Chapter 446: Recurrence of Heart Disease
When Mr. Sinclair’s name came up, Jasper Sinclair looked even more troubled. He thought his plan to send Peach Bell to the academy was flawless and without any hiccups, but unexpectedly encountered a setback here.
The butler rushed over at the sound and used all his strength to pull Peach Bell away.
In the midst of chaos, Nora Northwood noticed something was wrong with her complexion and remembered she had congenital heart disease. She hurriedly pointed it out, "Her face is unusually flushed. Find a way to calm her emotions first."
Just as these words fell, Peach Bell suddenly lost strength and collapsed limply to the ground.
The butler, who was closest to her, was bent over, panting heavily. Facing the sudden turn of events, he was slow to react.
The moment her head hit the floor, a loud sound echoed.
"Butler, arrange for the driver to go to the nearest hospital." Jasper Sinclair spoke calmly, giving the orders methodically.
The aunt took Grandma Sinclair back to her room to rest, while the others all went to the hospital.
On the road, the atmosphere in the car was extremely oppressive.
Jasper Sinclair’s hand rested on his knee, his knuckles white, veins bulging on the back of his hand, clearly suppressing intense emotions.
Nora Northwood sat beside him, under her delicate nose, her lips pale, her chest feeling like layers of giant stones weighing her down, making it hard for her to breathe.
How did it come to this?
As she pondered, the car had steadily stopped at the hospital entrance.
Jasper Sinclair cradled the unconscious person in his arms and headed towards the emergency department.
On the way, the butler had already contacted the doctor in advance, directly sending her to the emergency examination room.
Nora Northwood followed behind, despite quickening her pace repeatedly, she still couldn’t keep up with Jasper Sinclair’s speed.
Watching the man’s hurried silhouette, she couldn’t help feeling desolate, as if this marriage had reached a dead end, suddenly leaving nothing worth remembering.
Peach Bell entered the examination room, and Jasper Sinclair was forced to stay in the corridor outside the door.
The real cause of Sinclair Family parents’ death is still under investigation, and the person lying on the operating table is a key figure in the case. He must ensure Peach Bell can come out safely and unharmed.
"Jasper."
The voice from behind pulled Jasper Sinclair’s thoughts back, making him realize Nora Northwood was still there.
He turned his head and apologetically said, "Tonight’s events frightened you."
"No, just sit down and wait; rushing won’t help."
Jasper Sinclair remained silent for three seconds, and then he finally sat down, realizing that what she said made sense.
Although he sat on the seat, his hands did not remain idle. He instructed the butler, "Contact the best internal medicine doctor in the country; make sure Peach Bell is not in any life-threatening danger. Also, get a neurology specialist; she just hit her head, and I don’t know the examination results yet."
Listening to his rational analysis and his willingness to bring in various experts domestically and abroad, Nora Northwood felt slightly sarcastic.
Just the night before, he had confidently stated that all matters would be handled by Raina Sinclair.
The fear and anxiety in her heart at that moment transformed into deep disappointment.
The thought of "divorce" rose once again from Nora Northwood’s heart. Some seeds, once planted, grow unstoppably, from a small sprout to a big plant... this was not the marriage she expected.
After arranging the preliminary preparations, Jasper Sinclair turned to Nora Northwood, "It’s late. I’ll stay here alone. Let the driver take you back to the villa to rest. Call me if there’s anything."
With those words, silence swept over both sides for a moment.
"How long do you plan to stay here? One day? Two days? Or a month?"
