Chapter 679 Blair in Danger
Russell and Wade were holding an emergency meeting with the shareholders.
Suddenly, Russell felt his eyelid twitch uncontrollably. He suddenly had a bad feeling. It came out of nowhereโsudden and intense.
He couldnโt focus on the pressing issues facing the company. Just thenโฆ the secretary rushed in with a phone in hand. โMr. Jenson, itโs urgent! Mrs. Jensonโsomethingโs happened! You need to hear this!โ
โWhat?!โ
Russellโs heart nearly stopped at those words. Ignoring everything else, he snatched the phone. โHello? What happened? What did you say?! Fine! Iโm on my way!โ
โMr. Jenson, are you leaving now? But the meetingโโ
โTo hell with the meeting! My wife had an accident! You deal with it yourselves!โ
Russell roared in anger and dashed out of the conference room.
Wade came to his senses and ran after him. โDad! Wait for me!โ
Russell didnโt stop. All he could think about was Blairโs safety. He had just heard over the phone that Blair had suffered a severe head injury and was bleeding heavily.
Russell was screaming and praying in his mind. Blair! No! Donโt let anything happen! Please donโt let anything happen!
In the private hospital invested in by Jenson Group, Russell and Wade raced frantically through traffic, running red light after red light, to get to the hospital as fast as possible.
Seeing Blair lying in the ICU, receiving treatment from the doctors, Russellโs eyes burned with rage.
โWhat happened?! Why did this happen to Blair?! Why?!โ
Justin and Kayden stood to the side, clenching their fists and blaming themselves. โDad, weโre so sorryโฆ We were right there, but this still happened to Momโฆโ
Wade said anxiously, โJustin, Kayden, what happened?! Tell us clearly so we can figure out how to fix this!โ
โItโs all my fault, Dad, Wade. Mom wanted to use the toilet, so I took her there. She said she just needed to pee and didnโt want me to hold her, saying it was embarrassing, and she told me to wait outside the doorโฆ I was watching her use her crutches when she suddenly said she was dizzyโฆ Before I could even react, she fell to the floorโฆโ Kyla was already crying so hard she could barely speak.
โDamn it!โ
At this point, Russell couldnโt bring himself to blame Kyla. He just punched the hallway wall, biting his lip so hard it was about to bleed. No wonder he felt so uneasy during the meeting, as if something was wrong. But he never thought it would be Blair again! Why?! God, what did we do to deserve this? Why does it have to be Blair who gets hurt? If anyoneโs supposed to suffer, it should be me!
Kyla sobbed as she approached Russell. โDad, Iโm sorryโฆ Itโs all my faultโฆ If I hadnโt listened to Mom and had stayed there helping herโฆ this never would have happenedโฆ Itโs all my faultโฆ my faultโฆ Dad, please hit me. Itโll make me feel a little betterโฆโ
โYou!โ
Seeing Kyla sobbing like that, Russell was so angry he wanted to slap her. All the old and new anger exploded at that moment! But just as he was about to hit her, the last bit of his sense stopped him.
In the end, he just sighed heavily. โGo home, Kyla.โ
โDad, I want to stay here with Momโฆโ
โGo home!โ
Russell couldnโt hold back and shouted at Kyla, which shocked everyone. Kyla looked up at Russellโs eyes, which were red from anger and guilt. Tears streamed down her face. โDadโฆ Iโm sorryโฆ Iโll leave firstโฆโ
After saying that, Kyla ran away crying.
Justin hesitated for a moment, then walked over to Russellโs side. He said sadly, โDad, I know we canโt go back to how things were with Kyla, butโฆ I donโt think she did this on purpose.โ
โI knowโฆ I knowโฆ But I canโt control it. Because of Kyla, I lost Tilda, and now I have to watch Blair suffer like thisโฆ I couldnโt control myselfโฆโ Russell felt all his strength drain away. His body went limp, and he collapsed to the floor, unable to stand, covered in a cold sweat.
โItโs going to be okay, Dad. Mom will be fine; good people are always blessed. This hospital has the best and most advanced equipment, and the best doctors are operating on her right now. Sheโll be okay.โ Wade was trying to comfort Russell, but he was also trying to comfort himself.
Right now, all they could do was pray. Pray that Blair would be okay. Because if anything happened to Blairโฆ
