Chapter 294 Where Have I Seen Him Before
She has already sent people to look for her, but there is no sign of Abella anywhere. She checked the surveillance footage and only saw her precious daughter speeding past the North Bridge, risking her life. There was a section of the road where the cameras were broken, so she doesn't know where Abella went after crossing the bridge.
Lola, who was standing by, secretly delighted in the thought, could it be that Abella got into a car accident and died? She couldn't help but hope that Abella would never come back.
"She left in a hurry?" Philippe asked in a gentle voice over the phone.
"Yes, she was driving really fast, even faster than those racing drivers on TV. Something must have happened!" Mrs. Medici was on the verge of tears.
"Don't worry... I think I know where she went."
There was only one person who could make her so frantic. While Philippe continued to investigate, he hurried to the hospital. As expected, just as he arrived at the hospital gate, he received a message from his subordinate. The surveillance footage indeed captured Abella's figure around two in the morning. She came to the hospital.
"Oh no, the patient's heart has stopped!"
"No breathing!"
"Dr. O, what should we do?"
"Grandma, stay awake!" Abella fought desperately, and everyone was doing their best, racing against time and death.
But the situation became increasingly futile. Abella's eyes turned red as she realized that her medical skills were so useless, unable to save even one person. Dr. Smith, who was by her side, couldn't help but advise after seeing her struggle for more than ten hours.
"Abella, you know this isn’t helping? If you don't stop now, you won't have a chance. Do you not even want to hear Grandma's last words? Abella?"
...
"Get out—" Abella didn't want to hear those words. "Grandma won't die! She won't die! She can't die! Continue the assistance—"
Upon learning that Abella was performing surgery, Philippe called Mrs. Medici to reassure her.
"So that's how it is... Well, then I'll be relieved! I'll visit Grandma later, our first meeting, I don't know what I should bring..." Mrs. Medici knew how important Grandma was to Abella, so she was torn.
Philippe wanted to tell her what the nurse said, about Grandma's condition being extremely critical. Abella had been struggling since the early hours of the morning, but afraid that Mrs. Medici would worry, he decided not to say anything and only gave a small suggestion.
As time ticked away, Philippe waited outside the operating room, from ten until eleven, and then from eleven until twelve. But the doors of the operating room still didn't open.
...
Meanwhile, in New York, in the restaurant, a pair of newlyweds stood at the entrance welcoming guests.
"Isla, these are my uncle and aunt..." Remy, dressed in a suit, introduced softly.
Isla, in her flowing white wedding gown, immediately put on a smile and politely exclaimed, "I'm glad you could make it!"
"So, you must be Isla? You don't look the same as in the photos, your face looks plump!" The second aunt's words carried good intentions. But Isla felt somewhat awkward upon hearing that. Last night, she had been beaten up by Violet's people, covered in bruises.
Today, she purposely wore a trailing wedding gown and white sleeves, but the injuries on her face couldn't be concealed, only masked by thick foundation. It appeared that her face had gained two full rounds, completely different from the past photos.
"Uncle, aunt, please come inside." Remy smiled, trying to smooth things over.
Last night, his arms were scratched by his father, and he had to undergo surgery. Unfortunately, the engagement invitations had already been sent out, and canceling last minute would be embarrassing for them.
Earlier today, Mr. Wilson, Mrs. Wilson, and Isla went to visit him. The Wilson family would share half of Patrick's land worth 12 billion dollars with them after the engagement ceremony.
Mrs. Hamilton, who had despised Isla with a vengeance last night, now wore a smile, considering the value of 6 billion dollars. She reluctantly asked, "Isla, are you tired from standing?"
"I'm not tired."
Mr. Hamilton, had grown to despise the Wilson family, but he couldn't help but think that an engagement ceremony was worth 6 billion dollars. If things didn't work out, he could find an excuse to rid themselves of the Wilson family later on. That's why today's engagement ceremony could proceed as planned.
"Remy, does your arm hurt? Do you want to rest for a bit?" Isla expressed concern. Remy remembered when Isla came to see him, and had comforted him, in an intimate way, with their parents absent.
"I'm not tired. What about you? Do you want to take a break and go inside?"
"No, today is the day I've been looking forward to the most!" Isla smiled innocently.
Only male relatives from the groom's side had come today; there were only seven or eight people from the bride's side. But that didn't dampen the happiness of the Wilson couple.
"Isla, my cousin has arrived!" Remy whispered in Isla's ear.
Isla's attention was immediately drawn to Remy's cousin. She had heard that Remy's cousin was quite handsome and seeing him today confirmed it. As for Remy's flirtatious cousin, as soon as he saw Isla, his interest was piqued.
"I didn't expect Isla to be so cute."
"You flatter me, cousin." Remy greeted another guest who had arrived.
In less than a minute, the cousin was already grinning mischievously at Isla, and Isla responded with a shy expression. Seeing that she was interested, the cousin teasingly whispered, "I'll add you on WhatsApp later and chat with you."
"Let's talk about Remy's childhood!"
"Sure, brother." Isla's calling him brother made him feel touched.
Remy didn't expect his cousin to be so straightforward, especially since he had a fiancée. It made him laugh even more wickedly.
“This is interesting."
"Cousin, what's interesting? Tell me!"
"It's nothing. I think you're fortunate." His cousin patted his shoulder, about to go inside. Suddenly, he remembered that he had seen Isla's face somewhere before. He stepped back and stared at Isla.
Remy thought his cousin had taken a liking to his fiancée, so he quickly embraced Isla, "Cousin, that look in your eyes... anyone would think you're interested in my fiancée."
"No cousin. It’s just... I just feel like I've seen her somewhere before." If Isla hadn't gained some weight, her face might have been recognizable to his cousin. But because her face was swollen, his cousin couldn't figure out who she was, even after staring for a while, and gave up.
