Devilish secretary - Chapter 154

Chapter 154: Chapter 154 You broke him Chapter 154: Chapter 154 You broke him It had been a full day since her human doll fell into a coma, and Lilith hadn’t left his side.

Even while she sat by his bedside, she managed Sebastian’s company behind the scenes, handling urgent matters with assistant Quinn.

The news of his accident had been carefully suppressed€“only close family knew.

And now, they were arriving.

The sound of footsteps echoed down the hospital corridor.

Lilith didn’t bother looking up from her laptop as the door swung open violently.

Grandma Bria stepped in first.

Her cane tapped against the pristine hospital floor, each step filled with authority.

Her lips were pressed into a thin, disapproving line.

Alan€“Sebastian’s father followed, his face unreadable, while Ana, his mother, looked pale but composed.

Rose rushed inside too, her small frame trembling with nerves.

The moment Grandma Bria laid eyes on Lilith sitting calmly, working on a laptop instead of sobbing over Sebastian’s unconscious body her anger exploded.

“You b*tch!” With surprising strength for an old woman, she threw her cane straight at Lilith’s head.

Rose gasped in horror.

But before the cane could make contact- Lilith’s hand shot up.

Without even glancing, she caught it mid-air.

A chilling silence spread across the room.

Grandma Bria staggered slightly, her eyes widening just for a second.

Even Alan and Ana looked stunned.

Rose, frozen in shock, finally found her voice.

“Sister Lilith…!” she whispered, thinking she had been hurt.

But Lilith… Lilith didn’t even flinch.

She gripped the cane tightly, slowly standing from her chair, her piercing blue eyes locking onto Grandma Bria.

The temperature in the room seemed to drop.

The old woman’s chest heaved in anger, but she took a small step back as Lilith’s aura shifted.

“You should be careful where you throw things, old woman,” Lilith murmured.

Then-snap.

With one hand, she snapped the cane in half and threw it to the floor.

Gasps filled the room.

Even Alan took a step forward, and Ana covered her mouth in shock.

But Grandma Bria’s face burned with rage.

“You motherless, fatherless child!

You have no respect for your elders!

I will never accept you into the Carter family as Sebastian’s wife!” “Are you done?” Lilith’s voice was calm..too calm as she walked toward Grandma Bria with graceful elegance.

The lack of emotion in her words only made it more terrifying.

Grandma Bria’s face twisted in pure hatred.

“You lowly woman!” she screeched, her body trembling in rage.

“You dare€“” Lilith took a another step forward.

Just one step and the old woman stumbled back.

Fear.

Grandma Bria felt fear.

Lilith tilted her head slightly, her piercing blue eyes never leaving the old woman’s face.

“You must be feeling quite brave today, Grandma Bria, throwing a cane at me in a hospital ward,” she murmured.

“Should I clap?” The sarcasm dripped like poison.

Grandma Bria gasped in anger at being mocked so openly, in front of her own son, her daughter-in-law, and even the staff outside who had undoubtedly heard the commotion.

“You dare act so arrogant after ruining my grandson?!” she shrieked, pointing a shaking finger at Sebastian’s unconscious form.

“Ever since you seduced him, he’s been distracted, depressed, and now in a coma!

You should be thrown out like the filth you are-” “Enough.” Lilith’s single word carried more power than the old woman’s entire rant.

The venom in Grandma Bria’s words didn’t affect her.

But the sheer audacity of blaming her for human doll condition?

That made Lilith smile.

A slow, chilling smile.

She took another step forward.

And another.

Until she stood so close that Grandma Bria had to crane her neck up to meet her eyes.

“You think I made him weak?” Lilith whispered, her voice like silk laced with daggers.

“That I ruined him?” She leaned in slightly, her breath ghosting over the old woman’s ear.

“You should be thanking me.” Grandma Bria flinched.

Alan and Ana remained silent.

Rose, still standing near the bed, clutched Sebastian’s unmoving hand.

“Your grandson is in a coma because he’s spent his entire life being pushed around by people like you,” Lilith continued, each word cutting deeper than a knife.

“Because he was never allowed to be himself.” “Because he was forced to meet your ridiculous standards…expected to be perfect, emotionless, a puppet for the Carter name.” She knew that her Human Doll’s DID situation was most likely caused by Grandma Bria..

Lilith took one final step closer.

And this time Grandma Bria stepped back on her own.

A smile ghosted across Lilith’s lips.

For the first time, the tyrannical old woman was retreating.

But Lilith wasn’t done.

She lowered her voice, just for the two of them to hear.

“You think you’re the reason Sebastian became so powerful?” she murmured.

A short pause.

Then Lilith chuckled.

Softly.

Mockingly.

“No, Grandma Bria.

You broke him.” The color drained from the old woman’s face.

Alan shifted uncomfortably.

Ana’s gaze darkened.

The atmosphere was suffocating.

“Leave,” Lilith finally said, straightening her posture.

Grandma Bria sputtered in disbelief.

“You-you dare to-” “Leave.” Lilith’s tone turned sharp, final.

The command wasn’t loud.

But it carried the power of absolute authority.

Grandma Bria clenched her jaw, her wrinkled hands balling into fists.

But she said nothing.

With a final glare, she spun on her heel and stormed out of the room, her presence like a dying storm.

Alan, Sebastian’s father, looked at Lilith without any expression.

His eyes lingered on his son, lying unconscious on the hospital bed, covered in wires and machines keeping him alive.

A flicker of something crossed his gaze…regret?

Guilt?

Pain?

But it was gone as quickly as it appeared.

His lips parted, and he finally spoke.

“Take care of him.” That was it.

He turned on his heel and walked out of the room, his leather shoes tapping against the cold hospital floor.

Lilith frowned, her piercing blue eyes following his retreating figure.

That was all he had to say?

Take care of him?

But before she could dwell on it any longer- A choked sob broke the silence.

Lilith turned her head, her gaze softening as she took in the sight before her.

Ana Carter, usually so elegant and graceful, was crying.
