Chapter 460 Two Lives


    What a joke!


    Mnie nced at Jeffrey, who was heating milk for her not far away in the kitchen. She took a deep breath and said, “Jeffrey is


    right beside me. Who made you use him again?”


    “He wants to kill me! Obviously, he’s not going to do it himself!” Judas’s voice on the phone was low but twisted with fear.


    “After | got out of prison, we agreed to settle our debts. | just want to live peacefully with my wife. | don’t want to kill anymore! He


    doesn''t believe I''ll keep his secret. He won''t let me live! His people are about to arrive. Pleasee and save me!”


    “How can | save you?” Mnie asked, ying along.Belongs to ? n0velDrama.Org.


    “| know the York family values you a lot. Please ask them for help. I''m begging you. | don’t want to die! | don’t want to see my


    wife die either...”


    Judas’s words continued, and then the call suddenly disconnected.


    Mnie blinked in confusion. When Jeffrey approached her with a ss of milk, she casually


    answered his unasked question, “It was Judas.”


    “What did h


    want?” Jeffrey instantly tensed as he looked at her with concern.


    “He asked for help. He said you wanted to kill him to silence him,” Mnie ryed verbatim.


    Jeffrey raised an eyebrow, somewhat speechless. Then, he pushed a te of eggs, vegetables,


    and fruits in front of her and instructed. “Eat while it’s hot.”


    Mnie nodded and started eating.


    Jeffrey walked to the balcony and made a phone call to instruct his people to keep an eye on Judas’s house, unsure of what


    might happen.


    Once he was done, he returned to Mnie’s side to eat with her. But before they could finish eating, Jeffrey suddenly received a


    phone call.


    Mnie was eating slowly and didn’t pay attention to the content of his call, but she suddenly felt


    Jeffrey''s tone turned cold. She sat up straight and turned to look at him.


    “When did this happen?” His voice was tense and unnatural


    “What''s the situation now?” He deliberately adjusted his tone, but his questions were still urgent.


    “| understand. I''ll be there soon,” he said, then hung up the phone.


    “What''s wrong?” Mnie set down her fork and looked at Jeffrey. He turned to her, his eyes


    suddenly filled with profound plty and concern.


    Mnie was sensitive, and her intuition told her that the phone call he just received brought very bad news. It was even possibly


    rted to her.


    “Mnie, about Mom’s flight...”


    “What about it?” Her first reaction was to think something was wrong with the ne.


    But Jeffrey walked over and ced his hands on her shoulders. “The ne is fine. It arrived safely in Medonia. But William didn’t


    manage to pick her up. On the way here, she got into a car


    ident...


    Mnie’s eyes widened, and her temples throbbed with pain.


    “How is my mom?” She asked, tears flowing uncontrobly.


    Jeffrey hugged her tenderly. “William has taken her to the hospital. We''re going there now. You need to be prepared... I''ll have


    the professore along too.”


    Prepared?


    Mnie realized the seriousness of the situation. With Jeffrey''s demeanor, he wouldn''t give such a warning if the ident wasn’t


    severe.


    She forced herself to stay calm and silently followed Jeffrey to change clothes. Then, they got into the car, and drove quietly to


    the hospital.


    She didn’t say a word the entire journey.


    Jeffrey held her the whole time, but she still felt cold.


    When they arrived at the hospital, they saw Eliza lying calmly in the intensive care unit bed. Her face was pale against the white


    sheets.


    “How is my mom?” Mnie’s voice was unusually hoarse.


    The doctor briefly exined her mother’s condition, but she was too overwhelmed to fully


    understand.


    Professor Turner added from the side, “Don’t worry, your mother has temporarily passed the


    critical stage. | can ensure she’s not in any immediate danger, but...”


    “But what?” Mnie asked.


    243


    “Her brain is severely damaged. She may not wake up for now... or it could be a long time before she wakes up,” Professor


    Turner added.


    “She may never wake up?” Mnie asked.


    No one answered.


    Their silence was her answer.


    Mnie knelt beside her mother’s bed and gently stroked her hair. Then, she tried calling out to


    her, “Mom... Mom? Open your eyes and look at me. It’s me, Mel.


    “You said when you arrived, you had something to tell me, right? I’m still waiting for you to tell


    me...”


    She called out repeatedly, but Eliza didn’t open her eyes to respond.


    Through teary eyes, she seemed to see her childhood home and how the three of them used to be happy together.


    Now, why was she the only one kneeling beside her critically injured mother?


    Tears flowed incessantly, an unprecedented pain that even made her forget how to cry out loud.


    Behind her, Jeffrey and Professor Turner kept trying to console her. But there was a loud buzzing in her ears, and she was


    unable to hear what they were saying. She could only hear her own voice.


    After some time, two medical staff approached her. They injected her with a dose of medication. and then everything went ck


    before she passed out.


    Jeffrey''s brows furrowed with concern as he gently gathered her in his arms and walked out.
