I Became His Sweetheart

Chapter 484 The Only Bond Between Him and the World

“Boss!”

“Madam!”

At this time, William’s people arrived in time as well.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

Morgan Group’s bodyguards picked up Jeffrey and then lay him down on the deck before helping Melanie up.

Her belly was in a lot of pain.

However, she had no time for herself; the sight of Jeffrey filled her eyes as he lay there on the ground.

“Get him to the hospital! The hospital, right now!”

She used all her strength to scream. Why would William, who was always so quick to act, be so slow this time? Why didn’t he send him to the hospital?!

“Madam...”

William raised his head and looked at her. “The boss... He has no pulse...”

“Impossible! No way..”

“He’s not... He knows that he still has to protect our child! He can’t die! Get him to the hospital! | order you, get him... To...”

And as her emotions got the better of her, an intense pain stabbed into her stomach. Her vision turned dark as she collapsed.

It felt like a whole eternity.

When Melanie woke up, she instinctively held her belly. It was still round. And it seemed to be bigger than she remembered...

Melanie was shocked to see her room wasn’t white when she opened her eyes.

She was still thinking about what had happened when she saw Professor Turner come in from the door. He was happy when he saw her awake. “Do you know how long you've slept, girl?” “Professor... Aren't you...dead?”

She sat up in shock. “If you're alright, then what about my mom and Pamela?”

“They're fine. Jeffrey left some bodyguards around the base. When those people came to kidnap us and rob this place, everyone from the Morgan Group sacrificed their lives to protect us. We never left the island at all; they’d found an underground tunnel for us to hide in. We were hiding

then...”

The professor then put a pillow behind her back. Only then did Melanie see that her belly had grown much larger to the point that she was subconsciously sliding backward when she was sitting.

“Then what about Jeffrey?” she asked in realization.

The professor lowered his head and sighed.

“Is he at the hospital? What happened? Tell me!” Melanie got too anxious, and she could feel the pain in her belly again.

“My girl, I've used everything that I've learned in my life to save you for the past half a month. You can’t get that nervous again.”

The professor quickly calmed her down, but all he could see was her staring at him, tears filling her eyes, as if waiting for the final judgment to be passed.

The professor couldn't bear to see her suffer, and sighed before saying, “Don’t you already know what happened to him?”

“He was too close to the center of the explosion. The shrapnel from the explosion pierced through his brain, and he didn’t make it even before he got to the hospital.” The professor knew that she was waiting for this result and had no choice but to tell her what had happened straightforwardly.

In that moment, Melanie could feel the strength in her body instantly being sapped away, as if losing all strength to live. The most regretful part about all of it was, even in their final moments, she still suspected that he

was behind everything...

“Quick! The fluid!”

When the professor saw that she wasn’t doing well, he immediately told the nurse to top up her

medicine.

Once again, she fell into a state where she was half—awake and half—dreaming.

Jeffrey filled up her dreams of the both of them enjoying their sweetest moments.

But as soon as she regained even the slightest bit of consciousness, she couldn’t help herself from crying, and would once again go back to sleep to escape herself. She never wanted to face a reality where she had lost him.

When she woke up again, it was three days later. She saw Yelena sitting by her bedside. “Melanie.”

Yelena’s speech was much smoother than before. “We all know that you’re sad, but you're a mother and you are with child. You cannot give up just like that...”

Yelena held Melanie’s hand and placed it on her belly.

She hadn't touched her child for a very long time. As if the child could sense her calling, the child kicked back at her palm from inside.

Instantly, her tears fell.

For the past half a month, she had been in a coma. Her life was maintained through the IV fluids. Despite her body having already become skinnier now, her unborn baby was quite stubborn; not only did the baby survive, the baby still took in more nutrients and grew bigger.

“The professor said that the child is very healthy, and your mother has signs of waking up as well. That's why you have to stay strong,” Yelena consoled her with tears in her eyes.

Melanie blinked, and then she heard her say, “I know that you and Jeffrey were in love. That’s why you must protect the child he left behind on this earth, right?”

Melanie got herself up and sat up, her hands on her round belly. This was the only bond that was left between her and Jeffrey.

That was right.

She needed to fight. Only then could she better protect their child.

“Where's Jeffrey? Can | still see him one last time...?” A hint of life returned to her tired eyes.
