Fled With CEO's Twin Babies novel (Mia and Joe) novel Chapter 1016

What would typically be an hour-long drive was forcefully condensed into forty minutes. Along the way, Jack learned more distressing news... Charlotte had been kidnapped, and Mandy was gravely injured, her fate uncertain.

Jack stumbled his way into the hospital. Perhaps the desperation on his face was so evident that it drew the attention of many around him.

But at that moment, Jack ignored their gaze. He ran straight to the surgery room, noticing medical staff going in and out.

Jack stopped a nurse and asked, "Is Mandy...?"

Upon hearing Mandy's name, the nurse looked at him with sympathy. "Miss Swift was shot. While the bullet didn't hit a vital spot, she's lost a lot of blood and has damage to some internal organs..."

The nurse didn't finish her sentence, but Jack had already grasped the implication.

He took a step back and deeply bowed to the nurse in gratitude.

The nurse was taken aback, quickly sidestepping his gesture. "What are you doing?"

"Please, do everything you can, at any cost, to save her," Jack said, looking intently into the nurse's eyes. The grief in his gaze made the nurse shudder.

She let out a soft sigh, "Don't worry. We'll do everything we can to save the patient. You two won't be separated like this."

With that, she rushed into the emergency room, leaving Jack alone outside the operating room, staring blankly at the door.

From daylight to dusk, Jack seemed immersed in a silent mime. He was deaf to all the sounds around him, and all his emotions were tied to that door.
