Chapter 240 Her Only Choice 

Greta’s surgery was over, and she was now in the ICU. Emelle rushed straight to the critical care floor. 

Family members still weren’t allowed inside the ICU ward, so Eliana and Billy were sitting on the chairs outside. Seeing them, Emelie ran over. “Eli!” 

Already a tearful mess, Eliana lunged at her and hit her shoulders. “Why didn’t you answer your phone? Why?” 

Emelie stumbled back a couple of steps. Her throat went dry. “I didn’t do it on purpose. How’s Mom?” 

All Eliana could do was cry. Emelle felt suffocated listening to her cries. She hadn’t slept well the previous night as she had been worried about her father. Now, her head was pounding 

Unable to console his wife, Billy then led Emelie to the door of the ward. 

Through the glass, Emelie could see her mother covered in tubes, with several machines working beside her bed. An oxygen mask covered Greta’s face, and a thin layer of mist had formed inside it. It was a faint sign that she was still alive, 

Emelie fell silent. She then shook her head in disbelief. 

How had things come to this? 

She couldn’t believe that this had happened. 

Just two days ago, she had called her mother, and Greta had seemed fine. They had talked about Ronan’s imminent release, and they had discussed taking a day off and bringing Greta home for a family meal if her condition allowed it. 

They had even planned what dishes to cook, where to buy the ingredients, and who would do the cooling. Everything had seemed fine. But why had everything changed so suddenly? 

Grela had had several health scares before, but Emelie had never been aware of them. From her perspective, her mother had suddenly gone from perfectly fine to this state where she had to rely on machines to stay alive. Greta was now teetering on the brink of death. 

The shock was overwhelming. Emelie’s vision went black for a moment. 

Billy sighed. “The doctor said that Mom is now caught between life and death. We need to decide what to do next. If we decide to stop the treatment, we’ll just need to sign the documents, and they’ll turn off the machines. She’ll go peacefully without any pain.” 

Emelie remained silent 

She braced herself against the door, trying to steady her trembling body. 

When her father had gotten into trouble, Emelie had quickly calmed down after the initial panic. After all, the worst–case scenario was just more time in prison. He was still alive, But if something happened to Greta, it would mean losing her forever. 

She couldn’t accept that. She couldn’t let Greta leave without a fight. 

Billy spoke again, “Emelie, Mom told your sister not to tell you if she took a turn for the worse. She didn’t want to burden you, which is why you didn’t know about her previous episodes.”
