The Million-Dollar Heart (Percival and Vivienne) novel Chapter 482

Vivienne was taken aback.

This was something she had not anticipated.

When she had left the Ellington estate, everything seemed fine.

Fiona had been the picture of health, her cheeks flushed with life, showing no signs of organ failure.

"I reckon someone will give you a call," Percival spoke through sobs, which Vivienne guessed belonged to Heloise.

Vivienne reassured him calmly, "Don't worry."

With a brief acknowledgment, they ended the call.

Vivienne lay on her bed, but her phone buzzed to life before long.

It was Flynn.

"Vivienne, it's Flynn, Percival's uncle. I hate to bother you this late, but could you come to the hospital? It's Fiona... She's on her last legs."

Vivienne raised an eyebrow, a lazy smirk playing on her lips as she rested a hand on her temple. "What's the trouble?"

"Fiona's got complete organ failure. The family told me it was you who brought my dad back from the brink. Could you please come and work your magic on Fiona? Let bygones be bygones and help us save her, will you?"

Hearing Flynn's choked-up voice, Vivienne's smile widened. "Alright! I'm on my way."

Flynn exhaled a sigh of relief. "Thank you, Vivienne, thank you."

Vivienne chuckled, "No sweat. You're Mr. Wolf's most respected uncle."

Flynn fell silent on the other end as if catching the hidden meaning in her words. But he said no more and hung up.

Twenty minutes later.

Vivienne arrived at the hospital to find Percival waiting by the entrance.

Seeing Vivienne had not even bothered with a coat, he draped his trench coat over her shoulders. "What's the rush?"

"Uncle Flynn called. How could I not hurry?" Vivienne said with a soft, playful smile as she and Percival made their way to the surgical floor where Fiona was.

Heloise was still on the floor, wailing incessantly, cursing Vivienne as the cause of all evil.

Upon seeing Vivienne, Heloise charged at her. "What are you doing here, you little wretch? Come to gloat over my daughter, have you? Let me tell you, if anything happens to her, I'll make sure you pay. Even after I become a ghost, I’ll haunt you forever!"

Vivienne looked down at Heloise with a deeper smile, one that did not seem sincere at all. "Would you rather I turn you into a ghost now?"

Heloise collapsed to the floor, trembling. For a moment, she thought she saw the spirits of the dead clinging to Vivienne.

Flynn approached with the medical reports, and seeing Heloise making a scene, he dragged her away. "Heloise, stay out of Fiona's business from now on!"

With Heloise around, she was nothing but trouble.

He then turned to Vivienne, saying, "Don't take it to heart, Vivienne. Heloise's gone a bit mad. The hospital has agreed to let you into the OR. Fiona’s personal physician, Sienna, will assist you there."

Vivienne handed the trench coat back to Percival and took the reports from Flynn. "Okay."

With that, she entered the operating room.

Cecilia was by Richard's side. Although her feelings towards Fiona had cooled, she still worried for her, having watched her grow up.
