No Escape from Love novel Chapter 222

Seeing Mr. Hastings Senior's reaction only made me angrier, but now wasn't the time to argue with him. Mom was still in the emergency room, and I needed to focus on her condition first.

Taking a deep breath, I forced down my anger and turned to the doctor.

"Doctor, how is my mom?" I asked.

The doctor removed his mask and said wearily, "The patient fainted due to emotional distress, and her condition was already weak to begin with. The situation is not looking optimistic. We're doing our best to save her. Please wait patiently."

"Emotional distress?" I murmured, images of Grandma and Aunt Shirley's faces flashing in my mind.

At that moment, Mr. Hastings Senior walked over.

"Doctor, when will she wake up? She never stops worrying us all day long."

I spun around and glared at him. "Mr. Hastings Senior, do you even have a shred of humanity? My mom must've been blind to have ever fallen for you."

His expression darkened as he pointed at me. He was struggling for words. Ultimately, he simply flung his hand in frustration and stormed out of the hospital.

After what felt like an eternity, the emergency room light finally turned off. A doctor stepped out, and I rushed forward. "Doctor, how is my mom?"

The doctor let out a sigh. "She's out of danger but needs to be hospitalized for observation."

Hearing those words, I finally felt a weight lift from my chest.

Since she needed rest, I arranged for her to stay in a private ward.

Elena, who had been listening nearby, felt a jolt of urgency. "Are they really planning to abandon Nicole and Serena and run away?" she thought. She quickly stepped in front of them, blocking their path.

Felicia and Shirley were both startled.

Felicia's eyes narrowed as they studied her. "Who are you? What do you want?"

Elena took a deep breath, composing herself. She lifted her chin, putting on a professional demeanor. "Good evening, ladies. I'm a reporter from YS Media. I just overheard your conversation. You're related to Madam Burke and Ms. Ashford, correct? I'd love to interview you regarding them."

Felicia and Shirley froze as they exchanged wary glances.

"An interview? About what?" Felicia asked suspiciously.
