    Melinda half sat up, feeling inexplicably nervous. “How did you get in?”


    “I used my ess card to enter, Mervin replied as he ced two boxes of handmade pastries on the


    table. “Do you want to get up and have some of these? They’re freshly made. Are you feeling better!”


    As she bit her lip, she answered, “My stomach still hurts.” Then, she lifted the nket and got out of


    bed.


    “Really?” He nced at her and quickly came to her side to support her. “Let’s go to the hospital. Girls


    shouldn’t tough it out when they’re away from home.”


    With his help, she sat on the edge of the bed and put on her shoes. As she stood up, the conspicuous


    bloodstain on the bedsheet caught his eye, and he asked directly, “Are you on your period?”

    “No.” She followed his surprised gaze and saw it too.


    At this moment, the pain in her stomach became more and more apparent. Without time to think, she


    leaned weakly in his arms.


    Immediately, Mervin held her waist with one hand and grabbed a nket with the other, wrapping it


    around her lower body. Then, he lifted her and swiftly strode out of the room. His sequence of actions


    was clean and neat.


    “Hang in there!” Heforted her as he carried her into the elevator.


    Suddenly, Melinda felt a sharp pain, causing cold sweat to break out on her forehead. As she clung to


    his neck, she raised her gaze and looked at him weakly. His resolute chin bore a resemnce to


    Stanley’s. At this moment, she thought of him again. I miss him so much


    After Mervin burst out of the elevator, he carried her to the side of the road and hailed a cab. With her


    in his arms, he sat in the backseat. “To the hospital. Hurry!”


    “On it.” The moment the car door was closed, the vehicle raced toward the hospital.


    In the cab, Mervin used a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from Stanley’s forehead with an anxious


    expression. “Hang in there. We’ll be there soon.


    Thank you, Mervin.” She saw him as a younger brother and was full of gratnovelxo fast


    updateitude. “Please don’t tell Stanley about this. I beg you.”


    Although he didn’t know what Stanley had done to her, he had no intention of getting involved in any of


    it. “Alright, I promise you. In exchange, you have to promise me to hang in there too.”


    “A stomachache won’t kill me.” She forced a smile and joked with him.


    Yet, he rolled his eyes at her. “Who knows? When you’re unlucky, even sneezing could be fatal.”


    Hearing that left her with noeback.


    Meanwhile, in the hospital, Stanley was still in the emergency room, with no good news whatsoever. He


    was covered in blood and barely conscious.


    Around him, several neurology specialists gathered, working together toe up with a n.


    “Chief, we’ve detected that Mr. Fox’s will to survive is getting weaker.”


    “His lips have been moving, trying to say something!”


    “Go listen!”


    Two doctors immediately leaned close to Stanley’s bloodied lips, straining their ears to listen for


    anything.


    At the same time, the other doctors were doing their utmost to stop the bleeding as they gave him


    blood transfusions, trying to pull him back from the brink of death.


    “Melinda… Melinda…” Stanley couldn’t feel the pain, but with his remaining willpower, he weakly called


    out her name.


    The two doctors with excellent hearing had to exert a lot of effort to hear clearly. “Melinda?”


    “Who’s that?”


    “I’m not sure.


    “No matter what, we need to ask his family to find this person!”


    At this moment, a helicopter arrived in Navelie andnded on the rooftop of the hospital. Jennifer and


    her entourage got off the helicopter and headed straight for the elevator. They arrived at the entrance


    of the emergency room within minutes, their eyes swollen and red.


    “Miss Fox, Miss Keller.” Several of Stanley’s apanying staff saluted them with sorrowful


    expressions.


    Meanwhile, Stephanie and Hobson supported Jennifer as she approached the tightly closed door of the


    emergency room. She gently ced her hands on the door, for this was the closest she could get to


    her


    son.


    Suddenly, her vision blurred, her legs weakened, and her body trembled. Her spirit seemed to have


    suffered a huge blow as well. “My son. Stanley… Hang in there.”


    The warning light above the emergency room door kept shing, indicating that the patient’s situation


    was extremely critical.


    Just then, Monica broke down and started weeping. Yet, her excellent upbringing made her restrain


    herself from crying out loud and causing a scene in the hospital.


    After Jennifer gradually regained her senses, she turned her gaze slowly, her swollen eyes carrying a


    hint of coldness. “How did the ident happen?”
