Chapter 54
I was closest to the door, so I rushed over first, my face filled with anxiety as I asked, “Doctor, how is she?
Soon, Gavin and the others gathered around. “How is my mom?”
“Don’t worry. The patient has been stabilized, but she is still very weak and will need to stay in the hospital for further observation.”
Gavin let out a long sigh of relief. “Thank you, doctor.”
When the doctor left, I finally relaxed. Thankfully, Amelia was okay.
“I told you, Mrs. Gould is blessed. She’ll be fine, Tom said with a smile, turning his head slightly to meet my gaze directly.
I nodded. “Yes. ”
Just then, Greg arrived. After exchanging pleasantries with Gavin and the others, he mentioned that he needed to speak with Tom about something and took him to his office.
“Wait here for me. I’ll take you home later,” Tom said in a low voice, glancing at Gavin and the others before leaving
Tabsent–mindedly replied, “Okay”
After he left, I remained lost in thought. Amelia’s condition was strange, and it made me suspicious. She had always been in good health and took great care of herself. Even if, as Victor claimed, it was due to stress, it didn’t seem possible for her health to deteriorate so rapidly in just one week.
With that in mind, I immediately walked toward the doctor’s office to inquire further about her condition.
However, Gavin blocked my way before I could take more than a few steps.
“Grace, the whole city is buzzing with rumors that we’re getting a divorce. Your scheme has succeeded. Aren’t you happy?” His voice was low, his eyes bloodshot, showing he hadn’t rested well in days
I frowned, suppressing my anger. Then, sarcastically, I replied, “So, when will you go and finalize the divorce paperwork?”
“Don’t even think about it!” He gritted his teeth, his voice filled with fury. “I’ll never divorce you, even if I die. Stop dreaming! I won’t let you live happily with Tom!”
A wave of helplessness washed over me. What exactly was he holding onto?
Was he unwilling to accept it?
But he clearly didn’t love me.
Why was he clinging onto this so stubbornly?
“Do as you please,” I said, not wanting to engage further. I tossed a cold remark before turning and walking toward the doctor’s office.
After I explained my intentions, the doctor frowned and said, “Actually, the patient’s condition is somewhat unusual ”
My heart tightened–just as I suspected.
“Doctor, can you determine the cause of her illness?”
“It will take some time.”
I quickly grabbed a piece of paper from the
desk and wrote down my phone number. “This is my number. Can you please contact me once you know the
The doctor glanced at the note and nodded. “Okay.”
“Thank you, doctor.”
Alter thanking him, I turned to leave. However, I heard someone call my name before I could take more than a few steps. “Grace”
It was Mandy.
I narrowed my eyes slightly she really was relentless.
