The car’s airbags deployed, severely injuring Callie. The child had to be dealt with immediately.
The surgery was complex and caused massive bleeding. Mollie tightly grasped the doctor’s hand. “Please, doctor… you must save her, no matter the cost!”
The doctor hurried into the operating room. “I’ll do my best!”
Mollie stood there for a moment, wiping her tears. For the first time in days, she called Bridger, but no one answered.
A lot happened that night.
Nelson and Ahmad talked for a long time but ultimately did not reach an agreement on business matters.
Ahmad was clear in his stance. “Nelson, you need to divorce and marry Marilyn. Between you and Jaquan, you know I’ve always favored you. If you agree, everything will be yours. After I die, the Ellison family will be yours too.”
…
Afupshire wasn’t the only one with two teams.
Lucia was also involved. She had sent someone to keep an eye on Callie, who reported that Callie had been in a car accident on her way to the financial center and was injured by the airbags. She was still being treated.
Lucia jumped up in surprise but quickly composed herself. “Nelson has already gone to the Ellison family. What’s their stance?”
“The Ellison family’s young lady has admired Mr. Oconnor for many years. This might force a marriage…”
“I understand… No matter what, he must not know about this! At least not today! Do you understand?”
“I’ll take care of it right away.”
Late at night, Mollie drove fast and almost had a rear-end collision. She rolled down her window to apologize, her hair blown into a mess by the wind. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I have an urgent matter…”
The other driver was taken aback but couldn’t resist a beautiful woman crying. “No matter how urgent, you can’t drive so fast…”
The financial center was brightly lit at night. Mollie tried to get in but was stopped. “Sorry, ma’am, please show your work ID.”
“I have an urgent matter. Nelson knows me; I need to see him!”
The receptionist found her claim absurd. “Sorry.”
At three in the morning, Mollie waited downstairs and received a call from the nurse. “Mollie, your friend has been stabilized and moved to the intensive care unit for observation. If she wakes up, she’ll be fine.”
Mollie finally breathed a sigh of relief. She looked up and shouted for the first time in public, “Bridger! Answer the phone!”
Her loud voice drew many onlookers, and the receptionist quickly ran out. “Miss, miss, you can’t shout like that.”
Mollie ignored her, dodging while continuing to shout, “Bridger!”
Knowing full well that no one upstairs could hear her, she still did it.
Mollie bit her lip, her eyes red from crying all night.
“Miss!”
Their struggle attracted more attention. Just then, a man in a suit came out from inside and hurried over upon hearing the commotion. Seeing it was Mollie, he was startled. “Miss Mollie!”
“You’re Nelson’s subordinate!” Mollie almost cried with joy.
“What are you doing…”
Mollie grabbed his hand like a lifeline. “Where’s Nelson?”
Seeing her urgent expression, the subordinate sensed something was wrong. “What’s happened?”
On the thirty-second floor.
“A car accident?”
Bridger had just handed Mollie a cup of hot water when he heard this and trembled, spilling hot water on his hand and reddening it. “Are you okay?”
“I’m fine; I was in a blind spot, but Callie is hurt. She just came out of surgery and isn’t doing well.”
“She was diagnosed with an ectopic pregnancy a few days ago and now had to have the child removed.”
