Chapter 105 She Must Like Me

“Mrs. Adam!” Maggie rushed over, reaching out to support her without a second thought.

Mrs. Adam’s vision blurred, and her chest was pounding painfully. In the haze, she could only make out a young girl with a bright face and fair skin offering her assistance.

Before she could focus, consciousness slipped away entirely.

“Mrs. Adam! Mrs. Adam!”

Maggie was shocked by the sight. She knew Fiona was not well, but she had not anticipated it being this

serious.

“Doctor!

“Doctor!”

With tears in her eyes, Maggie held onto Fiona, preventing her from collapsing, and scanned the area, calling for help.

Just then, Ericko and Phillip returned from different directions. Ericko, spotting Maggie with Fiona, hesitated briefly before quickly moving to assist.

With no time for pleasantries, Maggie hurried to find a doctor while Phillip swiftly fetched a stretcher.

“Quick, to the operating room!”

A professor with white hair, evidently acquainted with Phillip, promptly organized the doctors to transport the patient.

In a flash, the operating room lights flicked on, and the doors sealed shut.

There was an ongoing commotion around them as they had not had a chance to use the larger upstairs operating room. The downstairs emergency room was bustling.

Yet amidst the chaos, Maggie felt a chill run down her spine among the crowd.

Standing several meters from the operating room, she was lost in thought as if the noisy surroundings were irrelevant

When did Fiona pass away in my precious life?

Maggie tried to recall. Fiona’s demise occurred about three years later, amid her ‘contributions.

The Adams‘ project encountered numerous setbacks and caused Phillip’s hair to whiten with stress, and Fiona’s health to decline. Ultimately, she could not endure when Phillip faced adversity.

This won’t happen again, right?

Observing her pallid complexion, Ericko seemed inclined to say something, but with Phillip nearby, he stopped himself.

Maggie’s eyes welled up with tears, and she addressed him tenderly, “Ericko.”

“It’ll be fine,” Ericko reassured her in a soothing tone, his gaze drifting to her hospital attire, which caused him to furrow his brows unconsciously. “Why are you here?”

Lost in thought, Maggie did not want to disclose the stomach ache from last night’s meal, so she simply.

remained silent.

“Let’s sit over there,” Ericko suggested gently, noticing her discomfort.

“But what about…“Maggie glanced toward the direction of the operating room anxiously.

“Dad will take care of it. Dr. Stone also oversees Mom’s treatment. He’s her attending physician so everything will be fine.” Ericko assured her gently, noting her complexion was nearly as pale as Fiona’s.

“Also, we’ll be quite close. We can get there in two minutes.”

With his reassurance, Maggie nodded, following Ericko absentmindedly as they made their way back to the lobby where she had encountered Fiona earlier.

“Why did Mom faint all of a sudden?” Maggie asked softly, her gaze shifting between Ericko and Phillip, sensing the gravity of the situation.

Ericko paused for a moment before answering slowly, “Mom’s heart isn’t in great shape, and her body is too frail for surgery, so the risks are high. We’ve mainly focused on conditioning over the years, but it hasn’t yielded much improvement.

“She felt unwell a few days ago, and this morning it worsened significantly. So, Dad and I decided to bring her to the hospital for a check–up and some medication,” Ericko explained gently, though his tone turned somber as he discussed Fiona’s condition.

Fiona had actually felt unwell the night before, but she did not want to be a nuisance and only mentioned it in the morning.
