Madeline's new phone clattered to the floor and almost broke. She hastily picked it up and said, "I'll be right there. Please do your best to save her, and tell her to wait for me!"She was almost in tears toward the end of her sentence. Why was Marie suddenly in critical condition?A familiar ringing filled her ears, but she dried her tears and hurried to her superior's office to ask for time off. Then, she booked a flight back to Shorestone City.During the journey, she didn't sleep a wink despite being exhausted. Her heart was at her throat, and she was on the edge of her seat. She was terrified by the thought of not being able to see Marie one last time.Not being able to see Shirley one last time would always be a regret in her life, and she was afraid she would have the same regret with Marie. They were the only two elders who loved her the most in this world!Madeline hurried to the hospital after arriving at the airport. She urged the driver to be faster and ran to the VIP

She suddenly asked, "How about we climb up?"Elijah raised an eyebrow. "I'll do as my darling wife says."They held hands and slowly climbed the steps. Madeline told him about her childhood and breathed in the fresh air.
