Chapter 408 Awake
Meanwhile, when Jack and the crew showed up at the hospital, Seb was still getting resuscitated inside.
"How's Mr. Landon?" Jack asked.
Zaire gave him a complicated look. "Not good."
Kelsey walked over to Miley and asked softly, "Where's Nina and Bella?"
Miley shook her head. "Haven't seen Bella since it happened. Nina went to find Richard. He's got a lot of connections, so he should be able to track her down soon."
"How did this even happen?" Kelsey glanced at the operating room. "Everything was fine yesterday. Seb loves Bella so much; there's no way he'd cheat on her. Must be those paparazzi making stuff up for clicks."
Before Kelsey could finish, the elevator dinged.
Miley saw who stepped out and quickly pulled Kelsey, signaling her to zip it.
Kelsey turned, confused. A man and a woman stepped out. The guy was young, in a suit and glasses, and looked unfamiliar. But Kelsey recognized the woman. "Siena?"
Miley whispered, "She's the one from the news."
"What?" Kelsey was shocked. "No way! She's Seb's sister!"
Miley asked, "Biological?"
Kelsey fell silent.
Bradley, who was with Siena, pressed the doorbell of the operating room.
Soon, someone opened the door. "Are you Dr. Vaughn?"
"Yeah, that's me." Bradley nodded. "How's Mr. Landon?"
"Not good. The lead surgeon wants to discuss his treatment with you. Please come in."
Bradley nodded and stepped inside.
Siena tried to follow but was blocked by Jack. "You can't go in!"
Siena looked startled. "Jack, you must be misunderstanding me."
"I don't know why you're here," Jack said sternly, "But Mr. Landon definitely doesn't want to see you. Ms. Scott, you should leave."
Siena bit her lip and looked at Bradley.
Bradley said, "Jack, I brought her here."
Jack frowned, confused.
Bradley calmly said, "She's the key to Mr. Landon's unresolved issues."
Jack was taken aback. He got the weight of that statement and the significance of this key.
Bradley said, "Jack, if you trust me, let me take her in."
Jack hesitated but eventually lowered his hand.
The resuscitation lasted four hours, and Seb was finally wheeled out safely.
Everyone surged forward, only to see Seb, still out cold, tightly clutching Siena's hand, refusing to let go.
Miley frowned deeply at the sight.
Kelsey was also a bit upset, but she thought that Seb might not have been fully conscious and could have confused Siena with Isabella, so she decided to restrain herself.
For the next two weeks, Seb stayed in a coma.
With Seb out cold and Isabella missing, the wedding was off and became the hottest gossip in entertainment news.
Nina had asked Richard to find Isabella, but days went by with no word from him. Even his phone was unreachable.
Nina went to the casino but only found Michael.
Before she could say anything, Michael handed her a letter. "This is from Richard."
Without another word, Michael turned and left.
Nina opened the envelope; a card and a letter fell out.
The letter was short, just a few words: [Wait for me.]
Nina suddenly realized Richard might not be in Lakina anymore. She found Michael to ask for more info.
Michael was silent for a long time before slowly saying, "Richard has his reasons. Nina, I hope you can understand."
Nina frowned. She believed Richard had his reasons for leaving without a word, but what about Bella?
Before she could ask, Michael said, "Richard said he would find Isabella. Please don't worry."
Nina was speechless. She didn't know how to calm down.
Nina went to the hospital, hoping to see Esme and ask for her help. But when she arrived, she found that Elodie's floor had been cleared out. The medical staff told her, "Elodie has been discharged. She left last night."
Two weeks later, it was dinnertime, and the family was gathered around the table at the Jose Mansion, but no one was eating.
A heavy pall seemed to hang over everyone's heads, lingering incessantly, weighing down their spirits and utterly killing their appetites.
Sweetie's cries echoed, and Margaret came in holding Sweetie. "Sweetie seems sick. She hasn't been eating or sleeping well these past few days. However, the doctor said nothing's wrong; Sweetie must be missing her mom."
The atmosphere in the living room grew even heavier.
Kelsey stood up, walked over, and patted Sweetie's hand. "Let me hold her."
Margaret handed Sweetie to her.
Kelsey hadn't been holding her long before Sweetie started crying again.
While the family was busy comforting Sweetie, the hospital called. They said Seb had woken up.
Zaire stood up and grabbed his coat. "I'll go."
Nina also stood up. "I'll go too."
Kelsey quickly said, "Wait for me. I'll go with you."
Nina turned back, saw Sweetie in Kelsey's arms, and came back to take Sweetie. "We'll all go together."
