Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 1025

Upon hearing that, Sebastian Brenand’s heart began to throb frantically again.

Trying with all his might, he swallowed his agony and wiped off his tears. “Mr. Wood, Mrs. Wood, may I go in?”

Right at this moment, Rachel Wood’s attending doctor, George Orsen, pulled open the door and came out from the ward.

George was wearing a white doctor gown. His short hair was thick but neat, perfectly setting off his delicate features. He was a fresh, handsome young man.

Noticing Sebastian’s arrival, George immediately approached him. “Come with me. Have a look at Rachel.”

Then, he turned around and went back into the ward.

Sebastian immediately caught up with him.

There were all kinds of medical equipment in the spacious ICU. Sebastian could constantly hear a ticking sound from the machines around him.

The strong, pungent smell of disinfectant permeated the air, invading all his senses.

Rachel was lying on the snow-white bed. She was wearing an oxygen mask, and she had numerous tubes feeding her hands.

Sebastian saw Rachel as soon as he set foot inside the ward.

She was still in a coma.

She looked so much thinner than before. Her face was as pale as chalk. She was no longer glowing.

She was very much like a flower that was about to wither.

When the wind blew, all the petals would be carried away by the wind, leaving the stem alone.

All the memories between the two of them started to replay before him like a movie.

From the first day they met to the day they both went separate ways…

Everything felt just like yesterday.

The clearer those memories were, the more heartbroken he felt.

He felt like he was suffocating whenever he looked at Rachel.

She dreamed that Sebastian found her before she passed away. She was leaning in the arms she had been longing for, saying her last words.

Upon hearing that, Sebastian’s eyes turned into two broken faucets.

Tears rolled down uncontrollably, barely allowing a breath to be drawn.

“Don’t worry. I’ll help you… I’ll definitely cure your lymphoma… I promise…” Sebastian could not help the quiver in his voice. Determination flashed in his eyes when he gave her bony hand another kiss.

He then rose to his feet and turned to George. “What are the chances of her being cured?”

George shook his head in despair. “I’m afraid that there’s nothing we can do to help her… I’ve tried all kinds of medicines on her, but the cancer cells have spread all over her body.

“These devices only help to alleviate her pain. To put it bluntly, she’s just holding on to her last breath.”

George could not help sighing after finishing his sentence.

However, Sebastian was not going to give up so easily. Without hesitation, he pulled out his phone and called the municipal hospital’s dean, informing him about Rachel’s condition.

The dean promised to send a team of experts over to help Rachel.
