Chapter 798

Jareth floored the gas pedal, the engine of his sleek sports car roaring like thunder as the world blurred past him.

He got out of the car and darted towards the VIP room; Mr. and Mrs. Abernathy were waiting at the outside.

"How is Marilla?!" Jareth panted, beads of sweat dotting his forehead.

"Grandpa and Frederic are with her."

Evadne, glowing with relief yet shadowed with concern, said, "Marilla needs care for the internal injury though. She's still very fragile, and there's a chance her injuries could cause trouble down the line. She protected her head when she was attacked, but her lungs are infected from nearly drowning, and the lack of oxygen led to the deep coma."

Chasel, his brow furrowed in worry, added, "Tomorrow, I'll run some brain scans on Marilla. We need to see if there's any irreversible damage to her neural pathways before we can figure out the best treatment plan."

Looking at the haggard face of his beloved, Cassius, his gaze filled with tender affection, gently caressed his partner's cheek, "You've been through so much these past few days."

"With you by my side, it's bearable." Evadne pulled at his suit jacket and whispered in his ear, his fervent breath warming him, "But if you really think I've had it rough, then you'll just have to make it up to me when we get home."

A deep look passed through Cassius' eyes, his face expressionless, but his hand tightened around his partner's waist, sending a shiver through his body. Chasel squinted his attractive eyes.

Ha, what a prude, but he loved it!

Jareth, struggling with his own feelings of guilt, was about to speak when Thaddeus, seeing him through, cut in with a warm voice, "Wait until Grandpa and the others come out; then you can go see Marilla. I think she'd want to see you most of all."

Jareth's heart ached, his breath heavy with emotion.

Frederic emerged from the room, flushed with urgency, "Why can't my daughter speak? What's
