Chapter 78: The Next CEO
Evelyn’s heart stilled, a cold dread creeping through her veins at the news. Panic surged through her, the vivid image of Gracia’s situation in the hospital, the last thing the doctor said that night before she fell unconscious, everything flooded her mind.
"Mr. Wright is in a serious condition, Evelyn," Annabelle added, ending the call with Sophia. Her voice was barely above a whisper but it was enough to bring Evelyn back to reality.
Evelyn quickly stood up and said, "Let’s go!" Annabelle nodded, placing a few notes on the table, she rushed out of the cafe with Evelyn before hopping into her car.
John frowned to see the same woman who had been causing quite a scene around his boss and madam, but when Evelyn urged to him drive, he quickly started the engine.
"Take us to Dorwin Hospital, John. Asap!" Evelyn shared the location Elias had sent before calling out Zevian to inform him about the situation. Her mind would be a little less messy if he were beside her.
"First, we will be moving him to a different hospital," Evelyn said after a small pause, determined to save him. Even if she didn’t need to care about William anymore, somewhere her heart wasn’t yet ready to completely treat him as a stranger. And that’s how this shitty relationship has always been, though they both had hurt each other many times, they couldn’t stop themselves from going back to the other person.
It took an almost hour to drive back to the main Vespera city and John took a shortcut to reach the hospital that was in the center of the city. Evelyn and Annabelle quickly rushed to emergency to find Elias waiting for them.
"Sis!" Elias rushed to his Evelyn, hugging her tightly. Breaking the hug, he took them to the operating rooms where Sophia was already waiting for them.
"Anna!" Sophia got up from the bench, tears trickling down her face. Annabelle walked to her only to see the subtle lift of her curves. Before she could wonder further, her sweet mother hugged her tightly, breaking into cries in her arms.
