All too late for his love

Chapter 236

The doctor fearfully pointed at the white sheet draped across a body, saying, "Mr. Mayer, she's here."

Matthew staggered. He released the doctor and slowly dragged himself to the body. He reached out to lift the white sheet over her. Never had he expected it to feel so heavy. He mustered all his energy to lift it.

"Mr. M-"

Matthew was thrilled when he realized it wasn't Willow under the sheet. Pressing a hand against his chest, he realized that the fact suggested that Willow was still in the ER-she might have a shot at life! He received a text from Damon after stepping out of the morgue. Damon began, “Mr. Mayer, you hung up before I could tell you the location of Ms. Sanford. She's being operated on in the ER on the fifth floor." Matthew shoved the phone back into his pocket, feeling surprised yet thankful that it was all a misunderstanding.

When he arrived at the fifth floor, he found Zayn anxiously waiting by the doors of the ER. Having come across Zayn a few times for business, this was the first time Matthew saw the esteemed Mr. Carter in such a perturbed state. Zayn had always been calm in the face of any adversity.

Zayn's feelings were obvious to the people around him. He had repeatedly claimed he disliked Willow, yet Matthew found the truth to be the opposite.

At that thought, he laughed at himself in a self-deprecating way. It seemed he was no different than Zayn.

He, too, had claimed to despise Willow, but he became an anxious wreck when something bad happened

to her. He was not himself at all.

When the doors of the ER flung open, Zayn dashed over, asking, "Doctor, how is she doing?"

"Mr. Carter, she has unfortunately lost a huge amount of blood. She needs a blood infusion urgently, but she has a rare Rh-negative blood type.

"We don't have enough supply of Rh-negative blood at the blood bank. We're thinking of another solution."

"Take

my blood! I'm Rh-negative, too!" Without hesitation, Zayn rolled up his sleeve and motioned at the doctor to draw his blood.

The doctor, aware of Zayn's high social standing, was cautious about drawing his blood. Still, he wouldn't want to turn down Zayn's offer after seeing how worried Zayn acted. He made Zayn change into a PPE

suit and led him into the ER to donate blood for Willow.

For the first time in Matthew's life, he regretted not being born with Rh-negative blood as he watched Zayn disappear into the ER. He could have donated his blood to Willow if only he were Rh-negative. Despite that, he patiently waited by the entrance, hoping to get the news that she was safe and sound.

Before he got any updates on Willow, his phone rang incessantly. He furrowed his brows when he saw Skyler's name on the screen. Chopte: 236

"Mr. Mayer, where are you? Come here right now! Willa is having am sudden meltdown. She refused to cooperate with the doctor

"She claims that her stomach hurts, but she removes the IV needle from her hand. Check on her now. I'm

worried for her health if this keeps going on!"

Matthew cast an unreadable look at his phone screen that slowly dimmed. Wilhelmina was warded in the

department right behind the ER building, and her room was on the top floor.

Matthew walked down a long

m

corridor to reach the inpatient department. The top floor, where the VIP rooms were located, was rather empty as there were only a few patients around.

He immediately overheard

Wilhelmina's piercing scream upon descending the stairs. "No! Don't kill my child! Save me! Don't kill my child!"
