Unable to discern the full situation over the phone, Mila decided to first calm the woman on the line. Once she was a bit more composed, Mila quickly asked for the hospital's address.
It turned out to be Metropolitan Hospital!
Images of the ambulance she had just seen at the hospital entrance flashed through Mila's mind, along with the familiar face of a middle-aged woman.
Wasn't that Sienna, the one who takes care of Mr. Eugene from the Montgomery family?
"Secretary Sophie, please wait here. When my aunt comes out, explain everything to her. I'm heading to the emergency room first to see what's going on," Mila said swiftly to Sophie, who was standing nearby.
Sophie, with her long ponytail and sharp black-and-white business attire, had overheard the entire phone call and understood the urgency of the situation. She quickly nodded in agreement.
Mila hurriedly dashed toward the emergency room.
The person in trouble was her brother-in-law, Eugene, who was Lysander's younger brother from the Montgomery family. Although she didn't know the specifics, the fact that Sienna was in tears and mentioned surgery indicated it was serious.
Even though she was the eldest daughter-in-law of the Montgomery family, with a pending divorce, she was practically an outsider and couldn't bear this responsibility.
While running, Mila called Lysander to inform him of the situation and the hospital's address, suggesting he come over.
Surprisingly, when Lysander answered, he was unusually cold.
"Eugene's having surgery? What's it to me if he does or doesn't? Let me know if he dies, and maybe I'll consider getting him a coffin," he said before hanging up.
Mila was stunned.
