Chapter 1005: 282: Turmoil, protect Viola Thompson with your life!_4
"It's all my fault, I didn't take good care of Viola. I deserve to die."
Elena Williams couldn't help but turn her head away, dabbing at the tears gathering in her eyes.
Viola Thompson should have been the precious princess adored and pampered by the Thompson family.
Yet she had encountered such a misfortune.
Life had been too harsh on this child.
Penny Kalafatis patted Mary Perryne's back, "Sister-in-law, trust me. Viola will definitely be fine. She's lying in bed now and she needs your care. You have to stay strong, giving Viola strength and encouragement."
"Sister-in-law, if even you fall, how can Viola keep going?"
This question struck Mary Perryne like a heavy blow.
A wake-up call.
Sudden sobering.
Yes.
Penny was right.
She had to stay strong.
She had to be in the best condition possible to welcome Viola back.
Mary Perryne sat up immediately in her bed, "Penny, I'm hungry."
She needed to eat.
She couldn't let Viola worry about her.
Hearing her words, Penny showed a relieved smile and immediately instructed the housemaid to prepare meals for Mary.
Whereas Mary got up right away and freshened herself up.
In no time, she was back to her usual self.
Penny and Elena exchanged meaningful looks, both relieved to see Mary regaining her spirits.
They had been worried that if Mary completely fell apart, Viola, once recovered, would only find Mary collapsing in return.
At 7:40 a.m.
Terrence Lentz walked out of the airport right on time.
He didn't even bother to collect his luggage, took out his phone, and switched off the flight mode.
Messages popped up relentlessly on his WhatsApp.
They were replies from Fiona Knight.
"Mr. Lentz, something happened to Viola!"
Seeing this message, Terrence's brows furrowed.
Without wasting time on reading other messages, he immediately made a phone call.
Fiona, Diana Hershey, and Flora Tiarks, along with Rachel Barton were all on their way to the hospital.
"Viola is not in a good state, currently in the Capital City Hospital."
"The Intensive Care Unit."
Upon hearing the words.
Terrence Lentz didn't care about anything else.
He ran at full speed.
The car was waiting outside.
New novel 𝓬hapters are published on ƒreewebɳovel.com.
Seeing him rush out, the assistant immediately opened the back door, "Sir."
"To Capital City Hospital, quickly!"
The tone of his voice was icy cold.
The driver looked perplexed, glancing at a grim face through the rear-view mirror.
There wasn't any noticeable change in his expression.
But one couldn't bear to look at it for a long time.
The driver floored the gas pedal.
A loud roar emerged from the engine.
The one-and-a-half-hour drive from the airport to the Capital City Hospital was shortened to just half an hour by the driver.
Getting out of the car.
Terrence Lentz went straight to the Capital City Hospital.
He didn't go to the Intensive Care Unit right away.
Instead, he sought the Dean's office.
At the same time.
Outside the door of the Intensive Care Unit.
Diana Hershey, Fiona Knight, Flora Tiarks, and Rachel Barton had all arrived.
Viola lay in bed as before.
Rachel noticed that most of the Thompson family were there.
There was only one person missing.
Mrs. Thompson.
Rachel narrowed her eyes subtly.
"Dad," at that moment, Mandel Thompson trotted over, "I've something to discuss with you."
Being a handsome man with a slender physique, he was like a predominant figure stepping out of a TV drama.
This was Viola's elder brother.
Mandel Thompson.
This was Rachel Barton's first time meeting him.
She felt more firmly than ever that Viola's fate was deserved.
Viola had always claimed to treat her as a close friend, a sister, but she had never tried to set her up with Mandel Thompson.
Mandel Thompson was already thirty- he was of marriageable age.
She was just starting college.
She and Mandel Thompson would make a good match.
Although Mandel and Mr. White were different kinds of men, if Viola had made the effort and Mandel showed sincerity, there might have been a possibility for her with Mandel.
But what about Viola?
What had Viola done?
Viola had done nothing.
During the lonely and depressing time after her miscarriage, Viola had only provided verbal comfort, assuring her that she would surely find her own happiness in the future.
Viola had never taken concrete action.
Had Viola introduced Mandel to her earlier, perhaps, just perhaps, she would not have fallen for Mr. White.
After all, matters of the heart are unpredictable.
And it just so happened that Mandel was entirely her type.
Indeed.
Given who she was, why would she be worthy of the Thompson family?
At this thought, Rachel Barton's eyes filled with a mocking look.
"Uncle, auntie." At that moment, a gentleman of upright posture approached from not far away, stopped in front of Sawyer Thompson and Mary Perryne, "I'm Terrence Lentz."
Terrence Lentz.
Looking at the mature and steady man before them, Sawyer Thompson and Mary Perryne were both astounded, and it took a long while for them to react.
