Chapter 496
Chapter 496 ident
When Hank saw Elspeth and Callum rushing over, he sorted out his emotions a little bit to not look too
unkempt.
"How did you hear about this?"
Hank actually found out earlier than Elspeth did, and he was even one flight earlier than her.
"Yelena calls me every day, but she didn''t today. When I called her, the person who answered was her
assistant who told me everything."
Hank had broken out in cold sweat the moment he heard the news in the afternoon.
He didn''t hesitate to end the meeting he was having with his business partner. While he was driving to
the airport, he asked his assistant to buy a ticket for him so that he could rush over as soon as
possible.
"How is Yelena?" Elspeth asked.
Hank took in a deep breath and answered, "Her high fever is not going away. She even has rashes all
over her body. The doctor said it is not looking too good. She needs to get a bone marrow transnt as
quickly as possible or else, she could… be gone just like that."
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."This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.
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-ever
competition 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."
"It''s okay. I want to look after her." Hank didn''t care even if his legs werepletely numb.
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 the
competition 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 and
compete 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.
Bang!
It was pure chaos in an instant as debris flew and the car caught on fire.
The cheering audience started screaming instead. Seeing the shocking ident in front of them, Max''s
fans all stepped forward to save him.
"Watch out, everyone! Don''t get too close to the car. It could explode anytime!"
As Jinn guided the audience, he also instructed a few people to pull Max out of the car.
Max had suffered severe trauma to his head and fractured his right leg. He was now barely awake.
Before hepletely lost consciousness, he mumbled under his breath, "Yelena… Send me to the
hospital she is in…"
