Secretary’s Secret Lover by Zayla Quinn novel Chapter 329

Chapter 329 Don’t Call Me Until He Dies!

Jack, who was standing outside the door, was stunned to hear the nurse’s words.

Jamie didn’t care about his health, but Jack had never heard of any other problems with him other than pneumonia.

He never thought that Jamie would be at death’s door because of Ellen’s words.

He asked the nurse in a trance.

“I am his assistant. Can I sign this on his behalf?”

The nurse said seriously, “The signature has a legal effect, so it’s best to tell his family to sign it.”

“Mr. McBride has no family.”

“He’s not married?” the nurse asked.

Jack shook his head.

“Where are his parents?”

“They passed away.”

The nurse frowned, without expecting the attractive man to have no family.

Jamie was good–looking and did not look like he could not find a wife.

The nurse wondered why he didn’t get married and have children.

The nurse handed the notice to Jack and said, “He can’t be left alone in this situation. Sign it first and see if he has any relatives

or friends who will come. You’d better inform all of them.”

After all, heart failure was a sudden disease, and no one could predict the consequences.

The nurse just wanted to remind Jack in case of any regrets.

The door of the operating room was closed again.

Jack held the critically ill notice in panic, his heart beating fast.

He thought of someone who needed to be there.

He quickly picked up his phone and dialed a number.

In Lakeside Apartment.

Ellen took a shower, casually wrapped herself in a bathrobe, and walked barefoot on the carpet.

On the windowsill, there was a bottle of red wine she had just opened.

She poured some wine into the glass and looked at the colorful neon lights not far away through the glass.

This was a prosperous city.

It was a stark contrast to her terrible life.

She took a sip of the red wine and then drank it all in one gulp.

She couldn’t taste it but felt a little drunk

She liked to be in a relaxed environment. In that case, she wouldn’t be clear–headed.

If she was lucky, she would even have the illusion of her parents being alive and living happily with her.

Without these memories, she did not know if she would be able to survive now.

At the height of the apartment, she would feel dizzy when standing by the window and looking down.

This was the height where Chris jumped down.

Every night she came back, Ellen would stand there to remind herself.

She had to remember her motivation for being alive.

In fact, she might be lucky to die like that back then.

It might not be a good thing for her to survive until now.

Those experiences exhausted her like a heavy burden….

Ellen stood on the window, lost in thought. Her phone suddenly vibrated.

She picked it up and found that it was an unfamiliar number.

“Ms. Robbins, can you come to the hospital? Mr. McBride was given a critically ill notice.”

Jack’s flustered voice came over the phone.

Ellen’s corners of her mouth were raised as she asked, “Isn’t it a death notice?”

Jack was in a daze because of Jamie’s sudden breakdown. He was stunned for a moment and said hoarsely, “No, he is critically illl…”

Ellen did not want to continue listening and added, “What a pity!”

She wished it could be a death notice.

She poured some red wine and shook the glass. She had thought that she could find an excuse to reward herself with the wine.

Jack thought about her words.

He finally realized what Ellen meant after a while.

In an instant, his face sharpened.

He couldn’t beg Ellen.

But he was sympathetic and felt that it was unfair to Jamie.

“Ms. Robbins, you might not want to hear what I said, but no matter what, Mr. McBride kneeled in the rain for eight hours and suffered heart failure because of your words. You should come to take a look at him, shouldn’t you?

“Moreover, he knew that he was wrong and regretted it very much. How could you be so heartless to someone who was on the brink of death…”
