Chapter 497


    These words were a big shock for Elspeth. She had to calm her emotions before she


    asked, “Has a suitable bone marrow been found?”


    “Not yet, but I have sent my men to look into it. I should be able to get something in


    three days at the earliest.”


    Three days were indeed the fastest they could do, but considering Yelena’s current


    condition, they didn’t know if she couldst another three days.


    “I have also asked someone to find a suitable one. It will also take about three days.”


    Hank turned around and looked at Yelena lying on the bed, her lips andplexion


    pale. Her initially chubby face had also be sunken. It killed them to look at her in


    her current state.


    “Yelena has always been very lucky. She will be fine this time as well.” Elspeth could


    onlyfort both Hank and herself this way.


    “I know,” Hank uttered before tightly wrapping his hands around Yelena’s.


    It was only then that Elspeth noticed that Hank was half-kneeling on the floor in order


    to get closer to Yelena. When he held Yelena’s hand and pressed it to his face, he had


    a devoted look on his face that made people pity him.


    “Hank, you must have rushed here too. If there is nothing else, you should take a rest


    first. Callum and I will be watching Yelena here.”


    Elspeth could tell from his bloodshot eyes that he must have left work and rushed over


    here. She wanted to let him take a rest for a while.

    “It’s okay. I want to look after her.” Hank didn’t care even if his legs werepletely


    numb.


    He knew that Yelena wouldin about him not paying attention to her if she didn’t


    see him the first thing after waking up.


    “Alright. I’ll spread the word to see if there is any suitable bone marrow.”


    Elspeth then sat down at a table off to one side and opened theptop she brought


    with her. She sent messages to people in the organization and assigned more people


    to look around.


    Despite doing all that, she still wasn’t satisfied. She quickly turned on herptop and


    started to contact a few more hospitals.


    That was when her phone suddenly rang.


    “Miss Elspeth, did something happen to Yelena?!”


    The voice on the other side was extremely anxious. However, even though the


    environment was noisy, it didn’t hide the concern in Max’s voice.


    “Have you heard about it?”


    “Mhm. How is she doing now? Which hospital is she in? Give me the address. I’ll be


    there right away.”


    Elspeth wanted to tell him, but when she lowered her head and saw Hank in front of


    her, she suddenly began to hesitate.


    “Tell me, Miss Elspeth! Where is the hospital?”


    Right then, the firm voice of a middle-aged man suddenly came from the other end of


    the line. “What are you doing, Max? It is your turn topete soon. Stop talking on


    the phone.”


    Max had no choice but to set his phone aside as he asked his coach in a hushed


    voice, “My friend is sick, Mr. Jinn. Is it okay if I go see her?”


    Jinn immediately spat, “I’ll repeat myself. It is your turn topete soon. This is your


    first-everpetition here and I don’t want to see any mistakes. Do you understand?”


    Seeing how he couldn’t persuade his coach, Max clenched his jaw and took off his


    racing suit.


    “What are you trying to do? Are you going against my words?” The coach was so


    angry that he was about to get a heart attack when he saw how bold Max was.


    “I’m not, Mr. Jinn. I’m begging you to let me go.”


    Jinn shook his head and coldly refuted, “It is your turn up next. You’d better not make


    any mistakes. I don’t understand what kind of friend it is that you’re willing to give up


    thepetition like this.”


    “Mr. Jinn, she is the woman I love.”


    Elspeth felt some kind of emotion surge when she picked up those words from the


    other end of the call.


    “Is your future or your love life more important to you?”


    Max didn’t even need to think. “She is. She is my life.”


    Jinn was speechless after hearing this, but he still firmly refused. “You can get done


    with thepetition within half an hour. Can’t you leave after that?”


    Max wanted to continue to persuade Jinn, but Elspeth quickly chimed in, “You should


    go ahead andpete if you really can’t leave. I’ll be looking after Yelena here. It will


    be fine for the time being.”


    Max started to open his mouth, but he had no choice but to relent when he saw the


    disappointed look in his coach’s eyes.


    After hanging up the phone, he put on his racing suit again. However, his mind was


    full of thoughts about how Yelena was now lying on a hospital bed.


    Leukemia was no ordinary disease and it could cause an insane amount of pain.


    Just thinking about how afraid of pain Yelena was put Max in a conflicted mood.


    His mind was somewhere else up till the start of thepetition. He only wanted to


    finish the race so that he could quickly go to Yelena.


    Jinn thought that Max had figured it out when he saw how Max drove faster than he


    usually did. That was until he realized something was wrong.


    “Max, you’re driving too fast! It’s too dangerous!”


    Unfortunately, Max wouldn’t notice anything else when he was on the track. He


    unknowingly stepped on the elerator as he wanted to go faster and faster.


    However, he never considered how unstable the car could get at high speed.


    Suddenly, he lost control and mmed into the infield wall.
