Ice-Cold Ceo, Crazy Love By Christin Donald (Edward) novel Chapter 176

Chapter 176 

In the hospital

Ben felt his heart skip a beat and had a bad feeling

He covered his chest with a blank expression on his face. How long had it been since he last felt this way

Ben, the threeday deadline is up,Leo said from the side. Have you decided whether you want to get a divorce or give her the shares?” 

Ben suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and took out a divorce agreement expressionlessly

Susan had already signed her name on the divorce agreement

Although Ben hadn’t signed his name on it yet, no one thought that Ben wouldn’t

Leo took a look and felt a little regretful that he couldn’t get any more benefits out of it, but he still said reluctantly. Okay. You should settle the divorce as soon as possible.” 

Ben,Isabella, who was next to him, asked tentatively, Will I be attending your wedding soon?” 

Ben glanced at her and said indifferently. Who knows?” 

He didn’t deny it directly

Isabella was excited immediately

Ben! Is it Monica? You’re getting married again?Leo asked Ben curiously

Who knows?Ben replied again calmly

Leo understood immediately. He replied with a smile, It’s basically settled then. As your younger brother, seeing that my business has yet to pick up, I can’t afford to give you a gift. I’ll just give you a few words of congratulations 

for now.” 

Why are you congratulating him? It is not confirmed yet.Isabella’s voice became sharp suddenly

Leo looked at her in confusion. So what if it’s not confirmed yet? Why are you so agitated?” 

Realizing that she had lost her composure, Isabella coughed a few times and said, I’m sorry, II’m just too shocked.‘ 

What’s there to be shocked about?Leo looked at her strangely

Isabella smiled perfunctorily and said nothing

Just then, a joyful voice rang out

Ben, I’m here.Monica was dressed brightly and came happily

over to 

She walked over to Ben and held his hand

Ben resisted the urge to push her away and didn’t move

Isabella’s face fell immediately

Ben, why did you call Ms. Lynn over?Leo asked curiously

Monica said coquettishly, I heard that Mrs. Landor was hospitalized, so I came to visit her myself. After all, she is Ben’s mother and my elder too.” 

Isabella couldn’t help asking, Is it the proper way to dress like this to see a patient?” 

Monica’s outfit was suitable for attending a gathering of socialites, but it was obviously a little out of place if she was coming to visit someone at the hospital

Monica said matteroffactly, I’m dressed well, and Mrs. Landor would be happy to see me. Maybe she’ll recover from her illness then.” 

Mom is in a vegetable now. She can’t see you!Isabella couldn’t stand it anymore and said

Oh, how did she become a vegetable?Monica was shocked. It’s so sad. If I become a vegetable, I’d rather die.” 

What do you mean?Leo got angry immediately

Even though he never respected his mother much, he couldn’t help but take Monica’s words as an insult

Monica didn’t think too much about it. She was plain stupid. Seeing that Leo was angry, she couldn’t help but say as if she was wronged, II didn’t say anything.” 

Leo was livid

Monica doesn’t mean it, so don’t take it to heart,Ben said indifferently

His words made Isabella livid

That’s right. Don’t take it to heart, Monica said happily

Isabella clenched her fists, her nails digging deep into her flesh

She couldn’t stand Monica

She couldn’t bear seeing her for another minute

If she could get rid of Susan, she would definitely be able to get rid of Monica as well

However, she had to act fast

Otherwise, it would not be easy for her to make a move when they remarried

Don’t just stand there. Let’s go to the ward and have a look,” Ben said as he shook off Monica’s hand carelessly and took the lead to walk into the ward

Leo and Isabella hurried after him

In the ward

Penelope was still lying on the bed, looking like she was on her deathbed

Numerous instruments were connected to her brain and heart, monitoring her condition

Leo put on an act and asked the nurse a few questions before finding an excuse to slip away

Suddenly

The readings of the monitoring instruments changed suddenly

The instrument connected to her brain suddenly lit up with a green light and made a sharp noise

Leo jumped in fright. Whatwhat’s going on?” 

The nurse was pleasantly surprised. The patient’s brain has a huge fluctuation.” 

What does that mean?Leo asked

That is to say, the patient may wake up soon.The nurse pressed the bell in surprise

After a while, a large group of physicians came in

After a simple checkup, everyone was amazed by Penelope’s progress

One of the physicians said, It’s a miracle that she can wake up in such a short time after suffering such a serious injury.” 

Another physician said, This case is too special. I must record it carefully.” 

A third physician said, If this goes on, the patient should wake up by the evening at the latest!” 

The last physician said, This is amazing.” 

The more shocked the physicians were, the unhappier Isabella became

Didn’t they say that unless there was a miracle, Penelope would never wake up

But how could Penelope regain consciousness soon

If Penelope woke up and testified against her… 

Isabella suddenly felt a chill down her spine

If Penelope woke up, it would be the end of her

No. She couldn’t let Penelope regain consciousness

However, at this moment, with so many physicians and nurses around Penelope, not to mention that Ben and Leo were also there, how could she have a chance to make a move

Isabella became increasingly nervous and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead

She kept telling herself to calm down

I can think of a way

I can do it!She assured herself

Isabella, what’s wrong? Why do you look so nervous?” Leo looked at her strangely

Isabella forced a smile. II am too happy.” 

Leo looked at her affectionately. Mom used to bully you all the time. When she wakes up and finds out that you lost your child to protect her, she’ll be very sorry for what she has done to you.” 

Isabella didn’t dare to respond and only nodded her head in a hurry

The physicians stayed for about an hour

Then, a physician connected Penelope to a new machine, and said with a smile, This is the latest monitoring Instrument for brain waves. You see, there is a horizontal line here. Now the degree of brain waves of Mrs. Landor 

is around 70 or 80. When it reaches the value of 100, she can wake up at any time. I estimate that this process may last for five or six hours, but it is also possible that it can reach 100 immediately. So, from now on, one of you must stay here and watch over her. When the reading reaches 100, you should ring the bell immediately. Do you understand?” 

Leo agreed

When the physicians were about to leave, suddenly, a physician thought of something, turned around, and said, Remember, press the bell immediately to get us here as soon as the reading reaches 100. Don’t touch the machine at will, especially the red button of this machine. If you press this button, the instrument will produce waves of stimulation to the brain. This is only for patients with no brainwave reaction. For patients like Mrs. Landor

who are about to wake up, such stimulation is fatal.” 

Fatal?Isabella’s eyes flashed and she asked subconsciously

Yes.The physician said casually, Maybe she will become a vegetable again, and she will never regain consciousness then.” 

After that, the physicians closed the door and left

Only a nurse was left to take care of Penelope

Isabella’s eyes lingered on the red button for a while, and she already had an idea in her mind

She already had a way to prevent Penelope from regaining consciousness

Now, the first thing she needed to do was to send the others away

Then, she needed someone to take the blame for her

As for the scapegoat…. 

Isabella shot a sinister glance at Monica, who looked bored

She was the perfect scapegoat

In that case, the only thing Isabella needed to do now was to send everyone away

Isabella thought for a moment and said gently, Leo, Penelope will wake up in five or six hours. You and Ben are both busy with work. There’s no need for you to waste your time here. You can go back to work first. Ms. Lynn and I will stay here and watch over Penelope. I’ll inform you when she is about to wake up.” 

Leo was already getting impatient to stay in the hospital. Hearing Isabella’s suggestion, he couldn’t wait to agree

He had an appointment with a friend to play golf today. How could he waste his time here

Isabella is right. We still have work to do. We shouldn’t stay here. Ben, let’s go now,Leo said confidently

Ben glanced at Monica
