Chapter 179 Unfortunate News

Elise stayed in the hospital to take care of Alexander. The next day, Jack dropped by for a visit. The sight of him was unforgettable for Elise—she had never seen him more disconsolate than this.

“How’s Alexander?” Jack’s hoarse voice cut through the silence, significantly sounding less energetic than his usual self.

“He’s fine. As long as he wakes up, there shouldn’t be any serious issue. I’m just worried because it has been days, but his condition isn’t improving.”

Jack went up to the patient bed and stared at the almost lifeless Alexander. “Alexander, since we were kids, you’ve always been a role model to us. Now, you need to wake up quickly as well.” He reached out to clutch Alexander’s hand so tightly that it almost looked as if he was channeling energy into his brother.

“About Mikayla… Is there still no news about her?” Elise meekly asked the question. After Mikayla’s name was mentioned, Jack’s already tired eyes appeared a tad dimmer.

If only I had agreed to go for the snowball fight with her, the outcome might have been different.

After the avalanche, Jack searched through the area but could not locate her.

“She’ll be fine.”

Even though he told Elise that Mikayla would be fine, he didn’t know for sure. She’ll be fine. She will…

“Just take good care of Alexander. I will search for Mikayla to the best of my ability. If I can’t find her, I won’t return.” Next, he let go of Alexander’s hand and turned to leave.

Elise’s heart sank to the bottom. Mikayla, come back to us soon! We’re all waiting for you.

That night, she was looking after Alexander at the bedside as usual. He had been in a coma for days, but his eyes suddenly fluttered. Moving his stiff arms, he slowly inched around to sit up. The next second, his arm accidentally came in touch with the girl by the bedside.

In the darkness, he could still recognize Elise. The sight of her warmed his heart. He pulled the blanket over to cover her. To his surprise, Elise jumped in her dream and mumbled, “Alexander… Alexander, don’t leave me!”
