Chapter 618 I Beg You, Save Her The doctor fell silent.
Elias couldn't accept this result. He grabbed the doctor's collar and shouted, "She was still holding my hand when she went in! She was conscious and calling my name! How could she not wake up? What kind of surgery did you perform on her? How could you leave her like this?" William and Jayden quickly moved to restrain Elias. He was falling apart emotionally, consumed by rage and despair. He struggled like a trapped animal and was trying to confront the doctor for answers.
The doctor was upset. "Mr. Undvike, we truly did everything we could...” "Get out!" Jayden shouted at the doctor, who quickly left.
Elias tried to lunge after him, but William grabbed his shoulder and slammed him against the wall.
"Calm down! You're no different from the person who took his hatred out on Ashley!" William said.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtElias gulped, and tears streamed from his eyes.
He struggled against William and said in anguish, "My wife might not wake up! How can you expectto stay calm? Not everyone is like you, indifferent to their wife's death! You don't love Emelie, but I love my wife! She's the woman I've wanted to marry since I was seventeen!" William's expression changed drastically.
Jayden stepped forward. “This happened too suddenly. Even though these doctors are the best in Capebatt City, there's a limit to what they can do. I know stop neurosurgeons. I'll bring them here." He continued, "Elias, Ms. Thornton is still alive. As long as she is, there's hope. Medical technology is advanced. If we can replace a failing heart, there are still options for her." Jayden's words sparked a flicker of hope in Elias, and he nodded heavily.
Yes, there had to be a way. How could she be gone? Someone who had been planning to go for a check-up with him just a few hours ago couldn't have just disappeared.
It was impossible. No way.
"Call them now! Get those doctors here to save her! I beg you, save her... save her..." Elias was willing to beg anyone in any way as long as it meant getting Ashley back.
Jayden said, “I'll make the call right away." He then patted William on the shoulder to signal that Elias' angry outburst was not to be taken personally. Elias was overwhelmed by his emotions. He would lash out like a wild animal and would attack anyone who ctoo close.
Jayden went to the window to make the call while Elias remained motionless against the wall.
Ashton returned from her investigation but stayed at a distance. William noticed her troubled expression and approached her.
He asked, "What's the update?" Ashton shook her head. "Mr. Middleton, Roman was incited by someone to do this." William's jaw clenched. He turned to Elias and said, "Someone deliberately targeted Ms. Thornton." Elias' eyes, which had been dull and lifeless, suddenly lit up. All the rage and hate he felt finally had an outlet to be vented out.
Another person who was anxiously waiting for Ashley's surgery results was Sadie, who was at the Undvike Residence.
"Arthur, is there any news from the hospital?" Sadie asked.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Not yet," Arthur Monroe, the butler, replied simply.
Sadie was concerned. "How can it be taking so long? She's not... dead, is she?" Arthur couldn't bring himself to respond.
Ashley's death would bring srelief for Sadie. However, according to the law of quereever, succession, Ashley's inheritance would go to Elias, her lawful husband.
Gianna would be upset and might reveal everything if she felt cornered. Thus, Sadie needed to help Gianna secure the inheritance to prevent a disastrous revelation. Sadie ordered Arthur, "Letknow as soon as you hear anything." Arthur understood what she meant.
Sadie turned and went upstairs. At three months pregnant, her bellyn wasn't very noticeable yet. Still, she walked carefully while keeping her head down. Just as she reached the last step and was about to reach second floor, a dark shadow suddenly blocked her path.
Sadie looked up in confusion and was shocked to find Elias's hollow, deathly gaze staring back at her.
