Chapter 172
When David and Nora rushed up in a hurry, it was already too late.
Joseph cried out in pain, Sophia knelt on the ground with a pale face, and Sherry used a
cotton cloth to wipe the liquid off Joseph’s face.
She didn’t expect Joseph to come at that moment; she only wanted to avoid Sophia’s
attack. She didn’t anticipate Joseph’s unfortunate timing, directly facing the liquid
thrown by Sophia.
“What exactly happened?” Nora panicked and squatted down to check. She saw that
half of Joseph’s face was blood red, which was shocking.
Sherry continued to use the cotton cloth to wipe off the remaining liquid on his face.
Nora thought she was the culprit and pushed her away, holding Joseph in her arms.
“What are you doing to my son? Joseph is still so young. Even if he has offended your
before, he is still a child.”
David looked at the wound on Joseph’s face and suddenly became furious. Sherry

what were you trying to do?”
The couple had the same reaction.
Sherry sighed and stood up slowly. “Mr. Wilson, Mrs. Wilson, if I were you, I would
quickly take Joseph to the hospital. His face was splashed with sulfuric acid. If you
delay any longer, he will definitely be disfigured.”

Nora was frightened and cried while scolding. “Since you entered the house today, I
have always treated you as an honored guest. If you wanted lobster, I cooked it for you.
I
Whatever you wanted, I gave it to you. Where did I go wrong? Why did you harm my son
like this?”
Joseph was still crying loudly, but Nora didn’t mention anything about taking him to the
hospital. She was determined to blame everything on Sherry.
“I know you suspect that I caused harm to your mother in the past, right? If you want
revenge, come at me! What kind of immoral act is it to splash sulfuric acid on a child??” Nora deliberately mentioned the past to make David hear it.

At this moment, David had already forgotten everything else. He picked up Joseph from
Nora’s arms and walked out. “Let’s go to the hospital first. We’ll talk about other things
later.”
David drove, and Nora held Joseph in the back seat of the car.
When they were about to leave, Nora shouted loudly, “David, we can’t let her have time
to escape. Let her come with us to the hospital! Let her face the consequences of her
actions!”
David didn’t say anything, indicating his agreement.
He looked at Sherry, standing outside the car, coldly.
Sherry lowered her eyes, chuckled lightly, and directly opened the passenger door, saying, “I am not the culprit, so naturally I won’t run away. Let’s go.”
In the early morning emergency room, it instantly became busy with Joseph’s arrival.
David followed the doctor into the examination room, his face full of worry. “Doctor

how is my son?”
The doctor examined the injuries on Joseph’s face and let out a sigh of relief.
“Fortunately, most of the sulfuric acid has been removed. There will be some marks,
but it won’t disfigure him.”

Upon hearing this, Nora tried to slap Sherry. You actually used sulfuric acid! There is a
bathroom in your room; why didn’t you dare use water to rinse off the sulfuric acid with
Joseph? And you used a cloth to wipe! Did you want to delay time and disfigure
Joseph?”
This slap did not land on Sherry’s face.
Sherry took a step back, avoiding her slap, her face calm. “If I really wanted to disfigure
him, I wouldn’t even bother wiping.”
“YOU…
David raised his hand in anger and asked, “Do you have no conscience? Joseph is still
so young! He is my beloved son! If you dare to harm him, I will make you pay!

“Sir, please don’t be hasty. You have misunderstood this young lady,” the doctor quickly
intervened. “Sulfuric acid is different from other substances. It releases a large amount
of heat when it comes into contact with water, which would cause burns and leave
heavy scars. Using a cloth to wipe away the residual sulfuric acid is the correct
approach, as it minimizes the damage.”
The doctor’s explanation left David and Nora stunned.
So, Sherry actually saved Joseph?
The doctor had already arranged for a nurse to help treat Joseph’s wounds. Joseph
was still crying and screaming in pain, but fortunately, the nurse patiently endured his
punches and kicks, persistently treating the injuries on his face.
David still found it hard to believe and grabbed the doctor’s sleeve, asking, “Doctor, is
using a cloth to wipe really the correct treatment method?”
“Of course, the doctor said, “and this young lady acted promptly. If it had been any later,
the consequences would have been much more severe. You see, it was sulfuric acid! A
strong acid that can dissolve steel. If it had been splashed on the child’s face, the

outcome would have been disastrous. If it weren’t for this young lady’s timely
intervention, the child’s life would have been ruined.”
David’s confidence instantly dissipated, and he awkwardly rubbed his hands.
However, Nora buried her face in his arms, crying uncontrollably, “David, you have to
help Joseph seek justice! Joseph can’t suffer this injustice in vain!”
“I know, I know. I won’t let Joseph be wronged.”
“David, I’ll say something unpleasant. How did she know to use a cloth to wipe off the
sulfuric acid on the skin? Most people would instinctively wash it off with water, right?
She must have known in advance.”
Upon hearing this, David’s expression changed instantly.

Sherry chuckled lightly. “Mrs. Wilson, it’s not scary to be uneducated, but it’s wrong to
falsely accuse others when you’re uneducated. How to handle sulfuric acid dripping on
the skin is something taught in high school chemistry classes. Any high school student
would know Has Mrs. Wilson not even graduated from high school?”

Nora’s face turned pale. “What…”
“I kindly saved your son, but you persistently attempted to shift the blame onto me. Mr.
Wilson, I acknowledge your esteemed reputation in your field, but your wife has truly
brought shame upon you. It is quite amusing that a renowned master of landscape
design, who boasts of having read all the books, would choose to marry an illiterate
individual who hasn’t even completed high school!”
David’s expression turned particularly unpleasant. Surrounded by doctors and nurses,
they all regarded him with peculiar eyes, causing him to feel uneasy.
“Ms. Wilson, we are in a public setting. As a person of stature, I cannot allow myself to
be disrespected. I understand that you may feel unjustly accused, but can we address
this matter privately at home? Let us not provide others with a reason to mock us.”
