Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 411 ââ¦Heâs crazy.â
Catherine was at a loss for words.
Did he think he was still a three-year-old kid?!
Forget it, she would go home and cook roast pork for him.
â¦
After getting off work, Catherine went to the supermarket and bought some pork.
She turned on the radio while she was driving.
A piece of breaking news that just came in was heard on the radio. âWe bring you the latest update.
The director of Yule Corporation, Joel Yule, was involved in a car accident with a lorry half an hour ago.
The driver died at the scene while Joel Yule was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment, but his current condition is unknown. According to some news from the scene, the situation was tragic. Itâs likely that tomorrowâs stock market will be heavily affectedâ¦â
The words that came afterward shot through Catherineâs ears in a blur. She was in shock.
Although the time she spent with Joel was short, he was still her only family left.
He had gotten into an accident?
She turned the car around hastily and rushed to the hospital.
The corridor of the emergency room was crowded with members of the Yule family.
When Nicola, who was bawling, saw Catherine, she charged at her angrily and hit her. âYouâre such a jinx! Joel got into an accident as soon as you returned. Itâs all your fault.â
Catherine slapped her hand away annoyedly. She scolded her with bloodshot eyes, âMy dad is inside, and itâs still uncertain whether heâll live or die. Rather than being worried about your husband, you, as his wife, are deliberately taking your anger out on me. Are you mad?â
âWho said Iâm taking out my anger on you? Itâs obviously your fault.â Nicola faltered for a second under Catherineâs sharp gaze. âOf course, Iâm worried about Joel. Iâm worried about him more than anyone else.â
âThen hold in your anger. Everyoneâs having a hard time, so stop quarreling. I finally found my dad and we were only reunited for a short while. I donât want to lose him.â
Catherineâs tone was filled with plea and anguish. The way she looked at Nicola was as if she was an unreasonable person, and this made Nicola furious.
âWhat do you mean by that? It was youââ
âEnough, shut your mouth.â Old Madam Yule was overwhelmed with grief, but after hearing Catherineâs bitter words, she also thought that Nicolaâs behavior was unacceptable. âCatherineâs right. Joel is still being rescued inside. Will you give it a rest?â
Nicola was embarrassed for being told off. She just covered her face with her hands and started bawling in the corridor.
One hour later.
The doctor came out and said regretfully, âIâm sorry. Mr. Yuleâs life is saved for now, but heâll most likely be unable to wake up.â
Nicola was anxious. âYou mean that heâll be in a vegetative state?â
The doctor nodded. âBut thereâs still hope. Some patients wake up even after being bedridden for a few years or more than ten years.â
âOh, my poor Joel!â Old Madam Yule wailed in sadness. âHow did this happen? He was just fine. How did he get into an accident?â
âGranny, donât be sad. I believe Dad will definitely wake up.â Melanie cried too. Although Joel had been biased toward her nowadays, at least in the past he had treated her well.
âIâll wait for your dad to wake up even if I die in this lifetime,â Nicola sobbed while covering her eyes.
âMom, Dad, donât worry. Iâll take good care of Joel.â
Old Master Yule nodded sadly. Just as he was about to talk, Catherine spoke hoarsely, âGrandpa, I would like to take care of Dad personally. Firstly, the time I spent with Dad was too short. I want to fulfill my filial duty. It doesnât matter even if heâs in a vegetative state. At least I can look at his face more.â
âChildâ¦â Old Madam Yule was touched.
âSecondly, Shaun has a close relationship with Young Master Jewell. Young Master Jewellâs medical skills are exceptional. The top private hospitals in Australia are mostly owned by Young Master Jewell as well. Even if Young Master Jewell canât be of any help, Shaun has wide connections, so maybe he can get renowned doctors overseas to treatâ¦.â
