Chapter 1763:
Dolores arched a brow. “And? The surgeons are the ones with the skills to save him. Sitting here won't change
anything. I'd rather do something productive.”
Lowell shook his head, speechless for once.
Before Lowell could react, Lucille, who rarely raised her voice, snapped, “You're not going anywhere! Your dad is
in there fighting for his life, and all you can think about is a facial. You're staying right here until he’s out of
danger.”
She marched over, seized Dolores’s hand, and pressed her advantage. “If you dare leave now, I'll cut ties with
you. You ungrateful girl—your father’s love for you was completely wasted!”
Dolores looked bewildered. “Mom, what's the big deal? There's nothing I can do here. Why shouldn't | go get a
facial?”
Seething, Lucille hissed, “Forget the facial! Sit down and stay put!”
Twisting toward Lowell, Lucille ordered, “Cut off her access to funds. This is outrageous—she has absolutely no

The instant Dolores heard her mother’s threat, her composure shattered. “Mom, ”
“I'm just getting a facial! It’s not like I'm committing shorrible cror disgracing the family. Why are you
making such a big deal out of this?” Dolores challenged, crossing her arms.
Lucille’s eyes flashed with fury. “Because your dad is in surgery, fighting for his life, and you don’t seem to care
one bit!”
Dolores’s eyes turned red with emotion as she protested, “What did | do to deserve this?”
“Because I'm your mother! And the man lying in that operating room is your father! Isn’t that reason enough?”
Lucille’s voice sharpened with frustration.
Overwhelmed by anger, Dolores spun to leave, but Lucille grabbed her firmly and pulled her back toward the
operating room doors. Lowell froze, stunned—he had never seen his mother this enraged.
Thankfully, after urgent medical intervention, Leon was no longer in immediate danger. He remained weak and
pale as he lay motionless in his hospital bed.
Once Leon regained consciousness, Lucille sent both siblings away, insisting she needed to speak to him alone.
Dolores fumed at her mother’s decision. As they walked out of the hospital, she grumbled, “I knew Dad was fine,
but Mom just had to keepthere, wasting an entire day stuck in that place.”

She continued complaining, but Lowell stayed silent. Frustrated, she turned to him. “Why aren't you saying
anything? What's wrong with you?”
Lowell glanced at her, his voice weary. “You just don’t know when to stop.”
Dolores’s anger flared. “Even you're againstnow?”
Lowell frowned. “If everyone in the
