Martin rushed to the railing, "Serena, what are you trying to say?"
"Martin." Serena's breath was faint, as if summoning her last bit of life, she struggled to utter, "I don't want to die."
Tears welled up in Martin's eyes once again.
"I haven't gotten engaged to you, haven't started a family with you. I really don't want to die."
After murmuring those words and shedding tears, Serena slipped back into unconsciousness.
Martin's tears, once more, became uncontrollable, like a dam breaking under the force of a flood.
After composing himself, Martin dialed the mysterious caller again, persistently ringing through without a response, refusing to waste a single second.
After countless attempts, the call was finally answered.
"Don't hang up!" Martin pleaded urgently, "I'll do anything you ask, just save her."
"How can I trust you again? Besides, I have many pawns in my game; your absence wouldn't be the end of the world."
"As you've said, no one else can save her but you. I'm still waiting for the final antidote. so in the meantime, I'll do whatever you command! I won't ignore your orders. You might find someone else, but they might not be as capable as me, and they might not have the right motivation to take on the Collins family."
Because Serena was his girlfriend, and Arabella refused to save Serena, Martin, in a fit of rage, had someone take out Arabella. This reason could keep the mysterious person out of the picture and direct the Collins family's vengeful fury solely at Martin, clearing the mysterious figure.
That was why the mysterious caller wanted him to strike at Arabella.
"Come to the terrace on this floor." The voice on the phone seemed to relent.
Martin immediately left the hospital room balcony and dashed towards the terrace on that floor.
