Devoted Love:The Billionaire's Precious Wife novel Chapter 1014

Chapter 1014: Chapter 1013

Realizing the grim possibility, Serena spat out another mouthful of blood, a mix of sorrow and fury overwhelming her until she slipped into unconsciousness.

The medical machines blared their alarming tones, and Martin, sensing the urgency, immediately pressed the call button.

Doctors and nurses rushed in once again, ushering him out.

Outside the hospital room, Martin, at his wit’s end, dialed the number of that enigmatic contact once more.

For two days and nights, the mysterious person hadn’t taken his calls. This time was no different; the call went unanswered.

Call after call, Martin’s efforts seemed in vain. Clearly, he had been discarded like a useless pawn.

Despair and helplessness washed over Martin as he covered his face with his hands, sobbing.

After what felt like an eternity, the medical team emerged, and with a heavy heart, one of them announced, "Mr. Cooper, you’ve got the last three hours to say your goodbyes to Serena."

"What did you say?" Martin stood up, tears brimming in his eyes.

"We’ve done all we can," the nurse said with regret. "Serena’s condition has taken a severe turn for the worse."

"Can’t you do anything else to save her?"

"Her illness is peculiar, complex. We’ve never seen anything like it in all our years," one doctor admitted, though it was clear to him that not even Ms. Rose could save Serena now.

Martin’s tears fell freely. He knew all too well that Rosemary was determined not to lend a hand.

"If Dr. Caden were still here, maybe he could’ve done something, but he left Hope Hospital a long time ago. We’ve only seen him once since then, at Ms. Rose’s homecoming party. Other than that, he’s been out of sight."

Finding him was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

And Serena couldn’t wait that long.

"We are truly sorry," the doctors and nurses said in unison, bowing to express their deepest apologies before leaving, helpless.

Martin pushed open the door to the hospital room and saw Serena on the bed, looking as fragile as a porcelain doll, her complexion pale and weak, eyes closed as if she might slip away at any moment.

The shallow peaks and valleys on the medical monitor indicated her breathing was barely there.

"She brought this on herself," came the cold voice of Diana from the doorway.

Rolling her eyes, Diana walked into the adjacent room.

Martin sat by the bedside, holding Serena’s hand, his tears falling unrestrained.

After a moment, Serena’s fingers twitched, and her eyelids slowly opened.

She parted her lips, as if struggling to speak.

Martin rushed to the railing, "Serena, what are you trying to say?"

"Martin." Serena’s breath was faint, as if summoning her last bit of life, she struggled to utter, "I don’t want to die."

Tears welled up in Martin’s eyes once again.

"I haven’t gotten engaged to you, haven’t started a family with you. I really don’t want to die."

After murmuring those words and shedding tears, Serena slipped back into unconsciousness.

Martin’s tears, once more, became uncontrollable, like a dam breaking under the force of a flood.

After composing himself, Martin dialed the mysterious caller again, persistently ringing through without a response, refusing to waste a single second.

After countless attempts, the call was finally answered.

"Don’t hang up!" Martin pleaded urgently, "I’ll do anything you ask, just save her."

"How can I trust you again? Besides, I have many pawns in my game; your absence wouldn’t be the end of the world."

"As you’ve said, no one else can save her but you. I’m still waiting for the final antidote. so in the meantime, I’ll do whatever you command! I won’t ignore your orders. You might find someone else, but they might not be as capable as me, and they might not have the right motivation to take on the Collins family."

Because Serena was his girlfriend, and Rosemary refused to save Serena, Martin, in a fit of rage, had someone take out Rosemary. This reason could keep the mysterious person out of the picture and direct the Collins family’s vengeful fury solely at Martin, clearing the mysterious figure.

That was why the mysterious caller wanted him to strike at Rosemary.

"Come to the terrace on this floor." The voice on the phone seemed to relent.

Martin immediately left the hospital room balcony and dashed towards the terrace on that floor.
