Chapter 620 Ash, Don’t Leave
“You bastard! Are you all dead? Get Sadie to the hospital now!” Rowan roared.
It was only then that the maids rushed forward and carried the unconscious Sadie away from Elias.
Elias made a beeline for the door. However, Rowan, seething with rage, was on the verge of slapping him in the face.
Elias turned to face him, and the latter found his hands trembling. He couldn’t lay a hand on Elias as he looked into his cold, dead eyes.
Elias smirked. “If anything happens to my wife, I’ll take both her life and her child’s life.”
He knew Sadie orchestrated everything to protect her son from inheriting the Undvike family. They were all responsible for this, and he wanted them dead.
Rowan was furious. “Over my dead body!”
Elias pushed past him and left.
Elias changed his clothes at home before heading to the hospital. He was worried that if Ash woke up and saw him covered in blood, it would scare her.
As he entered the hospital, his phone rang.
He glanced at the screen, and it was another unknown call from abroad. Thus, he hung up the call immediately.
Elias took the lift up. Meanwhile, his assistant was waiting at the entrance. “Mr Undvike, the person has been brought here.”
Elias showed no emotion as he walked toward the ICU, where his men were holding Ashley’s aunt, Gianna, at the entrance.
The moment Gianna saw him, she charged at him and yelled, “Elias! Where have you taken my son? Have you no respect for the law? Do you think I won’t call the police and have you arrested?”
Elias‘ lips curled into a sarcastic smile. “Gianna, you’re so legalistic.”
He grabbed her by the collar and slammed her against the wall. Anger flared in his eyes as he said in a demanding tone, “How dare you team up with Sadie to harm Ash?”
“I don’t understand what you’re talking about! I haven’t done anything!” Gianna protested.
Elias smiled. “If you weren’t involved, would I be here confronting you?”
Gianna gritted her teeth. “What do you want?”
“I heard they brought you from the church. Since you’re so devout, kneel here and bow in front of the ICU door. You will kneel here as long as Ash is unconscious,” Elias said.
Gianna came from a family of lawyers. She couldn’t take this humiliation.
“Elias, you…” She tried to protest.
“It’s alright. If you don’t kneel, don’t expect to see your son again,” Elias said.
Elias silenced Gianna’s protests. She glared at him in anger as his men forced her to kneel and bow.
Elias didn’t spare her another look. He changed into a sterile suit in the decontamination room before entering the ICU. He wanted to stay with Ashley and watch over her.
He held her cold hand and called out, “Honey, don’t sleep. Wake up, honey. Ash…”
Yet, Ashley continued to lay still and unresponsive.
48 hours passed, but no miracle happened. Ashley remained unconscious, and the ICU’s complex equipment continued to monitor Ashley’s vitals. Suddenly, an alarm went off at night, and Elias panicked. He didn’t know what had gone wrong.
He worriedly called out her name. “Ash! Ash!”
Doctors and nurses quickly arrived and rushed Ashley into the emergency room. Elias gripped Ashley’s hand tightly and followed the stretcher. His eyes were bloodshot.
“Ash! Ash, don’t leave me! Please don’t leave me alone…” he said.
The door to the emergency room slammed shut, and the nurses blocked his way. Elias released Ashley’s hand before the door closed.
Elias’s expectations had reduced over time. Initially, he wanted both the mother and the child to be safe. Then, he only wished for Ashley to be well.
Now, he just wanted her to stay alive. As long as she was alive, even if she never woke up, he could hold onto some hope. He was worried that she might not make it and leave him behind.
Jayden’s foreign specialist had just arrived. After the doctors had changed into their surgical attire, they entered the operating room.
Elias waited outside the operating room. His eyes were empty and hollow.
He numbingly wondered when the last time he waited outside an operating room for Ashley was.
