I Stopped Waiting and Started Loving novel Chapter 226

Seraphina had a Master's degree, and now Bonnie suddenly wanted to go to grad school too.

Was she really that desperate to outdo Seraphina?

An inexplicable surge of smug satisfaction swelled in Parrish's chest.

No matter how cruel her words were, the truth was she couldn't let him go.

If she truly didn't care anymore, why would she constantly try to compete with Seraphina?

He sighed, looking at Jasmine. "Next weekend is the induction ceremony. Gideon Graves, the president of the National Medical Council, is officially taking Seraphina on as his apprentice."

"I'll have my secretary send you an invitation. Make sure you pass it along to Bonnie so she can attend."

"Let her take a good, hard look at exactly how wide the gap is between her and Seraphina. That way, she'll stop obsessing over trying to outdo her and save herself from further humiliation."

Jasmine felt thoroughly disgusted by how condescendingly he spoke about Bonnie, but knowing she and her brother still relied on him for money, she swallowed her pride and murmured a response.

"Got it."

...

Meanwhile, Bonnie drove her Wrangler through the night, arriving at the local clinic.

On the hospital bed, Jillian Hayes was curled into a tight ball, her body violently convulsing in agony.

Her face was as white as a sheet, beads of cold sweat clinging to her forehead. She had bitten her own lips until they bled, painting a horrifying picture.

Seeing her mother like this, Bonnie's eyes instantly reddened, her knees going so weak she nearly collapsed.

This agonizing struggle was exactly the same as how her father had looked right before he died.

"Mom!"

Bonnie threw herself at the bed, gripping her mother's trembling, ice-cold hand as tears streamed down her face.

"Bonnie, thank God you're here."

The doctor rushed over, sweating profusely. Clutching the medical chart, his tone was frantic.

"We don't know why, but the residual toxins in your mother's body suddenly flared up massively. We've used every method available. We even administered two consecutive doses of the Vitalis Heart Elixir you brought, but it had absolutely no effect."

Forcing herself to stay calm, Bonnie immediately reached out to check her mother's pulse.

The pulse was alarmingly erratic. The toxins had already begun invading her heart.

"That's impossible. The Vitalis Heart Elixir is guaranteed to suppress the toxins and ease the pain. How could it fail?"
