Veronica Murphy sat across from Melvin Winson, listening to him speak with an abrupt increase in volume and a panicked expression on his face. She immediately thought of Melvin Winson’s girlfriend, whom he had mentioned was seriously ill.
“Okay, okay, I’ll come right away.”
With that, Melvin Winson hung up the phone and looked up at Veronica Murphy, blinking his reddened eyes. “Sorry, Nanshu’s condition has worsened, and she has fallen into a coma again. I have to go and see her.”
Nanshu was most likely Melvin Winson’s girlfriend.
Veronica Murphy quickly said, “I’ll go with you. I’ll drive you there.”
“But… Camden is still in the bathroom.” “It’s okay, I’ll call him and let him know.” Veronica Murphy stood up and said, “Let’s go.”
Melvin Winson had a grateful expression on his face. “Okay, okay…”
The two of them got up and walked outside. Veronica Murphy dialed Camden Sullivan’s phone and explained the situation to him, also mentioning that she would invite him for dinner tomorrow. Camden Sullivan understood the seriousness of the situation and didn’t mind.
After hanging up the phone, Veronica Murphy got in the car and sat in the driver’s seat. Melvin Winson asked, “Do you want me to drive?”
Veronica Murphy shook her head. “Get in, I can do it.” His girlfriend was in trouble, and he was already extremely anxious. How could he drive?
Melvin Winson quickly got in the passenger seat, closed the door, and said to Veronica Murphy, “Bloomstead, Big Heart Hospital.”
“Okay.”
Veronica Murphy turned on the navigation and drove swiftly on the highway.
On the way, Veronica Murphy asked about Melvin Winson’s girlfriend, Nanshu. Melvin Winson sighed and replied with a desolate tone, “I’ve been in a relationship with Nanshu for many years. She loves me very much, but ever since she found out she had cervical cancer, she didn’t want to burden me. She repeatedly mentioned breaking up with me and got angry with me. But I know that she had no choice…”
He talked about many stories between him and Nanshu, and Veronica Murphy could feel Melvin Winson’s deep love for her.
Unbeknownst to her, all the stories Melvin Winson told her about his past with “Nanshu” were actually about his true past with Eviette Robins. He loved Eviette Robins. He loved her to the core, willing to give everything for her.
“What stage is her cervical cancer at?” Veronica Murphy asked again. Melvin Winson pursed his lips, furrowed his brows, and remained silent for a while.
Suddenly, there was a moment of silence, and Veronica Murphy already had the answer in her heart, but Melvin Winson still replied, “Late stage.”
Originally, Veronica Murphy said she could help save Ben’s girlfriend, but when she heard it was in the late stage, she didn’t say anything else.
Although with her current connections, she could find top experts, once cervical cancer reached the late stage, even the most powerful gods would be powerless to change the outcome. Afterwards, the two of them remained silent for a long time.
Over two hours later, the car arrived at Bloomstead Big Heart Hospital. As soon as they got out of the car, Melvin Winson’s phone started ringing.. Melvin Winson took out his phone and answered the call, “Hello?”
“What… what did you say? Nan Shuang… she… she…” Melvin Winson staggered for a moment, then put away his phone and rushed into the hospital as if he had gone mad. Veronica Murphy followed closely behind, running after him.
They passed through the outpatient department, went to the patient ward in the back, took the elevator to the 30th floor, and got off the elevator to the ICU room 3020 on the right side of the corridor. Just as they arrived at the door of the ward, they heard the sound of loud sobbing.
“Wuwu… Shuang Shuang, you’re so young, why did you have to leave? Shuang Shuang, do you really not want your mother anymore, wuwu…”
Beside the hospital bed, a middle-aged woman. with graying temples was holding the hand of the woman on the bed, crying heartbreakingly. Several doctors stood around, their expressions serious and silent.
