The Day I Stopped Waiting Was the Day He Started Begging novel Chapter 214

A drive that usually took half an hour was slashed to just fifteen minutes.

Ignoring the complicated tension between them, Madeline dragged him straight into the emergency room.

She waited anxiously in the hallway. A few feet away, a young woman collapsed onto the floor, sobbing uncontrollably—she looked like she had just lost the love of her life.

Madeline's legs felt like lead. Glancing down, she realized her hands were completely coated in blood—sticky, warm, and horrifyingly real.

Sienna and Caleb jogged over. Sienna, in particular, looked utterly traumatized, her face devoid of color.

"Madeline..."

The moment she called out, tears started pouring down her cheeks.

"I don't know what happened. I'm so sorry."

"I had no idea Caleb and the others were going to show up, and then that crazy woman just appeared out of nowhere..."

"Don't cry."

Madeline reached out to wipe her tears, but catching sight of her bloody hands, she quickly pulled back.

"York will be fine."

Caleb stepped up, wrapping a protective arm around his sister with a helpless sigh.

"Alright, cut the waterworks. York is tough as nails."

"The Grim Reaper doesn't want him yet."

"No, this is my fault..."

Sienna sobbed.

"I cursed York in my texts earlier. I said all jerks get what's coming to them... but I didn't think it would actually happen. I didn't mean it..."

Caleb was utterly speechless.

What was he supposed to do with this dramatic sister of his?

Thankfully, the red light above the emergency room turned off. The three of them rushed over as the doctor pulled down his mask.

"He got extremely lucky. It missed the major arteries, but the cut was deep. We gave him eighteen stitches, and it'll likely leave a scar."

"He also lost a lot of blood, so his family needs to make sure he rests and eats well. I noticed signs of anemia—has he suffered a severe trauma before?"

Madeline snapped her head toward Caleb, a sharp pang hitting her chest.
