Chapter 652 Maximilian's Life Hangs by a Thread
Worried that he might be mistaken, Maximilian asked again seriously, "Are you sure it's him? You didn't make a mistake, did you?"
Ruth nodded, firmly stating, "It must be him! To be honest, in my whole life, I have never seen a man with such outstanding looks. The impression he left on me was so deep after just one meeting!"
Maximilian turned and asked, "So, what differences do you see between my back and his?"
Stepping back two steps, Ruth confirmed with just one glance, "Everyone's back is different! His shoulders are a bit wider and more solid than yours. Your body proportions are also different, his legs and height are slightly longer than yours!"
Maximilian fell silent.
He and Billy were only two or three centimeters apart in height, and she could notice such subtle differences?...
Why did it feel like Billy was better than him in every way?
Suddenly, Ruth remembered something and wondered, "A few days ago, this person came with an old man! I repeated everything he asked me to say to that old man. At first, I didn't recognize him! It wasn't until they left that I saw their backs and recognized him. But at that time, I didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that the old man was the person he wanted me to deceive."
Based on her description, Maximilian became more certain of his suspicions, turned around, and sternly warned Ruth, "Don't tell anyone about my visit today, or if anything happens, I won't be able to protect you."
Seeing his serious expression, Ruth realized the seriousness of the situation and nodded vigorously, promising, "I won't say anything, I won't say a word even if threatened with death. You can trust me."
Only then did Maximilian leave.
On the way back, Maximilian couldn't figure out why Billy was acting this way.
Was it because of business competition?
Or had Billy already considered them enemies while he remained unaware?
Did Joe know about his actions?
Or were they working together?
Maximilian felt puzzled, unable to understand.
Until he uncovered the truth, he couldn't make a move, the priority was to quickly explain to his uncle that the curse was a fake.
Otherwise, if he didn't figure this out, he would definitely continue to be at odds with Patricia.
Maximilian drove all night.
He was already very tired.
Now he was driving back.
The round trip was making him gradually feel weak, his eyelids were getting heavy, and in a moment of distraction, he lost control of the steering wheel and veered off the lane.
Maximilian suddenly woke up, subconsciously trying to steer back.
Unfortunately, the car was like a runaway horse, impossible to bring back, crashing straight into a large tree by the roadside—
At the same time.
Patricia was peeling an apple for Martin when she suddenly felt a suffocating sensation in her heart. Without paying attention, the fruit knife cut her finger.
The pain shot through all ten fingers like a dagger.
She gasped in pain.
"How could you be so careless?" Martin immediately held her hand, putting it in his mouth to suck. The warmth in his mouth was comforting. His tongue circled where she was injured. A warm sensation flowed from her fingertips to her heart.
Patricia smiled happily. "I'm fine! Just accidentally cut myself with the fruit knife."
Releasing her hand, Martin found that the bleeding had stopped, and couldn't help but gently blow on her wound. "How did you accidentally cut your hand just now?"
He kept looking at her.
He noticed her face had suddenly turned pale earlier, and in a daze, her finger was cut.
Clearly, something was off with her just now.
Patricia shook her head. "I don't know, I just suddenly felt a bit anxious, my chest felt stuffy, very uncomfortable!"
It felt like something had happened. At this thought, she shuddered. This feeling was just like when Martin had an accident before. It just wasn't as intense as back then.
So, this wasn't just a random occurrence?
Was someone around her really in trouble?
Thinking this, Patricia immediately pulled her hand away from Martin, took out her phone, and dialed a video call to Charles.
At this time, the three children should have finished bathing and be getting ready for bed.
Their video call connected quickly.
Charles, Fannie, and Randy's faces appeared together on the narrow screen of the phone.
Seeing the three of them, Patricia breathed a sigh of relief, "Are you all okay?"
Charles said, "We're fine! We're getting ready to bathe and sleep!"
Patricia asked again, "What about Maria and Declan? Are they okay? Are they feeling unwell? Are they sick?"
Charles replied, "They're also fine! Declan has gained quite a bit of weight, almost catching up to Maria! Don't worry, we have me at home, I'll take care of them."
Upon hearing this, Patricia finally relaxed.
She chatted with the three kids for a while, looked at Maria and Declan for a while, and then ended the call.
Patricia then called Jade Williams and Shane separately.
They were both fine, no issues.
"What's going on? I remember this feeling being exactly like when you had your accident! Could it be that my intuition is off?"
Patricia put away her phone, puzzled.
Besides them, there was no one else close to her.
Martin reached out to rub her head, comforting her, "Since you're fine, don't overthink it!"
Patricia nodded, although she agreed, she couldn't shake off the feeling of unease.
About two to three hours later.
Just as Martin finished his medicine, the door of the ward was suddenly pushed open from outside, and Ryan rushed in panting, stuttering, "Martin, Patricia, Maximilian had an accident!"
Patricia and Martin were both stunned.
Patricia asked nervously, "What happened to him?"
Ryan took deep breaths repeatedly, waiting until he wasn't panting as heavily before speaking again, "He..."
Before he could finish speaking, Patricia's phone in her pocket rang.
It was a call from Kaleb.
She gave Ryan a deep look and then answered the call and put it to her ear. "Hi, Kaleb."
Kaleb's voice was hoarse, as if he was trying to restrain something, "Patricia, you're a cardiac surgery expert, I know I have no right to call you again, but you're the only one who can save Maximilian now, can you help me save him?"
Patricia already felt indebted to Kaleb, so upon hearing this, she said, "Don't worry, just tell me, as long as I can help, I will definitely help you."
Kaleb took a deep breath. "Maximilian had a heart rupture due to the car accident, his condition is quite special, the doctors here are at a loss, but you can save him, right?"
Not knowing Maximilian's specific condition, Patricia didn't dare to promise easily, so she asked, "Where is Mr. Reed now? I'll go over and take a look."
Thinking she had agreed, Kaleb's eyes turned red with excitement, almost on the verge of tears.
"He's in the same hospital where Mr. Langley is staying now, he's currently in the emergency room being treated."
"Okay, I'll be right there!"
After ending the call, Patricia instructed Ryan to stay here and take care of Martin, then rushed to the emergency room as quickly as possible.
