Who's Crying Now, Ex-Husband? novel Chapter 82

Unable to discern the full situation over the phone, Mila decided to first calm the woman on the line. Once she was a bit more composed, Mila quickly asked for the hospital's address.

It turned out to be Metropolitan Hospital!

Images of the ambulance she had just seen at the hospital entrance flashed through Mila's mind, along with the familiar face of a middle-aged woman.

Wasn't that Sienna, the one who takes care of Mr. Eugene from the Montgomery family?

"Secretary Sophie, please wait here. When my aunt comes out, explain everything to her. I'm heading to the emergency room first to see what's going on," Mila said swiftly to Sophie, who was standing nearby.

Sophie, with her long ponytail and sharp black-and-white business attire, had overheard the entire phone call and understood the urgency of the situation. She quickly nodded in agreement.

Mila hurriedly dashed toward the emergency room.

The person in trouble was her brother-in-law, Eugene, who was Lysander's younger brother from the Montgomery family. Although she didn't know the specifics, the fact that Sienna was in tears and mentioned surgery indicated it was serious.

Even though she was the eldest daughter-in-law of the Montgomery family, with a pending divorce, she was practically an outsider and couldn't bear this responsibility.

While running, Mila called Lysander to inform him of the situation and the hospital's address, suggesting he come over.

Surprisingly, when Lysander answered, he was unusually cold.

"Eugene's having surgery? What's it to me if he does or doesn't? Let me know if he dies, and maybe I'll consider getting him a coffin," he said before hanging up.

Mila was stunned.

Ignoring Sienna, who was on the verge of fainting from crying, Mila first spoke with the doctor. It was acute severe appendicitis, and Eugene was in septic shock. His condition was life-threatening, and any delay could be fatal.

Without further hesitation, Mila signed the consent form.

Once Eugene was taken into surgery, Mila was drenched in sweat. Sienna sat on the floor, utterly exhausted, clutching Mila's hand in gratitude.

"Mrs. Montgomery, thank goodness for you! I wouldn't have known what to do otherwise. I'm just a caretaker. If something happened to Mr. Eugene, what would I do? Can you believe how the Montgomery family is? They don't even care about their own child! Leaving him out there with no one to contact..." Sienna sobbed, overwhelmed by her bad luck.

Mila took a deep breath, steadied herself, and gently helped Sienna to her feet, offering a few comforting words before getting back to the matter at hand.

"What exactly happened? How did his condition become so severe so suddenly?"
