent form?"

"Someone's life was on the line! You weren't answering your phone when it

mattered most!" Noelle's anger flared.

She had been a child and was scared

and desperate. On one

one hand, bem

brother's life was at risk. On the other

hand, his leg was at stake. The
