Chapter 28: Chapter 28: Rescue Failed, Already Gone...

Serena: "Melody, you..."

"Luna, I’m fine." Melody Parker looked at Serena Sterling, her face brightening with a radiant smile, "Without them, haven’t I been living better and more splendidly? I don’t need them now, having Benjamin by my side is enough."

"Yes, Benjamin is truly a good and sensible child! I’m so envious as a godmother!"

Serena laughed charmingly, saying she was envious, but there wasn’t a hint of envy on her face, only happiness for her friend.

Suddenly recalling something, Serena looked at Melody and asked, "By the way, Melody, do you know that Ava Parker is now a popular movie star?"

Melody shook her head, "I didn’t know."

All these years she had been working hard abroad, never paying attention to news from back home, let alone any member of the Parker family.

They weren’t worth her attention at all.

"Oh, my brain, how did I forget to tell you." Serena regretfully patted her forehead, "Your sister? She’s really something!"

Seeing Serena’s expression, Melody knew that when she said "something," there must be a story behind it.

She cooperatively looked at Serena, "So tell me, what’s so special about her?"

"Ahem," Serena coughed twice, clearing her throat, setting up a tone as if she were about to recount a tale.

"Four years ago, as soon as I came back, I heard that Ava Parker inexplicably became the fiancée of Director Davies from the Davies Group. Once the announcement of her being the fiancée of Davies Group went out, your sister became famous. Due to her fiancée status, she received many film offers and quickly became a top-tier celebrity. But ironically, she also became box office poison; anything she acted in, be it TV drama or movie, the box office was indescribably dismal! Her acting was over-the-top, and her scenes poorly edited. Truly, whoever collaborated with her was doomed! However, one reality show she participated in was quite popular, and she gained many fans through it. What was the name of that reality show again?"

For a moment, she couldn’t recall the name of the reality show, which made Serena quite anxious.

Serena’s eyes lit up as the name she had been struggling to remember finally came to her, "’Challenge the Impossible,’ yes, that’s it. Melody, you should watch it sometime when you’re free, Ava Parker’s performance in it, compared to what we know of her, it’s just..."

Seeing Serena’s exaggerated expression, Melody really wanted to check out this reality show.

After talking about Ava Parker, they discussed the changes in River City over the past few years and some interesting stories from Serena’s company...

Just as they were chatting enthusiastically, Serena’s phone rang.

Serena answered with a smile, but in the next second, her expression froze. Her face turned pale as she asked, "Mom, what did you say?"

Not knowing what was said on the other end of the line, Serena became extremely anxious, swiftly standing up from her stool.

Bam! The stool fell to the floor, making a loud noise.

Serena didn’t care about any of this, hastily saying, "Mom, don’t worry, I’ll be right there!"

After speaking, Serena, with a pale face, looked at Melody, "Melody, my father has had an accident, I need to go to the hospital."

After speaking, Serena grabbed the bag on the table and rushed outside.

Melody took two hundred-yuan bills from her bag, pressed them onto the table, and hurriedly chased after her, "Luna, I’ll accompany you."

The two of them ran out of Uptown Café, Melody directly took the car keys from the flustered Serena’s hand. She drove Serena quickly to the hospital.

As soon as the car stopped, the two of them hurriedly got out and rushed to the emergency room.

At the entrance of the emergency room, Serena’s mother, Victoria, weeping and looking lost, and Charles Moore, the chairman of the Morris Group, were anxiously and uneasily focusing on the situation inside the emergency room.

Serena ran to Victoria’s side, supporting her heartbroken and shaky mother, "Mom, what exactly happened? How did Dad end up in the emergency room?"

Victoria cried uncontrollably, "Luna, your dad, your dad he..."

With tear-filled eyes fixated on the emergency room, "Luna, this morning your dad left home just fine, but now he’s inside there being rescued! Luna, your dad, he will come out safe, won’t he?"

"He will!" Serena nodded vigorously, "Dad will surely be okay!"

Watching the mother and daughter embracing, crying together, Charles Moore recalled everything that had happened earlier.

It was because of him, Elder Sterling ended up like this because of him.

Morris Group is in real estate development, with Charles Moore as its chairman, and Elder Sterling—Lori Sterling being Serena’s father, was also Morris Group’s architectural engineer.

Today, Charles Moore went to inspect a construction site.

As the chief engineer, Lori Sterling naturally accompanied him.

Under Lori Sterling’s guidance, Charles Moore examined a commercial building being constructed over twenty stories high.

However, during the inspection, out of nowhere, a concrete slab came crashing down from the sky right above Charles Moore.

Twenty-seven stories, it was twenty-seven stories!

If it hit him, he would surely be in grave danger.

"General Morris, watch out!" At that moment of shock, Lori Sterling pushed Charles Moore away.

Charles Moore was shoved aside, unharmed, dodging the rapidly falling slab.

But Lori Sterling, who pushed Charles Moore, wasn’t as fortunate.

After pushing Charles Moore aside, he didn’t evade in time and was directly hit...

Serena held her mother, tears silently streaming as she comforted her, "Mom, Dad is such a good person, always kind to others, never doing anything wrong, he’ll surely be fine..."

Yes, her father is so good, the heavens will surely bless him, not let anything happen to him!

Her family, though not a wealthy one, had always been warm and loving.

She had a family anyone would envy, with a teacher mother and an engineer father.

She also lived up to her parents’ expectations, securing a good job as a designer.

Her family was so happy and perfect, the heavens wouldn’t be so cruel as to ruin such a blissful, loving family of three.

In the agonizing wait for Serena and her mother, the door of the operating room finally opened, and the chief doctor came out of the emergency room.

Serena supported her nearly fainting mother, quickly approaching, "Doctor, how is my father?"

The doctor shook his head, "The patient’s injuries were too severe, and the rescue was unsuccessful, he’s gone, my condolences..."

"No, that can’t be true!" Hearing the doctor’s words, Victoria, already crying her heart out, screamed in agitation.
