Meeting You Was Fate

Chapter 759 Monica's Heart Disease

Standing next to them, Shyla was also taken aback. In a heartbeat, she hurried to Monica and asked, "Aunt Monica, are you okay? What's wrong?"

Shyla knew that Monica suffered from heart disease, but Monica had never shown any symptoms in front of her. Seeing her like this today scared the hell out of her.

Monica liked Shyla very much. Every time she was with her, she always stayed calm and was not quick to anger.

"Ethon, take her to the hospital right now," Fiona said with concern as she walked up to Ethon and rested her hand on his shoulder.

The color drained from Monica's face. She looked like a fish out of water. She pressed her hand against her chest and winced in pain. The cramp made her feel like she was going to suffocate. This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

With a flustered and serious look on his face, Ethon bent down, scooped his mother up in his arms, and strode toward the door.

Fiona immediately turned around and trotted after Ethon.

Shyla bit her lip. She had no time to react to what had suddenly happened. As she was wearing high heels, it would be inconvenient to run. The only thing she could do was to trot as fast as she could to follow Ethon and Fiona.

Fiona pulled the rear door of her sports car open to let Monica in.

When Ethon was about to carry her in, Monica struggled with a ferocious expression on her face and kicked her legs. She said reluctantly, "I... I don't want to be in her... Her car."

Fiona felt a sting in her heart. She looked away, embarrassed.

She thought, 'What have I done wrong? Why does she hate me so much? To the extent that she doesn't even care about her life!'

"Aunt Monica, please use my car. My car is at the back," Shyla offered anxiously.

Ethon thought about it for a few seconds, exchanging a glance with Fiona.

As if she had read Ethon's mind, Fiona said considerately, "It's okay, Ethon. You can take your mom to her car. I'll go with you."

With his lips trembling, Ethon was moved. At that moment, he thought that Fiona really knew his mind very well. He also felt very guilty.

As he failed to protect his beloved woman at the critical moment, he felt impotent and distressed.

When she was a kid, Fiona had not had a complete family. As a result, she had learned to sympathize with others and be a considerate young woman.

Ethon held Monica in his arms and got into Shyla's car. It was a black Land Rover. Shyla opened the driver's side door, casting a hostile glance at Fiona.

Expressionless, Fiona exchanged a glance with her calmly. She knew what Shyla was thinking, but she did not want to argue with her at this moment.

Sometimes, you really did not know when accidents would happen.

On the way to the hospital, Fiona was in a bad mood, but she tried hard to contain her emotions and not to let herself slip into anger.

She told herself again and again that it was no big deal. After all, Ethon had already chosen to spend the rest of his life with her. As long as he was on her side, she believed that someday, Monica would let

go of her rage and prejudice against her.

The black Land Rover raced wildly along the street. After passing a crossroad, Shyla steered the car to the right. They finally reached JR Hospital.

A doctor came running to them as soon as they entered the emergency room. Monica's coronary heart disease was congenital. Fortunately, she had been taking good care of her body these past few years, so she did not show any symptoms. Ever since she got married to Malcolm, he had treated her fairly well despite not truly loving her. She knew her health condition, so she rarely got emotional. However, recently, she got angry too many times.

At the door to the emergency room, Shyla and Fiona stood with Ethon in the middle. Ethon pressed his lips together tightly and did not say a word. Fiona raised her head to take a careful look at Ethon. She, too, did not know what to say.

Shyla cast a quick glance at Ethon and Fiona. When she saw that they both kept silent, she deliberately pretended to be tender and gentle in front of them. "Don't worry, Ethon. I'm sure your mother will be fine."

"Thank you," Ethon replied. He did not know what else to say. He kept silent for a few more seconds and then said, "Thank you for driving my mother here."

"You're welcome. It was the right thing to do," Shyla answered with a sweet smile.

Ethon turned to look at Fiona and saw that she was also looking at him. They stared at each other but remained silent.

It had been a tough day. Fiona thought today would be one of the most memorable days of her life. She did not expect so many things to go wrong. It was indeed unforgettable but not in the way she had

hoped. She and Ethon had already been to the Marriage Bureau, but they still could not get married. The very thought left a bitter taste in Fiona's mouth. Why did everything go so wrong? Except for her being the mayor's daughter, how could Shyla compete with her?

When Shyla was in college, her academic performance was decent. She entered the entertainment circle early, so she was very popular. In addition, with her father's support, she had lived a fairly easy and happy life.

But Fiona had an even better background. Her sister was Mandy, an internationally renowned pianist, and her brother-in-law was Nathan, the most powerful businessman in City A. Fiona did not talk about her sister and brother-in-law so often. If she relied too much on them, then she would be just like Shyla. She wanted to be recognized for her own hard work.

So, even though she was wronged, she did not tell Mandy about what had happened. Mandy was in a bad mood lately as well because Adrian was sick. She did not want to disturb her sister, who had her own problems to deal with.

In the emergency room

Lying in bed uneasily, Monica felt her heart begin to twitch again, but it was much less painful than before. After being injected with a tranquilizer, she became much less emotional.
