Winning Her Heart Back

Chapter 621 The Real Culprit

It happened during the month Ashley and Elias lived together.

The previous night, Ashley had appeared unwell, and she continuously clutched onto her stomach. When Elias asked if she was alright, she said she was. She thought it was just her period.

However, the next morning, Elias was woken up by Ashley’s groans from the adjacent room. He sensed that something was amiss, so he hadn’t been imable to fall into deep sleep. Upon hearing her cries, he immediately leapt out of bed and rushed to her.

“Ash, what’s wrong?” he asked.

Ashley was curled up in bed, clutching her stomach. “It hurts…”

“I’ll take you to the hospital!” he shouted.

“Call Beathan. He can take me,” she instructed.

At that time, in her eyes, Elias was merely a rebellious child who had run away from home. He was unreliable and not someone she could depend on. Meanwhile, Beathan was her boyfriend.

But Elies pretended not to hear her. He secretly liked her and was jealous of Beathan. So, he grabbed a coat, draped it over her, and scooped her up in his

Ashley was taken aback. Even at his age, Elias was much stronger than she had expected.

d with a doctor, and took her for tests.

Elias took her to the hospital and brought her to the emergency room. He waited in line, consulted

Although he had once been a pampered child and was used to having others handle such matters, he managed everything himself that day. When he wasn’t sure about something, he would look it up on his phone.

In the end, Ashley was diagnosed with appendicitis. It was rather severe, and she required surgery.

Elias was only 17 years old back then. So, when he beard the terms “surgery“, he perceived it as a grave matter. As Ashley was wheeled into the operating room, he was on the verge of tears.

Ashley, sensing his worry, held his hand and attempted to comfort him. “Don’t worry, I’ll be fine.”

“Really?” he questioned her.

“Of course, I’ll live to be a hundred,” she replied.

“Promise me,” he insisted.

“I promise,” she said.

Five hours later, the light above the operating room door was switched off, and two foreign doctors walked out.

For a moment, Ellas hesitated to approach them

Jayden, who had arranged for the doctors, had been waiting with him. He asked on Elias‘ behalf, “How is she?”

One of the foreign doctors said, “We have cleared the residual blood clots from the patient’s head, and she is now out of life–threatening danger.”

A glimmer of hope returned to Elias” eyes, and he eagerly asked, “Does that mean she’ll wake up?”

The doctor shook his head. “Whether she wakes up or not depends on her. You should visit often and talk to her. I’ll stimulate her nerves and might be beneficial for her awakening.”

“What do you mean?” he asked.

“The patient is in a vegetative state,” he replied.

Ellas felt the world spinning around him, as if everything had collapsed at that moment

Ashley remained in the ICU for another 24 hours. Once her vital signs stabilized, she was transferred to a regular ward. Now, apart from being unconscious, her condition was stable.

Many people wanted to visit Ashley, Including the Undvike family, the Thomton family, her friends, and her colleagues. Some media companies also wanted to interview her due to the news coverage.

However, Elias refused all visitors. He wouldn’t allow anyone to disturb Ashley,

He had already arranged for a room at home to be converted into a ward. He planned to bring her home since he knew Ashley disliked hospitals.

A foreign doctor entered the ward with a team. “Mr. Undvike, we need to conduct some tests on Ms.Thornton.” Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

The doctor went ahead after seeing that Ellas remained silent. His team recorded some data and discussed it among themselves quietly.

-The nurses left first. The foreign doctor, who was the last to leave, paused in his steps.

He said in a low voice, “Mr. Undvike, even if you disfigured Sadie and made her lose her child, or demand Gianna to apologize at the door every day, they’re not the real culprits.”

Elias turned to face him. “What did you say?”

The doctor continued in a low voice, “The lady of our house has called you several times, but you did not answer. She has something to

o tell you!

Then, the doctor left swiftly.

Elias sat there, stunned. He clenched his fists slowly.

Calls?

He recalled the two missed calls from a foreign number and immediately checked his call log. Indeed, they were from the same number. Moreover, he had received the first call before the trial began, before any of these things had happened.

Ellas immediately returned the call.

When the call was connected, he demanded, “Who are you? What do you know?”

The moment the woman on the other end spoke, Ellas‘ eyes widened in shock. She was-

William had asked his chef to prepare a meal. After he had finished his work, he personally delivered it to the hospital.

Just as he was about to knock on the door of the ward, it suddenly opened, and Elias rushed out.

William frowned. “Elias, where are you going?

Elias turned to face him, a strange look flickering in his eyes. Yet, he quickly suppressed it and calmly replied, “Will, I’m going out for a bit.”

William sensed that something was off. Elias should be focused solely on Ashley. He wouldn’t leave at such a time.

“What is it?” he asked.

Elias didn’t respond.

He glanced at Glanna, who was still kneeling and apologizing, before departing expressionlessly.

William furrowed his brow. Elias looked like he was going to meet someone.
