Love or Die CEO’s Daily Dose of Swoon

Chapter 224

Cordelia needed a leave slip to leave, but it was too late to contact Waldron. Recalling the spot where Everard had just leapt from, she quickly got out of bed and headed for the door. She briefly told Daisy and the others, “I might not be back tonight, don't wait up for me.”

She sprinted to the school's vicinity and took a couple of steps back. The two-meter-high wall was a bit of a challenge for her. Summoning her strength, she jumped onto the wall, flipped over with ease, and leaped down.

To her surprise, she landed in a familiar embrace. Startled for a moment, she saw Everard holding her, chuckling, "What's this? Couldn't bear to leave me, so you decided to throw yourself into my arms?"

Cordelia pushed him away, landing on her feet, "No, it's Little Flame; something's happened to him. I need to check on him."

Little Flame must be Yates. Hearing the trouble Yates was in, Everard's expression darkened, thinking about the Griffin family's situation, he followed Cordelia, "I'm coming with you."

As they walked a bit further, Cordelia realized it was hard to hail a cab due to the school's secluded location. While contemplating ordering a ride on her phone, Everard dashed to a parked Land Rover on the roadside.

The vehicle was imposing in black, looking both large and formidable. Cordelia, not knowing much about cars, simply got in with Everard, and after she provided the hospital's address, Everard drove off swiftly.

They quickly arrived at Ontoky City Hospital. Once out of the car, Cordelia rushed inside, finding Merry pacing anxiously outside the operating room. Cordelia, unusually hurried, approached and asked, "What happened?"

Merry was on the verge of tears, "Oh, Lia, it's Yates... Yates tried to kill himself!"

Cordelia was stunned, "What?"

Merry sobbed, "He vomited a lot of blood, and he took so many pills, such strange pills...”
