Chapter 223 Longing to See Her at the Brink of Death
Melinda half sat up, feeling inexplicably nervous. “How did you get in?”
“I used my access card to enter, Mervin replied as he placed two boxes of handmade pastries on the table. “Do you
want to get up and have some of these? They’re freshly made. Are you feeling better!”
As she bit her lip, she answered, “My stomach still hurts.” Then, she lifted the blanket and got out of bed.
“Really?” He glanced at her and quickly came to her side to support her. “Let’s go to the hospital. Girls shouldn’t
tough it out when they’re away from home.”
With his help, she sat on the edge of the bed and put on her shoes. As she stood up, the conspicuous bloodstain on
the bedsheet caught his eye, and he asked directly, “Are you on your period?”
“No.” She followed his surprised gaze and saw it too.
At this moment, the pain in her stomach became more and more apparent. Without time to think, she leaned
weakly in his arms.
Immediately, Mervin held her waist with one hand and grabbed a blanket with the other, wrapping it around her
lower body. Then, he lifted her and swiftly strode out of the room. His sequence of actions was clean and neat.

Suddenly, Melinda felt a sharp pain, causing cold sweat to break out on her forehead. As she clung to his neck, she
raised her gaze and looked at him weakly. His resolute chin bore a resemblance to Stanley’s. At this moment, she
thought of him again. I miss him so much
After Mervin burst out of the elevator, he carried her to the side of the road and hailed a cab. With her in his arms,
he sat in the backseat. “To the hospital. Hurry!”
“On it.” The moment the car door was closed, the vehicle raced toward the hospital.
In the cab, Mervin used a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from Stanley’s forehead with an anxious expression.
“Hang in there. We’ll be there soon.
Thank you, Mervin.” She saw him as a younger brother and was full of gratxo.com fast updateitude. “Please
don’t tell Stanley about this. I beg you.”
Although he didn’t know what Stanley had done to her, he had no intention of getting involved in any of it. “Alright, I
promise you. In exchange, you have to promise me to hang in there too.”
“A stomachache won’t kill me.” She forced a smile and joked with him.
Yet, he rolled his eyes at her. “Who knows? When you’re unlucky, even sneezing could be fatal.”
Hearing that left her with no comeback.
Meanwhile, in the hospital, Stanley was still in the emergency room, with no good news whatsoever. He was
covered in blood and barely conscious.
Around him, several neurology specialists gathered, working together to come up with a plan.
“Chief, we’ve detected that Mr. Fox’s will to survive is getting weaker.”
“His lips have been moving, trying to say something!”
“Go listen!”
Two doctors immediately leaned close to Stanley’s bloodied lips, straining their ears to listen for anything.
At the same time, the other doctors were doing their utmost to stop the bleeding as they gave him blood
transfusions, trying to pull him back from the brink of death.
“Melinda… Melinda…” Stanley couldn’t feel the pain, but with his remaining willpower, he weakly called out her
name.
The two doctors with excellent hearing had to exert a lot of effort to hear clearly. “Melinda?”
“Who’s that?”
“I’m not sure.

At this moment, a helicopter arrived in Navelie and landed on the rooftop of the hospital. Jennifer and her
entourage got off the helicopter and headed straight for the elevator. They arrived at the entrance of the
emergency room within minutes, their eyes swollen and red.
“Miss Fox, Miss Keller.” Several of Stanley’s accompanying staff saluted them with sorrowful expressions.
Meanwhile, Stephanie and Hobson supported Jennifer as she approached the tightly closed door of the emergency
room. She gently placed her hands on the door, for this was the closest she could get to her
son.
Suddenly, her vision blurred, her legs weakened, and her body trembled. Her spirit seemed to have suffered a huge
blow as well. “My son. Stanley… Hang in there.”
The warning light above the emergency room door kept flashing, indicating that the patient’s situation was
extremely critical.
Just then, Monica broke down and started weeping. Yet, her excellent upbringing made her restrain herself from
crying out loud and causing a scene in the hospital.
After Jennifer gradually regained her senses, she turned her gaze slowly, her swollen eyes carrying a hint of
coldness. “How did the accident happen?”
