Three Years Forgotten, Why Go Crazy When I Say Goodbye? novel Chapter 14

Julian! It had to be him!

He was furious that she had fought back against Toby, so he was using her mother to punish her!

When he made those threats, Willow had prepared herself mentally. She wasn't afraid of him coming after her.

But she never imagined he would stoop this low—that he would target her dying mother.

Pulling out her phone, she frantically dialed Julian's number. It rang a few times before being instantly rejected. When she tried again, the phone was turned off entirely.

Willow was backed into a corner. The hospital was threatening to kick them out, and she had nowhere to go. In her desperation, she thought of the five million dollars in her account and Mr. Vance's offer of medical resources. Steeling herself, she dialed his number.

The call connected almost instantly, so fast that Willow hadn't even formulated what she was going to say.

Arthur Vance spoke first. "Ms. Horgan, is there something you need?"

"Is this a good time?" Willow asked, carefully choosing her words.

"Of course. Whatever it is, just tell me," Arthur replied directly.

Willow didn't hesitate anymore. "I wanted to ask... do you happen to have any connections with the medical resources in New York City?"

Now wasn't the time to hide things. "My mother was just diagnosed with acute leukemia, and her current hospital is forcing her to transfer out. It's an absolute emergency, and I can't find a suitable hospital on such short notice. I really have no other options, which is why I'm bothering you with this. But if it's too difficult, just pretend I never asked, and I'll figure something else out."

Arthur chuckled. "That just shows you underestimate your own value. Just sit tight and wait. Someone will contact you shortly."

Twenty minutes later, a medical transport helicopter touched down on the hospital's helipad. A highly trained team of medics disembarked and executed a seamless, incredibly efficient transfer for Martha Mercer.

Willow stayed close the entire time. When they arrived at the new facility, the hospital director personally greeted them and immediately assigned their top specialists to the case.

Compared to the previous hospital, Harbor Mercy Hospital was elegantly serene and deeply compassionate. There was zero noise or chaos; it felt far more like a luxury resort than a medical ward.

The specialists quickly ran a comprehensive workup on her mother. Their conclusions aligned with the previous doctors, but their treatment plan was far more advanced and humane. They also settled Martha into a luxurious VIP suite, giving Willow open access to visit whenever she wanted.

Due to the side effects of her new medication, Martha remained in a deep sleep. While she was out, Willow called Arthur back to thank him for everything and update him on her mother's condition.
