Joe instinctively lowered his hands to his sides and clenched his fists. Feeling nervous, he lied, "Not yet, Mr. Thomas. Madam Jessamine will be fine, so don't worry. "She must have accidentally broken her phone. She'll call you after she gets a new one. You should eat something, Mr. Thomas. You haven't even had dinner yet. You can't starve yourself in your condition."The people Joe had sent had already found out about the horrific car accident in the afternoon. He was sure that the accident had happened near the courthouse. Jessamine got into a car accident as soon as she and Thaddeus got divorced. What was even worse was that Thaddeus even married that crazy bitch Amy right after.Jessamine didn't have any relatives with her when the accident happened. The kind-hearted passersby were the ones who had called the ambulance. At that point, she had been lying in a pool of blood. Joe didn't even have the guts to look at the photos his subordinate had sent him. It was bone-chillin
Jordan parked in the Healthstone Hospital's parking lot. He had accelerated the car so much that the wheels were almost smoking.Jordan got out of the car and opened the door for Thaddeus. The latter had been silent the entire journey, his eyes fixed on his blood-stained hands. Jordan had tried to wipe it clean but to no avail."Mr. Holt, we've arrived at the hospital," he said. "I found out that the ambulance had brought Mrs. Holt here. Let's get out of the car."Thaddeus immediately returned to his senses. He looked up at his assistant and asked slowly, "Mr. Rhodes, how much blood do you think someone needs to lose before they die?"Jordan's heart dropped, and he quickly comforted him, "Please don't say that, Mr. Holt. If Mrs. Holt were dead, the people wouldn't have brought her here. She must be waiting for you in the ward. Let's go inside and have a look."Thaddeus was a man who had seen it all and wasn't afraid of anything. But right now, he didn't dare to follow Jordan insid
Jordan stepped forward, then heard the sound of the car door closing behind him.Thaddeus slowly caught up with his assistant. Of course, he would be sad, but he had to be by her side at a time like this, no matter if she was dead or alive. He couldn't leave her alone anymore. She had already suffered a lot after marrying into the Holt family.At this moment, a scumbag like him realized that he couldn't allow her to be alone anymore, even though he had already caused something irreparable to happen.Jordan stopped walking and turned to hold Thaddeus steady. As soon as they left the parking lot, several men in black suits stopped them.The men who stopped them were strong and muscular. They looked like private bodyguards.Thaddeus vaguely remembered that these men were the very same people who had stopped him from approaching Jessamine at the scene of the car accident. Back then, he was so preoccupied with Jessamine that he didn't have the time to wonder where they had come fro
Thaddeus' yell shocked Amy, and she stopped in place, not daring to move. She could tell that he was really angry now, to the point where he would even kill her on the spot.Initially, she was upset when he left her behind at the courthouse. Then, she heard that there had been a car accident nearby. And the victim, who was on the brink of death, was none other than that bitch Jessamine. The universe had finally helped her get rid of the thorn in her side.She was overjoyed. From now on, no one would fight Amy over Thaddeus anymore. Jessamine's children also wouldn't compete with Amy's son for their father's affection. She was now carrying the only descendant of the Holt family!Amy was so happy that she even went to the place where the car accident had occurred. She became even more excited at the sight of the pool of blood on the road. She had even forgotten the doctor's advice to stay in bed and made a restaurant reservation.Since this was her first day as Thaddeus' wife, sh
Cody was silent on the phone for a few moments. Then, he said, "I can only tell you that she's still alive, but things aren't looking too good for her. As long as Ms. Patton is still unconscious, every expert doctor who is here will have to keep watch on her. "Since her benefactor had already given the doctors his orders, they wouldn't dare to mess this up. That's all I can tell you. Please don't tell anyone else."Upon hearing that Jessamine was still alive, Jordan wanted to tell Thaddeus the good news immediately. But when he saw his dazed look, he knew that he would try to barge into the hospital if he told him. Those men would never let them in.Now that Jessamine was being rescued, there was no point in barging into the hospital. Rather than wasting their energy, it was better for him to bring Thaddeus to a quiet place and discuss their next move.Jordan drove Thaddeus back to the office and placed him in the lounge. Only then did he tell Thaddeus the good news. "Mr. Holt,
Thaddeus trembled upon hearing Logan's words. "Mr. Whitmore, you have to save her! Please!"Logan sighed, "As doctors, we want her to recover too, but she has suffered a traumatic head injury. Even if we do save her, she will most likely be in a coma. You have to prepare yourself."Thaddeus took a deep breath. "Mr. Whitmore, who called you guys there?"Logan was silent for a few moments. Then, he said, "You weren't the one who called us? No one besides you has such a big influence in Zenville.""It wasn't me, Mr. Whitmore. Right now, someone is stopping me outside the hospital. I can't even get close."As they talked, a nurse's panicked voice came from the phone. "Dr. Whitmore! Dr. Whitmore! It's an emergency! Hurry!"Then, Logan hung up the phone.Thaddeus' heart was in his throat when he heard the busy tone on the phone. He was uneasy at the thought of Jessamine fighting for her life and wished he was the one who had gotten hurt instead.…Late at night, a helicopter landed
Xander refused to believe that someone could be so unlucky. He kept talking by the bed, telling Jessamine about his stories in Hajera. He told her stories about Elizabeth when she was young, trying to bring back her will to live bit by bit.Jessamine was just 24 years old. She couldn't just die like that.When dawn arrived, Xander had already rambled his stories for most of the night. Even the doctors outside the ward took turns to rest.Jessamine had been unconscious for more than 12 hours.With every second that passed, the more desperate Xander was. He kept talking, "Jessie, please wake up! I'm your cousin! I heard that you've been looking for me. "Look, I'm standing right in front of you. If anyone dares to mess with you, I'll rip them to shreds and feed their remains to the fishes!"Jessie! Jessie!"Then, the ECG monitor sounded a warning. Xander quickly stood up and shouted at the door, "Doctor! Doctor!"Several doctors rushed into the ward. After the nurses brought Xa
At 10:00 am, Thaddeus changed into casual and discreet attire and walked to the emergency exit according to the map the director had given them. Sure enough, his journey was smooth.He muted his phone to prevent any disturbances. He was determined to stay with Jessamine, no matter what outcome awaited him.After walking through the cold corridor, he walked up the stairs to the ICU on the 19th floor, where Jessamine was being treated. When he came out of the stairwell and opened the door, he felt as if he was standing in the gap between the living and the dead. His heart was in his throat.To his surprise, it was eerily cold outside the ICU, without any signs of life. He walked forward, each step echoing in the corridor.There was only one ICU on this floor. It was a VIP room. Most people in critical condition wouldn't even be there. Clearly, the person who protected her was powerful enough to place her in this VIP room.Thaddeus stopped outside the ward. There was a small glass
