Love's Perfect Match

Chapter 496 Accident

When Hank saw Elspeth and Callum rushing over, he sorted out his emotions a little bit to not look too unkempt.

"How did you hear about this?"

Hank actually found out earlier than Elspeth did, and he was even one flight earlier than her.

"Yelena calls me every day, but she didn't today. When I called her, the person who answered was her assistant who

told me everything."

Hank had broken out in cold sweat the moment he heard the news in the afternoon.

He didn't hesitate to end the meeting he was having with his business partner. While he was driving to the airport,

he asked his assistant to buy a ticket for him so that he could rush over as soon as possible.

"How is Yelena?" Elspeth asked.

Hank took in a deep breath and answered, "Her high fever is not going away. She even has rashes all over her body.

The doctor said it is not looking too good. She needs to get a bone marrow transplant as quickly as possible or else,

she could… be gone just like that."

These words were a big shock for Elspeth. She had to calm her emotions before she asked, "Has a suitable bone

marrow been found?"

"Not yet, but I have sent my men to look into it. I should be able to get something in three days at the earliest."

Three days were indeed the fastest they could do, but considering Yelena's current condition, they didn't know if

she could last another three days.

"I have also asked someone to find a suitable one. It will also take about three days."

Hank turned around and looked at Yelena lying on the bed, her lips and complexion pale. Her initially chubby face

had also become sunken. It killed them to look at her in her current state.

"Yelena has always been very lucky. She will be fine this time as well." Elspeth could only comfort both Hank and

herself this way.

"I know," Hank uttered before tightly wrapping his hands around Yelena's.

It was only then that Elspeth noticed that Hank was half-kneeling on the floor in order to get closer to Yelena. When

he held Yelena's hand and pressed it to his face, he had a devoted look on his face that made people pity him.

"Hank, you must have rushed here too. If there is nothing else, you should take a rest first. Callum and I will be

watching Yelena here."

Elspeth could tell from his bloodshot eyes that he must have left work and rushed over here. She wanted to let him

take a rest for a while.

"It's okay. I want to look after her." Hank didn't care even if his legs were completely numb.

He knew that Yelena would complain about him not paying attention to her if she didn't see him the first thing after

waking up.

"Alright. I'll spread the word to see if there is any suitable bone marrow."

Elspeth then sat down at a table off to one side and opened the laptop she brought with her. She sent messages to

people in the organization and assigned more people to look around.

Despite doing all that, she still wasn't satisfied. She quickly turned on her laptop and started to contact a few more

hospitals.

That was when her phone suddenly rang.

"Miss Elspeth, did something happen to Yelena?!"

The voice on the other side was extremely anxious. However, even though the environment was noisy, it didn't hide

the concern in Max's voice.

"Have you heard about it?"

"Mhm. How is she doing now? Which hospital is she in? Give me the address. I'll be there right away."

Elspeth wanted to tell him, but when she lowered her head and saw Hank in front of her, she suddenly began to

hesitate.

"Tell me, Miss Elspeth! Where is the hospital?"

Right then, the firm voice of a middle-aged man suddenly came from the other end of the line. "What are you

doing, Max? It is your turn to compete soon. Stop talking on the phone."

Max had no choice but to set his phone aside as he asked his coach in a hushed voice, "My friend is sick, Mr. Jinn. Is

it okay if I go see her?"

Jinn immediately spat, "I'll repeat myself. It is your turn to compete soon. This is your first-ever competition here

and I don't want to see any mistakes. Do you understand?"

Seeing how he couldn't persuade his coach, Max clenched his jaw and took off his racing suit.

"What are you trying to do? Are you going against my words?" The coach was so angry that he was about to get a

heart attack when he saw how bold Max was.

"I'm not, Mr. Jinn. I'm begging you to let me go."

Jinn shook his head and coldly refuted, "It is your turn up next. You'd better not make any mistakes. I don't

understand what kind of friend it is that you're willing to give up the competition like this."

"Mr. Jinn, she is the woman I love."

Elspeth felt some kind of emotion surge when she picked up those words from the other end of the call.

"Is your future or your love life more important to you?"

Max didn't even need to think. "She is. She is my life."

Jinn was speechless after hearing this, but he still firmly refused. "You can get done with the competition within half

an hour. Can't you leave after that?"

Max wanted to continue to persuade Jinn, but Elspeth quickly chimed in, "You should go ahead and compete if you

really can't leave. I'll be looking after Yelena here. It will be fine for the time being."

Max started to open his mouth, but he had no choice but to relent when he saw the disappointed look in his coach's

eyes.

After hanging up the phone, he put on his racing suit again. However, his mind was full of thoughts about how

Yelena was now lying on a hospital bed.

Leukemia was no ordinary disease and it could cause an insane amount of pain.

Just thinking about how afraid of pain Yelena was put Max in a conflicted mood.

His mind was somewhere else up till the start of the competition. He only wanted to finish the race so that he could

quickly go to Yelena.

Jinn thought that Max had figured it out when he saw how Max drove faster than he usually did. That was until he

realized something was wrong.

"Max, you're driving too fast! It's too dangerous!"

Unfortunately, Max wouldn't notice anything else when he was on the track. He unknowingly stepped on the

accelerator as he wanted to go faster and faster. However, he never considered how unstable the car could get at

high speed. Suddenly, he lost control and slammed into the infield wall.

Bang!

It was pure chaos in an instant as debris flew and the car caught on fire.

The cheering audience started screaming instead. Seeing the shocking accident in front of them, Max's fans all

stepped forward to save him.

"Watch out, everyone! Don't get too close to the car. It could explode anytime!"

As Jinn guided the audience, he also instructed a few people to pull Max out of the car.

Max had suffered severe trauma to his head and fractured his right leg. He was now barely awake.

Before he completely lost consciousness, he mumbled under his breath, "Yelena… Send me to the hospital she is

in…"
