You Are The Pursuit of My Life

Chapter 157

Frightened, Margaret stopped talking at once. Edric slammed down his fist on the table a couple more times. At the sight of this, Margaret's heart ached and she quickly went to his side to stop him. "Edric, don't do this!" Edric looked at Margaret with bloodshot eyes. "Mom, if you really care about me, please return to Haverland immediately. With Eden's condition now, I don't want you to disturb them. Irene and I will find a way to cure him!" "How do you plan on doing so? Leukemia is no flu or fever. How can I not worry?" asked Margaret, unwilling to leave.

"I've already found a way. We could get him a bone marrow transplant. Irene is pregnant. When the child is born, we could transplant parts of his bone marrow to Eden."

"Irene is pregnant again? Is it yours?" Margaret squealed, aghast. She was already surprised to find out about Eden; yet now, she was about to have another grandchild again. She didn't know how to react to this shocking news. "Yes, it's mine. Now go back home. You'll only cause more trouble if you remain here." Edric softened his tone, trying to get Margaret to leave.

"I won't! My grandson is sick; how can I abandon him? I can't leave. I'll stay here to look after him," Margaret insisted. Noticing that Edric was staring at her, she quickly added, "I promise I won't be a nuisance. Don't worry, I won't bother Irene!" Edric let out a long sigh. What was he supposed to do? Margaret wasn't an evil person; she had a heart of gold as well. But she had a short temper and would often lash out at others with her mean words. With such a temper, it was bound to be difficult for her and Irene to get along with each other.

Deborah accompanied Lily in the hospital until dawn before leaving. When she walked to the parking lot, she was dumbfounded. Her car window had been smashed and her handbag was gone. Breathless with anger, Deborah immediately went looking for a security guard.

The security guard examined the CCTV footage and saw that the break-in was carried out by a man wearing a military jacket. The director of the hospital was also in pure disbelief. Deborah was Steven's wife and her car had been broken into at his hospital. Standing by and doing nothing was out of the question. He stepped forward and personally offered to bring her car to the workshop to be repaired. He also offered to pay for the damages inflicted.

At first, Deborah was distraught, but later on, she realized that she should try not to make a big fuss over this. Up till now, Steven had no idea that she and Lily had visited the hospital for the operation. They'd lied to him and instead claimed that they were going on vacation. If he were to find out the truth, they would be in deep trouble.

Deborah eventually recaptured her composure and accepted the compensation offered, asking the hospital director to keep this matter under wraps. Both Deborah and Lily were devastated, as their car was now out of commission. They had no choice but to take a cab to a hotel and stay there for two days before returning home.

After recuperating in the intensive care unit for two days, Rowane finally regained her consciousness. The nurse called Nathan over excitedly as soon as she woke up.

Nathan rushed to the hospital. A Haverland doctor was already attending to Rowane. "Are you alright? If you can hear me, please blink once." Rowane blinked her eyes once.

"Do you have difficulty breathing? If not, please blink once." She blinked again.

"She appears to have fully recovered, don't you think?" whispered the nurse next to him.

"Nurse, please help the patient take off her oxygen mask," the doctor ordered the nurse.

"Who are you? What am I doing here?" These were the first words that tumbled out of Rowane's mouth. Although her voice was soft, it was clear.

"We are doctors, and you're in a hospital. You were hit by a car, and you are receiving treatment right now," explained the doctor.

"I was hit by a... car? Why... why can't I remember anything?" stammered Rowane.
