HIS CONTRACTUAL MISTRESS

Chapter 499 Take My Hand



Chapter 499 Take My Hand

A few hours later...

"Oh, Frederick! Finally, you are here!" Hilda ran toward her husband and cried. She looked at him between her blurry eyes from tears that had never ended pouring down her face since Hailee delivered the children. "Fred, where is our son?"

Hilda was sobbing. Fred had to catch her when she almost stumbled on the floor. After she learned Vincent was assassinated and now missing, she didn't stop wailing.

"Calm down, Hilda."

"How could I?" she snapped at her husband. "Our daughter-in-law was in a coma after she bled and then had forced labor! She was saved from her recent seizure! How about next time? And our grandchildren? Oh, poor babies…." Hilda sobs.

"I should be the one suffering instead of them. Say something, Fred…."

Fred stared at his wife, who looked too helpless at the moment. Her delicate face suddenly sank, and her eyes swollen from crying.

"I am also so worried about our son- and daughter-in-law, especially our grandchildren… It pained me every time I remembered their poor condition. We are doing all we can to save our son. Soon, he will reunite with his wife and children. The Prime Minister of T Country is trying his best to negotiate with those men who have his grandson."

"How long? Can you not imagine those wild animals? How about snakes? What if our son got bitten? I think he is also injured. He will die of infection if he is not treated right away! We need to find him today. And those men! I will make them pay!"

Fred let his wife fret. He was already familiar with her temperament for over thirty years of marriage with Hilda.

"Say something, Fred! Huhuhu…"

Fred kneaded his temple and sighed. "Hilda, like you, I also wanted to find our son sooner and capture those men. If only…. That is on my mind. My prayer is for our son to come back alive and meet his children. But we have to be patient. Master Shun Crow is doing everything to rescue our son. Dead or alive, they will bring our son back."

"Don't say our son will die! His wife and children are waiting for him! He has to live!" It was a wonder that Hilda's tears never ended flowing from her eyes.

"He will…" Fred comforted his wife, wiping the tears from falling down her face. "That is why you have to pull yourself together. Do you think it will help Hailee if she sees you bawling like this?"

Although his wife is not dressing up the way she always has been and has exquisite makeup on her face, she still looks mighty and extraordinary.

"Our son would not just die without fighting to live. Aren't you who nag him every day to do well? Instead of enjoying his summer vacation, our son visits a secluded area to train. It was you who wanted him to learn self-defense. After my father died in an ambush, I almost died as well. It gives you the idea that our son must know how to protect himself."

"At this moment, I know Vincent remembered everything you nagged him," Fred added, and he sounded humoring.

Listening to her husband, Hilda thought Fred was praising her.

But then, at the end of his speech, Fred more likely jested at her.

Hilda frowned and glared at her husband. "Do you have to use the word nag if you feel like complimenting me?"

"Well, I know it is effective to stop you from crying. Listen, Hilda. Everyone is only waiting for the perfect opportunity to rescue our son. Jacob and Master Shun would not allow those assassins to get out of the forest."

"I will try to stay strong, Fred. However, every time I look at our grandchildren…." Even though she said that, still, Hilda could not hold her tears. They were like rain pouring down from her eyes.

"All right." Fred strokes Hilda's back to calm her down. "Doctor Williams is here. I believe he could treat our daughter-in-law and grandchildren. So, stop crying now."

"I know, Fred. But still… Earlier, when the doctors were in panic while saving Hailee, I thought… Our son would no longer see his beloved wife. What will happen to our son if he comes back to see his wife is gone?"

"Please, stop. You were only breaking your heart with the things running in your head."

"You are right, Fred. I better pray. Are you coming?"

"Of course. Let's go. Let's pray together after I meet our grandchildren."

Fred and Hilda went to the Pediatric Ward and watched the four babies from the window. Fred wanted to touch and hold them. It pained him to see those medical machines connected to their tiny bodies. However, his grandchildren were inside the incubator and on treatment.

"They were beautiful." Fred, who is rare to show his emotion to anyone, even in front of his family, shed tears. He felt sad and happy at the same time. 'God, please let their dad come back alive.'

Meanwhile, in the ICU.

Jacob could feel his heart squeezed inside his chest seeing his daughter like this.

"Oh, princess, my poor daughter. Dad is here now. Please, wake up…" Jacob did not stop his tears and broke down.

He took Hailee's right hand and kissed the back of the palm. He gazed at his daughter earnestly and did not stop talking with her.

"Be strong, princess. We all love you and are waiting for you to wake up. I love you, my princess. Thank you for giving me four beautiful grandchildren. Do you know how brave they were? You heard correctly, princess. They were fighting to live and to meet their mom and dad."

"So, please… Come back to us, princess."

Several hours ago…

"Please, everyone, get out. Hector, you stay behind to assist me."

"Doctor Williams? How about us? Why would we…?" Doctor Dave was confused why they were kicked out of the room when the patient was in terrible condition.

"It's all right. I will be assisted by the latest medical system I created with Doctor Payne's help. Thank you, everyone. Don't worry. I will still need you to monitor the princess the entire night." Derek did his best to make the other doctors understand their situation, and he could not reveal what other methods they would do to save Hailee.

At the door, Madison and Levi catch air from running.

"Uncle Derek, I'm here."

"Great!"

Madison laid down on the stretcher, and Hector was pushed toward and positioned next to Hailee's bed. She held Hailee's hand and closed her eyes.

In the next moment, Madison found herself inside a bedroom. She is not familiar with this room. But to judge the interior design, it belongs to a man.

Then she heard voices…

"Let me go!" Hailee screamed.

"Hailee! Take my hand!"

"No!"
