Fled With CEO's Twin Babies novel (Mia and Joe) novel Chapter 1017

Jack peered through the glass at Mandy, her face still pale, with a whirlpool of mixed emotions in his eyes.

It was the first time he realized how dangerous Mandy's previous life had been.

If she could get hurt this badly in Zyphoria, how many life-threatening situations had Mandy faced over the past years?

Jack felt a tight knot in his heart.

He thought the crisis was over, but to his shock, Mandy's condition drastically worsened in the middle of the night. She not only spiked a fever but also slipped into shock multiple times.

Doctors and nurses rushed into the room with medical equipment, swiftly initiating resuscitation efforts.

Jack had never known just how agonizing waiting could be.

Though the doctor and the nurses were constantly moving, it felt like only a few minutes had passed.

"How could this happen?"

Seeing the attending doctor frown, Jack's anxiety grew. His gaze clung desperately to Mandy, fearing that he might miss some ominous change if he looked away even for a second.

His footsteps unintentionally led him to the door of the hospital room, longing to be by her side.

A nurse blocked his attempt to rush into the room, explaining patiently, "Her injury is internal, so such complications are expected. We'll do our utmost to stabilize her."

Yet Jack remained uneasy.

He didn't want to stand passively outside, watching her pale face as she was being resurrected on the bed.

He just wanted to be closer to her.
