Devoted Love:The Billionaire's Precious Wife -
Chapter 269
Chapter 269: Chapter 269
She had people sent out looking for her, but there was still no sign of Rosemary.
She checked the security footage, only to see her daughter speed out of the driveway like a bat out of hell. It was really dangerous!
The next section of the road had a busted CCTV, so she had no clue where her daughter had ended up.
Serena, standing to one side, couldn’t help but feel a little giddy at the thought. Could Rosemary have been in a car crash?
If that was the case, then the golden goose was hers for the taking!
Excited at the prospect, Serena could barely contain her hopes that Rosemary would never return.
"She just up and left?" Romeo asked over the phone.
"Yeah, she was driving like a bat out of hell, faster than those racecar drivers on TV. Something must’ve happened!" Louisa was nearly in tears as she was still clueless as to what had happened to her.
"Don’t worry, I think I have an idea where she might’ve gone."
There was only one person who could make Rosemary rush like that!
As Romeo headed for the hospital while getting people to investigate, sure enough, he got a message just as he reached the hospital entrance. In the wee hours, the hospital CCTV had indeed captured Rosemary’s figure!
She had come to the hospital!
"Code blue, we’ve got a cardiac arrest!"
"She’s not breathing!"
"Rosemary, what do we do?"
"Hang in there, Granny!" Rosemary was giving it her all. Everyone was fighting against the clock, trying to cheat death!
But things were looking grim. Rosemary’s eyes were red. For the first time, she realized that her medical skills couldn’t cheat death!
Caden, who had been watching her battle for hours on end, couldn’t help but try to reason with her, "Rose, you know this is futile."
"If you don’t stop, you won’t even have a last moment with her."
"Don’t you want to hear Granny’s last words?"
"Rose?!"
"Get out," Rosemary didn’t want to hear any of that. "Granny won’t leave us! She won’t! She can’t! Continue the resuscitation."
Romeo, who had found out Rosemary was in surgery, called Louisa and filled her in.
"Oh, I see. That’s a relief! I’ll go see Granny later. I’m not sure what to bring for my first visit."
Knowing how important Granny was to Rosemary, Louisa began to ponder.
Romeo wanted to tell her that the nurses said Granny’s condition was critical, and that Rosemary had been working on her since the wee hours past 2 AM, but he didn’t want Louisa to worry. So, he merely gave her some advice.
As time trickled by, Romeo waited outside the operating room. From ten to eleven, then from eleven to twelve, the door to the operating room remained closed.
Meanwhile.
At a restaurant owned by the Summerfield family, a newlywed couple stood at the entrance welcoming guests.
"Yoli, this is my uncle and aunt," Zachary, dressed in a suit, whispered.
Yolanda, in a sweeping white wedding gown, immediately broke into a delighted smile and said politely, "Uncle, aunt, I’m so glad you could make it!"
"So, you’re Yolanda, huh? You look a bit different from the photos we’ve seen. Your face seems quite plump. People usually say that’s a sign of good luck," Auntie said with good intentions.
However, Yolanda immediately felt awkward upon hearing that.
She was beaten up by Ms. Archer’s men last night, and her body was covered in bruises. She was dressed up in a trailing wedding gown and white gloves today, but the injuries on her face couldn’t be hidden, so she had to cover them with thick foundation.
It seemed that her face was much chubbier than before, and it looked way different from her previous photos.
But the elders liked girls who were plump.
"Over here, please," Zachary tried to ease the awkward atmosphere.
Last night, his arm was cut by his father, and he had to have surgery. But their engagement invitations had already been sent out, and it would be awkward to cancel the event at the last minute.
This morning, Attlee, Olga Harris, and Yolanda went to visit him, and the Harris family even promised to give them land worth $600 million.
Zachary’s mother hated Yolanda to the bone even last night, but now suddenly she was all smiles. After all, she had to put on a caring act in front of a $600 million deal. "Yoli, are you tired?"
"Auntie, I’m not tired."
"You still call me Auntie; you’ll have to change that after the engagement party!"
Yolanda was taken aback, and then excitedly said, "Okay, I’ll definitely change it then!"
Mr. Panter originally hated the Harris family to the core, but he thought a $600 million deal for an engagement party seemed like a good deal.
If things didn’t work out the way he wanted them to, he could always find an excuse to kick the Harris family out, so the engagement party could proceed as planned.
"Zachary, does your arm still hurt? Do you need a break?" Yolanda asked with concern.
Zachary’s heart softened when he thought about Yolanda visiting him today.
"I’m fine. Do you need to go in and rest?"
Most of the people who came today were from Zachary’s side, only about seven or eight from the bride’s side, but that didn’t stop Attlee and Olga from having a good time.
"Yoli, my dad’s brother and my cousin are here!" Zachary softly reminded Yolanda.
They both had high business statuses, so Attlee and Olga wanted to take that opportunity to get closer to them.
But the cousin’s eyes lit up as soon as he saw Yolanda. "I didn’t expect my brother’s fiancée to be so cute."
"Cousin, you flatter me," Zachary saw new guests arriving and went to greet them.
The cousin grinned at Yolanda, who blushed in response.
Seeing her reaction, he chuckled and continued, "I’ll add you on WhatsApp later, and we can chat about Zachary’s childhood stories!"
"Sure, big bro," Yolanda’s voice was sweet and coy.
The cousin didn’t expect Zachary, a strait-laced guy, to have such a fiancée, which made him laugh even more. "Interesting."
"Cousin, what’s so interesting? Tell me!"
"No, I just thought you’re really lucky," the cousin patted his shoulder and was about to walk away when he suddenly realized that Yolanda’s face looked familiar. He stepped back and took a closer look at Yolanda.
Zachary, thinking his cousin was interested in his fiancée, quickly pulled Yolanda into his arms. "Cousin, with that look in your eyes, people might think you’re interested in my fiancée."
"Hahaha, I just thought she looked familiar, like I’ve seen her somewhere before."
If Yolanda hadn’t gained some weight, her face might have been recognized by the cousin.
Since her face was swollen, the cousin looked at her for a while and still couldn’t remember who she was, so he had to give up on that.
