Chapter 423

However, no matter how hard she wailed, the eyes of the man lying on the ground still remained shut.

An overwhelming sense of despair filled her entire being. It was like the entire world turned dark.

Inconsolably, she screamed, “GIDEON LEITH!!!”

Subsequently, she felt a sense of nausea in her throat, followed by a sharp pain in her abdomen. Her vision dimmed and she fainted.

...

When Nell awoke, she found herself lying on a hospital bed.

The moment her eyes opened, her automatically reached out to her side, but it was empty.

Her heart clenched. She hastily jumped down the bed and ran into the corridor.

Nell had just gotten to the door when she was stopped by a doctor. “Hey, where are you going?”

Nell grabbed him and shrieked hoarsely, “Where is Gideon Leith? Where is he?”

The doctor exhaled heavily. “You mean the injured man who was transported here together with you?”

Nell nodded tersely. Her expression was grave. “Where is he? Tell me now!”

“Oh, he’s still in surgery. Hey...”

Before the doctor could finish speaking, she had already sprinted away like a gust of wind.

On the third floor, at the entrance of the operating room.

When Nell got there, the neon sign on top of the operating room was still lit, which meant that the patient had not come out yet. The surgery has not ended.

The Griffin family stood around. Behind them were several stern-faced bodyguards.

Sitting atop the chairs were Old Madam Griffin and Bailey.

Nell’s face turned pale.

She staggered over to them. She dared not ask Old Madam Griffin, so she grabbed Bailey’s arm and asked, “How is he? Is he okay?”

Bailey looked at her panicked expression and tightened his eyebrows. After a long pause, he reluctantly replied, “The doctor said that his condition is severe. According to them, his chances of survival is less than ten percent.”

Upon hearing those words, Nell felt like she had just been clobbered in the head. It felt like the sky had just fallen on her.

She fell a step backward, her entire body almost collapsing. Fortunately, Bailey caught her in time.

“Sister-in-law!”

Old Madam Griffin was alarmed by Bailey’s loud yell, so she turned around to look at them.

Nell shook her head, tears streaming down her face.

It’s all my fault. Why did I trust her so easily? If I hadn’t been so stupid, this would not have happened. You wouldn’t have been attacked, or injured, I’m so sorry.”

Bailey looked at her misery and felt his heartstrings tugged.

Softly, he said, “Don’t be too hard on yourself. There is still a ten percent chance. It doesn’t mean he won’t make it.”

Old Madam Griffin also hurried over to console her. “Yes, don't despair, lest Gideon survives but you are the one who perishes.”

Nell was supported by them to sit on a chair.

Bailey asked, “Sister-in-law, you were at the scene. Do you know who is the assailant?”

Nell gripped the armrest so hard that her fingers hurt.

Her gaze turned ice-cold. Then, she quietly spoke. “I know.”

“Who?”

“Her name is Evelyn Brook. I thought that she was my best friend in this lifetime, but turns out... Hmph!”

She laughed self-loathingly. She did not know whether she was laughing at her own naivety and failure, or the sheer absurdness of the situation.

Bailey’s eyes widened.

He grabbed her arm hard and said sharply, “What did you say? What was her name?”

Nell regarded him steely and said with a sneer. “Evelyn Brooks. That’s her name. She called me and lied to me. She told me she was drunk and asked me to pick her up. In fact, she had already planned it all. When we weren’t paying attention, she stabbed a knife into his chest. She is the murderer!”

Bailey was utterly stunned. Disbelief flooded his heart.

After the incident, Bailey had sent people to check the surveillance cameras, but the tapes had been destroyed, so they could not find anything.

Some people in the crowd described the assailant’s appearance, but they could only say that she was a beautiful woman.

No one could properly describe how she looked. Due to the chaos, they only managed to take one look at her before she escaped.

For this reason, they thought that it was an assassin who had been in ambush for a long time to assassinate Gideon Leith.

Unexpectedly, this person was...

Bailey fell back heavily in his wheelchair. His face paled.

The next moment, he gave instructions to the person who had been standing next to him. The person immediately left at top speed.

Nell looked at the person’s departing figure, she did not know what was going on.

Was it too much to hope for him to catch the killer?

She forced a smile. It was completely detached from her. Her lips were curled but her eyes were red.

Just this moment, a doctor came from downstairs. When the doctor saw Nell, she called out to her anxiously, “Hey, why are you here? I’ve been looking for you the whole time. You haven’t done your ultrasound! Hurry, come with me.”

Her words caused Nell to be momentarily stumped.

Bailey, who was leaving in his wheelchair, stopped on the spot. He turned and looked at the doctor in shock.

Nell did not understand. “Why do I need an ultrasound?”

The doctor creased her eyebrows. “Don’t you know? You’re pregnant. Previously, you were showing early signs of miscarriage, so we were waiting for you to wake up to do the ultrasound. However, you escaped as soon as you woke up. Now, come with me!”

Nell was completely shaken to the core, including Bailey, whose eyes widened.

A surge of joy and sorrow attacked her simultaneously. She did not know whether she should laugh or cry.

Slowly, she rested her hand on her stomach. Inside her, a life was growing.

This... is his child?

Gideon Leith, did you hear that? We’re going to have another child!

Therefore, you must survive, you must live on.

The tears began to flow again.

Rooted to the spot, she squatted down and covered her face with her hands. She felt like a piece of her heart had been ripped apart. It hurt so much that she could not breathe.

Bailey felt his eyes redden as well.

He stared at her for a while, until he felt the pain in his heart recede a little.

Gently, he told her, “Sister-in-law, you should follow the doctor for an ultrasound. Leave the rest to me. Nothing will happen, I promise.”

He made a phone call, and soon, another female doctor walked over.

“This is my friend, Patricia. She is an obstetrics and gynecology doctor. Patricia, inside her belly is my big brother’s seed, you must help me take good care of her.”

Patricia wore black-rimmed glasses and looked very demure. She nodded.

“Alright, I understand, don’t worry!”

Bailey nodded and turned to leave.

After he left, Patricia stepped forward and persuaded Nell, “Mrs. Leith, right now, your child’s health is most important. Surely you don’t want Mr. Leith to be greeted with bad news when he wakes up!”

Nell was slightly aghast. She raised her head to look at Patricia, then finally nodded.

In the ultrasound room.

Nell was lying on a cold bed, allowing the cold instrument to glide gently across her stomach.

The instrument next to her showed a fetal heartbeat. The doctor said to her, “The baby’s condition is slightly unstable, and there are warning signs of miscarriage. However, it’s still stable for the time being. As long as you take care of your emotions and don’t get too overworked, there shouldn’t be any major issues.”
