It was already late at night at the Longines Villa.
Inside the bedroom, “Ah!”
Amber sat up straight, with her body trembling and panting for breath.
Soon, there was the sound of footsteps coming from outside the hallway.
Snap!
Mengpo turned on the light in the room.
Seeing Amber curled up on the bed drenched in sweat, gasping and full of panic, she instantly understood it.
“Miss.Knight, having nightmares again?”
The scene of a late-night nightmare had happened more than once since Mysterious Man arranged Mengpo to take care of Amber.
Amber nodded, with her eyes drifting as she looked at the wall and said in a trembling voice, “The snow… so big and heavy…”
As she spoke, her body suddenly trembled, and she wailed. Her face was full of pain.
Her right hand instantly lifted up and grasped her heart in a deadly grip.
A strong feeling of fluttering suddenly appeared.
It made Amber feel so uncomfortable that it was like tearing her apart and so painful that she couldn’t breathe.
“Miss.Knight!”
Mengpo was so frightened that her face turned pale.
“It hurts… Mengpo… it hurts so much… hooo…”
Amber’s eyebrows were tightly knitted, her stunning face was nearly distorted, and her body was trembling. She wailed in pain while breathing sharply. Her already sweat-covered forehead even had beads of sweat dripping down at this moment.
“Miss.Knight, are you having a heart problem?”
Mengpo rushed over, looking anxious.
At this moment, Amber’s lips had turned blue and coupled with such conditions, Mengpo had associated it with a heart attack.
“I don’t know… it hurts…”
Amber curled up in pain. Suddenly, her body slumped, and she fell onto the bed with a bang, panting for breath. She pleaded with a sobbing voice, “Help me, please help me…”
“I’ll call him immediately!”
Mengpo’s eyes fluttered for a moment as she hurriedly got up and pulled out her mobile phone to call Mysterious Man.
She was arranged by Mysterious Man to come here. Even Mengpo had fear in her heart towards Mysterious Man too.
Amber’s current state was obviously dangerous.
If it was a normal sickness, she would still be able to provide some rescue treatment. But, for a heart attack… they could only go to a hospital!
However, they must get Mysterious Man’s consent first before leaving this villa.
The phone just rang once, and Mysterious Man’s hoarse voice sounded.
“What’s the matter?”
“Miss.Knight seems to have had a heart attack. It’s very dangerous and she has to go to the hospital!”
Mengpo said briefly and succinctly.
With that, a dead silence fell on the other end of the phone.
One second.
Two seconds.
Three seconds.
…
Every second became even longer at this moment.
As Mengpo waited anxiously, Amber, who had collapsed into a ball on the bed, trembled even more. Her painful wailing became even more intense, and her breathing became extraordinarily ragged and rapid.
Such a torment made Mengpo distressed.
Finally, at the fifth second, Mysterious Man’s hoarse voice rang out again on the phone.
“Send her off. Be careful!”
Hearing these words, Mengpo was instantly glad, and she hung up the phone with a snap.
