Abraham rushed on, \u201cWe tried to take him to the hospital, but he\u00a0<\/p>\n
won\u2019t go. He\u2019s just really agitated. He seemed. to get a little\u00a0<\/p>\n
better a moment ago, but he\u2019s delirious and he keeps\u2026 keeps\u00a0<\/p>\n
calling your name.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cFiona, he always listens to you. Can you please come and see\u00a0<\/p>\n
him?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Talk to him?\u00a0<\/p>\n
I\u2019m so worried about him\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Muffled sounds could be heard in the background, seeming to\u00a0<\/p>\n
be Edward\u2019s pained groans.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Fiona clutched her phone, silent.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alarm bells were screaming in her head:\u00a0<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t go. You just barely broke free, you\u2019re finally seeing things\u00a0<\/p>\n
for what they are. You can\u2019t get sucked back in!\u00a0<\/p>\n
His condition now might be related to Roderick, and that\u2019s a\u00a0<\/p>\n
whole other mess!\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 331\u00a0<\/p>\n
But\u2026 deep down, whether it was the remnants of her past\u00a0<\/p>\n
feelings or just a deep\u2013seated habit of worrying about him, she\u00a0<\/p>\n
couldn\u2019t bring herself to just ignore it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He\u2019s sick\u2026 He\u2019s calling her name\u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n
Memories of when they were inseparable, of how she had given\u00a0<\/p>\n
him her whole heart, flashed through her mind against her will.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She struggled with the decision for a moment, then Fiona\u00a0<\/p>\n
closed her eyes. When she opened them, they held a flash of\u00a0<\/p>\n
resigned resolve.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSend me the address.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her voice sounded hoarse. \u201cI\u2019ll be right over.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Similar to Edward, Roderick also started having physical\u00a0<\/p>\n
problems after he got back to his office.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He was in a meeting when a sweet, metallic taste filled his\u00a0<\/p>\n
throat.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The next moment, blood sprayed from his mouth.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The conference room immediately broke into chaos as Gerry\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 331\u00a0<\/p>\n
rushed to support him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cQuick!\u00a0<\/p>\n
To the hospital!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
At that moment, Madeleine was at home with Kevin.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She was waiting for Kirsten to finish making the soup, so she\u00a0<\/p>\n
could take it to Mrs. Miller at the hospital.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her phone rang sharply. It was a call from Gerry.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A bad feeling instantly gripped her heart.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cChase, can you come to the hospital?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Gerry\u2019s voice was rushed and tense, completely unlike his usual\u00a0<\/p>\n
self.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Madeleine subconsciously glanced at Kevin, then immediately\u00a0<\/p>\n
stood up and walked a few steps away.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGerry, what happened?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Livingston\u2026 Mr. Livingston just coughed up blood. He\u2019s\u00a0<\/p>\n
barely conscious and on the way to the hospital now.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 331\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Madeleine\u2019s eyes widened, her face instantly turned pale, and her mind went blank. She felt the blood drain from her body.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Coughing up blood\u2026 How could he be coughing up blood?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Roderick had always been healthy. Just a while ago, Madeleine had made him get a check\u2013up because she was worried.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMom?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kevin looked up, confused, at his mother who had frozen in\u00a0<\/p>\n
place, and sensitively picked up on the unease.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Madeleine snapped back to reality. Looking at her son\u2019s pure,\u00a0<\/p>\n
worried eyes, she forced down the panic and sobs that were\u00a0<\/p>\n
about to burst from her throat.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She couldn\u2019t panic. She absolutely could not panic!\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kevin was still young, and Roderick was waiting for her at the\u00a0<\/p>\n
hospital!\u00a0<\/p>\n
She took a deep breath, trying to make her voice sound steady,\u00a0<\/p>\n
and even managed a very forced smile.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cKev, Mommy has to go out for a little while. Can you play here\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 331\u00a0<\/p>\n
by yourself, okay?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The little guy nodded understandingly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOkay, Mommy. Go do what you need to do.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Madeleine kissed her son\u2019s forehead and quickly stood up, but\u00a0<\/p>\n
her fingertips couldn\u2019t stop trembling slightly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She practically had to force her weak legs to move as she\u00a0<\/p>\n
quickly gave Kirsten a few instructions before rushing out the\u00a0<\/p>\n
door.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Madeleine sped all the way there, her mind a mess, filled with\u00a0<\/p>\n
images of Roderick\u2019s pale, blood\u2013stained face and Gerry\u2019s\u00a0<\/p>\n
words, \u201cHe\u2019s barely conscious.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She didn\u2019t even remember how she got to the hospital, just\u00a0<\/p>\n
running on pure instinct as she jumped out of the car and\u00a0<\/p>\n
sprinted toward the emergency center entrance.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Panicked and unsteady on her feet, just as she was about to\u00a0<\/p>\n
rush through the revolving door, another hurried figure\u00a0<\/p>\n
approached quickly from the side.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 331\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBang!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The two of them collided unexpectedly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Madeleine staggered from the impact and almost fell, but\u00a0<\/p>\n
luckily the other person instinctively reached out to steady her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m sorry, I\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Madeleine hurriedly looked up to apologize, but her voice died\u00a0<\/p>\n
the moment she saw the other person\u2019s face.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The person holding her up was actually Fiona.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Fiona was clearly stunned as well, a trace of lingering anxiety\u00a0<\/p>\n
and surprise on her exquisitely made\u2013up face.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Why was she here?\u00a0<\/p>\n
And looking so rushed and flustered?\u00a0<\/p>\n
The two women stared at each other, and the air froze for a\u00a0<\/p>\n
moment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Fiona frowned slightly. \u201cYou\u2019re not here for Edward, are you\u2026?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course not!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 331\u00a0<\/p>\n
Madeleine denied it instinctively, then a thought flashed\u00a0<\/p>\n
through her mind.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cEdward is in the hospital too?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Fiona nodded gravely.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Madeleine\u2019s mind was a mess. Without saying more, she\u00a0<\/p>\n
headed toward the emergency room with Fiona.\u00a0<\/p>\n
