Chapter 229 Dragging Her Outside the Emergency Room
When Jennifer’s eyes met Stephanie’s pleading gaze, the woman seemed to snap out of it, and there was a glint in her swollen eyes. Something stirred within her. Sensing that Jennifer might have momentarily listened to her reasoning, Stephanie made way for her. Jennifer dragged her grieving body out of the hospital room and walked toward Room 606.
She was going to transfer all her emotions onto Melinda, believing that without her, her son would not have had an accident!
Meanwhile, in the doctor’s office, Mervin looked at the prescription details and signed his name at the bottom. The doctor then advised, “Even though the medicine tastes bitter, it must be taken on time. She has no choice but to overcome it.
“Okay. Thank you, doctor.” Mervin thanked the doctor.
“By the way, please review this prescription and sign it, the doctor added.
“Alright.”
Meanwhile, at the entrance of Room 606, Jennifer, who was consumed by rage, abruptly halted her steps. She raised her hand and forcefully pushed the door open, startling Melinda as she sat absentmindedly by the bedside. Melinda looked over upon hearing the door open, only to be met with Jennifer’s angry and swollen eyes. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
Melinda couldn’t believe that Jennifer had managed to find her there. As Jennifer slowly made her way toward Melinda, her eyes burned with a desire to skin the woman alive. Before Melinda could even react, Jennifer grabbed her slender wrist and yanked her forcefully.
“Ah!” Melinda’s frail body was thrown off the bed, and she felt that her wrist was almost broken as she stood barefoot on the cold floor. Overwhelmed by pain, Melinda winced and pleaded, “What are you doing? I’ve already disappeared, so why are you still causing trouble for me?”
Hearing that, Jennifer stared at her coldly, then forcefully pulled her out of the room without uttering a word.novelxo.com fast update
“What are you trying to do? Where are you bringing me?” Melinda realized how strong Jennifer’s grip was when she struggled to break free. “Please let go of me! Can we talk instead?” Since they were in the hospital, Melinda followed along obediently without making a fuss and kept asking in a low voice, “Where are you taking me? Please let go. I’m begging you. What do you want? Tell me! Why did you come to Navelie? Did something happen?”
After making their way through the hospital’s corridors, Jennifer finally stopped, but her grip on Melinda’s wrist tightened even more as if she intended to crush it as an act of vengeance. Melinda, too, came to a halt, and when she looked up, she realized they were standing outside the emergency room while being surrounded by a crowd of people.
Among them were Stephanie, Hobson, and several of Stanley’s attendants who were standing there solemnly. Their expressions were grave upon seeing Melinda. They seemed to have something to say, yet they hesitated to speak. The flickering light above the emergency room door added to the tense atmosphere, causing discomfort in Melinda’s eyes. She had a bad feeling about it.
“If my son dies, I will make you pay! You won’t live a second longer!” Jennifer suddenly roared.
Hearing that, Melinda’s gaze shifted toward Jennifer, her voice trembling with fear and desperation. “What happened to Stanley? Is he inside?” Her heart sank, and panic overwhelmed her. Is he in there?” No one responded, and only Jennifer stared at her spitefully. The next moment, Melinda’s face turned pale, and a sharp pain spread in her chest. She struggled to catch her breath as her head spun.
Just then, the emergency room door swung open. Monica, who appeared like a corpse, walked out. Her eyes were lifeless and bloodshot. Meanwhile, her body was covered in blood, and her steps lacked strength. Her face was covered in tears as she walked out feebly.
“How is he? Why did you come out?” Jennifer was taken aback by Monica’s appearance.
“Stanley is still being treated, but he has lost consciousness… Monica’s tear-filled eyes couldn’t see Melinda’s presence clearly. Her voice trembled, and her heart was heavy with sorrow,
Melinda, whose wrist was being gripped by Jennifer, was stupefied upon hearing that. “What happened to him? Why does he need treatment?” It was then that Stephanie noticed that Melinda was barefoot and pale. Knowing that she was in a frail condition, Stephanie felt pity for her, but alas, she was powerless to
intervene.
“Mr. Fox came to Navelie to look for you. He saw you crossing the road and was about to get in a car when he rushed into traffic out of desperation while disregarding his safety. The only thought he had in mind was to not let you disappear from his sight again…..”
A car accident! He had been in an accident! Melinda once again looked up at the rapidly flashing red light above the emergency room door as tears streamed down her face. A buzzing sound filled her ears, and her surroundings seemed to fall silent.
