Chapter 391 Youâre 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.
âMadam? Whatâs wrong with the boss?â they instinctively asked.
Melanie helped Jeffrey to sit on the seat as comfortably as possible. She wasnât going to answer stupid questions. Instead, she looked around and asked, âWhereâs the nearest hospital?â
Before William could answer, Jeffrey immediately said in a coarse voice, âGo to a Morgan Groupâs hospital.â
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 couldnât 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, âGo to the nearest hospital owned by the company!â
âUnderstood!â
T âWilliam, call the hospital and tell them to prepare for the green lane. Donât waste time!â She thought everything through and gave orders to William.
âOf course, Madam,â William replied smartly.
The car engine started to roar and Melanie closed the door on Jeffreyâs side before helping him with his seat belt.
âWear your own seat belt. Take care of yourself...â Jeffrey didnât forget to remind her, even when he was breathing heavily.
Melanie glanced at him and said, âWhatâs there for me to take care of? Take care of yourself!â
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.
âDonât worry, Iâm fine.â
Jeffrey observed her expressions carefully as he consoled her.
âDonât speak.â
She held his hand. âWeâre reaching the hospital soon. Everything will be fine.â
âWith you here, thereâs nothing for me to worry about.â 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.
+15 BONUS 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 Jeffreyâs shirt was drenched from all his sweat...
âHow is he doing? Why does he have a fever?â
Melanie jogged together with the other medical staff and the doctor explained to her. âThere are signs of infection and inflammation on his wound.â
âIs it dangerous?â she asked.
âIt can go either way. It depends on the area and how much surrounding tissue has already been infected.
Weâll perform first aid on him immediately.â
The door into the emergency room closed and Melanie could feel her heart pounding.
This took her back to the Yorksâ 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 couldnât 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.
âDidnât the doctor at the Yorksâ residence say that his wound would start healing in three days? Why is it still bleeding?â Melanie realized something and asked William.
âThe boss... didnât rest like heâs supposed to...â
Melanie turned around and glared at William, not sure why he was mumbling like that.
âTo tell you the truth, the boss came back on the same flight with you. Thatâs why... His wound didnât heal...â William decided to tell her the truth.
Melanie was speechless.
She bit her lips.
She knew that Jeffreyâs 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 didnât 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 213 +15 BONUS âWhy didnât he tell me?â she asked.
âThe boss said he didnât want to disturb you, worried that youâd get upset if you saw him.â William tried his best to reproduce the same words. âMadam, to be honest, he really does care about you...â
Melanie could feel her heart thumping and said nothing else.
About half an hour later.
The emergency roomâs 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.
âMadam, Mr. Jeffreyâs wound isnât heavily infected. But because of his busy schedule, it has already been infected twice. He canât ignore this anymore. A third time will be life threatening,â the doctor emphasized.
Life threatening...
Melanieâs vision turned dark for a second.
âDonât scare her!â
Jeffreyâs voice was weak, but it was still quite intimidating. He extended his hand to hold hers. âIâm fine. Donât worry.â
âWe wanted to give him some painârelieving 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...â the nurse added.
âThe doctors have the most authority in the hospital. Can you please not act out of line here?â Melanie frowned and pushed his hand away. âGive him the medicine and let him sleep.â
âOf course!â
The doctor and nurse then pushed Jeffreyâs bed away while Melanie followed them. Suddenly, her vision turned dark, and she instantly fell on her back...
