Mr. Sallow's Sinful Wife by Maisie Chasey

Chapter 207 Go Back To Save Nancy (1)

Nicholas was on the verge of speaking, but at that moment, Madelline’s eyes fluttered open. She looked at him, her eyes filled with despair and heartbreak. In a weak voice, she uttered, “Nicholas…”

Normally, he would have hurried to her side, but this time, he remained rooted in place. The darkness of the night surrounded them, creating an eerie stillness. He stood motionless, like a statue, as if time and space had frozen around him. She cried, shaking her head in disbelief that he hadn’t accompanied her in the ambulance on the way to the hospital.

He had intended to go with her, but then he received a phone call. She wondered what kind of call could have made him change his mind. “Nicholas…” she whispered feebly, though it took all her strength to do so. Yet, it seemed to fall on deaf ears as he continued to stand there, unmoving.

As the ambulance’s doors slowly closed, Madelline summoned her remaining strength to reach out to Nicholas, her hand clawing at the air, her eyes filled with sorrow. “Nicholas…” Her cries of anguish echoed into the night.

“Take care, Madelline. I believe you’ll survive,” he said as he waved his hand.

The ambulance’s door closed, and it quickly sped off to the hospital. Nicholas turned around and addressed his assistant, who had just arrived. “Take care of her later.” He called Lynn. “Get me my private jet. I’m going home right now.”

“Sir, we found a small malfunction during the last checkup. It’s still not fixed. It might be dangerous if you fly it right now.”

“Lynn, I’ll repeat myself. I want it right now.” Nicholas became furious.
