Chapter 600

Vince dialed Herbert's number without hesitation.

She never wanted her family to know about her cancer. She didn't want anyone else to know, either.

But Herbert owned a hospital-he was the only person Vince could trust with the truth.

As soon as Herbert answered, he heard the urgency in Vince's voice. "Which hospital do you run?"

"What's going on?"

"Jessy's lost consciousness. She's had liver cancer for four months."

Herbert's phone nearly slipped from his hands.

Herbert's voice trembled. "Why didn't you tell me sooner? Why did you wait so long?"

But he caught himself, his tone shifting quickly to panic. "Bring her to YS Private Hospital. I'll meet you there and prep the ER."
