Restoring a Life After Seven Years of Wrong Love novel Chapter 140

Seeing she had somewhat stabilized, Matthew pulled out his phone and called Director Stern to explain the situation.

"Yvette, I'll pull the car around. Wait for me at the entrance."

"Okay."

In the car.

Matthew kept glancing over at Yvette. She was completely rigid, her fingers clutching the seat beneath her.

"It'll be fine, Yvette. Auntie's just a bit weak. It won't be anything major."

Yvette nodded.

Deep down, however, she knew this was serious.

Whenever her mother had been hospitalized in the past, Joanne had never sounded this frantic, let alone cried.

And she was almost certain she heard her uncle in the background. If it were a minor issue, he would have visited after work.

The more she thought about it, the more panicked she became. "Matthew, please, drive faster."

"Got it." Understanding her anxiety, Matthew accelerated.

Fifteen minutes later, Yvette rushed into Kingsbrook General.

Joanne was standing outside the operating room, hands clasped tightly as she prayed desperately.

Her uncle, Lance, sat on a bench, looking utterly defeated. He hadn't looked this devastated even when the Huxleys stole his major project.

Yvette sprinted over. "Uncle Lance, Aunt Joanne! She was perfectly fine, how could she have a heart attack out of nowhere?"

"It's all my fault. The weather was nice, so I took her out to the mall."

"I went to the restroom, and when I came back, your mom was confronting Jabez and Willow. I don't know what Willow said to her, but after they left, your mom got so angry she just..."

Tears streamed down Joanne's face as she spoke, and in a fit of guilt, she started slapping her own face.

"It's my fault, it's all my fault! If I hadn't taken her out, this never would have happened!"
