My extraordinary wife novel (Ashlyn and Lucas) novel Chapter 1036

Chapter 1036 Terminal Lucidity

Half an hour later, the convoy of cars from the Oates family grandly entered the underground parking lot of the hospital. Sienna stealthily trailed them inside. One could only wonder whether everyone in the Oates family was too eager to head to the hospital or simply too careless to not notice Sienna tailing them. Upon seeing the group step into the elevator, Sienna watched the panel as it showed that they had stopped on the fifteenth floor. She waited for a while before boarding another elevator to head upstairs. When the elevator reached the fourteenth floor, she got off and then crept up the steps through the emergency staircase, silently making her way up to the fifteenth floor. As soon as she exited the emergency staircase, Finnick's voice reached her ears.

“Doctor, how's my dad doing now?”

“The patient has yet to pass the critical period. Please stay calm.”

That reply was from a voice stranger to Sienna.

That must be the doctor.

Startled, she pressed her back against the wall then and there, gingerly sneaking a peek down the hallway. Crowding near the entrance of the emergency treatment room was the Oates family with Finnick leading at the forefront. Everyone regarded the doctor with varied expressions. The doctor hurried away, seemingly anxious. A pucker formed between Sienna's brows.

Oh, dear... Dad must be very ill.

That would explain why none of them told her about Nelson falling sick. Sienna's heart raced, and her mind was in a mess. It took her a while to calm her emotions. Only then did she quietly take a glimpse once more at the door of the emergency treatment room. A rather displeased collateral relative of the Oates family piped up, “Finnick, what's going on? Did the old man have a stroke? Or is it a brain bleed? Why did you only summon us when his condition has gotten so severe?”

The Yeatman family had a long history in the medical field. Being a medical family, their descendants were mostly working in various prestigious hospitals throughout Jadeborough. Among them, that pair of sisters stood out the most. One of them pursued a career in administration while the other delved into academic research. Be it the Yeatman family or the Oates family, none could hold a candle to Madison's and Chloe's stature. After all, in that era, almost everyone would be down with some sort of illness at some point.

Sienna had been hiding in the corner, eavesdropping on the conversations of the Oates family members. She could be fairly certain of one thing—Nelson's days were numbered. It seemed that she would need to seek the old man's help before he breathed his last. All she could do at present was pray with all her heart that Nelson would at least experience a burst of terminal lucidity so that she could see him for one last time. Meanwhile, an airplane swept up a gust of wind as it landed at Jadeborough Airport.

A tall, slender lady emerged from the VIP passage with one hand tucked in the pocket of her hoodie while the other held a red phone.
