The Legendary Man

Chapter 228 Let Go Of Her

“Just something minor I need to take care of,” Jonathan said, bending to press a kiss on Josephine’s forehead. He then gave her a gentle hug. “Wait for me at home, okay? This won’t take long.”

“Should I come with you?” Though she did not know what had happened, she could tell from the serious look on Jonathan’s face that it was probably something serious.

“No, don’t worry about it.” He stroked her hair, smiling lightly. “Just wait for me at home.”

Without another moment to lose, Jonathan headed toward the door in large strides. Minutes later, the roar of the car engine sounded from outside. The car zoomed out in a flash of red, disappearing into the distance.

At Heart’s Hospital in Cranur, the emergency room was at its maximum capacity. As the county’s only tertiary hospital, it was not unusual for the emergency room to be filled with patients. In addition, the hospital was also the only establishment in the county to have an ICU.

The ICU only consisted of nine beds, two of which were currently occupied by a man and woman dressed in hospital gowns. Both of them had multiple injuries scattered across their bodies. Their heads, too, were swathed in layers of bandages.

They lay unconscious and were placed on life support with oxygen tubes inserted into their noses.

It was clear that the two of them had been in a coma for a long time.

Outside of the ICU, a pale-looking girl in a white dress was talking to the doctor with a pleading expression on her face.

Her eyes were red and puffy from crying, and there were dark circles under them. The pallid look was a result of many sleepless nights and skipped meals.

“Please, doctor, just give us one more day. M-My brother will be here with the money soon!” the girl beseeched. “My parents are still in a coma. You can’t move them out of the ICU!”

The doctor remained unmoved in spite of the girl’s tear-streaked face and her piteous pleading. “That’s enough. I don’t have time for your nonsense,” he barked impatiently. “This is a hospital, not some marketplace where you could bargain. You have ten minutes to make the payments. If the money’s not in by then, you’ll just have to suffer the consequences.”
