I Became His Sweetheart by Bright Eyes

Chapter 391 You’re Scaring Her

When William and the driver, who were further away, heard Melanie screaming from inside the car, they

immediately realized something was wrong and ran back to the car.

“Madam? What’s wrong with the boss?” they instinctively asked.

Melanie helped Jeffrey to sit on the seat as comfortably as possible. She wasn’t going to answer stupid

questions. Instead, she looked around and asked, “Where’s the nearest hospital?”

Before William could answer, Jeffrey immediately said in a coarse voice, “Go to a Morgan Group’s

hospital.”

Melanie glared at him. But seeing the seriousness in his eyes, she knew that his injury was a secret,

and it

needed to be kept a secret.

Morgan Group was huge. As the leader of Morgan Group, he couldn’t let anything happen to him.

If the outside world knew about his injury and spread the negative news, it would affect Morgan Group

as a whole. Melanie knew about his worries, so she ordered the driver, “Go to the nearest hospital

owned by the

company!”

“Understood!”

T

“William, call the hospital and tell them to prepare for the green lane. Don’t waste time!” She thought

everything through and gave orders to William.

“Of course, Madam,” William replied smartly.

The car engine started to roar and Melanie closed the door on Jeffrey’s side before helping him with his

seat

belt.

“Wear your own seat belt. Take care of yourself…” Jeffrey didn’t forget to remind her, even when he

was

breathing heavily.

Melanie glanced at him and said, “What’s there for me to take care of? Take care of yourself!”

After saying that, she put her hand on his forehead. No wonder he looked so pale. He was burning up!

The sweat on his face kept on flowing. Melanie heaved a long sigh to lighten up the worry in her heart.

“Don’t worry, I’m fine.”

Jeffrey observed her expressions carefully as he consoled her.

“Don’t speak.”

She held his hand. “We’re reaching the hospital soon. Everything will be fine.”

“With you here, there’s nothing for me to worry about.” Jeffrey tried to smile with his parched lips.

While Jeffrey was completely powerless at this moment because of the fever, it was also the moment

where he was most comfortable. There was nothing more reassuring than having her by his side.

The car arrived at the hospital and immediately used the VIP lane.

The hospital staff were already waiting. They immediately moved Jeffrey onto a gurney and pushed

him in. Only now did Melanie realize that Jeffrey’s shirt was drenched from all his sweat…

“How is he doing? Why does he have a fever?”

Melanie jogged together with the other medical staff and the doctor explained to her. “There are signs

of

infection and inflammation on his wound.”

“Is it dangerous?” she asked.

“It can go either way. It depends on the area and how much surrounding tissue has already been

infected.

We’ll perform first aid on him immediately.”

The door into the emergency room closed and Melanie could feel her heart pounding.

This took her back to the Yorks‘ residence a few days ago. He was also moved in like that while she

was forced to wait outside with no way of knowing what was happening inside.

All she could do was worry about it and couldn’t help but be pessimistic.

She hoped that this time, he could safely survive too.

William also waited outside the emergency room with Melanie.



The corridor was terrifyingly quiet, with no one saying a word. She would ask William every once in a

while for

the time and then quietly calculate how much time had passed.

“Didn’t the doctor at the Yorks‘ residence say that his wound would start healing in three days? Why is

it still

bleeding?” Melanie realized something and asked William.

“The boss… didn’t rest like he’s supposed to…”

Melanie turned around and glared at William, not sure why he was mumbling like that.

“To tell you the truth, the boss came back on the same flight with you. That’s why… His wound didn’t

heal…” William decided to tell her the truth.

Melanie was speechless.

She bit her lips.

She knew that Jeffrey’s men were everywhere. That was why she intentionally went to the airport with

Annie two hours before the flight. She wanted to ditch him when she went home, but she didn’t expect

him to follow her, anyway.

Not to mention that it had only been around twelve hours since he sustained his injury. Did he have a

death wish?!

He had his own private jet that had medical personnel. They could take better care of him, but he still

chose to

“Why didn’t he tell me?” she asked.

“The boss said he didn’t want to disturb you, worried that you’d get upset if you saw him.” William tried

his

best to reproduce the same words. “Madam, to be honest, he really does care about you…”

Melanie could feel her heart thumping and said nothing else.

About half an hour later.

The emergency room’s door finally opened.

The medical staff pushed Jeffrey out in a hospital bed. His face was still pale as he lay there with his

back

straight. He wore the familiar smile as he looked at her.

“Madam, Mr. Jeffrey’s wound isn’t heavily infected. But because of his busy schedule, it has already

been infected twice. He can’t ignore this anymore. A third time will be life threatening,” the doctor

emphasized.

Life threatening…

Melanie’s vision turned dark for a second.

“Don’t scare her!”



Jeffrey’s voice was weak, but it was still quite intimidating. He extended his hand to hold hers. “I’m fine.

Don’t

worry.”

“We wanted to give him some pain–relieving medicine through the IV drip so he could rest and recover

as soon as possible, but he was worried about you and insisted on only using it once he consoled

you…” the nurse added.

“The doctors have the most authority in the hospital. Can you please not act out of line here?” Melanie

frowned and pushed his hand away. “Give him the medicine and let him sleep.”

“Of course!”

The doctor and nurse then pushed Jeffrey’s bed away while Melanie followed them. Suddenly, her

vision turned dark, and she instantly fell on her back…
